GT is inevitable, they’ve just got so much ground left to cover still with Z and Super so they’re focusing on those rn riding the momentum and also trying to take out the third party competitors
I think within the next year we’ll see the first GT release and it’ll be an out of the blue announcement. 99% likely it’ll be SS4 Goku to start off and they’ll include the black star balls with each figure

1. SS4 Goku 2. SS4 Vegeta 3. Super Baby 2
4. Omega Shenron 5. Super Android 17 6. Majuub 7. Pan
Something close to that would be great. I'd prefer Pan to be replaced by SS4 Gogeta but given her prominence in that show, I could see her being one of the 7. Plus with Pan having a black star DB, more people will buy her to complete the collection. SS4 Gogeta will sell quite well without one. Later releases could include Eis Shenron, Nova Shenron, GT Trunks, and GT Kid Goku with base form and with SS1.

I think SS4 Goku and Vegeta dont need a dragon ball to sell, to me it makes more sense to have the GT starring trio (kid Goku, Pan and Trunks) but who knows

They started with a manga exclusive obscure Bulma instead of coming right out with the Kid Goku (and also screwing up the scale). I can already see how many people would be pissed tf off if the very first GT reveal was Pan or a repainted Kid Goku, which could arguably said is the weakest part of the series to begin with. If you’re an executive making decisions about taking a chance on the GT line, the best thing is show that its worth continuing so they need some good chunky profits from the start which SS4 will most definitely produce.

I think SS4 Goku and Vegeta dont need a dragon ball to sell, to me it makes more sense to have the GT starring trio (kid Goku, Pan and Trunks) but who knows Very true about SS4 Goku and SS4 Vegeta selling well without a dragon ball, but when they finally release GT characters, like someone else said, they'll most likely start with SS4 Goku. In that case, I was thinking there's a decent chance they'd start the black star dragon balls with him. However, like you said, who knows. Regardless of the dragon balls, I just want them to start off with the big guns from GT. The "GT trio" (Kid Goku, Pan, and Trunks) as Dokkan calls it, is not exciting to me personally and I'd rather the beginning of the line up have the big guns/biggest stars as I said. Character wise, it seems most people just care about the SS4s, Super Baby 2, and Omega Shenron from GT. Slightly less so for Super Android 17 and Majuub. It's not like there is a deep roster with GT compared to Z and DBS anyway.
*Edit* Also, Prodigy just made a great point with the post above. I agree 100%. It's a good idea to not have a repeat of the DB line.

lol You like arguing semantics buddy. I think you could argue that, if the figures turn out to be there, that tease is an announcement of those figures. My guess for why they're releasing this is that they'll do another release for Ultra Instinct Sign in the future, just like they did with Super Saiyan Blue Vegito. Most of the figure are reused parts, outside of the shirt. I don’t see how they could rerelease that Goku again. He’s already a 2.0 body and a complete figure. If anything maybe a version with less stuff like the new Kid Goku rerelease Tamashii has done full releases of figures they've visited for event exclusives years prior. There was an event Kaio Ken Goku before the current release, a Super Saiyan Blue Vegito 1.0 recolor before the 2.0 mold they dropped. If it involved Goku, there's a good chance they may release it later in some variation. (Spoilers for the Super Manga up ahead) Also, Goku goes Ultra Instinct Sign in later Super manga, so my guess would be Figuarts would revisit the form with the outfit he's wearing then. But who knows! If there's enough demand, maybe they would to the UI Sign for the tournament.

Off-topic question but can anyone tell me if pink dress Bulma comes with the same dragon ball as booty shorts Bulma?

Still think that they would start with SS4 but without a ball and then with less popular characters with a ball. Tamashii makes sometimes decisions that are not popular opinion (first Bulma, Jackie Chun etc ) We'll see I would totally love the GT trio and kid Goku would need a new mold that for sure. Off-topic question but can anyone tell me if pink dress Bulma comes with the same dragon ball as booty shorts Bulma? Pink dress Bulma comes only with 2 star DB the other one with the 5 star DB

Yeah honestly they could probably get all of the most important GT characters with two waves of dragonballs, the show wasn't on long enough to have a huge amount of characters
So 14 characters would be something like..
1.Kid Goku 2.Trunks 3.Pan 4.Baby 5.Super 17 6.Omega Shenron 7.GT Vegeta
8.SSJ4 Goku 9.SSJ4 Vegeta 10.SSJ4 Gogeta 11.Majuub 12.Nova Shenron 13.Dr Myuu? 14.Bulla?
Probably not in that order but something like that It's been a good while since i've seen any GT so forgive me if I missed anyone important

They could even make the blue dark dragon balls for each shadow dragon the reach of this line is so endless that sometimes I think we are going to grow old and not see it finished lol

Yeah the site crashed immediately. I was able to pay for UI Sign Goku and got the confirmation through Paypal, but haven't gotten an e-mail or even the confirmation page to load on Bandai's website. They were not prepared for this level of traffic.
