Wow, they look a lot better than I had imagined. I didn't expect Goku's hair to have that sort of paint application. I'm digging them a lot.

I'm honestly not sure what Super characters would make it, but I guess Black and Trunks would be a very likely candidates. I put Goku in there because I'm sure they're not going leave him out of it. He is the most popular character after all. It seems Tamashii Nations is pairing releases so I imagine Champa and Vados are next. They've had prototypes for almost a year. Hopefully Tamashii Nations updated them even if it's only slightly. Hit was the break-out character in the Universal Tournament with Cabba coming 2nd. (I would assume both of them are more popular than Frost but I do remember he was very talked about.) Future Trunks and Black would be ideal pairing releases. It would be a great time to release Super Saiyan God Goku since Beerus is released. Maybe around the time for the 1st reissue for Beerus.

I doubt were getting a Majin Vegeta anytime soon. I'm hoping for a new Scouter Vegeta, it's also more likely since there's a Nappa 2.0 floating around. So next year we will probably get the following: Gohan SSJ2 Cell PC Tien Yamcha Nappa armored Vegeta (Scouter) Piccolo Battle Damaged Goku base form(new mold) I'm not sure why but I feel like this line-up is very likely because it's going to cater to the new and old collectors. As much as I like that line-up, it doesn't have any Dragon Ball Super releases. 2017 is going to be balanced with Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Z releases. So maybe Super Saiyan (2) Son Gohan, Premium Color Perfect Cell, Tien, Nappa, and then Dragon Ball Super releases like Hit, Future Trunks, and Black. Edited: There has to be a Goku release in there. After I re-read that line-up, I don't think most of them would make potentially good/high sales for Tamashii Nations.

So, who else thinks that the next battle damaged figure should be Majin vegeta? And the following year for sdcc maybe that same vegeta but gray? (Stone when he killed himself) I think the next one will be Piccolo. They seem to be doing the Top 5 characters and the only one missing is Piccolo. I'm really looking forward to that because, since Super Saiyan (2) Son Gohan is anime colors, I'm hoping Piccolo will be as well.

angelo2113 Do you think they will aprove the Goku SSJ4 figure? I'm in love with this one I honestly have a hard time thinking it wouldn't be approved after the attention that Tamashii Nations made with its reveal. It could be waiting approval because it's still in the early stages of its prototype development because I was very surprised they revealed an unpainted prototype. The sculpt itself is absolutely stunning but I can't even imagine the potential it will have once the paint application is completed. The Figuarts Zero EX line was developed and aimed towards collectors who enjoy higher end products and this would be the perfect example of that.

Somebody who talked to Adam Newman said that it doesn't exist at the moment. So I don't know if d_amazing was lying or Adam Newman is keeping it secret. While I'm not calling either a flat out liar, d_amazing doesn't have reason to lie really outside of self-promotion, but why stir that pot when he could have left it with just Tien/Yamcha? Adam however has brand relations to think of, and saying that he doesn't have a prototype of Nappa doesn't mean that one doesn't exist. It could just be side stepping the issue. I didn't read that though so I don't know what kind of phrasing/context there was. That is decidedly not awesome to read though. :sigh: It's a strange situation. I get both sides to what you're saying. I'm waiting for Tamashii Nations 2016 in October to see what has more weight to it because I imagine, if there is a Nappa prototype, it will be revealed there along with Tien and Yamcha. While I don't see him purposely stirring the pot, I'm not sure exactly what connections d_amazing has with Bandai/Tamashii Nations to even see a Nappa prototype in the first place though. If it were at SDCC, I would think that it would be mistakenly displayed with Tien and Yamcha on Preview Night.

