Getting the Buutanks upgrade kit makes me wish for Super Buu figures or kits. Think a kit would probably not work for Buuhan since you would need a whole new torso, and I think the arms and neck are completely different than Buutanks. Wonder if anyone did any Buuccolo customs parts to go with this kit.

at least they do figures that are not from the Frieza arc.
>>
>>10953716
Not to bad but that's because the figure it self already has crazy shoulder engineering. Also if/when tamashii make him I'll buy it if it's worth it but I'd much rather have them make buuhan first as I prefer that version more.

None. There was a kid Goku variant exclusive with new faces last year but that's it. Otherwise that line stopped at Lunch.

>>10954013
Not many figures left to do apart from fun nostalgiabait ones like driving lesson filler figures. Or maybe even the w*men.

>>10954037
I hate plastic capes. You can't do fucking anything with them. Even worse for characters that don't remove them.
>>
>>10954037
Same, it looks too off next to the other stuff. In general I prefer a traditional take on action figures with a regular plastic without "gimmicks" for the lack of a better word. Some of the things that come to mind are like Beast Gohan's torso, cloth capes and rubber limbs like on G5 Luffy. The seamless imagination works limbs also come to mind.

Do we know if that new Gohan figure will be compatible with existing teen/cell games gohan custom faceplates/hair parts?

I'm eyeing some existing custom hair/faceplates to use with it. If we don't know for sure, or if it isn't, anything preventing me from just buying an old head on ebay and plopping that on the new neck/body of the new figure with the custom hair on the head?

Also, would the custom hair work with both the 1.0 SS2 cell games gohan, or just the 2.0 with the half ripped off gi?
>>
>>10954675
Oh, also, with Alexiexpress preorders, I heard if you don't get charged automatically when it's time to ship so if you don't manually remember to, your order gets cancelled

Is there a way to pay the full amount in advance so forgetting to do it later isn't a concern?
>>
>>10954668
you're not getting your goten and kid trunks shit
>>
>>10954675
just wait for SSJ gohan to release then people will make headsculpts for it, headpeg will likely be bigger so dont expect it to work for new body
>>
>>10954702
> headpeg will likely be bigger

Would that prevent both using the hair on the new head, AND using the old head (with the custom hair) on the new body?
>>
>>10954711
Yes.

I'm curious about this to and already have that tigery head sculpt you posted. We're just gonna have to wait until we get them. The head may even look too small if this body, neck, head is broader like they did the trunks and goku.

3rd party and in general everyone who makes non licensed DB stuff operates in China since in China if you dont call them the trademarked names there's no copyright laws against them, theres also a lot of underground China exclusive markets that sell DB stuff and if you're lucky stores on Aliexpress will sell them

>>10954823
I'm so tired of waiting for new versions of these guys. We've gotta be close, right? Right??
>>
>>10955008
I doubt they'd release Super 17 and a new Z 17 in close proximity so they're probably more far away than ever.
>>
>>10954993
Omega and Baby are probably considered GT A-listers thanks to all the games and other media they've appeared in, the former especially as the final villain of the series, and he'll be released alongside SSJ4 Gogeta, so I'd say those two are the sure-sellers of GT at this point. They'll be made in time, so why not pad the line further to get people even more invested that there will be deep(er) cuts (Super 17 would probably be a B-Tier GT villain at worst).
>>
>>10955030
I think super 17 solidifies the gt line, ssj4 gogeta, baby, majuub, ssj3 kid goku, probably guaranteed some point down the line. Maybe even those ice fire dragons, cant remember their names. I mean sucks for me since I dont like GT and these guys are gonna take up slots but those of you who care are in for a good chunk of characters

He's absorbing a 10x kamehameha, makes his body swell up also. Not exactly sure why he's drooling, but that's the scene. I didn't even remember the drool, that face just comes to mind when I think of the character, thought they might add it after the Broly crying face.

Like everyone else, I wasn't expecting them to skip the entire Baby Arc to give us this. Clearly they are trolling, but at the same time indicating that they'll be making deep cuts with GT the same way they have Z.

