Wow. Just wow. So many amazing figures. I'm stationed in Japan now so I couldn't go to the show but I got lucky and my cousin was able to score me a Goku after a four hour wait in line. Here's my thoughts on all the fantastic reveals: Yamcha - Loving the serious face and great how we've got a long hair version out there. I don't think he'll have that long hair included with the Yamcha we've been seeing up until now as he'll probably be a separate Saiyan Saga release rather than an all in one figure. Tien - The torso looks fantastic and everything else looks stellar like before. I also think he'll have a separate release as well. I was thinking the Saiyan Saga version comes with a fixed Chiaotzu in this pose while a Cell Saga version has a standard pose/figure. Majin Mother****ing Vegeta - The veins. The expression. The years waiting. He looks epic. I can definitely see them eventually releasing a battle damaged version of him too. With the veins being sculpted in he'll probably be a full on separate Majin Vegeta release which is great news so he'll get the invidualized attention he deserves and Buu Saga Vegeta will be separate. Thank you Tamashii [emoji24] SSG Goku - The prototype looked better overall. He was leaner how he was supposed to be but now he's got the standard build. The face is off to me, the proto captured the sweet innocence of his eyes and face better lol. The hair was also better on the proto. I do like the color of the gi better on this figure though. Kid Goku - Most impressive figure they showed imo. The face looks excellent and they captured the modern version of Kid Goku perfectly. All the colors are perfect too. While I'd like the old school anime version with his plumpness, I'll take this one. Can't wait to see what other OG Dragon Ball figures come next. Misc - Shenron's back and he looks as great as ever. Korin looks awesome and so does the Saibaman. Gotenks was cool to see again and SSJ3 Goku was looking real seductive. Sucks we didn't see any Buu figures or the return of SSJ4 Goku. It's just a matter of time before we see them again but I was hoping for a glimpse. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They had a SH FIguarts Korin on display which i didn't expect. The prototype seems to be just a regular figure tho. imgur.com/a/m8Dv3That should be a throw in for Kid Goku. I can do with or without it. If I had a choice between that and the Nimbus, I definitely prefer the Nimbus cloud. Really hope they go into DB. So many great characters to tackle.

Honestly, I can't imagine them selling two versions of Yamcha or Tien back to back, especially since Yamcha's Cell saga head can realistically fit in the box so long as the long haired version is the packaged version. Tien is a bit more tricky, but if they made the half-gi a softer piece and removeable (as some have suggested) that would be easy to pack in as well. It's just not practical... If it was 2 versions of Goku or Vegeta or Gohan, yeah, it'd sell just fine. Yamcha and Tien though... let's be real, those are for the actual fans, not as many people want them, and it's not worth diluting the market by having collectors choose one or the other. Especially with them showing both versions... If I know long haired yamcha is ready to go, I am not buying Cell saga Yamcha.
For Kid Goku... I'm ok with it. Yeah, he doesn't match up well with the early DB Goku, but I think he's fine as a "End of King Piccolo saga" Goku. Plus, this body mold is more likely to be used again for certain other DB/Z characters down the line... Goten, Gohan, Trunks, Krillin, etc.
Gotenks... I'll be honest, my biggest disappointment is that so far we haven't had a normal head, but honestly, if they don't include it (which they may not) I'll just paint the SS1 head myself. It won't be as good, but the shape is there and I'll deal with the rest.
Honestly, I'm sold on most of these. I'll inevitably be buying Tien, Yamcha, Kid Goku, and Gotenks for sure.

Wow, did not expect Shenron - ever. I thought even with them showing it again it was just a 'display only' thing, can't wait. SSG Goku isn't that surprising though, the dub I think just moved past BoG arc so they're probably wanting to capitalise on that.
Edit: Assuming that's why SSG is finally getting a release, hopefully when the dub catches up to the newer characters we finally see some of them released too.
