Someday I will get SDCC goku and ss vegeta. For now I can deal with the manga goku and Datong vegeta. I always tell myself that someday there will be someone or a store out there that know nothin about the $$ value of these figures. I didn't know jacksdo and Datong are different company?also a seller from eBay in hongkong told me about ss2 being in the process. When I get a chance I'll ask him again about ss2 goku. He also told me about ss3 goku head (jacksdo) before they even release him That's how I got Super Saiyan 3 Goku. It was still pricey but it was no where near what people on eBay were selling him for. You may have that luck with Super Saiyan Vegeta, you never know. I thought all the bootlegs were from the same company until I read more about it. Really? That sounds like a solid source if they mentioned Super Saiyan 3 Goku head before it was released.

I also learned about this line back in January, but I really didn't want to pay the crazy money some of them where going for. I waited until a lot with all of them popped up on eBay and I manged to get all of them without boxes for $750. At the time the boxes weren't a big issue for me, but I realized how much more value the boxes do add to these figuarts.
Then again I decided to wait for another full lot, but this time with brown and original boxes. I was able to pick one up all new around April for $700!!!

You didnt want to pay the crazy prices so you spent $1400 all together? lol... Those are the craziest prices I can imagine. Regardless that's cool, but still. Not everyone has that much $$ to play with.

Yeah it's a large sum of money, but at the end each figure I got ended up being around $60 which I'm okay with since I can pretty much make all my money back by selling them. Although I doubt I'll ever sell them.

It's official. After seeing 17's multiple scarves....they can make Tien shirtless and include a snap on green vest and white SLEEVELESS shirt/tank top. All they have to do is include another set of arms that has WHITE SLEEVES only (so articulation isn't sacrificed with a whole shirt piece) Then make sure the "clip on" peg is ON HIS BACK, NOT HIS CHEST like 17 has..... Then voila! You can have 4 different Tiens in one. A Saiyan/Frieza Saga Tien (shirtless), a Trunks Saga Tien (white tank top), and Androids Saga Tien (green vest), and a Cell Games Saga Tien (with white tank top and white sleeves arms). It only requires one extra set of arms and two shirt pieces, just like 17 has. They've done it once and they can do it again. Then give him a couple faces (yelling, serious, smiling) and a few sets of hands (Solar Flare, Tri-beam, open-posed hands, and fists). It's absolutely the most perfect idea. If they don't do this, I will raise hell. I'm not a Figuart collector, but I want Tien. Even if he doesn't come with Chiaotzu... Got to post that idea on their FB page. You should too! Branjita...Oh and 17 is freakin sick. They actually made his shirt BLACK. I'm tempted...

I posted this in the 17 thread as well and wanted everyone to see it. I think it's such a good and affordable idea.
Tien should be made shirtless and include a snap on green vest and white SLEEVELESS shirt/tank top. All they have to do is include another set of arms that has WHITE SLEEVES only (so articulation isn't sacrificed with a whole shirt piece) Then make sure the "clip on" peg is ON HIS BACK, NOT HIS CHEST like 17 has.....
Then you can have 4 different Tiens in one. A Saiyan/Frieza Saga Tien (shirtless), a Trunks Saga Tien (white tank top), and Androids Saga Tien (green vest), and a Cell Games Saga Tien (with white tank top and white sleeves arms). It only requires one extra set of arms and two shirt pieces, just like 17 has. They've done it once and they can do it again. Then give him a couple faces (yelling, serious, smiling) and a few sets of hands (Solar Flare, Tri-beam, open-posed hands, and fists). It's not asking for anything extra and the 17 figure is proof enough.
Lets see if Bandai is really watching us and reading what we say. If I can come up with a very do-able idea, then so can they.

I still think that 18 looks better, but to each their own. Adrenaline, as cool as that would be... I don't see any shirt pieces happening. Thus far, none of the DBZ figures have come with the ability to recreate different outfits (even though it would have been insanely easy with Vegeta). The closest we have is the removable capes on Piccolo and Gohan. It would be cool, but I doubt that would ever happen.

I think it's doable only because it won't cost much and I don't think tien is a very popular character anyhow. There will be No need for them to milk the character with different versions like they did with goku.

The reason I even mentioned it was because of 17....they're giving him two scarves with a clip on peg on his chest...there's absolutely no reason Tien can't have two of his own shirt accessories with a peg on his back, so it isn't viewable on his shirtless chest. Then a 2nd set of arms (like everyone has) with white sleeves. It's genius, yet so easy for them to do.

It seems like a lot of extra work for something they know you (Tien Fans) will buy regardless of what outfit he has.

I don't really know why they wouldn't do it, when they did multiple bandanas for 17. Honestly, I don't think that's something anybody has ever wished for, but they were cool enough to design and include multiple ones. I would have thought they would have just included 1.
Them including alternate hair for 17 and 18 gives me hope that if/when they make Yamcha, both of his important hair styles will be included. They could throw in Buu Saga hair, but I could live without it.

Maybe. Bandai is a pretty innovative company so I have no doubt they could pull something off like that but, even better. I remember they were doing some crazy stuff with their model car kits back in the day!