On that note, I don't imagine any of these are off limits now:

General Rilldo (Probably his original form)
Teen Baby
Baby Vegeta (With a base Vegeta head as well)
SSJ3 Kid Goku
Baby Vegeta 2nd Form
Baby Vegeta Final Form
Majuub
Golden Ape Goku
Golden Ape Baby Vegeta (This one is more likely, since we never got another naked grAPE for goku/gohan)
Adult Baby
Nuova shenron (True Form)
Eis Shenron
Omega Shenron
Gogeta

That should give Tamashii another >5 years of GT releases to spread out amongst everything else.

1. extremely expensive
2. 5000% not worth the price for the "quality" and "accuracy" you're getting
3. abysmal character choices
4. bad designs in general, not just inaccurate
5. you can get a statue cheaper that is far far far far far more accurate and already in a cool dynamic pose
>but but but i like to pose my toys!
yes, into cool dynamic poses and then you never touch them again unless they fall out of the pose or you feel like you need to justify an ugly poorly made 140 dollar piece of shit by taking pictures and getting maybe 2 guys to ask questions, which you will then lie about because misery loves company and like a tranny you strongly desire to not be suffering alone from a mistake.

statues are better. toys are the dumbest shit you could be spending your money on. dragon ball has so many statues that you are actually retarded if you buy inaccurate shitty toys instead. you want goku so you can clumsily pose him with some effect piece a fat loser made out of glue sticks? just get the fucking statue.

theres a healthy bootleg scene too

>>
>>10955370

>theres a healthy bootleg scene too
Yeah, if you want nothing but Goku, Goku, Vegeta, Goku, maybe a Gohan and oh, can't forget Goku. Maybe on occasion they'll throw you a bone and put out something interesting before they get back to making Goku. That's all without taking a chance at rolling the dice with QC issues.

Want an example of a true "healthy bootleg scene"? Go look at the hundreds of different products that have come out of China for Transformers. Not just 1:1 KO shit but actual shit with original designs, engineering and paint apps that Hasbro/Takara would never produce because "muh budget". Hell, you don't even need to LIKE Transformers to be able to clearly see the KO market for Dragon Ball would benefit from even just 1% of the output of their bootleg market.

>B-But Bandai makes lots of Goku too!
Yeah, to a much lesser extent than all the KO companies do. They also actually make other characters that aren't Goku mixed in there too.
>>
>>10955363
You didn't miss it. It's not out until June. Western retailers just had to take it down due to pending legal action.
>>
>>10955370
I would almost agree, as a collector of both if it wasn't for 1 word.

SCALE........

There isn't a single consistently scaled statue line and whilst I know SHF aren't perfect, generally they are.

Now find me a statue line that has a Ginyu, Cooler, Super Buu, etc. at an accurate consistent scale.
>>

>comes to toy

>>10955370
>1. extremely expensive
Compared to what? Figuarts is still a budget line compared to some of their counterparts. Not saying that we haven't seen price hikes, but EVERYTHING has and they still aren't as bad as Figma and others.
>2. 5000% not worth the price for the "quality" and "accuracy" you're getting
For some releases agreed. Though then they we get shit like Cooler and Buffku and I'd have to disagree.
>3. abysmal character choices
Subjective, but you'll get your Kid Buu eventually.
>4. bad designs in general, not just inaccurate
What the fuck are you talking about? Buffku looks perfect, Mecha Cooler was spot on aside from people bitching about him not being an (innacurate) teal color, Mecha Frieza looks fantastic.
>5. you can get a statue cheaper that is far far far far far more accurate and already in a cool dynamic pose
If you are a scale fag, statues are suffering. The cheaper prize statues are all over the place. Additionally, if I want a Goku in a non-kamehameha pose...I'd need to buy another fucking statue and then you are looking at similar cost for one nice figure.

The line can feel dead to you, but the fact we are still getting 10+ P-Bandai releases, 5+ general releases, and 4+ EE releases a year would hint at the opposite.

I wonder if they're making Teen Gohan another mini-DLC experience.
I wouldn't mind it if a base head came with Semi-Perfect Cell and SS2 with Perfect Sell.
That or SS2 is its own separate release with battle damage, I guess. So long as the heads are interchangeable.
>>
>>10955511
if it finally fucking makes them release new androids and a perfect cell i dont care how much dlc for a character i dont have theyll make me buy
>>
>>10955297
I wouldn't call one of the three major villains of GT a "deep cut." I figured there was an ok chance of Super 17 being made, but I really expected Baby, Omega, SS4 Gogeta, maybe even an adult base Goku before Super 17.

