Judging by how cost efficient and cheap they are, I honestly think having a BAF strategy adopted by bandai is so much more realistic than making double packs. Branjita Chaozu and master roshi don't technically fall into the same character group. But if they would've released parts of Chaozu with tien, yamcha, goku and krillin, you wouldn't think it's a bad idea then right? Honestly... I think that's a horrible idea. I don't mean that to sound rude, so let me explain. I just think build a figures are stupid when the price of each character can vary (and Figuarts do vary in price). If each figure was $40 no matter who the character is, then it would make sense for a large character like Nappa to not come with anything, but a small character like Vegeta to come with extra parts to make somebody else. Plus, Figuarts figures come out months apart from each other. That would suck! I don't want an incomplete Chaozu while I wait half a year for the rest of his parts to come with other characters (that I may not want to buy). They should just release Chaozu with Tien, and call it done. They don't need to make Chaozu with a bunch of accessories. Just 2 non-fist hands and 3 or 4 heads would be enough. He doesn't need a crazy amount of articulation or switchable parts. He certainly doesn't need to cross his arms. They DEFINITELY do not need to release Chaozu by himself, or they will be dumb and make him enormous like Figuarts Mario, instead of tiny like he is supposed to be. The Figuarts line has size standards (dumb) and therefore small characters are made large if they don't come as accessories with other figures (like the small cats that come with Sailor Moon characters). That's likely why Krillin was made too big. If they make a Kid Goku, he will likely be too big as well. I don't think too many people who want Tien would complain about having to pay $10 or $15 more to have Chaozu come with him. It's like including Puar with Yamcha for an extra $5 or $10. Just give her an articulated tail and feet that can stand or hang (like she's flying) and 3 different heads and call her done. 4 points of articulation is all Puar needs. The only way I would personally like the idea of Chaozu parts coming with other figures, is if they included a battle damaged Chaozu head with Nappa. Sort of like how they included a Krillin head with Android 18, specific to the kissing scene. I don't really even like the idea of that though, because a face just like this one (that is either frowning or sort of frowning): would be sufficient, and that should be one of the 3 heads Chaozu comes with. If they wanted to include a non-battle damaged frowning head with Nappa, fine, but I'd rather have everything come with Tien. The other two or three heads should be these: 1) determined which would work for the DBZ Group pic everybody wants to recreate 2) super happy 3) his typical, no brain, no expression face

Anyone who seriously contemplating the idea of a build a figure in the S.H Figuarts line(I can't even say that with a straight face) should do a reality check, and come back to earth.
Regarding packs, it is a likelihood. MKG&Dorats, the Kamen Rider packs, the Ultra-Act one. There are probably a few more examples. We can expect to see this sort of thing in the dbz line in the future. It does bump the price of the release quite a bit. A chaozu would definitely be cool to have in the line. I'm fine with the HSCF though personally.

Branjita yea gonstead kinda gave a proper explanation to why it's not possible. I like how you gave very detailed specs of how Chaozu should be and I hope they would do that with characters like Chaozu, puar and oolong.

Chiaotzu should be a combined release with Tien. He doesn't need top level articulation, I wouldn't even expect more than one head (though it would be good). It would put the price up but it's the only way we'd get him as Figuarts, and besides, Tien would not be complete without his best friend.

I'd prefer they just release him as a smaller, cheaper Figuart and give him some accessories, like Mario.

That's highly unlikely considering the lack of demand for Chaozu.

Vegeta should come with a Final Flash effect.

I should just specify that while I made a push for a build-a-figure on the previous page, I'd ONLY like it for tiny characters with tiny demand; aka Chiaotzu, Guldo, Puar, Oolong, etc. NOT for main characters. A BAF Beerus would suck.
If you guys really think they're going to add a 2nd figure with someone, then maybe you're the ones that need to rethink that strategy lol I mean I would love for Tien to come with Chiaotzu, but how realistic is it? Would Tien's box design say "Tien & Chiaotzu" and have images of both of them? Would it really come with 7-8 faces combined for them too? I just don't see this happening even if it's a better idea than a build-a-figure.

I don't see why they couldn't/wouldn't do a two-pack. The box for Broly is enormous, so it isn't like they are following a box-size limitation or anything. Not including Chaozu with Tien would be like not including Pikachu with Ash. I can't think of a better example than that.

I just don't see this happening even if it's a better idea than a build-a-figure. I feel the same. If they made a BAF I would only want it for little side characters, but no one major. But, Figuarts have already done like 7+ 2 packs. I think it's very realistic. Even this month they announced a Juuko B-Fighter 2 pack, it's not something they only did once a while ago. As for what they would look like, maybe something like this and still come with lots of accessories... Figuarts could even do a normal figure and ZERO statue 2-pack. It wouldn't be ideal for Chiaotzu, but they've done that, too.

Well then I guess we'll see if they adopt that style to the DBZ line. I wouldn't mind one bit.

I would like to see a teen future Trunks figure. A sculpt of him going Super Saiyan for the first time, epic.

Gogeta normal hair, SS. Gotenks, normal hair, SS, SS3.
Some Zero EX of Vegetto would be cool too. I love all the fusions so i would be happy with any choice.
