Said I might be dipping out the line but King Cold is an insta pre order.. damnit Bandai. 😂
Mecha Frieza doesn't look all that great in its current state though.

This new Kid Goku means to me that the DB line is definitely not a good seller for Bandai. After 2 years, all we got left is Goku, the hero. Wich is interesting BTW, with angry faces that the regular one didn't have. But why only for the US ? Regarding the DB classic era is not that much popular there (that's what i read several times), at least not as much as GT and Super, i'm really wondering what's the strategy here.

People have been debating this for years. Nobody wants to accept that the classic DB line is on its last legs. They’ll squeeze out a couple more figures & that’s it. Any General Blue or Android #8 fans out there are out of luck.

Congrats Tabuu, us King Cold fans are eating good. He looks like he's in scale too! Usually Tamashii doesn't make the big guys big enough but even with Frieza closer to the camera I can tell King Cold is massive. I'm hoping third parties will make him a throne and a glass of wine in the future unless Tamashii does it.

Any General Blue or Android #8 fans out there are out of luck. I agree with one exception… If there’s any truth to those rumours that Toei might be rebooting the show from Dragon Ball onwards, then it would be smart from them to hold off on Dragon Ball releases until the show is relevant again, and then pump them out as the characters become fresh again. As far as that reboot idea goes, it would be smart to preserve both DB and Z going forwards since few platforms air/stream them due to low quality and lack of widescreen, but with the amount of disinformation already spread about Super returning, I’m not really holding my breath that it’s happening either. Only way I could imagine the OG Dragon Ball figure line being profitable/popular enough to comtinue though.

Congrats Tabuu ^ ^
Definitely going to be getting King Cold at least myself, love lll it’s so cool he’s happening ^ ^
The Dragon Ball line being dead is sad but also not surprising, I feel like most of them rotted on shelves, I got my Tao Pai Pai like 6 months ago on 50% off clearance at a Barnes and Noble. I think the line had a mix of being a bit niche inherently and some bad choices that ultimately killed it. Hope we at least get a 23rd tenkaichi budokai Chi Chi at least
Honestly though I’d rather the line be dead then held off to tie into a Dragon Ball reboot because my god I don’t want that lol. I’m a Sailor Moon fan and flawed as Dragon Ball Super is I respect the hell out of it for at least telling new stories even if not always of good quality rather than just doing what Sailor Moon has been, remaking the manga panel for panel with no changes at all Dragon Ball does not need that lol
