www.badasscollectibles.com/Dragonball_Z__Figuarts_Zero_EX_Super_Saiyan_3_Son_Goku_from_Bandai/p2539005_13459596.aspxI just ordered mine from these guys. They're an actual store in Pennsylvania so I trust them and they use PayPal as well for extra security. First time ordering but it's the cheapest price I could find so I took a chance. Free shipping too (at least for U.S., but they do ship worldwide). They also have a physical address and phone number too which is rare for an online store. Edit: According to their site: "BadAss Collectibles ships directly to several international countries. All international customers must have a verified billing address for us to process your order. International customers will receive a discount of 20% off your required shipping cost. The discount will be automatically deducted at the checkout for in-stock items. If you have any questions, please contact us." Prodigy1367 - their comic store is less than an hour from me. I'm probably going to go check out the physical store this week sometime. I'll let you know how the actual shop is! Nice, definitely let us know! I actually just realized now that it's a little over an hour from where I live too! I might actually swing by there too one day

What confuses me is Advanced SS Vegeta's boot toes. Why are they like that? Its painted yeah, but theres no lines on the toes. Just looks plain lazy like Vegetto's kamehameha hands. They could of reused Vegettos toe or foot and alter it to fit onto their Advanced SS Vegeta. What wiizard said. It's stricly a repaint, nothing more nothing less. It'll be exactly like the original release simply with different colors. I'd hope for them to include things but they won't.

Whether they're selling 500 or 5,000, they're both limited quantities. Don't look into that wording too much, you're overthinking it. They'll be plenty of figures to go around, don't worry bro Yeah plenty to go around, but for how much are they going to go around for? It'll be roughly $65-$80 at first. As long as you don't wait around for a few weeks/months, everyone should be able to get one for under $100 easily. You guys are worrying for nothing! Plus, Bluefin always has a dedicated stock for their website and last year Vegeta went for $65.

The line doesn't seem to be stopping either. The official questionnaire of the statue asks to vote for the 3 characters you want made in ZERO EX out of: -Super saiyan vegeta -Super saiyan trunks -Mystic gohan -Super saiyan 3 gotenks -Super saiyan vegito -Piccolo -Frieza -Perfect cell -Super Buu I can only imagine that if all these characters get made, this is bound to be the most iconic DBZ statue line. Stop please! I already have many figures of one size!!! Technically your Misa Misa statue is 1/6 so... DO IT!

They've never had "limited quantities" for SDCC before, so why would they start now? Piccolo was on the Bluefin website for $65 for like a year after SDCC (maybe not a full year, but it was a very long time). And last year you were able to get Vegeta for about $60-$70 even after 2 or 3 weeks. Complete your Dragon Ball collection with this special variant of Goku as he lands on the Planet Namek! The S.H. Figuarts Goku Frieza Saga version features his iconic outfit with the “Go” GI symbols and original tied belt, as well as a new facial expression not found in the original release! This SDCC exclusive will be available in limited quantities. Figure includes 5 interchangeable faces, multiple hand for different poses, and charging Kamehameha effect part. This is why I'm saying this Whether they're selling 500 or 5,000, they're both limited quantities. Don't look into that wording too much, you're overthinking it. They'll be plenty of figures to go around, don't worry bro

Awesome figure the EX Goku SS3. I love it, he has a size I don't collect, Medicos Goku was the exception because all the mysticism around it. And I don't have all the space of the world. But damnit this one is tentative. Same. He'll be my first official 1/6. The MSP are practically 1/6 but they're still not considered scaled figures. I've been looking for a decent 1/8 DBZ line for awhile now but none exists so I had to go a couple scales up to get my DBZ statue fix. I only got the Medicos as an exception to my 1/8 rule since he's considered the most perfectly detailed DBZ statue in existence (no exaggeration at all, he's right out of the anime). Now I have to collect the rest of the line

Thanks man! I think it's currently on sale since the original price was $94. If they deliver good service, I'll definitely be checking them out during my figure searches from now on!

Well at least we know now but the prices still seem to be solid on eBay and I see 5 preorders of the sdcc sold out at $150... I'm wondering how many will actually be available at sdcc because it says this will only be available in limited quantities, it could be 500 or 1000 over here too which means it could be equally as expensive Don't worry that you got MexiGoku. I think he may dip in price at first but in the long run he'll still be worth a lot, probably more than what you paid for. Fact is, we had plenty of hints that SDCC was gonna be this exact figure. At least you got a nice box to show for it (no disrespect meant by that btw)

That Krillin is amazing man, the way he should've been done in the first place! Those aura effects are really sick too, nice customs bro!

I can't hold myself anymore. I NEED TO BUY IT! someone can give me a good place to buy it from? (that'll include shipping to Israel) www.badasscollectibles.com/Dragonball_Z__Figuarts_Zero_EX_Super_Saiyan_3_Son_Goku_from_Bandai/p2539005_13459596.aspxI just ordered mine from these guys.

Speaking of Toriyama forgetting the later forms, I do wish we get a ssj2 figuarts goku down the line I hope for a two pack of BD SS2 Majin Vegeta and BD SS2 Goku. that way we could put his head on normal/SS Goku's body and have it non-BD, but at the same time they won't re-use Goku's body AGAIN. and because I don't think him alone will sell very well (yes, it's Goku, but SS2 is not his most popular form) putting him with BD Majin Vegeta will be a guaranteed seller. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I'd love to see those and also the clean looks for them both. They could even make one of the versions web exclusive and the other a standard, I wouldn't mind that at all. As for Goku's new jacked body, I could see them re-using it for a number of things. They could probably use it for Kaioken Goku and Super Vegeta/Trunks. I'd prefer a bit larger, but it's better than using the current Goku mold. I'd like to see different battle damaged lower body for whatever figures they plan to do next though. THAT can't be reused since each character has a different lower battle damage look. The torso's can be the same but the pants are always ripped in different ways.

I really hope we don't. I think the longer Dragonball goes on, the less likely it is, too. Considering Toriyama forgets the differences and the later forms. It's just too much for him. That's why he said there won't be ss2 and ss3 anymore. Trying to simplify it for himself. If he didn't cut it down, that'd be 7 forms for him to keep track of. I feel kinda bad for the guy, especially if he has health issues that are causing his memory to be so bad. I hereby volunteer to be Toriyama's right hand man. I'll google things for him when he forgets and I'll keep him in check so he doesn't go full Lucas on us. I got you guys

It boggles my mind. He never had white eyes and it costs MORE to paint them then not If I'm not wrong they did show in the past a prototype of Krillin (before he was announced) without the white eyes, maybe they just thought it doesn't look good like that and decided to paint it white. I don't care if it doesn't look good, it's not accurate! Damn you Tamashii, damn youuuuu
