No one is as major as Zangya. The "Z" in "DragonBall Z" stands for Zangya.

SDCC is probably gonna be SSJ3 Goku. It's the only really viable re-paint at this point. Cell MAYBE but I think its highly unlikely. They're full on Buu Saga at this point. I wouldn't mind a boot-tipped SSJ Vegeta but that hardly counts as a repaint.

SDCC 2015 I'm assuming. 45 dolars on release hell I'll buy 3!

She's a new bad guy in Xenoverse. major as buu or as zangya? Not known yet, there is her and a male that are the main bad guys of Xenoverse, and there's speculation that they are both on Beerus's level.

I wouldn't mind a boot-tipped SSJ Vegeta but that hardly counts as a repaint. I really hope not... Not because I want SSJ3 Goku re-released, because I do. But he should be the standard repaint re-release... Getting him as a SDCC exclusive will already have a price hike on top of whatever they charge for him.

I don't feel like watching it. Do they say anything important?

I don't think they've ever done a repaint as a standard release. The only repainted figures are from SDCC. I would personally love it if they would repaint their standard re-releases to more anime accurate colors instead of using SDCC. If they could just stop with the manga all together and stick with anime, that'd be great (I hate the manga versions). Thing is, they don't even re-release anything to begin with . I feel an exclusive should be more unique than a simple repaint from manga to anime. Arlian was the most unique repaint imo

Transcript:
-Polls are important and Tamashii does listen to them. Broly WON the last poll and that's why he's being made. No details given on how the polls "work".
-REISSUES ASKED ABOUT: Trunks, SSJ Vegeta, Gohan..."Non-exclusives like Gohan are foreseeable"..no policy decided about on web exclusives. SSJ Goku Figuarts Zero WAS a web exclusive and WAS re-issued. Mentions of Power Ranger reissues are made. Representative is aware that SSJ Vegeta is VERY popular and goes for high prices on eBay. Seems he wants to give a balanced answer on this since it's a delicate subject with fans.
-Another version of Vegeta is "possible, it's very possible. He's a very popular character."
-Nappa and Shenron. Sales of Broly are HIGH! Pre-orders have caused him to talk with his colleagues and express interest on bringing Shenron back to the table. "People are willing to fork out lots of money for Dragon Ball stuff" (Sounds like this guy "gets it" unlike his Japanese bosses). Likely wouldn't be in scale but would use the old sculpt prototype we've seen before. Shenron isn't a stretch...
-Inspiration for SSJ3 Goku Figuarts Zero EX...Confirms that their BIGGEST CHARACTER CATEGORY IN THE U.S.A. IS DRAGON BALL. More surprises to come. More unveilings at Tamashii Nations in Japan (which we've seen). More polls will likely be coming...
-Questions on Power Rangers...skipping this..
-Figuarts ZERO is not "pre-order driven" but is "market driven"...hence why there's a plethora of DBZ stuff coming out...
-Power Rangers "on break" for 2015...re-issues possible. Curious to see what's to come with Power Rangers movie in 2016.
-Demand for Mighty Morphin' is extremely high...not comparable to other Power Ranger stuff...
-Gamera questions...Monsterarts is driven by younger teen collectors and polls were done in Japan to decide the characters.
-Tells people to pay attention to Tamashii Nations event.
-Mentions Robot Damashii is popular. Metal build is huge and Gundam Wing is very popular with the US Market. Adding diecast is an Asian-centric idea and there will be quantities available here.
-Tamashii Effects parts...no comments on character specific parts...there will be more effects coming out that won't be character specific.
-This is bizarre...he confirms that as a whole, Dragon Ball is the BIGGEST character line but doesn't really confirm how so, in profits? Inventory? Demand? Etc. S.H. Figuarts is their biggest line and they've seen growth in ZERO and unarticulated lines (hence maybe why we're seeing Zero EX). There's high expectations for INJUSTICE.
-Tamashii Nations is expanding into more stores. They expanded into more stores in September but doesn't specify which ones (likely Barnes & Nobles)

If they could just stop with the manga all together and stick with anime, that'd be great (I hate the manga versions). Thing is, they don't even re-release anything to begin with . I feel an exclusive should be more unique than a simple repaint from manga to anime. Arlian was the most unique repaint imo That's why I would prefer something different like Kaio-ken Goku (in shades of red, dark red, black, etc.) as a SDCC Exclusive. Something cool and unique, but not a "must-have" for collectors. SSJ3 Goku re-release as a SDCC Exclusive (or manga colors) is a "must-have" in my eyes especially since the original release is hitting high prices on the secondary market. This is also why I'm not an advocate for new molds being used as SDCC Exclusives, I've seen it done by Hasbro, Mattel and now LEGO and it pisses people off because it draws scalpers who buy lots up and just pawn them off keeping them out of collectors' hands. Hasbro and Mattel have calmed down a bit in the years, but LEGO is the new "king" of ridiculous SDCC Exclusives. I was at SDCC 2014 and saw this all first hand as well as dealt with it in the past when I collected other lines... Arlia Vegeta is unique and special enough to be a SDCC Exclusive, but not a "must-have" in my eyes because most fans would want the regular release colors. Manga colored SSJ3 Goku would be my re-release wish. But NOT as a SDCC Exclusive...

I don't think there have been enough reissues for a pattern to be established.
