I NEED this with my entire soul, the Moro arc is so sick. I'm eagerly awaiting the AIR studios Gi kit to transform Toyotarou UI goku into the one from the Moro Arc, with the Galactic Patrol insignia.

I read something late last night about an animator from Toei Studios having a grudge against the Dragon Ball series, and airing it out on twitter. He said Dragon Ball Super was a "silly sequel" and not a true continuation of DB, while lauding the One Piece series. I've personally felt Toei heavily favors One Piece for some time (I'm a fan of both series and just don't understand the tribalism - I think it's incredibly juvenile.)

It's unprofessional of someone of his position, but I'm inclined to agree with him.. Super is a silly sequel (imo) |

I have my issues with Super, but the silliness of it is one of the things I consider to be good.

I'm hearing through the rumour mill people are getting pre-shipment notification emails for Gigachad Frieza lol. That's cool! What, precisely is "Gigachad Frieza"!? Honest question! |

100% Full Power, I assume.

100% Full Power, I assume. ...Now that I put the image with the name it makes total sense; so I'd say you're right! |

His continued character growth (even in the manga) has been sensational to watch

Jeez, I really wish I hadn't abandoned and given up on Figuarts collecting back when the line was still in its infancy.
Had I known that some of my top tier wants back then would be a reality now (basically all of Frieza's forms, King Cold, Cui, etc.)
I'd certainly have made some better decisions! Now I'm starting back over from step one, ha! Well, at least I'll simply be cherry-picking the line and not going all in; I have that much in my favor, at least; financially speaking.
I once had very little faith in this line but am now glad to say it was largely unfounded. Still waiting on a few favorites to potentially appear; but the sky's the limit compared to how the line started.

Still waiting on a few favorites to potentially appear; but the sky's the limit compared to how the line started. I passed on this line for years because it looked like just another "Saiyans, Saiyans, Saiyans (plus the occasional Piccolo, Freeza, Krillin)" line. It wasn't until they released Tien and Yamcha that I really took notice and started picking up some of the figures. I still have a fairly small collection compared with some, but it's because I have a pretty narrow interest in what characters/eras I want. |

Precisely. I assumed it would be an endless bog of Goku and Vegeta variants with the occasional "big name" thrown in. Very glad I was wrong!

I did the same. Wasn't interested at first either. But then they announced Ginyu, and that's how I started more seriously. I have his entire force, most of Frieza's forms, and many others.

For me, it was that when the line started, I would never have imagined I'd someday have Goku, Krillin, Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Bulma, and frikkin' Lunch all standing together in my display! While there are still plenty more characters I'd love to see from Dragon Ball and Early Z, I feel like if I could just get a 23rd Budokai or Saiyan Saga Chi-Chi, I'd be pretty happy.

I think my Jiren might have arrived, the mailperson only took credit so I couldn't pay my duties, I'll find out on Mon.
I can hardly wait till the end of this year, man.
