Tamashii will find A way i'm sure. Like Megahouse did with there public vote for which "LIMITED" figure would get a re-release.
I expect if demand is high enough over the next couple of years with Super airing, they could do something similar, like they did with the Kinnikuman S.H. Figuarts vote last year.
Make a short list of web exclusive figures and give the top voted 3 a re-release. They could even call them "deluxe" editions and throw in some extra accessories if they really wanted to.

I get the feeling that Tamashii wants to release the Namek stuff and is maybe waiting for the right time to bring up that era. With the sdcc being a Namek goku, maybe this might be the intro to Namek stuff in 2016 after the movie figs come out? Im sure that is wishful thinking, but that would be cool. I feel like tamashii is big on doing things in waves. Well considering we are getting Super Saiyain Awakened Goku as well in November, then I imagine it is likely more Namek stuff is to come...... I've got my fingers crossed for a Freezer final form re-release, but also some other forms. To be honest, all the figures they have dropped have been main characters, with the exception of perhaps Androids 16 and 17.......so I imagine it'll be unlikely we'll see many more "side" characters.

So is there any point in getting excited about WonFes in 4 days time? Usually i'm only looking out for the Megahouse exhibits, but has Tamashii been very active at these in the past? I can see from Winter WonFes they showcased the Sailormoon S.H. Figuarts. Do you think we can expect anything on the Dragonball front?? Confirmation on the Vegeta/Beerus RoF figures or perhaps the Absorption Buu's? Maybe even something entirely new? New Premium color versions (SSJ3 Goku/Cell/Vegeta/Freezer??? God Please!!) or even a Tien/Yamcha/Gotenks? Or do you think we'll have to wait until Tamashii Nation in October?

I wasn't going to get Vegetto initially as the Buu Saga is probably my least favorite part of Dragonball, but seeing the price already increasing I've ordered one for 6k yen from Mandarake. I also snagged a SSJ Gohan for 4k yen.
Whilst Amazon and BBTS have great prices, because I am in the UK, the shipping is always ridiculous and I find it cheaper to order from Japan using SAL Small Packet!! Any suggestions for alternative places to order from for those in the UK?
I'm thinking I also want to get Piccolo and Mystic Gohan in September.........still undecided on RoF Goku & Freezer, even after seeing the film............
Edit: Just paid my invoice. Total equated to $90 shipped for the 2. Same price as Amazon.com with the free shipping to the US, (Which I don't get), so I didn't lose out in the end!!

Hey guys, i'm new to the forum and just wanted your critique on my first SHF purchases and photo.......Any suggestions on how to improve lighting? The photo lighting is fine. Great actually. Just a bad photo in the sense of you just have two figures and a bunch of effects thrown in there with absolutely no story being told. Then the little things like Android 18 throwing a blast one way and looking another, if she's supposed to be flying you shold've reversed the effects under her feet, etc. etc... Not trying to be harsh but you asked for critique. With the prices for those figures... no where because they're sold out and don't sell that low second-hand. Thank you very much.......not harsh at all. I appreciate it. Yeah, I admit I don't have much time to spend displaying (busy family man), so had about half an hour to unbox, accessorize and pose.......I need to work on the story side of things..... When 17 comes I will look at my manga chapters for inspiration......although I don't recall any action scenes when they were all involved in a fight together.......will have to use some poetic licence.....lol I think I missed the boat with the earlier figures *sigh*............please do premium color cell bandai!!

Hey guys, i'm new to the forum and just wanted your critique on my first SHF purchases and photo.......Any suggestions on how to improve lighting? I've been watching these figures for a long time, but stupidly only just started collecting and found that most are now really hard to find!! Any advice on where I can find Cell, Vegeta (Saiyan Saga Ver.), Freezer and Kuririn for near or less than $100......?? I'm going to get the premium Color Version of SSJ Vegeta and Trunks.........do you think the above 4 will also get an premium color re-release?? Maybe I should wait until Wonder Festival to see whats announced!!

Ouch..........bad luck dude!!! I had the same paint dot problem with my One Piece Zoro FAZ........I was able to remove the blemish, but unfortunately it took some paint with it......he still looks amazing though!! My friend at work also picked one up on release.......i'm a bit of a Figuarts virgin still having only just started my SHF collection...but i've been collecting One Piece POP along with other shonen lines for over 10 years now............ Got my replacement Goku. I am laughing(crying) ! This ones also pretty bad as far as QC goes. Random chunk of orange pvc on his gi. Not as bad as the random black dots on his face and arm on the other one so ill livei with this one

Sad to not see more love for the Megahouse DOD line. Seems a lot of people bashing them. I'll be straight with you, I can kinda see the argument about them looking too doll-ish, being too small and a little over prices, but i'm biased since I've been collection POP figures for years now, and until now my favourite DB figures have been my Medicom RAH Goku, SSJ Goku, Piccolo & Gohan!! So far I've picked up Goku and Piccolo, and I have to say I am relatively impressed. The hair on Goku looks a bit washed out, but Piccolo look just perfect. Also, I have to disagree with DBFanGirl regarding the shouting experssions. I personally like these the most, and whilst they are static figures, it really helps to show a bit of dynamism. I've just ordered Namek Saga Goku from amiami and looking forward to Freezer next month. He may not scale well with the rest of them, and I imagine will look too small next to the RAH's, but detail and sculpt-wise he looks simply fantastic!! I'm really concerned about Vegeta......the face looks a bit off to me, but perhaps that's just the lighting and angles we've seen him from so far. I really hope so.............Broly and Golden Freezer are an easy pass for me (I don't collect outside of the original manga canon). Trunks is amazing, just pre-ordered him and Buu looks promising. Will likely pass on Kid Goku and will have to wait and see for SSJ3 and Bluma if the rumours are true (although MH will undoubtedly over sexualize her!!) I've also finally decided to start hunting for the SH Figuarts that don't have an announced DOD. Namely the 3 Androids and Krillin. I'm sure a Gohan & Cell DOD will be next.........