I think a lot of those are wishful thinking, though. If figure the "for sures" are Omega, Super Baby 2, and Gogeta, with "maybes" being Nouva, Eis, Rildo. I can see SS3 Kid Goku, but it may just be a head with someone else, though I'm sure they could release the existing figure with a SS and SS3 head easily enough. I really doubt they're going to do all versions of Baby, and I suspect they won't do any more Great Ape figures. The original Great Ape Vegeta was only $180, and some newer figures are out of control. Porunga was $300 and King Cold and his chair were $150. I'd imagine a GT Great Ape would be less desirable than Saiyan Saga Great Ape Vegeta and he's far more iconic, and a new one would probably be in the $250-$300 range.
>>
>>
>>10955525
Put it this way, there will be 10+ more additions to the GT line over the next few years. I thought for sure they'd just do Gogeta and quietly drop it like OG, but Super 17 signals that they are in for the long haul with lots of more popular characters to do.
>>
>>10955542
This. SS4 Gogeta is one they can always do because no matter how shit a state the GT line is in, it will sell gangbusters. Basically it's the "in case of emergency" release they always have in their back pocket.
Personally. I'd love to get a good SS4 Gogeta ASAP, but this is probably how they look at it.
>>
>>10955511
SS2 is for sure a new whole figure. Its the same as Super Hero Gohan when people thought his Beast head might come with someone else, there was no way. They have the new teen body Gohan build already they'll just tweak it a bit with damage for another release. It'll be the slightly damaged look rather than the half shirt ripped look of the EE.

Its not like the androids are way overdone like the saiyans and frieza OR easy to get, you'd have to dish up like 400-600 bucks from shitheads on the aftermarket. The event exclusive for 16 looks really nice but new 17 and 18 would benefit from better faces, even in the same outfits. I would take either, maybe leaning towards 18s second look with the white shirt

The time to add black star balls was with Trunks. At this point since they haven't done so with Trunks and 17 they're not going to. They likely don't want to commit to that many figures incase it goes unfinished like the 2nd set of dragon balls for the DB line. The new approach is to add stuff to characters like Goku's tail rather than a dragon ball.
>>
>>10955308
I'm guessing it's made of the rubbery shit they've been using lately, the description specifically mentions the hair as being movable, and I don't see any seams. They haven't shown the back yet though, so who knows.

Its just depressing. Seeing all of these characters as middle-aged losers who stopped fighting decades ago is just sad. Even the shit that people remember fondly, like SS4 Vegeta and Gogeta are in like the last 2-3 episodes, and that's it.

Seeing bald Mr. Satan, and old, grey Krillin, and all the girls are just middle-aged hags now just ain't it. It'd be one thing if it was a "passing of the torch," but Dragonball has been fumbling that premise since the Cell saga, and it was even worse with GT, since Pan was insufferable.

>Seeing all of these characters as middle-aged losers who stopped fighting decades ago is just sad.
I think Toriyama was very aware of this too. He knew his characters were too old at the end of his manga so his new modern stories were during their "prime". Lot of people want the story to move past the end of Z but at the same time I think deep down no one really wants the cast to be a bunch of geezers either.
>>
>>10957293
Toriyama had no idea how popular the series was gonna get, and effectively wrote himself into a corner. Since Goku was the main draw, a generational approach like Jojo was not going to work, so it just became increasingly high realms and kai's until we eventually got alt universes which was the dumbest idea ever.

Honestly I don't know why they didn't keep it simple as just expand on Dabura and the demon realm more. That idea was wasted on heroes.

It's 100% Toei's fault the story and characters failed. Toriyama had a pretty good idea of what he wanted for these characters at this point in their lives.

I also thought that would have been a good thing to expand upon. I mean, let's just pull the King of the Demon realm from nowhere, as some guy's minion, and then kill him off and never elaborate on it.

