I'm super-happy. Dodoria just arrived this morning! Superb figure. Can't wait to also have Zarbon!

People are roasting Tamashii on insta. Several comments are “Terrible release. Still waiting on Android 13, Tapion, Janemba, etc.” while others are saying “this is waaaaay overpriced.” Come on guys, did y’all expect them to price it at $60 USD? Large characters are going to cost you. If you’re waiting for a Great Ape Baby Vegeta or Gold Oozaru but then get mad when it costs $170, well what did you think it was going to cost? Collecting SH Figuarts has ALWAYS been expensive. The OG Shenron was pricey too. This should be common knowledge by now. That’s why I pick & choose which characters to get & which ones to skip. Porunga won’t break my bank account, all I have to do is set aside $40 out of my paycheck every week & it would be paid for when it’s released.
Not knocking anyone that are opting out, but the “it’s too expensive” excuse is kinda funny to me because when you add everything up we’ve all already spent thousands of dollars on our collections (not to mention detolfs & display cases, risers, stage act 4 stands, lights, AND dioramas) for all these characters but $180 is just way too much for Porunga. But hey, to each their own.

Where the hell are the event exclusive reveals? 🤔
I don't think Porunga is too expensive in the sense that it's not worth the money. He's very much worth it, it looks super cool. The ratio of how expensive it is compared to how much I care about the character just doesn't align though.
If I do get him, I'll probably wait until he goes up for pre-order on UK sites that don't charge up front.i can put money aside every month that way..I don't care enough about Porunga to instantly be laying down ÂŁ250 all at once.

I just bit the bullet and ordered him. I know I'm going to regret it down the line if I miss out on him even though I'm not super excited for Porunga right now.

But hey, to each their own. As much as I get your point, I think it's not that simple. They could make him the same way they did with Shenron, which was released as a regular version and the price was 9500 yen. Porunga is a tamashii web release and costs 26000 yen. I mean, the base, Dende, lights and sound effects weren't that necessary imo, and they all raised the price of the figure. Maybe in the US it's easier to get, but tamashii web and bigger figures are way more expensive and they come with much less quantities here in Brazil. It will cost at least 1 and a half to 2 minimun wages by month here.

Porunga and Dende should be sold separatedly. But it is what it is.
I hope they announce the last 2 namek figures soon.

Really hope we're getting Namek Vegeta. The line up really is missing Vegeta.
I feel like the last slot could be a re-working of awakening Goku but with the blue shirt. It could come with a base head. There wasn't a Goku when they were asking opinions on the last two slots though.
I'd be hoping for a full power Frieza.

Kiwi and Nail were in the pool, but I doubt they will release Kiwi. I hope it is Vegeta and Nail.

Just opened Dodo to check him out.
He's MASSIVE, holy cow! He makes even BURTER look like a pansy! But I love them both!

I always felt the last figure in the 2nd wave of the Namek Saga would either be Vegeta in the upgraded armour or Frieza's 2nd Form since they would pair with the Armoured Gohan and Krillin.

I'd take a Frieza Form 2 any day.

Full Power Frieza would also be great to see. It would pair great with a shirtless SS Goku but I’m just kinda tired of buying Goku’s. I feel like the Super Warrior Awakening Goku will suffice. The Navy Blue uniform Vegeta would be cool to see. Or Transformed Zarbon.
Freezer 2nd form would be an amazing feat, but it will be expensive since it’s a large figure & will come with little to no accessories (I know that sounds hypocritical but hear me out lol). 2 sets of hands (open palms, closed fists, maybe a “pointing finger” hand) a smirking face, a yelling face, that’s it. At least $80 for that*. Same with 3rd form. I know Porunga is expensive but, it’s Porunga. And it comes with features. There was no way it was going to be cheap.
*and if you save up another $80, you’d be more than halfway to afford Porunga 🤩 i know I’m pushing you guys hard but I’m trying to convince y’all because I don’t want it to bomb & then Tamashii will see there’s no interest in releasing larger items anymore. There are no “multiple forms” of Porunga. It is a unique piece I feel I have to support it. It’s costly but I think it will be worth every penny. I’ve bought figures that cost more than what they were worth & was disappointed [with quality control, lack of accessories, shading, etc.] I don’t feel like Porunga will be disappointing once I have it in hand.

So with your hunch about larger figures, I guess I can kiss my dream character goodbye. Dang.
