That TMNT sketch variant actually looks really nice, and if a SHF figure was painted like that I would probably buy it. When I was imagining a b&w SDCC release, I was thinking it would look like the UFS repaints, which are ugly as hell.
I also didn't notice that Kaioken Goku was on the poll, and now I'm thinking that one has the best chance of being the next SDCC exclusive. It would be a repaint that would really stand out from the original, and it would fit in well with Saiyan Saga Vegeta. Plus Toonami started airing DBZ Kai not too long ago and it's almost to the Saiyan invasion, and by the time SDCC comes around, they will probably be showing the end of the Saiyan Saga, which would leave Kaioken Goku fresh in people's minds, creating a larger demand for that repaint.
-For those of you that are craving a SS3 Goku repaint, I think there will be a much better chance once Tamashii starts pumping out Buu arc figures or when the Buu arc of DBZ Kai begins airing outside of Japan. -Manga repaint Trunks still has a chance imo because there have been many successful releases of Trunks with the Manga colors recently such as the Master Stars Piece and Scultures. -SS Vegeta is just a pipe dream at this point. If they were going to do a repaint of him, they would've done it last year. The chances of Tamashii releasing the same character two years in a row seems slim to none, plus if they only painted his boot tips it would not be enough of a repaint to call it an exclusive. -Perfect Cell & SSGod Goku have the absolute lowest chance imo. Perfect Cell is technically anime colored. Although the green is not quite as bright as it should be, his skin color beneath the shell exterior is clearly purple (anime) and not blue (manga). As for SSGod Goku, that would require a complete retooling of the body and face sculpts, along with the repaint, in order to be accurate. Since Tamashii takes pride in being as closely accurate to the series as possible, it is highly unlikely that they would just repaint base Goku with red hair/eyebrows. So unless they decide to start retooling exclusives, I wouldn't hold my breath for a SSGod Goku at SDCC.
I'm still willing to bet that there will be a B&W SDCC exclusive, but perhaps not this year since Kaioken Goku is on the list.

Idk how to post pictures but even in his normal form he was still kind of "big" compared how he looked earlier in the saga efore cell

I'm not sure how much of a difference there will be in terms of sculpting for his normal form but I'm hoping Tamashii releases a "Super Vegeta" at some point...

If they release any other version of Vegeta from this period, it'll be the same mold as SSJ Vegeta we have now except with boot tips and they'll call it Cell Saga Vegeta. The only way I see them bulking him up is releasing him as a standalone Super Vegeta. I personally would prefer Super Vegeta. I feel that would get them to perhaps make Semi-Perfect Cell and maybe even Super Trunks to compliment him.

I disagree with the manga versions (black and white) it just feels very cheap, black and white and/or some shading, thats it... It sounds kinda cheap and stupid to me, I think manga versions of these characters would be useless. Also, considering the fact that you pay just a little more for SDCC figures, I think it would be horrible to have black and white sdcc's this year. SSJ3 REPAINT GOKU FTW

While it's a unique idea, I too would hate the black and white. I like the anime colors 10000x better than the manga colors. Most of the characters are already available in anime colors now anyways (albeit, some more out of reach than others). I'd prefer Figuarts to stick with Anime colors from now on. I'd love to see any form of Goku with the dark red gi. I'd buy at least 10 of those just for body swaps

So you all would be fine paying $150+ for a SDCC SSJ3 Goku repaint rather than getting a SDCC black & white sketch Goku for perhaps $70ish that your collection could probably do without?

Also, considering the fact that you pay just a little more for SDCC figures, I think it would be horrible to have black and white sdcc's this year. I agree that B&W, gold, translucent, etc. is the cheap/lazy way of making figures into "exclusives", and it's definitely not what I would want. But if you look at past lines (not just for DBZ) you'll see that almost every company has released figures in that style. Irwin, Jakks, Bandai, Megahouse, AB, etc. have all made figures like that and were labeled as some sort of exclusive variant, many of which are now hard to find and/or ridiculously expensive. While I hate all of the DBZ figures I've seen with those paintjobs, that TMNT figure that Bardoon posted is quite unique imo because instead of painting the figure white with regular black shading, they actually painted each individual shadow line, making it look exactly like a pen/paper sketch. Something like that would be cool, but I would prefer it to come way down the road. I think the "2.0" idea for rereleases that was being discussed in the Upcoming Releases thread would be a better way to release a SS3 Goku repaint. That way they could paint him with the darker gi and corrected skin/hair tones, then do a full release, rather than only releasing him at SDCC and causing it's price to skyrocket to the same range as the original release.

I already have the original SSJ3 and I honestly have no problem with it, BUT if they did make a SSJ3 repaint, I'd definitely get it. I'd rather get a figure than not get a figure lol. SDCC is exciting for the unique release and I always look forward to what they're gonna announce. Pretty much anything Tamashii comes out with I'm gonna get. As long as you act quickly, scalper prices aren't that bad within the first few weeks of SDCC. Plus, they always put the extra stock on Bluefin Premium and I have no problem with a small markup.
