Amazon now has Series 18 up for pre-order! In this series we'll get Janemba, Super Saiyan Bardock and Super Saiyan Vegito. Did we know about Vegito before this?    I haven't bought any Dragon Stars since Series 12 since my town sucks at stocking these figures, but I think I'm going to just start picking and choosing which figures I buy. Vegito's face is... yikes! Janemba is a definite must buy though.

Oooo Janemba! I hope they continue with movie villains, Bojack or Android 13 would be sweet.

I wasn’t excited for Janemba until I saw that sword. Instant must-have. I just hope I find it at retail. I still haven’t found Cooler.

Namekian Dragon thanks for posting that!!! I'm a bit disappointed in Janemba. Unlike Cooler (who was perfect in my opinion), Janemba has the typical strange proportions of a Dragon Stars figure (too long of shins). His arms don't look too awkward though. A lot of these figures (like Bardock) have upper arms (biceps) that are oddly short, so the forearms look really long. Anyway, I love that they included his sword with him!!! Looks like they gave him 2 extra hands, but took away the bicep swivel joint. I'm not sure how much that matters though.
I'd buy an Imperfect Cell Dragon Stars figure. He's the only character I can think of in the series that had longer shins than thighs.  I really hope they continue doing movie characters. Super Android 13 would save me an enormous amount of time making a custom figure I probably won't ever finish.

The Tenkaichi Budokai playset is up for pre-order too! What a great price!
9.08” High by 11.8” Deep
That should be pretty good for HG figures. We've already seen in the oldddddd photos how Dragon Stars look on it. (Scroll up)

Wow, only $30!? I don't know what I was expecting for a price on it, but it was gonna be far north of $30.

The site currently says out of stock, but it isn't supposed to be live until the 16th, so don't worry. At $30, this is a bargain compared to spending $60+ for the original Build a Figure. It's laughable that their official pic has the necklace messed up. You'd think they would have shaken it until it fixed itself!
For comparison, here's the original BAF with some other figures. |

I don't know how they found it, but somebody found Goku V2 on Amazon.co.uk and shared a link in a group on Facebook. He looks a lot better than the original Goku in this line. I'm really curious who the third character in this wave will be. We already know that Gotenks will be the 2nd character. |

Man, that's a good head sculpt, I know it won't be as spikey when it actually drops, but it's certainly better than V1 (Which I liked for the most part)

I think the V1 head looks like Goten's head on Goku's body, so I like this one a lot better. The body on this one is getting a lot of hate for looking swollen (and like Mystic Gohan's body), which I think is pretty fair. But I think the hair looks great on V2. It looks like DB Super artwork... well... the good artwork.
