Yamcha oughta come with both styles, with Android Saga symbols. Then you can cover the back Kaio symbol with his long hair, and the front Roshi symbol will still be Saiyan saga accurate! yamcha had the king kai symbol on the front of his gi, while goku had it on the back. I think it should come with 2 hair styles (Saiyan and Cell Sagas), 2 torsos (Saiyan and Cell sagas), and an halo. while Tien should come with 2 torsos too - one with white tank top (+ removable white shoulder pads, so it could be white T-shirt, his Cell Games saga's look) and one shirtless torso (+removable green sash), and at least one head with an halo. |

That would be crazy expensive! All I need is a shirtless torso and a removable green sash. And I hope and pray they don't make 2 different figures because there are so many characters we still want. |

Yeah, I'm personally a fan of the two torso concept for both figures, and I would love a green sash you could slip over the torso for Tien. Yamcha should defenantly have both hair styles.
I think Tiens blue outfit is awesome, but I honestly doubt they would release him in it. Its easily the saga he got the smallest amount of screen time in. I'll buy any Tien action figure, though!

In the android saga Yamcha had Kaio on the front and Roshi on the back, but at the Cell Games he randomly decided to swap them round. It was actually a consistent change too, not an error.
From Kanzenshuu:
"In the Artificial Human arc Yamcha wears the opposite setup, with a small Kaiō emblem on the front and a large turtle kanji on the back. However, as mentioned before, the kanji on the front of his shirt mysteriously switches to being the turtle kanji midway through the story arc, and the last time he is seen with the Kaiō emblem is chapter 343."
So it is true that to be Android Saga accurate, he must have Kaio on the front. But it still works for Cell Games, which is close enough for most I imagine.

All for Yamcha (saiyan saga. Hair would be cool on this figure) and Tien (doesn't matter just make sure he has his jacked up traps lol) Tien should come with a not crazy articulated Chiaotzu though.

Yeah, I'd hate to have to buy Chiaotzu separately. If that's the case, he better be under $30

No way they would release Chaiotzu alone. He's nowhere near popular enough to sell by himself. They have yet to have two figures in one box so this may be the first...or Goten and Trunks whenever they do them since they're small enough to bundle together.

I'd love to start seeing two packs or even three packs. If they ever release a Ginyu Force set I want them all released in a boxed set. I'd drop a few hundred on it.

The Ginyu Force is an odd one for me. I never watched Dragonball, and when I started watching Dragonball Z I was drawn to the edginess of the series. While there were other throwbacks to Dragonball's light hearted quirky comedic style up until that point, the appearance of the Ginyu Force was very much a jarring moment during the show for me. Things were starting to escalate as far as the story was concerned and the mysterious Ginyu Force was on the way, touted as an elite mercenary force. Suddenly the turned up and were just... Stupid to me. This was very much a reflection of my mindset at the time as I was a young teenager and couldn't appreciate the characters properly at the time as I wanted everything to be completely serious.
With age i've become to appreciate them a bit more, however I still somewhat hold a bit of bias against them as characters due to my initial impression of them when I first watched them on the show. Having said that, they're no-brainers for figuarts due to the articulation of the figures, and the range of poses that should be possible with the figures. There's no doubt i'd probably buy them anyway, lets face it.

There's no doubt i'd probably buy them anyway, lets face it. I'm a bit of an older guy and started with the original Dragon Ball series. I loved the light heartedness and missed it a little bit with DBZ, so I was happy to see a goofy group such as the Ginyu Force. I can see where you're coming from though. Some times I got tired of the serious over tones of DBZ, which is partially why I liked DBGT. It took itself less seriously. On that note; still waiting on the SS4 Goku figuart.... |

TBH, I think it'd be hard to pose the Ginyu force in all the poses we want. even with the Figuarts articulation.
so I hope we'll get the famous pose as a ZERO (5 ZERO pieces that together create this pose) and only get an articulated (SHF) Ginyu and BD Recoome.
Tien needs to come with Chiaotzu and Yamcha needs to come with Puar. Puar and Chiaotzu don't need to have a full SHF figure articulation, only arm articulation will be enough for me. and they need to come with two heads (serious and happy).

I would love it if they just released them in a box set, like they did for Super Samurai. One and done! Just don't make it a con exclusive, lol.  Figuarts is no stranger to 2 packs, though. They've done quite a lot for the Kamen Rider and Super Sentai lines. |

Hell yeah, Ginyu 5 pack with ginyu frog accessory. You would think these figures are popular enough to start making packs like that. Androids would have been a good way to kick that off. Maybe 1st 3 forms of Freeza, or 2 forms of Cell. Would be amazing but not happening. Majin Vegeta vs ssj2 Goku would be be sick.

Don't wanna sound negative here but I can see a potential issue with multi-figure packs.
We've already started seeing figures such as 16 who are very limited in terms of accessories and yet are overpriced. I feel multi-figure packs raises the potential for this happening even more.
If the price is right and there's enough accessories I'd love this idea though, particularly for less popular figures that may not warrant releases with all the bells and whistles.
