But...but...but 17 has separate scarves and it's not really raising his price. It just makes no sense that they can't include at least a green vest piece, which is like the equivalent in plastic as the two scarves.

They don't do full alternate outfits, but they do occasionally include more additional pieces for altered outfits outside the Dragon Ball line. So I'll agree on the green half shirt at least.They could easily include a sash piece that slides over his chest snuggly to prevent paint rub. Even less in regards to 17's extra scarf though, that half shirt is just as easy to include as Piccolo and Gohan's cape.
And in the case of the latter, Tenshinhan's green shirt is even more warranted than Gohan's cape, as Gohan literally did nothing worthwhile when wearing it. If they wanted to save plastic, they could have easily excluded it. Some of us would have complained that he didn't come with it, but most of us wouldn't have really cared. A really good portion of the fans at the beginning of this line mostly wanted him because he was a highly articulated Gohan with a SS2 head and were going to keep the cape off anyway.

So my Android 18 came in the mail from Barnes and Noble. The box is pretty damaged in the upper left corner and for a collector like me, boxes are important. Unfortunately B&N is out of stock of Android 18 and the best they could do was refund me $5.00. I guess that's better than nothing. Not very excited about how that all ended up. Good thing I got it at a steep discount using littlegreen 's coupon code suggestion.

A while ago I got 2 Dragon Ball Z "In Color" Manga books and they were damaged beyond belief. The pages were bent, there were tears on the corners etc. They sent me a new set though so I guess it's all good.

My 18 didn't have the scratch on her face like others here had. I guess that's a silver lining.

The possibility that Tien and Yamcha will be based after their Cell saga appearance rather the Saiyan saga is high, due to fact that most of the releases were a Cell saga line up. I think that most likely that the sash will be sculpted on to Tien's torso rather than being a loose piece.
Tamashii don't have a issue to accessorize, include extra parts etc, esspically with the DB line up, usually include five face plate oopose to figma standard of 2-3 faces. And alwyays many other parts. Even if the cost of manufacturing, molds, sculpting process etc will rise, it is part of the standard of those products. But they are not prominent to give out a full alternate look like this, it would benefit them more to have a opportunity to release of the same character again in most cases.

From a pure business mindset, I would think the chances of Tamashi making a Tien is almost completely dependent on the market successes/failures of other supporting characters. The character that best fits this profile in the line at the moment is Krillen. Seeing how his price has stuck around $40 for a while now, he must not be that popular of a seller :/ Maybe we should support supporting characters if we want to see more supporting characters? This has been a public service announcement
