Seriously how did we get Android 19 and Guldo before Kid Buu? Someone tag me if and when that Kid Buu above goes up for pre order.

With Kid Buu I kind of get it, it’s a matter of when at this point with him not if
Until about 5 or so years ago (when they did Fat Buu, Super Saiyan Gotenks, Great Saiyaman, and Super Buu) I think the only Buu saga figures they did were Ultimate Gohan and SSJ3 Goku
It was only around when they did Raditz and Ginyu where they actually started doing more “niche” stuff like any villains/forms besides the “main” ones with Cell and Freeza, and the Buu saga is definitely the least generally well known/received of the Z arcs
They’ve been working their way through Z focusing on each arc at a time
We’ll get Kid Buu as a retail release whenever they start Buu stuff I guarantee it, it just hasn’t really been the focus right now

It seems like Tamashii has been cherry-picking the Boo Saga characters over the years, unlike the previous sagas where almost every B & even some C list characters have been made. They even teased Buuhan & Buutenks prototypes way back in like 2017, like what was even the purpose of them doing that. It’s very inconsistent

the prototypes were back when they made ridiculous amounts of prototypes that never got made to be fair. Like Jaco, Champa and Vados, SSJ4 Goku, Angel Goku, Kid Goku, Nappa, SSJ3 Vegeta, there was a LOT back then lol
I really think it's because the buu saga isn't *as* popular as the others and we only really started getting more B and C list stuff the past couple years after they'd done a Buu Saga batch and looped back around to Saiyan/Freeza
Like I think it was only a little before the Gotenks, Super Buu, Fat Buu and Saiyman releases that they actually made NAPPA because they weren't sure if he'd sell. The line has changed a lot in just the past like, 3/4 years lol
I think when they get past the Cell Saga probably by the end of next year, we're 100% getting Kid Buu and probably a ton of other Buu Saga stuff finally lol
I think Buutenks and Buuhan, SSJ3 Gotenks, Kid Buu, Dabura, Goten and Trunks, and Videl are all locks whenever they get to the saga finally lol

Fun fact: till this day we never got manga colors Mirai Trunks, when in fact that should’ve been the ORIGINAL release & the anime colors should’ve been the event exclusive. Tamashii either made a mistake or didn’t realize until years later.

Perhaps if they decide to make manga colors Mirai Trunks in the near future, it could come with an extra accessory for King Kold.

It's been like, less than a month since we saw him, I'm sure he'll be up soon it took like 2 or 3 months for 20 to go up after 19 did, just give it some time the fact Freeza is up basically garuantees he'll be up in a couple months at most and won't end up like TOP Roshi or Base Vegeta lol
Remember when there was a poll for 3 Fighterz characters to get figures what happened to *that* lol
