I wouldn't be surprised at all if a SS3 Goku 2.0 was on the way. SSJ3 is my favorite form, hope he's coming soon! |

I hope they do an SH Figuarts of this new character of DBS (Yup, girl version of Broly):  What the fukc?! Did toriyama run out of imagination, he is using the same characters as Z. |

I don't know how I feel about this new character. I prefer the original lol
By the way, I'd love to add a Chichi in my collection. There are so many Gokus to display, especially the base one, that would make a great pair with her.
In fact, for all The collectors here that have girlfriends, that could be even a gift (My girlfriend always complain about not having a Chichi in my collection lol) and I'd buy her one in a heartbeat

I feel like the spoiler ship has sailed by now, but I'll keep that part of my post in tags.
I'm ok with her, for a few different (and seemingly opposite) reasons
- This actually somewhat legitimizes Broly into DBZ canon. Sure, things might not have gone down EXACTLY as in the films, but the fact that there IS a canon Legendary Super Saiyan legitimizes both the form and, by proxy, her Universe 7 counterpart, and does so without being a complete rehash.
- More strong female characters in DBZ is a good thing for me, regardless.
- While I do love the concept of Broly as the "Legendary Super Saiyan," and the form LOOKS cool as heck, let's be real: Broly himself is a loser with no character who says a single word over and over for more than two thirds of his films. His backstory is boring, his reason for hating Goku is paper thin and ludicrous, and his later two films are an embarrassment on the entire franchise. For a character with more time devoted to him than any other movie villain in the franchise sans Beerus, he somehow has less character development than a Freeza Soldier. Anything, literally ANYTHING they do with this female LSSJ will make her a more interesting and developed character than Broly.
That said, unless she completely explodes (which, tbf, she seems to be doing, so it's possible) I doubt we'll see a figure of her anytime soon. She'd be a completely unique sculpt, since I doubt they'd be able to get away with reusing Broly pieces. That takes time, and without a consistent and available player base, I don't see it.
That said, I completely echo gokubr in that I desperately want either/both Chi Chi and Bulma. The former would make for a better figure (because she's a fighter) but the latter I feel is a more important part of the franchise. |

I think a Bulma figure would be very well received.

Man.....have things ground to a halt or what! Got my e-mail from NY today to say my SSJ Gohan is preparing to ship which is exciting, but after that there's nothing new from Z coming it seems.
I decided against PCE Cell in the end. Just didn't make sense to drop £50 when I already had the original. Xenoverse is another pass for me. Don't have much time to play video games these days so don't know the story behind these Trunks/Hero characters.
Tamashii are announcing their June retail and July webshop releases now. I really hope we get confirmation on Tien and Yamcha on the February Jump Calendar, but even if we do it's gonna be a 5-6 month wait for my next DBZ Figuarts!!
Time to find some other figures to buy!!

I preordered it mostly because I got into the line late, by which point it was running 200+ on eBay. I do kind of like the brighter colors, though a balance between the two would have been better.

I'm pretty sad about the lack of release dates from Tamashii so far. I assumed 2017 was going to be this great year with all we saw at the last big Tamashii event. Hoping things pick up. I mean, im glad we have some releases coming out for the next few months but it looks like the next figuart we will get will be the SDCC exclusive in July.  Bummer. |

I don't mind that lack of releases. Gives me a chance to catch up on a few other lines I'm behind on. I just don't want to see any more figures like Xenoverse.

With the long silence from Tamashii I'm expecting some big announcements for the later half of this year. Adam Newman did say they were gonna out the gas on this line for 2017. Add to the fact that the Buu Saga of Kai and the English dub of Super is in full swing, it's gonna be a wild ride

I want more figures of the whole Xenoverse line, but AFTER everything mandatory from the Canon line. Just imagine a Xeno Goku, that outfit is amazing |

Bummer.
