I am not getting this Broly unless I get him on sale. The proportions look wrong to me. Small head, big chest and hands, long arms. I dont know, I hoped it would look better.

I see they've decided to release Broly... hopefully I'm wrong on Cheelai and Lemo. Oddly enough, there was nothing about him on Tamashii's Instagram. I don't know if they've said anything on him anywhere else, but he's already up on "Premium" BANDAI as of now. So, why is this one a "Premium" BANDAI Exclusive exactly? The name for p-Bandai is a really bad choice because they don’t use it for anything that’s particularly nice, it just takes the place of web exclusives. I’m sure it’s so when they do web exclusive releases they can take all the profits instead of the web shops that would sell these before p-Bandai existed. All web exclusives and p-Bandai releases are just open pre-orders, so the number of figures ordered is the number of figures that exist, and no additional runs will be produced. At least that’s my understanding, which could be totally wrong lol. Basically I’m saying it’s not a premium release(nor is anything sold on that site) Bandai is just selling it as a web exclusive because they don’t think the demand will be there for this figure or whatever other reason.

Huh I would’ve thought Broly would be a retail release. I feel like he’s the sort of character they’d do one for He looks great though I’m really excited to get him ^ ^ (and Pan, I still need to preorder her lol). Surprised we’re getting him before Orange Piccolo or Beast Gohan, not a bad thing at all just a surprise lol Hopefully Chelai and Lemo are still coming I really like both of them I’d love to have figures lol. I don’t think the 2014/15 cancellations/unreleased prototypes are an indicator of things one way or another at this point. I don’t think they even made Nappa till, what 2017? And now we’re at a point where they’re making 3rd form Freeza and we have figures of the entirety of the Ginyu force and Zarbon and Dodoria lol. Stuff like Buuhan is inevitable at this point lol. Even the prototypes we’ve seen recently that have been in limbo like Base Vegeta, Android saga Yamcha, and ToP Roshi seem to have just been lost in the shuffle of namek and movie releases and are still probably coming eventually. Though I do get Chelai and Lemo being questionable of whether they’ll actually release though, they’re probably the most minor characters the line has done? All the others are like, villains who fight at least. I still really want them though lol I rambled a lot sorry Agreed! Not that you ramble, but your considered with your thoughts! If only there was a forum we could go to to hyper analyze Dragon Ball Figures... I actually have more hope for figures like Buuhan and Buutenks now that the line has progressed. Over the years since they showed those off they've made a large point to make figured like Great Saiyaman, Mr. Satan, and Broly with multiple different forms and features within the one release, so hopefully they would merge Buuhan/Buutenks into one big ol' release. And yeah I think Vegeta and Yamcha recently showed back up at one of the most recent showings! I do hope they bring ToP Roshi out once they're finished with the Super Super Hero drops. There's certainly a lot more than I expected this time around! I am not getting this Broly unless I get him on sale. The proportions look wrong to me. Small head, big chest and hands, long arms. I dont know, I hoped it would look better. I'll likely pick up Chelai and Lemo, which it seems likely now that they drop, but I don't know about the Broly. I agree that the proportions look funky, there's barely anything to do with the figure outside of have him watch Goku and Vegeta, and knowing Toriyama, they'll likely change his design for the next movie. But.... they're doing a "Build-a-Gohan" figure with the releases for this movie though, and the marketing is working on me.

I cry in front of my figures every other day so I guess it’s fair to have a crying Broly stare at me for once

Those big, Incredible Hulk looking open hands sure look odd to me in the crying photo. I don't have any intention of buying that Broly figure, but I sure think it's weird that he has that crying face with the tears flowing. I understand it was a scene from the movie, but it looks like a waste of a face to me. If it didn't have the river of tears... it'd be better.
I haven't brought this up before, but I think it's awfully unfortunate that a new Goku, Vegeta, and Broly were made for this movie, despite the fact that those characters basically had no importance to the movie, and were just involved in filler scenes. Hedo and Magenta were much more important to the movie than any of them.

Disappointed that Broly is getting a super hero release tbh..he was in the movie for all of a few seconds. Maybe he's going to appear in a new arc with the same outfit, who knows.

Wellll technically that version of Broly was in the previous movie too, he was wearing that black shirt on Frieza’s starship if you recall… so I see it as a win-win

Does Figuarts distinguish between Super Saiyan Vegeta and Super Vegeta at all? The last release (though it was still called Super Saiyan Vegeta, not Super Vegeta) had the "I am Super Vegeta" face and pose and this one doesn't seem to. Or is that supposed to be the bottom of the three faces shown above?

I’m sure some of the internal engineering has been tweaked a little bit but aside from the paint differences it’s essentially a re-release. A battle damaged Namek Vegeta would’ve been the better choice imo
