Don't worry about it man, this guy's gonna be a regular release so you don't even have to preorder if you don't want. They'll be plenty to go around. If you do wanna preorder don't do it through eBay, wait until it's officially put up. Like rabbit said, they're targeting people that aren't in the know like us DBF folks

Well seeing as it's extremely limited in quantity AND it's only one per person, I'd venture to guess that it's gonna go for $80-90 starting on eBay. A month from now it's probably gonna be over $100 easy, unless the scalpers are stupid and don't jack up the price. For our sakes, I hope that's the case. I'm gonna be watching eBay this weekend like a hawk. Hopefully the outcome of your guess on the SDCC isn't like this one Yeah I underestimated the scalpers and thought they'd be stupid but they're bastards. The SDCC won't be nearly as bad. I've been collecting for a while now and the SDCC's are never that much more expensive after the con. The MexiGoku was the first time Tamashii's ever done something like that so it was tough to predict

For real, nothing advanced about those guys at all. Glossy lightly shaded hair and inaccurate boot tips for Vegeta smh. I hate people that say "smh" but..... Complaining because we're finally getting a re-release of Super Saiyan Vegeta (that actually looks better).....? Smh. I already have the original Vegeta and Trunks and they look much better than these. I mean I'm happy that people that don't have em can get em but they leave a lot to be desired especially for supposedly "advanced" repaints. I'm not complaining for the sake of complaining but they do look much cheaper than the originals (less shading, duller paint job for Vegeta). This Goku though hits it out the park. It's damn near perfect.

Oh yeah, we don't have to worry about getting an SDCC version. They'll produce just as many as they've produced every year before this, perhaps even more since he's really popular. It's only the MexiGoku with that special box that's limited to 500. Are these SDCC versions available to buy online? Yeah the usual retailers always get some stock. BBTS, Amazon (individual sellers), eBay, maybe some more but I never order from anywhere except eBay or Bluefin since they're usually the cheapest.

Imo, Gohan looks like a vampire with freckles. He has a cape too so it makes sense Uh.... Wut? Cuz he's very pale like a vampire

that`s what a guy told me :/ trying to justify the 500 units of the go kanji version.... Sounds weird to me, coz i know 2 guys here in Mexico who owns 8 and 12 Sdcc SSJ son goku each one Actually they did say there was only 500 for Mexico's exclusively boxed Goku, but I'm pretty sure they release much more for the SDCC's. Oh yeah, we don't have to worry about getting an SDCC version. They'll produce just as many as they've produced every year before this, perhaps even more since he's really popular.

Gohan may not be the best first figure. He's pale as snow and his overall paint job leaves a lot to be desired for, plus he's a small figure. Out of all the manga releases, I'd say SSJ Goku is the best. Good size, nice sculpt, and decent paint job. Piccolo could work too since he comes with a good amount of accessories but you can't go wrong with Goku. My first was Frieza and I was astounded at the detail and articulation but that was the first figure I've owned since the Jakks/Irwin days so the bar was set pretty low Doesn't SSJ goku go for like 40 or 50 bucks on amazon now? Anyways just thought gohan would be good because he is in stock and very cheap, he won't go up in price for a long time. Imo, Gohan looks like a vampire with freckles. He has a cape too so it makes sense

The cheapest figure in the market now is SSJ manga Gohan. DBZFanGirl2260 I suggest you get him first and see how he is, and then after that get Vegito (Assuming he is the cheapest next to Gohan, if not get someone else after Gohan). Gohan goes for like 28 or 30 bucks in BBTS right now. Gohan may not be the best first figure. He's pale as snow and his overall paint job leaves a lot to be desired for, plus he's a small figure.

Hey guys, I am new to the S.H. Figuarts line. Never had an interest in getting them until now, and was curious what are the best DBZ ones to buy? I am already planning to preorder the Fukkatsu No "F" figures, Super Warrior Awakening Ver. SS Goku, and color advanced SS Vegeta...not sure if I am going to get Trunks I'll probably wait till some official images come out for him. If I were you, I'd try getting the most expensive ones first and working you're way down from there. Reason being, that the expensive ones are only gonna get more expensive. The cheaper ones are still in the process of inflating and that takes some time. Luckily Trunks and Vegeta and essentially being re-released as these repaints so you have time to get those along with that gorgeous battle damage Goku. I would recommend like Rabbit said to get Frieza, Cell, and Broly first. It all depends on your collection goals really when it comes to figuring out what figures you should get first. Great thing about this line is that when you get a figure, you can always sell it back for more than you paid for if you decide you don't want it.

i honestly wouldnt be surprised if super saiyan vegeta was the next EX. Tamashii loves to make android/cell saga charters first. Look at shf, zeros, and even the buddies. Im glad EX has ssj3 goku and Buu. I hope they stay in the buu saga some more, its my favourite I'd love to see them do Majin Vegeta and SSJ3 Gotenks. I loved the Buu Saga as well. It was fun while maintaining serious moments when it needed to.

I'm calling them SDCC SSJ Goku and SDCC Namek Goku. Easy enough to differentiate the two.

I hope! It's not even a big thing but it does make a difference (at least to me). They could just paint Krillin the same color as SDCC Namek Goku and unpaint his eyes. That's all it would take and that actually would be an advancementDefinitely more of an advancement than the Vegeta and Trunks repaints we're getting. For real, nothing advanced about those guys at all. Glossy lightly shaded hair and inaccurate boot tips for Vegeta smh.

Yup, he is. It's a historic moment for this line. Hopefully from now on most if not all of their figures will do the same.

For a second I thought you ment the 2011 super saiyan sdcc goku... Phew I thought the exact same thing until I remembered there's two now Soooo Jaco before Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Whis, Roshi, Kami, King Kai, basically all female characters, any other form of a previous villain, or any previously shown villains? Hecksydoodle I'd rather have SSJ4 Vegeta, Omega Shenron, and/or Super 17 than him Jaco does NOT deserve to be released as part of the DBZ line. He's a spin off character at best and represents Toriyama's blunders and retcons to the original story. He can burn in HFIL.

I don't care if it doesn't look good, it's not accurate! Damn you Tamashii, damn youuuuu With the whole Advance Color stuff now possibly we can get a Krillan with no white eyes. I hope! It's not even a big thing but it does make a difference (at least to me). They could just paint Krillin the same color as SDCC Namek Goku and unpaint his eyes. That's all it would take and that actually would be an advancement
