I don't know yet because it's just a character design. There's no character to like or dislike. Some don't have cash to blow on designs. Also, how does being a female antagonist make it something to love? Stop drinking soy milk, bro. Also, that's sexist. Sexist? Because I want to see a series known for belittling it's own female cast embrace them and their new additions? Because if we're going to get a blatant tie in figure like we did with the Xenoverse games, I'd like it to be a design from Toriyama rather than random CaC boy? You can sit there and say "I don't want to spend my money" but I'd rather spend money on a cool design for a new character than another 20 flipping Goku repaints. As for "there's no character" that's not really true. We know this is a former red ribbon army scientist whose intelligence "rivals Dr. Gero" (thus making her the likely antagonist since the game features evil Android clones). Even without Christopher Sabat adding to the fire by making comments like "and who she's related to..." there was already heavy speculation that she's Dr. Gero's wife and the mother of his deceased son (the son Android 16 is based on, according to Toriyama), There is enough meat there for me to sink my teeth into, and I'm super excited to see what she adds to the franchise. Do I think there's a plethora of other characters that should "come first"? Oh, for sure. I've said multiple times that the lack of Bardock, Raditz, and Super Buu in this line is a crime. But toy companies NEVER operate on our idea of "should come first" for a variety of reasons (some reasonable and others... just dumb). If Tamashii decides to do another tie-in, Android 21 is already a better addition to the line than Ace/Xenoverse Hero. Edit: She is pretty much the antagonist. I had forgotten about this trailer, in which 18 tells the player "you must stop 21," the text tells us to figure out what the deal is with her and 16, and has her making comments about devouring us. It was a joke, man. Good thing I didn't make a joke about assuming gender. Lol You dig, what you dig.

Hardly sexist to get excited about a female villain when the only other female main villain in the entire history of Dragon Ball was Towa (another game villain) and even then she tends to just play second fiddle to Mira. I guess the use of "bro" wasn't enough to show that I was messing around. The character might be great, and if it is, it might be a great figure to make. I was just answering why I didn't care for it right now and tried to liven things up a bit. I wouldn't mind if anyone joking about me wanting 20 Goku's...even if it wasn't true. I guess if folks are really excited to beat up a woman WEARING GLASSES, who am I to judge? Please, tell me I don't have to walk on egg shells and you got that it was a joke. Also, why would a robot need glasses? And why would it wear them in a fight?

Android 17 and 18 never wore clothes suitable for fighting until the tracksuits in Super, I guess its not unprecedented. Returning to Figuarts. Now that Tien and Yamcha have finally come out I'm not looking forward to as many releases. I WOULD be super excited for Kid Goku and Bulma... but they're weird and huge and they picked strange designs! Why Tamashii. Why. At least Yamcha finally arrived.

Dude, I'd buy the heck out of an Android 21. Cool design, female antagonist (I'm assuming obviously)... What's not to love? I don't know yet because it's just a character design. There's no character to like or dislike. Some don't have cash to blow on designs. Also, how does being a female antagonist make it something to love? Stop drinking soy milk, bro. Also, that's sexist. While I agree with wanting a female just to have a female is odd (I'd buy 21 btw), Janemba has absolutely no character and I'd buy him just for his dope ass design.

When you watch the movie, it becomes very clear everything that surrounds Janemba. I guess that what the goku dude is trying to say is that he does not get all this commotion for a character that we still do not know.

I get that he's pure concentrated evil but all he does is grunt, laugh, and yell. And he basically just wants to destroy everything. Not much going on there in terms of character.

Damn, if we were were ever going to get a random Toriyama designs, i'd probably vote for Fractos from DQH2. He kicks ass.

Or are the destined to go the same way as this: Yamcha doesn't have my vote cause he's only fighting Cell junior and C20: figures we don't and i guess we won't have. But Tien would be cool! We already have trunks with long hairs, there are just attached (i don't know the right word to use in english instead of "attached") So for me, it's not a big deal.

speaking of sdcc, id rather have armorless nappa rather than anime color manga for an sdcc (yeah yeah i know it might not be the sdcc this year) Yes great ideo, cause most oh his fights happen when he's armorless! Anyway, i know i'm late to say this, but i've just opened my Nappa, and i think he's the best Dragon Ball figuarts figure i've ever had!! Just awesome! It's fun to figure that a minor character has such a great figure when considering SSJ blue saiyans are upset!

I'd like to see Cell Saga Tien get released, if for no other reason than to get a proper freaking Chiaotzu Same with Yamcha and Puar, honestly. I speculated that as a possibility before, and it wouldn't shock me if they're planning to do that down the line.
Janemba is movie Buu. He's a carbon copy in terms of his chaotic nature, pinkish design, and the fact that he transforms from a giant fat childish creature. The only things that make him unique are some of his powers, and his design being kinda cool... but frankly he's mostly memorable because he's the antagonist in the Gogeta movie. Don't get me wrong, I like him... his design and powers put him ahead of some of the other movie villains, but in terms of character and ties to series lore (both of which 21 clearly has from the trailers alone) there's NOTHING there.
And yes, I ABSOLUTELY will buy any female character Tamashii gives us... I'll even buy that stupid Bulma they showed that I HATE because if nothing else I might be able to use it for a better custom. we have ONE female in this line so far, and between 21 in FighterZ, Vados, Mai, Kale, and Caulifla in Super, there can no longer be the "there just aren't any good female characters to do" excuse that always hung over existing characters like Bulma, Chi Chi, Videl, and Launch.

I think those early Tien and Yamcha are just like the Trunks hair and thin (1.0 body) SSG Goku - old prototypes that got re-worked and probably won't get released. Wouldn't complain if we did get them though.
