Most of the comments here show that you guys don't collect all the characters from the DB classic line. I know it's "only" a few people, but still, that shows to me that this line is not a good seller. When a DBS or GT character is revealed, i see much more hype, and Bandai sees that too. Beyond that, the reason why we have Jackie Chun, Chichi and Lunch, but not Yamcha/Puerh and Oolong is still a mystery. My idea is that Bandai had in mind to keep some big characters for later and trying then to make us bying some minors characters before. I guess they fear that if we have immediatly all the big charachters, we could drop the line after that and having no interest for minors. I don't like that strategy because what happened is, i guess, that those minors were bad sellers, and Bandai eventually decided to drop the line. That’s definitely the strategy they went for. It’s what they've done for a lot of their lines. It’s the reason we still haven’t got Kid Buu. It’s a bit annoying, but it’s something they have to do. If they gave us everything in one go, we’d all have stopped collecting years ago. I think we’ll see more DB figures at some stage. There’s still some I would definitely buy and that I think would sell well. We definitely need at least Goku and Chi Chi from the 23rd world tournament and obviously Yamcha’s a glaring omission. I don't think we'd have all stopped. Many people who collect figures buy absolutely everything that is released, theses wouldn't have dropped the line even after all the big names being released. I'm not one of those guys, but even with the main cast complete, i still would buy some minor characters after them.

This new Kid Goku means to me that the DB line is definitely not a good seller for Bandai. After 2 years, all we got left is Goku, the hero. Wich is interesting BTW, with angry faces that the regular one didn't have. But why only for the US ? Regarding the DB classic era is not that much popular there (that's what i read several times), at least not as much as GT and Super, i'm really wondering what's the strategy here. People have been debating this for years. Nobody wants to accept that the classic DB line is on its last legs. They’ll squeeze out a couple more figures & that’s it. Any General Blue or Android #8 fans out there are out of luck. I don't want to accept it neither, but i guess we have no choice, it really looks like it's over. For me, Bandit Yamcha with Puerh is THE huge missing figure from that line, he's one of the main characters of that era. To me he's the most legit from all the unmade characters. Oolong should definitely have been done as well.

What i mean is that many characters present in surveys never see the daylight. The DB classic is the best example of what i say. the survey has tons of characters but the year only 12 months, I'm not getting pessimistic haha I have been collecting the line since almost the beginning, I remember how loud I was on getting Bulma and how most of the fandom said it was impossible and now we have three + her motorbike + an awesome mecha-ish transformer figure-rise for her, so be patient or be pessimistic, either way we dont know what will happen til it happens. What you call pessimistic i call it realisitc.

Almost every single character has been in the surveys, and it's a good sign of what they want to release. And like you guys said big names will never be in the survey or at least it's very rare. What i mean is that many characters present in surveys never see the daylight. The DB classic is the best example of what i say.

As long as Bandai doesn't show the results of these so called surveys i won't believe in them. It's been years we basicly see the same characters in the list.

hope everybody can get at least one proto to be hyped for! Nice from you, but for me, itt's pretty sure it won't happen lol Bandai made a huge upset yesterday with no Puerh added to Yamcha. The DB classic line being dead, i don't see what's left that could hype me. Some characters like Kid Buu could be cool, but i've been disapointed by Bandai so many times that i'm wondering right now if i'll still buy figures from that line.

No Puerh included, what a huge upset ! Easy pass, the Saiyan saga is way not perfect, but this one doesn't seem with his 3 poor faces to bring something better.

Since Frieza 2nd form, Cold is an easy made, Bandai won't skip him.

enough for most of these to me, because there are plenty of brand new figures that still need to be made instead of 3.0 stuff.
There’s defiantly more important 3.0’s to be made like OG Broly, Perfect Cell and Golden Freiza. With that being said you know the 3.0 Goku and Vegeta’s are on the way. Trunks and Gohan have already begun that treatment. I think Tamashi is spacing out the releases really well. We’re getting a little bit of everything. Perfect Cell is a mess, i agree, but new figures should always get the priority instead of revivals.
What 3.0 Goku and Vegeta are you talking about ? Anyway, that's a matter of fact for Goku, we have way to many of him.
I can't disagree more with the spacing thing, for the last 12 months we basicly had nothing but DBS movie figures, and it's been two years the last DB classic figure, Lunch, has been released !

Battle Damaged Nappa will absolutely be made. Once they revisit the Saiyan Saga he will be a top priority. A few other Saiyan Saga figures we could see would be. Nappa (Battle Damaged) Vegeta 3.0 Vegeta 3.0 (Battle Damaged) Krillin Kid Gohan (Training Gi) Goku (Roshi Symbol with Power Pole and Nimbus) Goku (King Kai Symbol) Goku (Battle Damaged) Goku (No Weighted Clothing) Chi Chi (With Kid Gohan) Yes for everyone who thinks we don’t need anymore Goku’s… We have only just begun lol enough for most of these to me, because there are plenty of brand new figures that still need to be made instead of 3.0 stuff.

happy for you guys that wanted him but I'm going back to the waiting room again haha I guess next stop is SDCC? I taught you were an all time optimistic. Let's hope we'll have at least one more reveal before that event

So they would stick with Namek even after 2 Dragon Ball waves ... But think it's Namek related, because in that case, they would'nt have made such a tease for a saga we are already really busy with since the last 3 years. It has to be something more surprising. My guess goes on Shin or Final form Buu, but definitely not eh Cell saga seeing it's not grass from earth on that picture.

These Trunks and Vegeta revival stuff don't bother me as far as they don't fill a month by themselves instead of a real nwe figure. And that's the case: they come this month along side with Frieza 2 wich is the new figure. That other Trunks is for september, wich already has Piccolo DBS is my recollections are correct.
