I wonder if amazon will have the Ac Vegeta and Trunks for pre order? I'm guessing probably not since its a tamashi web store limited. I think with these 3 upcoming releases, you'll want to order from ToyzintheBox or BTTS once they make them available for pre-order. You don't want to take the chance on missing out on these since they're web exclusives. These are going to sale fast They have all been web exclusives since the first three. (Manga Piccolo Goku and Gohan) |

(Manga Piccolo Goku and Gohan) Correct. So once they're sold out in the online stores, they're gone (except Ebay for a higher price). |

SSGS Goku is an October release. This new Goku mentioned is a December release. Tamashii Nations facebook page lists SSGSS Goku as a November release. The "awakening version", as seen above, is listed as a November release. I really think it's the same figure. Why would they release two different Gokus in the same month? |

ROF Frieza and Goku release is in October. The new Goku is coming out a month later in November. It's not the same figure. |

 Though even if it were October that's still two Gokus in two months, which I can't really see happening unless the latter is just a re-release. |

It seems the release dates vary on a lot of websites, amazon shows September, bbts shows November, Toyzinthebox shows *Please note this is a pre order and date could be subject to change by manufacturer scheduled release date is: 11/30/15*.

That said, while the release itself is an exclusive, the mold is not. So the mold to be re released as an alternate version\ SDCC repaint is very possible (like with SDCC Vegeta). Trunks\Super Vegeta\SSJ3 Goku are most definitely a primary likelihood that we would see in the following years IMO. Called this out months ago but no one wants to listen.  |

saiyanprince the North America release date is about a month after then the main Bandai distribution in Asia. It's still close enough to consider the possibility that it's the same release. Dates are subject to change, and there's also always the possibility of a miscommunication on one end or the other. Ultimately we'd be talking a month difference between figures if there are in fact two releases, so anyone who's getting their hopes up for something as substantial as a battle damaged Goku (which would have to be almost entirely new parts) is setting themselves up for a let down. If there's another Goku the month after SSGSS it will almost certainly be a re-release/repaint. |

In theory, wouldn't the Golden Frieza also be listed under that month since they're being listed together? |

As pumped as I am about the reissues, I'm kind of hating how much this line is exploding. I could fairly comfortably buy 4 a year. I've collected the 13 that I wanted in the past 2 years, and I thought I was finally gonna have some breather room from here on out. Guess not!
I'm also not really excited about a lot of the releases. Out of the 7 this year they've announced that I don't have, I really only want 2 for certain.
Ultimate Gohan and the SS Vegeta reissues are a must. The Mexican Exclusive Goku might be too illusive, and I virtually already have the figure anyway. Then if the "Super Warrior Awakening" is just another SSJ Goku, I doubt i'll get it. The SSGSS Goku's coloring is awful, and if I don't see that they'll fix it I won't get it, which means I likely wouldn't get Golden Frieza or even SSGSS Vegeta when he's fully announced. I WANT them all, but dear lord the colors are awful for the Goku, and they're kind of a set. I would just get the ZERO version, but I've only collected the Figuarts, so it would seem weird. I'm waiting for someone to have Vegito in stock as I'm still debating him, but I'm not sold. AND we still have yet to see what the SDCC is going to be, which most people seem to think it's going to be a SSJ3 Goku.
That's a lot of Goku in one year.
I'm even on the fence about most of the not-announced. Beerus is another "Must get" for me. I wish the Buu was another other than the Gohan/Gotenks absorbed, and I kind of want to hold out to see if they'll release Fat/Super/Kid Buu, especially if they release the Gohan and Gotenks absorbed Buu's separately. I don't want a SSJ4 Goku, and if they finally release Nappa I hope it's with the armor. and I really don't have an interest in Jaco. Maybe that will change when I see the movie? But I doubt it.
I think this is the most dis-interested I've been in the line in...kind of ever. I feel that we're getting more, but we're getting a lot with less thought and quality. Sorry if this is coming off negative. They just have so many more figures that would be obvious musts. Tien, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, Kid Gohan, Kid Trunks, Goten, Gotenks, Majin Vegeta, All the other Buu's, Nappa (armored), Raditz, Videl, Bulma, Master Roshi, Chi Chi, Oolong/Puar, Great Saiyaman.
Sorry for the ramblings! Just kind of thinking out loud via typing.
EDIT: I wanted to ask, how is everyone else feeling about the line? It is booming, I'm just curious to see how everyone is feeling about the figures being released.

jj, I'm loving the way the line is exploding. I always knew this was gonna be the next Jakks/Irwin and I'm happy to see they're heading that way. I'm honestly not worried about a lot of the characters you mentioned coming out. I KNOW they will come out eventually. I've realized it's just patience that's needed with this line. They will eventually give us what we want and I do see what they're doing with their upcoming releases. I've stopped thinking like a collector and started thinking like a business. If I were a company, what would I do? Would I make more money selling Yamchas and Oolongs or make more money selling Goku and Vegetas? The answer is obvious. Right now they're taking advantage of the new movies and upcoming series so it makes perfect sense for them to do what they're doing. The Dragonball universe is massive and there's TONS of characters they can make. Right now they wanna release what is guaranteed to sell to the masses, the casual fans. Let's face it, casual fans only know Saiyans and villains. The minor characters will come out, but don't expect them to take precedence over the big sellers. Even Krillin who is one of the more popular of the minor characters didn't sell out as fast as characters like Broly did. SDCC Piccolo didn't even sell out until a year after he was released and he's a very well known character! The better the line sells the more characters they'll release and the more risks they'll take with minor characters and variations. Just my two cents.

I fully agree!! and now with the new animation series coming out, I believe they are preparing to release a full set of new characters to add to the line.

He's re released once or twice a year. As long as people are buying him, they'll keep producing him.
I dunno, the number of figures is a little overwhelming due to their prices, but until we get to the point where its two or three a month it doesn't bother me. At least at this rate we might get some characters people have been asking for/have been shown off already within the next year.
