OK, So I've been watching these for a minute, but so far there hadn't been any characters that had caught my attention. Gotenks and Buu changed that, as I think with the right camera tricky they could make for good companions to my Figuarts Vegetto and Ultimate Gohan!
As far as I can tell, the set comes out in September, my only problem is, much like Styling figures that I used to collect, they only appear to be available from HLJ as a 6pc box for ¥4,860.
So 2 questions. Are the boxes guaranteed to contain at least 1 of each figure or alternatively is there anywhere I can get 2 of them separate for a better price?
At that price, with shipping it's the equivalent of spending almost £20 on each.

Yes, you are guaranteed to get two of each figure in the box. The only place I've ever seen to buy them individually is Amazon and eBay after they've come out. They're usually quite overpriced when sold individually as well.
In my experience, I've always been able to recoup any money I lost on them by selling the extras.

Ageless Geeks will be selling them individually for roughly $6.00 each, IIRC.

Yes! Glad to know this line is continuing strong. Im not quite into any of those new ones.. But its ok enough.. Buu is Nice. Gotenks is só tiny! I didnt think they would do smaller/child figures because of the already small scale. Looking foward to it. Vegeto is a waste.. Just a reuse of goku's body... And im not into fusions that much. I just painted my frieza white and my vegeta's hair black. Looking good! And customized a 3rd form Frieza From a gashophon.. Its in scale with this colection and now fully articulated!

At least not on their website. $6.00 each would be mighty competitive considering the import cost for a box of 6 is approximately $50 (and that's 20% off RRP) Anyway, needless to say my friend and I have agreed to split a box so I've placed an order at amiami!! Funny to see it's currently the most viewed item! People must keep thinking they're S.H. Figuarts lol. |

Well... those are super cool... and I thought I was gonna stop getting this line too... Just how many are you going to collect VR? You've got the Shodo's, the hybrids, the mighty figuarts and even aiming for the cool looking Figure rise model kits? I'm looking at some heavy expenses in your future.  |

Hey guys, just to let you know I did a post on the custom section with my Shodo Neo customs. check'em out. dragonballfigures.com/thread/3118/coronel-shodo-neo-customsAlso a piece of info I don´t know if it is largelly known but I believe that this line has some assembling issues. specifically regarding arms placing. I believe that most arms (at least of the figures I got so far) have been swaped! I mean the arm that comes as a right arm is actually the left arm and vice versa. I say that because the inside of the arm has better sculpted triceps muscle.. while the outter side of the arm has less detail. actually you can just swap them since thats the only diference in the arms.. foward arms are simetric. So doind that you get a better looking figure.. more muscled. I guess its a easy mistake.. this should be harder to hapen with Brolly (wich I don´t yet have. So I don´t know thats true for him too.) I guess we will se if it is a design problem or a assembling problem with Buu..because his arm holes. |

I seriously want to see Nappa, Krillin, Frieza, Tien or Yamcha make an appearance in this line. Something I hate is that almost every figure line starts with the most popular characters in the series, which means mostly Buu Saga characters, why can't they start with the saiyan saga get most of the major characters and continue like that throughout all the major sagas and fill in some of the missing spaces with characters they forgot later. Also what's the deal with saiyan characters getting their transformations made before their base form figures, I personally think Goku looks way cooler in his base form than any of his super Saiyan forms.

I hear you. This line, being a small line would be perfect for making less popular characters.. like the Ginyu forces.
I really hope so.. but being realistic I believe they might go back and foward with DB Super and DBZ. Now that future trunks is coming back.. I bet he will surelly be in the next batch.. and perhaps Cell.
The sad thing though is that if they ever do the Ginyus.. they will never do All! I believe Recoome Ginyu and Jess would be the pick.. but I personally would hope for a Botter. Also we don´t know how well those big guys will be make.. I mean Brolly turned out like .. really small.

The Ginyu force as Shodo Neo figures would make a great centerpiece for a Frieza saga HG display, if they do make the Ginyu force they better not forget Guldo. |

Yeah.. agreed. in fact was researching to see what I could do with some of the figures Im about to recieve. And just decided to make a Tien from that Brolly.. a few adjustments.. and I dont care much for Brolly anyway.. it will end up quite great in scale with that Nappa I did ( and all the others.. since he is a bit bulkier than Goku and not close to Nappa). Also I was thinking on using his uper body for a shirtless full power SSJ goku, and/or 100% frieza (even his gountlets would fit fine, just a repaint).. If I manege to get more brollys eventually I might do that. And my other golden Frieza will become a Cooler. The head re-sculpt might be a bit of a chalenge.. that I wont shy away from. Also in IDK what to do with another SSJ blue vegeta.. if I just make him SSJ yellow.. or if I go for a King Vegeta.. (I already have a close enough cape) |

(I already have a close enough cape) I can't wait to see those customs, a Broly would be cool and a King Vegeta would be awesome, battle damaged SSJ Goku always looks cool and Frieza looks insane at 100% power |
