If we're doing obscure henchman characters I want #14 and #15, they'd look sick in the android saga display. I would also like to see Androids 13 14 & 15 one day (although I admit I’m not a huge fan of Super Android 13, I think his character design is kinda ugly). It would be great to have a complete Android set on the shelf. I wonder if Tamashii will make Super Android 17 one day.* Neizu, Dore, and Sauza. Tamashii will never make them, but it's fun to speculate. I have the Demoniacal Fit Salza, and although it isn’t the greatest figure, it poses well next to Cooler. I just wish I had the other 2. Dore might be able to be recreated using parts from existing figures due to his muscular body type, but Neizu might be more of a challenge since he’s quite skinny & I don’t think there’s any other SHF that looks similar to him, so it would have to be made from the ground up unfortunately. I'm wondering why when Bandai makes Trules it's a excellent job but when it comes down to Goku, it's a failure. It’s probably because since there’s so many iterations of Goku, some will look better than others & Tamashii turns a blind eye because there will always be a next Goku if the one they just put out contains defects. But I have no idea, this is just my guess. Edit: another shot of Turles with Goku http://instagram.com/p/Co16O-xuXqL Personally I’m more excited for this than Beast Gohan or any DBS release. I’ll always prefer the legacy characters from my childhood. Everyone on IG is going crazy showing their Beast Gohan’s & I’m over here like “when is red gi chibi Gohan with Icarus coming out 🥺” * for the uninformed on why there isn’t previous Androids like 1-12, they were all considered failures by Dr. Gero and never saw the light of day (with the exception of Android 8 whom was featured in the OG Dragon Ball and even he was deemed a failure): http://instagram.com/p/CVfiFwZs4uT

Turles does look great. Anyone else hoping for proper super saiyan grade 2/3 of Vegeta and Trunks as they add to the cell saga? The faces of SS4 Vegeta and this Turles really are the best Saiyan faces they have done so far. Hoping that’s a good sign for those to come!

This confirmed that Turles is a must buy. But, those shoulder pads, I don't remember Raditz having this, Raditz had the old engineering right?
I will never get ouf of Dragon Ball collecting hu?...x)

Turles’ shoulder pads use a similar system as Broly and I think it is way better than the ones used in Vegeta/Raditz. The figure looks fantastic, one of the best releases so far. I want to know what is coming next for Cell and Boo saga. USSJ Trunks? Edit: Great pics as always from Isaac Wong: http://instagram.com/p/Co4TYCkpnCo

So they went the Broly route for the shoulder pads, that's perfect. I can't wait to get it.

My Turles should be delivered today, I can't wait. All that's left is King Cold and I'll pretty much be done with saiyan armor characters unless we get Turles's henchmen like Cacao of course.

Turtles looks amazing! Tamashii really nailed this release. However I don’t think they’ll consider his henchmen since they’re extremely obscure. I would’ve loved to have Baddonk’s teammates but there’s been no hints that they will ever be made, so Tullece’s team is even more unlikely unfortunately. Tamashii has only fairly recently been comfortable releasing B-listers but those henchmen are easily D-list villains so we’re still a while away from them being even considered. Hopefully I’m wrong though.

Good! Maybe they'll stop overcharging for the original now!

Okay, that Goku looks amazing. Part of me wishes that they retooled him to be shirtless like in the final portion of the fight with Frieza. The hair reminds me of how SSJ Goku looked in Tenkaichi 3, and I love that. The faces look spot-on in my opinion, and the boots being the correct color scheme for the Frieza saga is also a nice touch.
Like with the EE Android 16, even though I got the original release, I may have to pick this one up also because I really am digging the new paint job.

This exclusive is an exclusive I like x) I can easily pass on that and not be pissed. But I'll be waiting for its release in Europe and I'll be getting it.

I personally think the faces were never good on this figure and are still off. For some reason they just can’t nail Goku and Vegeta’s expressions correctly. The sculpt work was never right on the face so the new paint doesn’t help like it should. Really really waiting for the day where they make a Goku in the correct art style to the saga. I am absolutely buying because the rest of it is dope. Not to mention it’s the Anime version. Just giving my opinion that they have been nailing every characters faces other than Goku and Vegeta’s. Hopefully the official end of battle SS Goku from the 100% Frieza fight has faces that are better and swappable with this one because I think the hair sculpt is to this day perfect. Even the Saiyan Raised On Earth figure has a yellowish skin tone and Buu saga looking faces. This isn’t relevant but I seen demoniacal’s prototype of Saiyan Saga Vegeta and it’s incredible. He’s smaller, Blue suit is a little baggy and doesn’t have the same size, muscle tone and faces as Buu Saga Vegeta. Very interested to see what the next official Goku will be and the quality of that. I care a lot about this line and just am expecting quality put into the 2 biggest characters. Sometimes I think they don’t care because they will sell anyway.