That said, I always thought both GT and Super had some good ideas, they were just executed so poorly. I actually never really minded the concept of the multiverse, but it was something that should have been left as a concept. That is, I think BoG should have still happened, but the reveal of other universes should have been left as that. I my opinion, Dragonball should end with the promise of new, unseen adventures for our heroes to go on, that we can only dream of and wonder about. It should be a bit open-ended, and our time with these characters was just a part of all the crazy events and fights they were a part of. I always hated DBZ's ending, and I never cared much for GT's ending either.

I just like the idea that there are way more adventures to be had in the DB world.

It's the kind of thing my teenager self thought was cool. Amusingly, Bandai/Toei seems to be pushing the guy lately, with the new units for the gachas and a couple of figures besides the figuarts releasing this year.

>>10957656
Yeah they look horrible. Reminds me of the first SS3s on the Gohan body mold and so many people were bragging about them when they looked horrible. And now they improved those bootlegs and they look fantastic. Hopefully this pushes others to make acceptable heads. Good idea, horrible execution.
>>
>>10957664
Yeah, for the longest time I thought we'd just get all 3 SS4s, Omega, Baby, Kid Goku, and maybe Pan if they were doing 7 figures. Now we have the promise of 6 figures already and no Baby, Omega or Gogeta in sight. I expect Majuub at this stage and a normal Vegeta. Rildo might be pushing it, but maybe not. Nova Shenron seems popular too, and maybe another Baby Vegeta form lol. They could easily do the 7 balls if they wanted. Hell they could do Hellfighter 17 and include a jacket to force you to buy 2.

He's newish in Legends, pretty much on par with the last 2 ultras they've released. Not sure of an exact date but he's pretty recent, new enough to be in like the top few characters in the game.

If they're doing Super 17 so early among GT's cast, I can see Rildo.

he looks like a menacing deranged psychopath, and most of the other villain looks like generic strong guys that are evil

>>10957514
Unless I'm blanking I don't think they actually physically went to the other universes besides the neutral ground for the Champa arc and meeting Gowasu. On top of that they left out 4 universes from the ToP that we know nothing about. We actually never got to go to Sadala either and probably won't at this point. We got a small taste of several universes that participated which actually leaves room for your own imagination for what else is could be out there.

No he isn't, he isn't popular at all. I haven't seen anyone ask for Majuub in video games, for a figuarts, for anything. Uub actually comes up now and then, but never Majuub.

I think that may be what I meant in the first place. I checked a few dates, and 4th form didn't line up, Turles did, but I was off on what I was thinking. I know there's more than Turles and Super 17.

It often feels like he's drawing for an anime rather than a manga with the reaction shots, zoom ins and wasted panels. He should go watch some old Chinese martial arts movies that Toryiama loved rather than look to modern anime/manga.

false, that was toriyama. Like him or not he was chosen for the fact he could replicate toriyama's artstyle well enough. Going to be interesting seeing Toyotaro create his first arc completely since before Toriyama's death he was still creating the main story arcs that toyo and the anime adapted from

Beast is probably the most disappointing figure of 2023 in SH DB line
his articulation is pretty shit caused by the rubber clothes causing him to not being able to cross arms and the face expressions arent that good, especially the grinning face making him look like he is taking a big shit
probably people bought him by the hype of his new form but looking at him now you can see how he sucks in everything
>>
>>10959462
I think the head is really well done, and I like the faces. The body is shit though so he just gets put on the other Gohan body. I might do some experimental cuts to see if I can get more range in the shoulders.
>>
>>10959462
it sucks how his articulation is worse than the base version
and it sucks how they did the same rubber chest meme for teen gohan now
i can only hope they don't carry it forward please god
>>
Is demoniacal fit dead or something? Haven't seen news from them lately.
>>
>>10959462
When a figure is sort of the first attempt at a new gimmick (rubber clothes in this case) things usually go wrong. I agree with the other person the head and faces look nice, it would've been fine on the regular Gohan body which was a good direction over all. Hopefully they don't continue in this direction after teen Gohan and hopefully they never try anything with rubber arms.

