Can you imagine if they made Raditz with too short of hair? I hope that doesn't happen. Unfortunately, given then their somewhat sloppy attention to details (specifically measurements), this just might happen.

What magnificence!! I am shocked at how amazing he looks like! For a second there, one might think that the close up on his face is of a real human!! Yes, the introduction of this line was unnecessary and yes his hair is a tad too short but this, to me is a true masterpiece. Even though I don't need him but if I can find him for $40-45 (highly unlikely) I'll be the first in line getting him. I hope he's not a tamashii web exclusive.

I think articulated hair more advanced than Sailor Mars' could accomplish everything hopefully. But if it can't, then some alternate pieces would be good. Anybody think it's kind of unusual that almost everything at Bluefin's NYCC display is DBZ, 3 Godzilla figures, and 4 DC comics figures? No Sailor Moon stuff or Power Rangers. Is it possible that the DBZ line is really doing THAT well? I don't know. If it was, I think we would have seen Tien and Yamcha by now. I mean, they're taking a risk with Android 16....and Tien is less risky. It's one of the biggest mysteries in Dragonball lore; the scarcity of Tien and Yamcha.

This was just uploaded onBluefin's page: It looks like something you would put in a cigar lounge I seriously don't expect him to sell for less than $70

angelo2113, I don't understand your post. Why would Raditz's head have to be removable from his hair? The removable faces work perfectly well for Vegeta and SS3 Goku. Branjita, I don't think that means the DBZ line is that popular. It just means it's popular in the United States.

I would disagree about Tien being less risky than Android 16 at the moment. If they come out with Yamcha first, then Tien would be less risky. Since Android 18 and Android 17 are released, Android 16 is highly desired to complete the trio. It's actually the one grouping Tamashii has done correctly, especially in regards to when they're released. Broly seems to determine that Tamashii is catering more to the Western Market. Don't the Japanese fans find Broly to be a joke or something?

That is a very nice representation of SSJ3 Goku, but looks like a copy of the Ichiban Kuji one. Don't get me wrong, both have their own style but the overall sculpt of the body is pretty much the same, his face/eyes are looking to the same position, the orientation of his boots is exactly the same and the pegs are the same. This Figuarts EX looks more detailed in the clothing and the hair, with some nice shadows. I would have prefered that his clothes were more yellowish though. And he looks pretty big, what's for sure it's it will not be Figuarts Zero size. It would be very cool if Bandai makes this as a new line and releases some characters I'm missing in my collection, so I have more to choose, not only Banpresto. I love my Ichiban Kuji Goku SSJ3 veeeeeery much, but I can't deny this one looks very nice too, and I will be tracking it to see the final result.

So Takezo, you thinking about getting it or are you not so interested?

Branjita, I don't think that means the DBZ line is that popular. It just means it's popular in the United States. I suppose if they follow this drawing they'll be able to make removable faces rather than need to make removable heads... Even the other pictures showed there could be a seam that could be used.

If I like it more than the Ichiban Kuji figure I have, I would plan to get it and sell mine, most probably. Ah, I forgot that it has to be around the same size, if it's waay bigger then I'm not interested.
