So, there will be articulation in the wang? that is what i gather.but to cut cost i've heard its going to be short,shriveled and only articulates to the left. Sounds like mine. Ok, back on topic.  I don't mind getting a Jaco Figuarts since I want as many different characters/forms/outfits in my collection as possible. Still would prefer to see that Nappa released though since the Irwin figure is way too small. |

Jaco is not really my first preference for a figure, but he seems to be popular in Japan. Maybe Tamashii is just catering to their primary market for once.
I'd seriously love figures of characters in casual clothes. Imagine a statue line, roughly Figuarts Zero/DXF style, with the characters in all their non-standard clothes. I'd kill for that.

Jaco will be the first "DBZ" Figuarts I pass on. If they release him, it'll give my wallet a nice break.  |

I don't care much for Yamcha since he's probably my least favorite character but even his useless self deserves to made over Jaco. Jaco in DBS/RoF is just an example of Toriyama trying to force his other works down our throat. Not to mention the fact that Jaco and his DB Minus association changes the origin story and serves to further confuse canonicity and basic DB history. So in short, screw Jaco. Hell I'll take the farmer or Yajirobe over Jaco  I know I'm late to the party, (been away for my honeymoon) but I've seen you post this a lot of times on this forum, and sideshow, but you should stop saying that Toriyama is trying to force Jaco into anything. Jaco has shown to be quite popular with the fan base, namely the Japanese fan base and plenty of fans around the world, but like able non the less. He is far from a horrible character, quite funny, and I hope to see him interact with the others, (especially with Krillen if you've seen ROF at all, they make a great duo) again soon. That's why he is being included in new material, and his presence is welcome among the already large cast of dragonball. I think I can safely say Jaco isn't a very desirable figure to the mainstream fanbase (internationally, baring Japan), let alone a desirable or even well known enough character to be included in the series. I will say I don't know the character therefore I can't actually hate him. That's just unfair to the character and Toriyama. He's going to be part of DBS, whether I personally like it or not. That's fine, I was simply stating my opinion on how I felt about it. Plenty of others agree and plenty don't. It's just I feel strongly about certain aspects of the series (DB Minus and the retcons and inconsistencies it comes with) that Jaco represents and I'd take any other character over him, therefore I already have a bias towards the character. I don't want this to be taken are argument or what have you. Sorry if I came on a little too strong, grilling the character and/or Toriyama, just wanted to state my piece. Point is, I'd take ANY other character that I actually know and have experiences with than a character I don't. If possible, let's just let this die here. There's been enough arguing on this forum already. Again, sorry if you may have taken my harsh criticisms out of context. I'll probably end up getting him if he's gonna be a recurring character and he's as cool as everyone says he is. |

That's cool, wasn't trying to start an argument either, it just seems like the character jumped from the pages of his manga and slapped you or something else harsh to garner such a dislike. The character is quite funny, maybe you might change your stance once you see ROF and his reappearance in Super when it gets to the ROF portion of its story. Oh well, can't force that, that's entirely on you. |

Enough people have said he's a good character and I'm open minded that I can put my hostility towards DB Minus and such out of the way. It's mainly that manga I have a beef towards for various reasons, which I won't get into here. Jaco just happens to be part of the story, hence him catching some of my fury  Back on topic, I believe the conversation left off at articulated wangs. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes  |

Jaco seems like the same size as Gotenks and Kid Buu. Make them instead!
And I hated that DB episode with Arale. For me, it's easily the two worst episodes out of the whole series.

I have no doubt we'll see those two next year. Right now they're focusing on RoF/DBS, which is understandable financially but I hope they go back and start filling in the gaps from the previous sagas. I think they're gonna start with Namek first after Buu and then go to Saiyan Saga afterwards. prodigy1367 hahah too far on topic.

That would be a dream come true. Shoot, owning all forms of Frieza wouuld be a dream come true... I eventually wanna see all the forms of Frieza, Cell, and Buu. It's definitely possible with the line growing like it is now. |

It would be kinda funny if they made lots of Buu stuff then went backwards. Imagine if they kept going and made some Dragonball Figuarts...! I don't like most of the main DBZ villains much, and I'd stop at one form, but yeah, that would be pretty cool. Buu's so weird that they'd start with two different "character-absorbed" Super Buus. Mr. Buu is easily the most iconic, and I presume the most popular. Kid Buu is the most stark contrast, and his "final form". I wonder about Frieza. I pretty much already missed Final Form Frieza, eh. I didn't see the movie yet, but I might get Golden Frieza. On the other hand, it might be fun to have 100% Frieza. Or his 2nd or 3rd forms, which might be my favorites (is it because they get less screentime? I'm weird like that sometimes.) What about...CYBORG FRIEZA. (which reminds me, KING COLD PLEASE) When thinking of Cell, I immediately thought of 3 forms. Pretty obvious. But then I thought of MORE. Power-weighted Cell...Larva Cell...Cell's shedded shell...self-destructing LAZOR-FIRIN Cell...there's a lot to work with. |
