Hi All,
As some of you may remember, I was able to work at the Tamashii Nations booth last October for New York Comic Con. Well they asked if I could help them again for NY Toy Fair and of course I said yes. I just wanted to report back with some news after speaking with one of their reps from Japan (this was a different guy setting up all the displays). He seemed to be about my age (26) and was very friendly.
He said that Android 17 is next in the lineup with Kid Buu most likely following up after him to complete the main villains of the series. Super Buu and Fat Buu are much bigger versions and from what I gather, those bigger figures aren't favored by Bandai for production. He said Nappa and Shrenon are no longer a consideration.
We didn't put the figures in the cases yet but I wouldn't count on seeing any new prototypes at TF unfortunately. He just showed me Android 18 while he was getting everything ready for tomorrow.
Just because there's a goalie doesn't mean you can't score.
Darn so in this case we probably won't get Nappa or Shenron anytime soon. I really want to know what the SDCC Exclusive is going to be though I'm having my friend go buy me the exclusives I want.

That's a damn shame about Nappa, but I didn't think there was any chance of him being made. They wouldn't have this problem if they hadn't made him so damn big! Nappa's barely taller than the rest of the Z fighters in the Saiyan Saga and is basically the same height as Piccolo. I was really kind of hoping for Super Buu, though.
Hopefully we see a much improved 17 the next time they decide to show us hid prototype. Their Kid Buu will surely be awesome, though.

Damn shame about Shenron and Nappa but Kid Buu does sound good.
No big figures probably means we might not get Android 16 D:

If nothing else it's nice to have that kind of confirmation on Nappa. I do hope it at least comes out later on even if it's highly unlikely. I'd really like to know what's coming in the future, to me Kid Buu was an obvious choice but what's coming after that?
