I’m not a huge fan of either version of SS3 Goku we’ve gotten so far. I’d want one you can display with the hair down more instead of lifted in the back. I’ll definitely be getting that new version of SS Goku though. Much better face and hair mold than past SS Goku’s, and he’s only like $35.

there's one day left on Cooler and I still haven't decided whether or not to make the jump on himhjukl; I have m Dragon Stars one and I genuinely like it and even though this one obviously looks nicer I don't know if its $75 nicer (I got my dragon stars for like $15) but then he looks so cool and articulate! And with how the Ginyus have shot up he's only going to increase morehjkl; I'm rambling out loud sorry lol. : p Where can you still get him for $75?

I’m more so looking forward to the Namek Vegeta we’ll need to get to pair up against Zarbon, Dodoria, and Ginyu force. I’ll skip all those and just buy him though I think. He’d go great with just regular Frieza for their fight. Would be a better release than the base Cell saga Vegeta prototype they showed.

Got an email from p-bandai saying that my Chibi Gohan should be arriving soon, and they’re offering me a free shipping coupon good until May 5th. Don’t know what to use it on tho I interpreted that email as Bandai saying you'll receive the coupon no later than May 5th, not that it expires on May 5th. That’s how I interpreted it also

Now that there’s a Frieza pod I hope we get a space pod soon. If they make it just big enough to fit Vegeta and Goku that would be cool. Funny that they made the dinner scene for Goku before doing a space pod. They could make one that comes with a toddler Gohan to pair with Raditz!

The new ordering processes Bandai has implemented in the U.S. has and will change the market and after market for Tamashii Nations products. P-Bandai U.S. offers open/close ordering for Premium Bandai products. Meaning you only have a limited window to order the product and it's made-to-order. Those who don't order the product within that time period will be going to those who specifically bought extra to sell in the after market. Who also happen to control the price along with those who are willing to pay that amount. Gone are the days where they would ship X amount of product to Bluefin, who would then sell to retailers, and then to the end consumer. Bluefin would also keep X amount to sell at conventions. So the Premium Bandai product would be easily available throughout the country for quite some time. Bandai Namco Collectibles opens ordering for retailers but, as I've heard from certain retailers, they're no longer offering bulk discount. Meaning retailers will order fewer units and will more than likely not offer any discount. Not a good trend. The cost of some of these figures now even at their retail is getting absurd (especially when factoring in shipping from Premium Bandai). I remember buying the first version of Piccolo and teen Gohan for around $30 each when they came out for re-issue in 2015. I find myself passing on some of these newer releases of Namek and saiyan saga characters mostly based on price. I think even full power DBS Broly was under $75 with shipping included when he first dropped a couple years ago. If he came out now on p-Bandai he’d probably go for no less than 90.

We need a battle damaged Vegeta regardless of what version of him it is. I would go with the SS Blue evolution then Majin or Namek.

Thinking of what would be the best re-paint options now. Nappa and Majin Vegeta come to mind for me. Then again a 2.0 battle damaged Majin Vegeta would sell well as opposed to a simple repaint with lighter hair and a darker blue outfit. There aren’t many other good repaint options I can think of, maybe Bardock some day for the modem version?

Cooler looks F***ing incredible. Honestly I agree, it's the best mold Tamashii has made and, with their releases over the past year, that's saying a lot. I voted for Kefla. I also want Kid Buu and Videl, but I personally want more Super love! Also voted for Kefla, I think kid Buu and Videl are inevitable.

Somewhat regret buying the DragonStars cooler now. Then again I got him for under $12 on cyber Monday and he looks pretty good for that price! Some paint work and he’ll do just fine instead of paying for this figuarts.

As much as I like Bulma, I'm surprised they're probably going with her to complete the Namek line. She'll have had 3 figures in a short space of time compared to Krillin's one over nearly a decade. Nothing against Namek Bulma either but I think they should have a more modern looking Bulma to pair with the late Z or Super figures. For Namek saga I’m sure Zarbon, Dodoria, Nail, or even Vegeta would have been better options.

Yet another "Premium" BANDAI Exclusive. p-bandai.com/us/item/N2562307001001You know, if we spoke with our wallets earlier on when it came to these poorly-handled, overpriced, and frankly shoehorned exclusives, MAYBE this wouldn't be a recurring issue. Or at the bare minimum, BANDAI would start listening to the negative feedback from their consumers. Like That Will Ever Happen.! Unfortunately the Hit looks a lot like the Dragonstars version (just with more accurate colors on his head), probably not worth whatever they are going to charge as a premium exclusive!

So I just got another email from P Bandai regarding Kid Gohan as well as for the people who ordered the SDCC second waves. Apparently some of their distribution trucks got hit by a major storm and they lost inventory plus our investigating. They said several weeks till a month so looks like we won’t be getting any of those until prob February. That’s freaking horse hat Got the same email for my Omen Goku

I wonder why they used such glossy paint on the new piccolo’s pants. It stands out from the rest of the figure. Some shading would have been nice instead.

Finally the Nappa I’ve been waiting for and he looks great!
We need a legitimate SS2 Vegeta sculpt still since Majin Vegeta was so poorly executed.
I wonder if Chiaotzu will come with the new Tien...
