Cool figures, but ughhh… I haaate how you have to buy them to have a 100% complete Gohan figure. I can just imagine the scalpers having a complete Gohan & reselling it for $400 on ebay. I hope some third party company copy these accessories, they look great.

Oh n doubt Demonically Fit already has the blueprints for this. They released SS2 Goku immediately after the official one came out. They will definitely capitalize on this.

Kind of a disparity between the two as far as accessories. Gamma 1 gets one more head and the crossed arms, gamma 2 gets less I guess bc of Gohans cape? Cool looking figures tho

I hope some third party company copy these accessories, they look great. DL customs are doing a super Saiyan head, awakening base head, and Beast head..but they're all sold out now.

solubletoast I’m sure they’ll do limited reissues. Those pieces are in high demand so we just have to be patient.

Those parts should've come with Gohan to begin with, if nothing else but to make a good figure even better. On one hand, I get why Tamashii did what they did, but on the other, what was stopping them from giving us the heads for Gohan? If it was to sell people on the Gammas, then it's made scummier since they were announced and went up for preorder before people had the time to care about them as characters, ergo they'd be paying $140-$230 (depending on seller) for two characters they didn't (and probably still don't) care about in order to get parts for a character they do care about. They could've thrown the parts in with Gohan, albeit at a marked up price, and announced the Gammas after the international release of the film, then people wouldn't have been as pissed as they were about them having Gohan's parts. All that aside, I will at least say the Gammas don't look half bad on the appearance front. The designs are still kind of boring to me, but they at least look accurate to the source material (unlike another "Premium" release from a year ago now.) No idea on movement, but from what I gather it seems to be limited in the upper half, but pretty decent in the lower half. Not sure if I'm entirely sold on them though. Probably will just say screw it and buy the Gohan parts off eBay or something like that. But like you said, I don't expect scalpers to be very kind with these figures or the Gohan parts.

Exactly, which is the same reason I’m skipping Gohan altogether. Then they have Beast Gohan as a separate release… to complete the entire set will set you back around $400 USD+ taxes. That’s insane.
Just give us a purple gi Gohan Vs Broly with Goten & Trunks, I would’ve been more than satisfied with that. But they have to make things complicate by including different parts with different characters which really irritates me & kinda kills my enthusiasm.

Gamma 1 and Gamma 2 look fantastic! My only beef is the box color. I put my boxes on bookshelves for display, and I love the color variation of the rest of the line. All of the Super Hero boxes being gold has made that portion of my boxes display pretty mundane. Harrumph.
I'm pretty agnostic on the Gohan parts being in other boxes. "Build - a figure" collections are pretty standard for fig lines and spreading the Gohan pieces across figures allows for more accessory creation for Gohan! If they had put them all in one box, he likely wouldn't have had as many expression for his SS face, maybe they would altogether not do a base head & cloak, etc...
Great Saiyaman comes to mind; wonderful release with tons of head variations, but it comes with virtually no varies expressions.
But on the other hand, it'd be nice for people not interested in the Gammas if they want the alternative heads. So I dunno! Of course all perspectives are valid.

Really excited to see the Gammas are coming out! ^^ I ended up preordering Gamma 2 since I really liked him in the movie so I’m hoping mine comes in soon lol ^ ^, probably going to get 1 eventually lol
I’m guessing with the Gohan parts we probably would have got at least most of them with him but he ended up being a “budget” type release so they repurposed most of them to go with other figures.
Kind of scummy for anyone who wants a full Gohan but I get the logic kind of. The Superhero Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo and Gohan are definitely designed to try and get new collectors into the line with relatively cheap figures. A $35-40 figure you can find at a target is an easier impulse buy then a $65-70 figure, but I also get the fact you have to buy whole other figures to get the parts is annoying
I wouldn’t be surprised if people start selling the parts separately on eBay though, or vice versa, I actually got my Jeice for a pretty low price compared to what he usually averages for because someone who just wanted the Goku-Ginyu head was selling him
I may be wrong but is the Superhero Gohan already a bit more expensive than the other “budget” figures? I swear I usually see him around $40-$45 but I can’t tell if that’s mark up because he’s popular and sells out more or retail price

I would like the SSJ head to use with Great Saiyaman and the head with the glasses would be dope for base Gohan. I didnt like Gohan’s base hair in ToP arc, made no sense lol

This would take 6 more month on the calender wich would bring us until april 2024 before getting something else, or february if Bandai does not forget to fill next july and august (Frieza 3 is for september). Still a long time to wait :/

It's a shame that the original DB line lost its traction. It's the beginning of the series and has a lot of great characters/designs to choose from.
