Tamashii Nations will release any and all transformations of Goku with the appropriate hair sculpting.
As for Majin Vegeta, seeing it in person with the Super (Saiyan) Vegeta head mold didn't give me much pause. The volume of it looked great on the body. I would prefer more striations in the hair sculpt but if this is the final product I'd be very happy with the outcome. You never know, this was a prototype and could change.
For Super Saiyan God Goku, he did have the older body arms which will make him look thinner in comparison to the newer Goku releases. I still prefer the original prototype sculpting though. I wouldn't be surprised if Tamashii Nations reuses the head mold for an updated normal Goku. I don't believe there was much difference between them in the art.

Look at the God Goku carefully in this picture (courtesy of ToyArk). Now look at the SSj3 Goku in this picture. You'll notice that the arms aren't quite the same. SSj God Goku is actually skinnier than SSj3. It is accurate, but only if you pay careful attention. DB Super did kinda make him look a little buffer than BoG did. I believe the difference is the older Goku arm molds compared to the Super Warrior Awakening Goku arm molds. I'd have to go home and check them exactly but you could tell in person that Super Saiyan God Goku's arm were smaller than Super Saiyan 3 Goku's arms.

Android Saga is arguably Yamcha and Tien's most popular Dragon Ball Z showing so it'll be awhile for them to release Saiyan Saga attires. If they sell well, Tamashii Nations won't think twice about sculpting a bare chest for Tien and a longer hair sculpt for Yamcha. Simple alterations for brand new releases.

No specific release dates will be given at the World Tour Event unless somebody asks for information from the people in charge and they're willing to reveal them.

Tien and Yamcha will more than likely be there. Hopefully Yamcha's head sculpt will be updated. What happen to Yamcha's head? Both Yamcha an Ten looked fine to me. Goku SSJ3 had the weird face but luckily they fixed that. Man i really hope they update Goku SSJ4 with the new articulations when it's realeased. Hair lacked any depth or detail, the forehead was too long, and the scars needed to stand out more. It's strange, for some reason they do an amazing job on the hair mold for Ace (Time Patroller) but can't seem to nail it down for Ultimate Gohan or Yamcha. All Regular Releases and Web Exclusives from now on will incorporate the new articulation. No need to worry.

Shonen Jump Calendar working for anybody? It works fine, but only updates on the first of the month in Japan. On this Sunday evening we should see an update. Can you post the link? Every time I try to type it in, it won't find the website. Edited: Nevermind, it's working on my laptop.

Yes! Also, Super Saiyan Blue Goku was shown to be out in September or somewhere near there.

They aren't unjustified in using that mold, but neither am I unjustified in disliking that mold and not wanting to buy it.Nobody has argued otherwise. Tamashii Nations has heard the backlash of continuously re-using the old, outdated mold for character releases in the main line that consists of Regular Releases and Web Exclusives which is why we'll never see this mold re-used for either of those types of releases.

I would prefer that any and all limited exclusives, specifically those that are more limited than web exclusives, continue to use the older molds. If this were an updated mold, Tamashii Nations would lose out on a lot of potential profit, which could be put towards the budget for future upgrades and releases, by severly limiting the collectors the opportunity to obtain the product. Idk I don't see how not using the 2.0 really saves them a lot of money. I'm sure they make plenty of profit already and using outdated molds has no real purpose. For this release they simply saw an opportunity to reuse Namek Goku and call it Kaioken. If we eventually get a 2.0, none of this would matter but because it's probably gonna be a one time deal, it's a bummer. I'm all about supporting a line and all but a little extra effort could've been used to make a better overall release. There's no advantage in putting a little extra effort in a World Tour Exclusive that Tamashii Nations is making available for those who attend. It's a smart business decision to re-use a pre-existing mold for a very limited release that does no affect the line. It's used to supply a small market and make a profit for the company.

Back in the day I would've been 100% on board with this figure. It's the perfect choice for an exclusive since it's very much an optional release for collectors. Only thing I don't like about it is that they used the old body. It needs to be phased out already and the 2.0 upgraded body would've made this great release an excellent one. That said I'll still get it but hopefully one day we get a 2.0 of this since it will be a stand out figure amongst the newer ones I would prefer that any and all limited exclusives, specifically those that are more limited than web exclusives, continue to use the older molds. If this were an updated mold, Tamashii Nations would lose out on a lot of potential profit, which could be put towards the budget for future upgrades and releases, by severly limiting the collectors the opportunity to obtain the product.

Super Saiyan 3 Goku would be the ideal gateway to a Buu Saga focus for Tamashii Nations. I believe the Buu Saga will take over a year to air on Toonami and that gives Tamashii a lot of time to release Super Saiyan 2 Goku, Gotenks, Kid Trunks, Goten, any form of Majin Buu, and since he's proven to Tamashii Nations that he's a top seller, all transformations of Vegeta. (Normal, Demon Prince/Majin, and Super Saiyan 2.) (Personally, I would like to see Supreme Kai.) Tamashii Nations can skip the Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, and Universe 6 Tournament arcs and put their focus on Future Trunks arc releases when that eventually airs on Toonami which will take about a year from the 1st episode air date. These guys are capable of releasing Vermouth or Monaka before Yamcha or Ten. I personally would prefer Goku SSJ4, since he's my most wanted figure of the collection they had ssj4 proto revealed for how long now ? Tamashii Nations 2014 was the initial reveal and Tamashii Nations 2015 revealed updates. The more updates, the better. I have no problem waiting for the best possible product. Tien already has the updated lower half for Super Saiyan 4 Goku so all they need to do is drill a hole in the back with some tear added around it and paint it differently. I'm hoping the torso will also be updated. It looks good but it could certainly be better. Ideally, very similar to Super Warrior Awakened Goku's torso and even arm molds.

No release date for the time machine yet? Not yet but I believe the Time Machine, Krillin, and Super Saiyan Vegeta have been advertised as the next releases. I would say expect that to fill out the end of Summer/beginning of Fall schedule. Maybe sooner.
