My friend, are you banprestolex on instagram? 100%. Formerly Lexiyrock on DBF. Tried to rip me off/steal my money. Got banned for it. No bueno. Looking forward to the rest of the Super line though.

Not sure about release dates, just guessing two volumes will be released in december Saw these pictures this morning. Can't wait!!! They release October - February. Vol. 1 in October, 2 in November, 3-4 in December, 5 in January, and 6 in February. Full dates haven't yet been announced. It would've been nice to see a few more new characters, but I love that General Tao/Tao Pai Pai, Uub, (another) Perfect Cell, (another) Kid Buu, and "Farewell" Goku are included. These are a great homage to the series as a whole. Really looking forward to getting my hands on these.

So guessing thats all goingto be original dragon ball all over again then I don't think so... Not necessarily anyway. The volumes are labeled as "Dragon Ball SUPER 30th Anniversary WCF" which says to me that, while it is obviously 30 years since the release of Dragon Ball, the figures themselves might be a celebration of the entire series as a whole. Also, the figures included in Volume 1 aren't from any particularly early point in Dragon Ball, like the original Dragon Ball Volume 1 figures are. I think we'll see a mix in future volumes. Only time will tell though.

According to the new Shonen Jump release calendar, we should expect the release of Dragon Ball 30th Anniversary WCF Volumes 1-6 from October to February. Thrilled that there will be an extended release for one release title. They've been cutting each off at 3 or so volumes recently. Can't wait to see what these include!

By the way, just my opinion or WCF prices have raised? What prices are you finding these days Zafion? I think it all depends on where you buy the figures from. They're not exactly dirt cheap, but I'm still able to find new sets for a reasonable price.

Here's the new Prince Vegeta volume too! Coming August 2016. Personally, this is the complete opposite of what I was expecting, but how cool! I thought for sure we'd end up with King Vegeta and Kid Vegeta, among others. Instead, we get a set of some of the most unique Vegeta moments of any figures ever made! Really excited for these as well. Banpresto is nailing it this year with WCF.

First look at the physical product for WCF Battle of Saiyans Vol. 1 - 3! They look amazing! The characters for volume 3 were unknown until now. Kid Buu!! They really did a great job picking some of the most iconic scenes in DBZ history. Can't wait for these.

Working on it! Hopefully we can get it updated soon. In the meantime, behold WCF Battle of Saiyans Vol. 1, coming in June! Banpresto can't miss these days. This volume recreates three of the most iconic scenes in DBZ history: the final struggle against Cell, the moment before Goku and Vegeta square off for the first time, and Bardock's defiance in the face of the fateful end Frieza brings to Planet Vegeta. In my opinion, this is one of the best volumes yet! I can't wait to see what volumes 2 & 3 have in store. I can't wait man! This line just gets better and better, and they are the perfect size for the way I have them displayed and the space I have ahha This Volume looks awesome, and I can't wait to see what that "Prince Vegeta" Volume brings. If it's literally just a bunch of Vegetas including one from the Frieza Saga, I will lose my mind! Rumor has it we might see, among others, a King Vegeta figure, as well as Kid Vegeta in his Planet Vegeta uniform. No sources to cite. Just what I've heard. Only time will tell... I'd love to see your display in the Members Collections forum! I have some big plans myself for my WCF display. Hopefully I'll be ready to reveal it in the next two weeks or so!

I always told myself to stay away from those WCF. They're too tiny, too expansive, but man, they're beautiful. And that Battle of Saiyans series just kills me. Take the plunge! lol Too tiny is relative... Too expensive is fair, considering the size. If that's what you mean - too pricey for the size - then I can appreciate that, but they really do a great job of representing some of the most iconic parts of the anime. I do feel like WCF is kind of an all-or-nothing line though. Having a few random characters here and there doesn't feel like it would be worth the price. And considering how much it would cost to gather all of them starting from scratch, I can certainly understand how you feel. That being said, this new series is definitely shaping up to be pretty awesome. I'd be curious to hear if it sways you.

Hey guys! It would be awesome if we could update the list on the first page to reflect the updated product images as well as new releases and expected releases I could help if needed! Working on it! Hopefully we can get it updated soon. In the meantime, behold WCF Battle of Saiyans Vol. 1, coming in June! Banpresto can't miss these days.

News out of Japan today! WCF Prince Vegeta to be released in August. WCF Battle of Saiyans Vol. 3 coming in September.
No pictures or even a list of characters yet. It's also unclear what details surround the "Prince Vegeta" release. I have to assume it'll be its own volume of 6, but we'll have to wait and see which characters will be included. Hopefully we hear more soon!

Does anyone know if the mega wcf shenron comes with the 7 dragon balls? Its the one with the red box. The one in the red box does indeed come with the 7 dragon balls. The original release, in the black box, does not.

Hi all! These figures are so cool! I've been wanting to start a collection, is there a place where I can buy an entire volume(s) without having to buy each one individually? I checked Amazon and ebay and can't seem to find volumes for sale. I really want that Vol.0 with Bardock Hey man, nice to meet you. There are a handful of different shopping options for WCF. First of all, there are definitely quite a few listings on American eBay. Search for "dragon ball wcf" to make sure you find all the results. If you can't find when you're after on there, there are a handful of "How To" threads in the Japanese DragonBall Figures forum on here that will help you learn how to buy from various Japanese websites. Yahoo! Auctions Japan seems to have the largest selection. You can also always try a Japanese Shopping Service. They charge a fee but will basically buy items for you from Japan. Here's a post I made about the service I use: dragonballfigures.com/thread/2898/japanese-shopping-serviceHope that helps! I'd love to see pictures if you end up starting a collection.

New WCF! Battle of Saiyans volumes 1 & 2 for June and July release!!! I don't know where to start! SS2 Gohan and Perfect Cell! Finally!!! As well as base form Vegeta from the Cell Saga. Another regular-sized Broly for anyone who doesn't want to shell out tons of money for the Kai version. Bardock too! And King Piccolo! A first for him. I'm even excited to see what poses of Goku we get! Banpresto really hit the mark with these volumes. I can't wait to see the finished product! Nice nice! too much Goku maybe (and another freezer..really?), but just for gohan and cell is worth it! btw that's a GT Trunks??? afaik we had 0 GT WCF right now o.O, can't wait to see final product! You're correct. It does appear to be GT Trunks, and that would indeed be a first for GT Characters in the WCF line. I hope it turns out not to be GT Trunks. I personally appreciate the WCF line sticking to canon characters only. There IS, however, precedent for art not corresponding with the final product. See the attached pictures showing a preview image of SS Gohan in his World Tournament Saga outfit, whereas the final product proved to be SS Gohan in his tracksuit from Resurrection 'F'. Only time will tell...