i think we can all agree that this movie was mid and none of the figure we got are outstanding
>>
>>10960297
I haven't actually watched it but it couldn't at least be as middling as some of the DBZ era movies could be.
>>
>>10960297
I think it was better than mid but not quite as good as Super Broly. Its weird the best figure was a $35 Gohan. Missed opportunity to do an updated base Goku and Vegeta in the same manner as Gohan. SH Goku, Vegeta, Pan and Broly didn't really need figures.
>>
>>10960329
we kind of did since there was no real other option for a base vegeta head at that point

>>10960341
I think in a world where SH Vegeta didn't exist they would've filled the $35 Vegeta slot that year with the proud prince one.
>>
>>10960644
Piccolo should be moved up a tier. Most people agree that he's maybe the best standard Piccolo we've gotten so far. Goku and Vegeta should be moved down at least one, probably two tiers. That Vegeta is probably the worst Vegeta we've gotten from this line, aside from maybe the shitty 1.0 Scouter Vegeta who literally just fell apart. The Goku is just a worse SROE Goku, with uglier faces and weirder paint.

I never bothered with the Gammas, Broly, or Pan.
>>
>>10960644
If you grind out Broly's wrist guards so his hands can move he works a lot better. You shouldn't have to of course, but you do otherwise his hands fall out at the slightest angle. Just that one thing salvaged him for me. He's still too big but I'll just pretend he's using the Oozaru.
>>
>>10960644
Orange Piccolo absolutely isn't outstanding.
Gohan (Base Form) is, though.
>>
>>10960673
>Goku and Vegeta should be moved down at least one, probably two tiers.
Goku and Vegeta aren't great, but I still don't dislike them as much as Pan or Broly. Additionally, they were only 35 dollar budget releases...so I am more inclined to let some bullshit pass with them vs. shit articulation or design choices on a 70 dollar P-Bandai figure.
>>
I only have Gamma 2, base Piccolo and Orange, all are pretty good

Wish Gamma 2 came with another head, a blue blast effect for his gun or a hologram explosion (would have been one of the few instances where a shitty cutout accessory would have been fine) instead of the gohan accessory. Wish regular Piccolo came with a stern face too but the smiling one works. Pan should have just been an accessory that came with Piccolo like Gohan with Raditz. The rubber on Orange is annoying but aside from that he's great, I love his faces

Last I saw Tamashii had a post about the preorder being delayed and they would post again with more information later and I haven't seen or heard anything from them yet.

So at that point even if third party retailers say they're sold out I wouldn't trust it. I'm also being optimistic, I'm Canadian and can't get PBandais any other way so I hope NinNin will pull through!!

>>10961780
Part of me wants to be a smartass and say great ape baby isnt popular enough for such a big release but they made thay gimmicky porunga pile of shit. Gt seems way more popular than I thought it was too based off the reception of the announcements so far on social media. How well did great ape vegeta sell? Did he take ages to sell? Because he's way more iconic and popular of a character
>>
>>10961788
The gimmick was dumb, but it at least made sense to make Porunga, since they were going ham on Namek figures. And Great Ape Vegeta took ages to sell out, but when he came out, $180 was absurd for a figure in this line. Now we've had several figures at, near, or above that point. He also pretty much doubled on the aftermarket.
>>
>>10961857
>Next EE is Apegeta at markup
>Reissue old Apegeta some months later at old price
Justlikeshenron
>>
>>10961860
I suppose that's possible, but I question whether they'd make an EE that was that expensive. The original Shenron was only $100, and the EE was, what, $130? They'd make Great Ape $200+ at this point. Aside from Shenron, most of the EEs are in the $50-$70 range. I guess there's been a few with effect parts that have been a little more, but...

Wait, I'm getting conflicting information, has Super 17 been officially up for preorder yet?
>>
>>10962222
Yes. It went up on the day it was announced, both at p-bandai and middle men sites, but then bandai took down there sites shortly after for maintenance so a lot of middle men also closed their orders.

As soon as the maintenance is complete they'll put it back up. No idea why the site was take down yet, obvious answer is a security threat/vulnerability was detected.
>>
>>10962261
Oh! Okay thank you! I knew the site was down at one point but I didn't know the preorder had gone up. From my understanding from tamashii's instagram post I thought the site went down before preorders went up
