When is Super Saiyan 4 Goku supposed to be released? All of these prototypes are old and from a time when Tamashii have admitted to making prototypes purely for cons (not something they actually planned to sell) so at the moment, never.
With that said, he's obviously popular, has been on the last few surveys they've done with the exception of the latest one so it's possible they're workig on a new prototype already but until we actually see something new from Tamashii there's no way to know really.

Pretty weak showing so far tbh. I expected a big hitter and Broly might take that role kinda but Hercule and 21 are random (but welcome) I liked what I’ve seen so far but I wanted Hit, 2.0 Piccolo, Kid Buu, etc. I wanted a homerun display of like 8+ prototypes, lol. Thankfully (IMO) they don't do 8+ prototype displays any more. Back when they did those, most of the prototypes were purely made for the event and we never knew which ones we'd actually get (if any). At least this way we know we'll (probably) get all of these.

SS4 Goku and Gogeta seem possible (and I'd be happy with both), same with Bardock and even Raditz I suppose. I think UI Goku is less likely though, I'm sure we'll get a figure of that eventually but I expect they'll finish off the Black/Trunks arc before moving on to that stuff (though we did get dead Frieza so they might be wanting to move onto ToP stuff already). I also doubt we'll see any new Dragon Ball figures as they seem to be spacing them out a bit so the 5th won't be revealed for at least a few more months IMO. Personally I'm still hoping to see a new (battle-damaged?) Picollo, a Zamasu and/or Merged Zamasu, Hit, U6 Saiyans and some more Buu but I expect we'll only see one or two new prototypes at most so I'll take what I can get

Man Toriyama went nuts with the design overhaul!! Looks great I don’t wanna hear anyone complain anymore about this being a Broly movie anymore either He design is cool and so different he’s basically a whole new character who just happens to be named Broly lol I agree that it looks great but I think there might be at least one other thing taken from the original. If you look at the base-form figure, he has a metal collar/necklace/choker (whatever you want to call it) which seems to be missing like the armour in his Super Saiyan form. Guessing this is going to be the new version of the old headband thing that suppressed his power.
Edit: Also can I just say how badass I think the two SSB figures look too, I know we really don't need more Goku figures right now but I really hope we eventually get one with just the blue shirt on-top like that (don't even care what form of Goku). Always a cool look.

Just a heads up. Pre-orders are up at big bad toy store for a restock of Android 16 for anyone who needs one. Seems a little out of the blue, wonder if they'll get any more restocks. I'm still dying to get Android 17 and Krillin at a decent price, easy enough to hold off on Krillin as I expect he'll get a PCE/2.0 eventually but Android 17 seems much less likely (outside of maybe a DBS version which would still leave my DBZ 16 & 18 a bit lonely).

No armour? That's interesting, wonder if they changed it after the teaser or if he loses it when he goes beserk. Either way I like the new design. Also spotted the SSG Goku sticker

I'm not sure if this is the best place for this but was just wondering if anyone has any experience with (or has even just seen any) custom Tamashii Effect repaints? I finally got my second Goku Black and figured I don't really need the second pink energy blade as I'll be keeping one figure in base-form so I thought about repainting it to use for something else. Obviously being translucent plastic, any repaint won't have the same look but I'm curious if anyone's done something like that before and how it turned out? All I've done so far are simple hair/eye repaints, nothing with effect parts like this.

Random question but does Yamcha ever appear like this in the anime? I can’t find any pictures of him with this specific outfit and hairstyle Saiyan Saga, when he got blown up.

Looking back on that teaser video now, it's totally a rebooted Broly. They've given him saiyan (frieza-style?) armour instead of a bare chest and a pelt-skirt instead of the red cloth one he had but it's still a similar design overall - not to mention the green aura...
Edit: Also wanted to say I've never been a big Broly fan because I hated how badly written his entire character was but thw whole idea of the legendary super saiyan (along with his design) is very cool so I can't wait to see what they do with it this time around.

Correct me if I'm wrong but past experience tells me those surveys usually include characters they're considering but not planning right now - which would rule our Picollo & Tao PaiPai as (imminently) upcoming DB characters as I expected but also Jiren which seems strange to me..
I also notice Gogeta, the SS4s and Zamasu are nowhere to be seen on that list while they were last year (and the year before from memory), so perhaps they are already in the works?

You guys are getting awfully excited about some cardboard I plan to just throw in the bin - assuming I can actually get one of those Vegitos

My bets are Kid Chi-Chi, Yamcha (probably bandit but I wouldn't be shocked to see him in the Roshi gi again like that pic orestes posted from the 22nd budokai) and Tien. As much as I'd love them, I doubt we'll get any of the major villains, at least not until they've given us the seven dragon balls. If we do get an eighth release though, I'd bet that'll be either King Picollo, General Blue or Tao Pai Pai.

Always figured kid Krillin would be one of the 7 but now that it's (more-or-less) confirmed I'm actually really excited to see it. Guessing if they're scaling him with Kid Goku (same body from the looks of it) he'll have a massive head again which is a little annoying but should look fine alongside that Goku at least.

Figure collecting is a menace I swear! I started slow in 2005 with Max Factory Bio Booster Armor Guyver and Kaiyodo Fist of the North Star figures. Then a few years later we had Medicos Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Medicom 1/6 Real Action Heroes DBZ. By 2010, I must have had around 30 figures, but when we moved house I started on 1/8 One Piece Portrait of Pirates. I've collected 80+ of those figures alone over the years and turned one half of our attic into a displayroom!! Since then with S.H.Figuarts/Figuarts ZERO (DB/OP/Kinnikuman, etc.), Figmas, SAS, I must have 200+ figures, and don't get me started on DWC/WCF!! I started with those last year and already have over 100!! The game plan now is to do an attic conversion and put an office/display room and separate bedroom up them so I can display everything properly!! I used to *hate* action-figures, had some statues from game collector's editions over the years but I'd always found articulated figures cheap looking. Then one random day re-watching DBZ for some reason I decided I wanted a Gohan statue but I couldn't find anything. Eventually a friend mentioned a small shop in the city for me to check and they had just got in the old SHF Super Saiyan Gohan. I haven't bought a statue since, instead I'm struggling to find space for all the Figuarts, Figma and even odd Revoltech that I keep buying :/ On another note, do we think that the December release in Japan will be the Goku figure from the new movie? I think that pic was just a promo image (not an actual release) as it seemed identical to the upcoming Goku with the only difference being his power pole. With that said I wouldn't be surprised to get a December or even Jan/Feb release related to the film, either the villain or a Goku/Vegeta figure with the coats/jackets that were shown off the other day, assuming they wear them for more than 10 seconds. I doubt they'd just re-release the July Goku six months later with a red bit of plastic added though.

Has anybody got Frieza from BBTS yet? I just bought a second one in a physical store, so I'm finding it kind of odd I'm still waiting on my pre-ordered one. I'm still waiting on another figure or two before shipping but my Frieza has been sitting in my pile of loot for the last week or so.
Edit: Just checked to make sure, it arrived on the 1st of June apparently (or at least that's when I paid for it).
