Not a fan of how glossy 19 is. Hopefully the QC is decent.

Wasn't expecting Kiwi so soon. Death face is probably one of the wildest cards Tamashii's pulled so far, even went as far as to give his tongue a different finish. Hopefully 100% Freeza and a possible updated Cell are given the same treatment.
With this, another character from RB2's roster can be added lol.

Everyone revealed looks nice aside from the kind of weird proportions on Namek Vegeta. I get they're going for the late 80's/early 90's art style, but he looks off with the wide torso.
Trunks and Pan are pretty close to the anime. I think Trunks's eyes could be a bit bigger, but otherwise they're fine. Goku is kind of big from the pictures shown, so that's a drag.
God Goku makes me question what the point of the exclusive was. Why make people sit around on a site that was prone to crashing for an exclusive variant of a figure that would get a standard release two years after the fact? Feels like a slap in the face tbh, but he does look good. Hopefully he's a budget release this time.
I'll just say that 3.0 Namek Goku will blow on the QC front. Looking at him in the pictures we have at NYCC, he's taken a similar downgrade to Trunks for the in-hand product. Glossy plastic all over barring the cheap, overfinished hair and the yelling face somehow looks even worse than the promotional material. I hope I'm wrong, but he reeks of QC plague, and he'll probably wind up being the seventh highly-anticipated release (counting other lines like One Piece, Berserk, Bleach, etc.) to completely drop the ball on QC.

Hopefully this isn't another fake. Suspicious it's the same image circulating around imo. http://instagram.com/p/CySNXwNtsCM If it's legit, then that's pretty cool. Wasn't expecting more GT so soon, much less anyone who wasn't in FighterZ. That said, Pan and Trunks are still a part of the main cast, so I'm still kind of skeptical on figures like Super 17 happening anytime soon.

Well, after four or so years I've finally stopped being lazy and done it. Found the image of Goku from the back of the box off of an OfferUp listing where the lighting wasn't too shabby. I (crudely) masked it out and re-saturated the colors in GIMP, then upscaled the image to a decent resolution. Kind of destroyed some of the smaller details in the image, but since Tamashii will likely never release a high quality version of it, I figured I might as well post my edited version. As well as a kind of "meh" recreation I made of the original image. Pretty obvious it's my first time using Resynthesizer in GIMP lol.

SOme guy on reddit tried switching torsos and snapped off, lol so guess thats a no...but not gonna lie, it looks cooler
The Second Form Freeza almost looks like him mid-transformation lol. Kind of annoying they didn't just retool the Second Form body into Third Form Freeza, since he's entirely out of scale here (ignoring the scale in DBS Broly.)

Turns out third form Frieza's head is compatible with the second form body. Damn it, now I need two Second Form Freezas...

There’s a new survey. Loads and loads of options this time. I voted for Orange High Gohan and Videl, world tournament Videl and GT Trunks and Pan. Also got to hope they also share my vision for Oshi No Ko figuarts. questant.jp/q/I1ICQ8B2 I would like everything listed off in this survey under Dragon Ball lol. Highlights for me personally would be Kid Buu, Baby 2, and Videl for new characters. For the alternate costumes, probably Yadrat or EoZ Goku and the Bojack variants. Semi-related, but here are some alternate costumes for existing characters that I think would make for interesting figures (that will probably never happen, but a man can dream lol.)

I don't remember the colours on Trunks being that different from the anime? They actually were somewhat different in the manga to the anime. It's a shame we never got it as an EE or anything of that nature...

Burger King Krillin is a phrase I never expected to hear in my entire life 😂 but great catch! Yeah, Burger King did a few promos for DBZ back when it first came to the U.S. (somewhere in the late 90s - early 2000s.)
Here's a picture of that set in particular:

Alright, one character closer to completing the RB2 Roster! Cool figure, kind of pricey for Freeza, but the additional body makes up for it. This may be hinting at a new Fourth/Final Form Freeza in the future, but it's been a little more than a year since we last got him, and Tamashii seems to be moving away from Namek as of now. Hopefully we get the 100% Power Freeza to pair up with LSS Goku. Still hoping that LSS Goku doesn't suffer the same fate as Trunks, but until we have him in hand,

Very cool release! Hope to see more GT figures, but I'm not expecting much outside of Baby and Omega Shenron anytime soon. Super Saiyan 3 will probably be its own figure if it gets a release. They'll probably need to engineer the neck peg to be different like the adult SS3 Goku. Although, why do I feel like the version with a tail is gonna be an event exclusive. 🙄 *Sighs in British* 😂 Oh god. Now that you mention it. What if SSJ3 or SSJ Kid Goku is the event exclusive... What are you doing? Don't give them ideas! On a serious note, yeah that's one of two possibilities with this release. The other being what everyone else is saying and his SS/SS3 parts being lumped in with other figures. Kind of wish Tamashii would go back to giving us figures with loads of accessories like what they used to do. All this is assuming they bother to continue with GT in the first place, since it's largely considered the "black sheep" of Dragon Ball (even if it's an objectively better sequel than Super, but to each their own) and Tamashii has only shown very mainstream GT characters as of now (SS4 Goku, Vegeta, and now Kid Goku.) I still think they're in it for the FighterZ characters and no one else since that's where the money is.

This GT Kid Goku is a hugeee announcement for a few reasons Number 1- To all GT fans, I never fully took the SS4 releases as they were gonna make a GT line. It could have solely been one offs. With Kid Goku the true GT line starts now. We should be seeing Trunks and Pan following soon with villains afterwards. Number 2- The scale, This new Kid Goku is noticeably better proportioned as well as shorter. This is what we have been asking for and if your a fan of other smaller characters like Kid Trunks and Goten we now have the blueprint. 2024 is gonna be crazy for this line! I really love how GT Kid Goku looks. I think he comes with great faces and accessories. I’m mostly happy about his size. Well maybe, but you missed one key thing here.
GT Goku is part of the FighterZ roster, no doubt a very popular Dragon Ball game, and something Tamashii showed they had plans to complete two years ago at the Battle Hour event. The only reason why they did Goku and Vegeta is because... they're Goku and Vegeta. I personally am skeptical we're going any further than Baby and possibly Omega Shenron as far as antagonists go. I'd love for them to prove me wrong here but knowing them, I doubt it.
Still a solid release either way you slice it, just unlikely we'll see much more in the way of GT going forward if this is the approach they're taking.
