Just a little while longer. We've been waiting since July. It'll all be worth it! Do you think the line is dead after Majin Buu? :/ No, I don't think so. I hope not, at least. Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Super Saiyan Trunks were in 2015, Super Saiyan Vegeta 2016, and Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Super Buu for 2017. So it may be awhile before they announce the next release but maybe they'll have a prototype reveal at SDCC or even during their World Tour. I'm going to the event in New York City at the end of the month and one of my questions will be where the future of this and the Figuarts Zero line are heading. We haven't seen a release from the regular Figuarts Zero for awhile.

While I think the new SS3 Goku looks great... I rue the loss of Tien and Yamcha. Curse you Tamashii for inspiring false hope. The hope is still there. 3 out of the 6 prototypes that were displayed at Tamashii Nations 2016 have been given a scheduled release date. The odds are pretty good for Tien, Yamcha, and Gotenks. The latter I could easily see being announced after Super Saiyan 3 Goku. Cool, SSJ3 Goku, I can live with that! Like many others have said, the original sucks, so it's one of the few figures I never picked up. Also, if we can swap the head with the awakening ver. we get an updated Cell saga Goku which is sweet!"+ tax" also denotes that this will be a regular release and not a webshop exclusive, so should be a lot cheaper than nappa! That's if Tamashii Nations will let the head be removable. I don't believe the original Super Saiyan 3 Goku head is removable.

I just realized that tomorrow is April's fools.... so does that mean if we happen to see Tien and Yamcha on Shonen's Calendar it could be a joke? Majin Vegeta would be a better choice.

I'm surprised Piccolo doesn't seem to be on Figure-Rise's radar for awhile.

Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Super Saiyan Blue Vegito are scheduled for August I thought there was a regular ssj Vegetto too, but i can't find pictures of it. I believe I made a mistake on the pairing. Super Saiyan Blue Vegito is with Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black and Super Saiyan Vegito is with Super Saiyan Blue Goku. I was excited about this but the bangs seem to be a little too far over than in the middle.

If Gotenks is being released, I can definitely see it coincide with a Super Buu figure. Gotenks would be my SSj3 Goku's right hand man in my display (literally)... *Timmy's dad voice* IF I HAD ONE! Ahem. Anyway, is it weird that I want a GT Goten, of all things?Not at all. I actually want a Dragon Ball GT/Heroes Gotenks. You know what I just realized? We don't have a Mr. Satan figure! Why in the name of Shenron do we not have a Mr. Satan figure!?! He's the savior of the universe GDI, he needs to be represented. Mr. Satan will most likely be paired with Fat Buu. When we see either one of them, I imagine the other to be revealed as well.

Very cool looking effect piece for Android 17. As good as that Time machine looks with the shading and all, I doubt it would be the same once released. The earlier space pod release had the same shading style in pics but the final product turned out to be just a white ball. The cell insect like caccoon piece is a surprising addition, got a nice size to it too which means that for every Figure Rise Mechanics there's going to be a accessory included. So cool. None of these releases will come with shading. They provide a color guide on the back of the instructions if the collector wants to paint the figure for a more life-like finish. I've been very tempted to do it seeing how amazing a lot of them look with paint application.

And that would be fine, if he had exhibited any personality beyond "I'm a meathead sidekick." Don't get me wrong, I never disliked him... he served the story purpose he was created to, demolishing the Z-fighters and being a punching bag for Goku. He just... didn't have much longevity beyond that. I'll put it this way: There have been what if scenarios where Raditz has lost his memory and has fought with Goku and the others, or has fought with Bardock. Those what ifs happen because there is untapped potential for stories with the character, because of his familial connections. Nappa just... doesn't. He has no background beyond "I'm a saiyan elite warrior," no connection to anyone except Vegeta (who thinks so little of Nappa that Vegeta murders him), and aside from a few flashbacks, we don't ever see him again. I took that more as Saiyan culture where a broken Saiyan should be put out of their misery because they don't have the ability to fight anymore.

Hey timone317, I saw your post on Toyark about Nappa and was wondering why you think Nappa doesn't have a stoic face? I've yet to see one. There's a cocky grin, charging yell, and the shocked/"over 900" face but no head with a plain expression. checking again, it seems the product page mentions 3 replacement faces, maybe they just haven't shown off the normal face. If so, great. Yeah, I noticed the official product details says 3x interchangeable heads. I know a few previous releases mentioned more faces in the description but never showed them. So hopefully we'll get that stoic face.

how long will we get a buu? why must they make us wait so long for the last villain of dbz Probably once Tamashii Nations focuses on the Buu Saga which, hopefully, would be relatively soon since it's airing on Toonami. Depending on the prototype-to-releases, Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Super Saiyan Gotenks may very well be the next announced.

Yeah, I didn't think there had been any recent ones. There haven't which is really weird. They had Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku, Golden Frieza, Raditz, and Bardock prototypes. Adam Newman gave the impression that they were going to continue the line so I'll have to ask him the future of it in New York.

I prefer the manga colors on some characters but Nappa definitely isn't one of them. I always liked how his anime colors helped him match with Vegeta. To me it made sense for them to match because Vegeta being the prince wore royal colors so it sort of made sense for his partner to wear them as well. In the manga he shares the same armor colors as Raditz which makes him look very generic and unimportant. What importance did he hold other than being a survivor of a dead race?
