Everything Dragonball-related is from Bandai, so at the moment the brands SH Figuarts, Dragon Stars, Figure-rise, Bandai Spirits, etc are all from the same mother company. If they already released a figure in one line, they may want to do something else for other lines because they know customers are often not going to buy the same character several times from several brands (especially when the scales are pretty close, as is the case between SHF and Dragon Stars). This doesn't really apply to the main characters because the Goku/Vegeta/Gohan/Trunks stuff keeps selling like hot cakes and always will, but for secondary characters, you're lucky to even get a single release across the brands sometimes.
Also, the numbers of sales from a particular figure could indicate there's a big demand or a low demand for that character in particular or that kind of character in a broader sense, so those are all indicators of possible future releases.
In your example, Goku is the flagship of all the brands, so they can and have released the same forms over all the brands without issue, it always sells. But Kale would require a new body for SHF, so they're going to base their decisions on other brands sales on DBS figures of secondary characters to see if it's worth making. Or make her a web exclusive and lower the risk.

Moro would be cool, (but just cool for me, not much lol) but i don't think we will see some figure that are exclusive to the manga. They will focus on the anime to my opinion. Yeah, I agree. I don't know how well manga exclusive characters would sell. They will probably wait until hopefully the anime continues with that arc. Moro would definitely be cool though. Of course, i guess as soon as the anime is back on the track, Molo will be made, and Meerus too. Anyway, i have another prediction that comes trough my mind for this month: nothing! We've been having two releases at the same time lately, maybe Bandaï will pass on february.

Has Bandaï already read the Dragon Ball manga once in its life? If they had, they should have seen in the first chapters a young long haired guy living with some flying cat named Yamcha. I'm basicly joking, but i think he should have been made yet and more relevant than Chi Chi wich appears in two chapters i guess, and the "adventure" Bulma. Anyway, Chi Chi is still good news to pair with blue outfit Goku. And Oozaru Vegeta is cool too, i hope they will make another head with a injured eye. Now i wish the Bulma moto will come out seeing they displayed it at the Tamashii event from last october too. And talking about the Oozaru: they should now make Krilin/Kid Gohan and Yajirobe to pair with.

I guess I was right about Oozaru Vegeta. But the price.. Geez. I won't pay that much. Luckly I only care for the "generic" Oozaru, so that won't be a problem for me.
Finally we'll have Chichi! I was waiting a long time for her. So happy
