By the way any word on the new Kioken Goku US releases? It never takes this long for them to start popping up on eBay for reasonable prices but I’m not seeing much still

The way that tweet was worded is very obviously hinting towards at least those two. It’s just too out of the ordinary to not be a reference. The peanut butter jelly thing could indeed be SS3 but could also just be Trunks and Goten. I’d say at the very least Cooler and Launch are 99% confirmed.
Launch is a great choice for the DB line and will 9/10 have both hairstyles. Then again they could do one for now and have an exclusive in the other form later if they wanted to milk it 🤔
Cooler I’m hoping is the fourth form since they could make at least a metal Cooler with a simple repaint (or if you count Heroes, golden Cooler too). Final form would be awesome too but riskier for them since he’d be more expensive. There’ll probably test the waters with the smaller one imo but I’m excited either way 😁

I prefer his standard form to his transformed version too. I don’t think there are any figures out there of his normal form aside from gashapons & statues

So my usual supplier in the UK informed me that he won't be getting the exclusives in, as America are being pretty adamant about being the only ones that can sell them and want to promote the USA P-Bandai stuff (his words). I have read in some Facebook groups that BBTS might also sell them but at an increased price. This seems to be my only option without giving in to the inevitable scalper prices that will come. Does anybody on here think BBTS will get some stock in? If so when do they usually put pre-orders on site? This will be my first time ordering from there if I have to and want to have a bit of a chance to get hold of the exclusives.

I guess you might have been fooled lol To me, the tweet talks about lunch time, and not the character. Same for Cooler here mentioned has cold water. And i don't see anything connected with Gotenks. Anyway, that tweets clearly says to fans to wait patiently, so it would'nt make any sense to reveal a name by telling to calm down. I think we won't know anything 'til saturday. And my guess is just one reveal, Bandaï is made of human beings, not robots I think you're really slow or either English isn't your first language. It's a play on words...

Very happy with the probable Cooler and Launch reveals, hoping for both heads/hairstyles for Launch, and some accessories (machine gun at the very least, maybe some bullet effects on a translucent plastic sheet).
If the last hint is indeed a tease of SSJ3 Gotenks, I'm not expecting them to change the body, they should keep it consistent even if the original is a little too tall, and I agree including a powered down head with the black and purple hair would be really cool.
It's pretty clear Tamashii / Bandai is on the offensive against third-party manufacturers, especially Demoniacal Fit. I'm pretty sure most of those announcements were meant to be kept under wraps for a while, but they decided to show everything and especially go in several directions (ALL the Ginyu Force, a DB character (Launch), focus on Namek (Piccolo 2.0 and Kid Gohan), then also two movie characters probably (Bardock for sure, Cooler probably), and possibly a Buu saga character (SSJ3 Gotenks)..). By doing that, they show that anything can happen, and that takes steam away from the third-parties that mostly generally focus on characters that are too niche to be made by the big company. It's a smart move on them, but they better keep it going and not just be a one-time tease or the third-parties will return in full force.

Yeah, I agree. Nobody is going to pre-order or buy DF products of a character they KNOW Tamashii is going to release FOR SURE at some point. I can't imagine anybody wanting to buy a DF Burter or DF Recoome after seeing Tamashii's superior prototypes.

Best bet for Demoniacal Fit now is to make a battle damaged Recoome with missing teeth and fully sculpted buttcheeks.

It would’ve been wise for Tamashii to make a Future Gohan to go with the re-release of 17 & 18 Yeah, I agree. Nobody is going to pre-order or buy DF products of a character they KNOW Tamashii is going to release FOR SURE at some point. I can't imagine anybody wanting to buy a DF Burter or DF Recoome after seeing Tamashii's superior prototypes. Oh those people are out there, trust me lol. Some of them actually got mad at me for saying almost the same thing you said. I used to be a DF defender too, but I got sour when they kept revealing CGI render after CGI render with “TBA” release dates. Where are the Buutenks/Buuhan add-ons? The Cyborg Tao add-ons?

crisis I mean, it'd be different if DF's Burter was going to be $30, but it wouldn't be, so I don't think anybody would buy their $60 Burter when Tamashii's Burter will be (hopefully) around that price (or within $20 or $30 I assume). DF should have just focused on making products that extended Tamashii's products like you mentioned. We've been waiting so long for extra heads and stuff that DF is missing the boat now. Tamashii is starting to catch up.

It kind of looks like Demoniacal Fit dropped the add-ons when they realized they could make more money selling actual figures. It's a shame too because the add-ons are by far the most interesting part of their catalogue.. but I got tired of waiting too, I made my own Buu transformations and I'm going to make my own Cyborg Tao Pai Pai. They should know by now when you chase too many rabbits you end up empty-handed.
