I can't believe I only just found out about all these announcements!!!!!!!! WTF!! Looks like ss4 goku has a different mold of pants, finally! hell yeah... is it weird that out of all the things announced im most excited for SS4 trousers?? I was just about to make normal gokus baggier, but I think i'll just wait a while and get a couple of SS4's instead! I don't think i'll be droppin any cash on buu or goten or vegito, so my wallet is breathing a sigh of relief for a while... what are these effects anyway? I cant see anything directly related to Z?

well since theyre starting a GT line now, its very possible to start a DB line as well...most likely it would be a goku, hopefully with a nimbus cloud as a stand, a power pole. the sdcc version could be a the blue outfit.

As far as I can remember there were three effect parts specifically related to Dragonball. You can be forgiven for missing them, I did too at first, until I realised they were also carded for upcoming release. They are all in the static display - the one with Broly, 16 and others, not the diorama display. It seems Tamashii has been listening to fans demands after all... there is a rocky mountain landscape piece, taking its visual design cue from the Goku vs. Vegeta fight; an "SS" Aura effect, situated at Broly's feet; and lastly, a billowing wind/sand storm effect, beneath 16's feet. Pretty good times for us Z collectors!

Pretty good times for us Z collectors! thanks dude... well I don't want to sound ungrateful but im not too impressed ... the rocks display is cool but I think the effects are crap... I was hoping for something like this ... Attachment Deletedthis is my own idea ( more at my custom page @ dragonballfigures.boards.net/thread/1128/adzs-wip-finished-custom-figures?page=9&scrollTo=59173 ) and I hoped someday Bandai would make something like this but much better i.e a whole aura effect not just four bits of flash to go around the feet!!??

I don't think a full body aura effect would be cost effective for bandai, unless they went the route of just making it a plate which you put behind the figures. But imagine a fully 3d mostly transparent molded aura effect. It'd be a gigantic restrictive hunk of plastic that would look awesome, in one pose forever.

yeah well I wasn't thinking of a 3d one as like you said it would be restrictive , i'd like to just see something like I did - but better!
I mean look at the other effects - fire, water, wind, lightning or whatever... why not do something like that specifically for dbz?? these others are cool but don't really suit Z all that well.

I dunno... it could all come together quite nicely with only a little ingenuity and finesse.
I can almost picture it now. Envision a stoic, recently transformed, SS Gohan; standing within the blast crater effect piece. The smaller fragmented pieces all positioned as though wrought asunder by his great exertion of barometric pressure. The blue lightening pieces could be positioned sparsely around him. As if to signify the surplus of unstable spiritual energy emanating from Gohan, as it quickly disperses, crackling into atmos. Combine all of this, surrounded by the aura and "whooshing" effect, including some choice lighting effects. Pure masterpiece!

Ok this is pretty off topic guys, but I have something ''important'' to say.... I just got amazing deals for a Krillin figure, Piccolo figure, 17, and 18 figures. I am thinking about wich 2 first I should get. For one, Krillin and 18 are pretty rare atm and expensive, so I thought I should get them quickly, while piccolo and 17 can wait for a while atm. Wich ones should I get? I can only get 2.

I'd probably buy a Datong version of Trunks if it were decent. 300 dollars my ass.

some figures are too expensive for me. For $300 i can get a guitar and form a bond with it and spend hour upon hours playing it. Plus imo musical instruments>figures in looks and functionality... ill never buy a figure over just buying a new guitar to look at. maybe thats just me. oh and bills come first always! haha

EXACTLY, I don't understand these people who are absolutely willing to pay 200 to 300 actual dollars for a (I don't wanna sound like an jerk here) piece of plastic that you will proabably only have displayed and not do anything else with it for the rest of the years to come. I love figures, but paying 300 dollars is redicilous, even for todays standards.
