Vegeta is overdue for some better figures in this line. It’s kind of wild that they haven’t done any versions of him battle damaged yet and they’ve used the 2.0 mold over and over. I’m holding out hope for a better Majin Vegeta when they do more Buu saga stuff!
I do really like the SS4 version of him at least.

The battle damaged Namek suit was what I was hoping to see. He really got his ass handed to him fighting Recoome.
And Mecha Frieza is cool n all but who knows if we’ll ever get Full Power Frieza now. It would’ve paired perfectly with the new SS Goku, huge missed opportunity

I’ve been saying this for years and now with the 3.0/4.0 bodies and improved face plates I’m even more hungry for it! They gotta start pumping out new Vegeta’s asap because he’s got some of the best looks in the series.

I own all of the OG DB line and I love them all. Yes my gripes are similar because I hate the scaling and oversized looks of Kid Goku, Krillin and Master Roshi. I hope one day they rerelease them all to match the DBZ scale because Goku and Krillin were literally chunky throughout half of the series, I would love to see that represented in figure form. Master Roshi rocks that same outfit in Z and I would love to add him to my other displays as well.
With that being said I don’t know why everyone is saying the OG DB line is dead. If anything this new Kid Goku rerelease proves it could be coming back. Also half of the survey is characters from it. Tamashi has stepped up their game 100x in the last few years. I think they will make future releases more enticing/accurate. Not too mention we have P Bandai now, They really can’t lose because it’s made to order. For all of us who love the OG DB stuff because I know I do it’s gonna come back at some point for sure!

Most of the comments here show that you guys don't collect all the characters from the DB classic line. I know it's "only" a few people, but still, that shows to me that this line is not a good seller. When a DBS or GT character is revealed, i see much more hype, and Bandai sees that too.
Beyond that, the reason why we have Jackie Chun, Chichi and Lunch, but not Yamcha/Puerh and Oolong is still a mystery. My idea is that Bandai had in mind to keep some big characters for later and trying then to make us bying some minors characters before. I guess they fear that if we have immediatly all the big charachters, we could drop the line after that and having no interest for minors. I don't like that strategy because what happened is, i guess, that those minors were bad sellers, and Bandai eventually decided to drop the line.

It’s what they've done for a lot of their lines. It’s the reason we still haven’t got Kid Buu. It’s a bit annoying, but it’s something they have to do. If they gave us everything in one go, we’d all have stopped collecting years ago. I think we’ll see more DB figures at some stage. There’s still some I would definitely buy and that I think would sell well. We definitely need at least Goku and Chi Chi from the 23rd world tournament and obviously Yamcha’s a glaring omission.

It wouldn’t be the first time Tamashii has abandoned a line (MMX, King of Fighters, Pokémon, Street Fighter, Mario Bros, etc.)
Also, I believe more people would’ve bought Tao Pai Pai had Demoniacal Fit followed through on their promise of making the Cyborg Tao add-on parts

A couple of years ago tamashii was realeasing 2-3 figures a month. That was impossible to keep up, so I gave up on DB and started to slow down on DBS.

I focus mostly on Z myself because that's where most of my favourite characters came from in the franchise, including #1 lol