Oh. When I met Chris Sabat at Dallas Comic Con in June, he was telling me this theory, and he was taking ownership of it as his theory that Puar and Chaozu are figments of Tien and Yamcha's imaginations. I think I have me meeting him and him talking about this on video, but I don't have it on youtube to share it. I'll have to add it some other time if you really want to see it. I doubt you do, but just thought I'd mention it. Nah, I've seen Sabat take ownership of the joke. I'm just saying that it's now a running joke among them. Who created the joke originally doesn't make it less prevalent among the cast though. I'm really excited that a new Nappa apparently exists. I just wish they would have shown him off. Even if it was a preview night mix up to show Tien/Yamcha, why couldn't they 'accidentally' show Nappa too. Also I love that they have the GEOMETRY hands for Tien! I mean, they are kind of required, but I wouldn't have been that surprised if they didn't include them. I'm a little jaded I guess though. Somebody who talked to Adam Newman said that it doesn't exist at the moment. So I don't know if d_amazing was lying or Adam Newman is keeping it secret.

Ideally, an angry mob outside Tamashii Nations headquarters for these figures should mostly contain Yamcha, Tien, and Goddammit Nappa supporters. At the forefront should be Wave , ◄VR► , Branjita , and myself. Who's with me?! Tamashii Nations knows who we've been demanding. Voice your opinion to them on Social Media.

So, I'm happy if I get the RoS Goku. I will assess my views on this figure later. But what I've seen looks the figure really great. Not like some figures of SC6! But whether this figure can keep up with the SSJ Goku (SC5), I do not know! Because this piece (with Bardock (SC5) together) is one of my favorite figure of the Scultures line. What does the future hold? What will be better? Scultures or RoS figures? We will see. SCultures 5 did a great job with variety (even though 5 out of the 6 were Saiyans), design, and sculpt work. I hope Banpresto doesn't ask the collectors which characters to choose and/or which prototypes to choose and then end up releasing them all along with "prototype variants." They tried something new with SCultures 6 and, to me, it wasn't successful.

I'm intrigued about when or if Tamashii Nations will come through on their Dragon Ball Super post. Considering the Tien or Yamcha post ended up with both prototypes appearing at SDCC maybe we might see one of the universe 6 prototypes sometime by the end of next year? Hit all the way. I enjoyed the other characters, some more than others, but Hit can easily be paired up with Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku. I already have display plans for them. I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop Hit's prototype. I would like to see the softer plastic, that's used for the Star Wars line, for Hit's attire. I think that would create more articulation/poseable options. Do we really need characters from the universe 6 tournament? Im gonna be pissed if i see them. I could understand if they make Black and Trunks because of their popularity, but unless we see those characters return i think its too late to see them. I believe we do. Dragon Ball Super, the most current material, is leading up to the Multiversal Tournament and I think it would be great for Tamashii Nations and collectors to have products to represent that. This line is going to take patience from collectors. I certainly want releases from Dragon Ball, Z, and GT but the best we can do at the moment is voice our opinion of what we want and allow Tamashii Nations to make the scheduling decisions.

Sadly we did not see a prototype for Dimension of DRAGONBALL SSJ Vegeta but we got something even better. Megahouse unveiled a new D.O.D line. It is called Dimension of DRAGONBALL Over Ddive. Here we see battle damaged Super Saiyan Goku doing his signature move- the Kamehameha Wave! We have been asking for more dynamic poses with the D.O.D figures and our wish has been granted! This figure is scheduled for a 2017 release Really looking forward to this line! As much as I like D.o.D.s, the one thing that bothered me was they weren't dynamic. For some characters it works but I would like to see more variety.

Yall getting excited of a figuarts zero? What happened to the shfiguarts version, I really hope they didnt cancel him to make a figuarts zero verzion. Super Saiyan Vegeta and Future Trunks both received a S.H. Figuarts release and a Figuarts Zero EX release. Tamashii Nations wants to offer the character design in different Character Categories to provide collectors with variety. Don't worry, I highly doubt Tamashii Nations is going to scrap the S.H. Figuarts prototype that they've updated over the past year. The Zero looks great, if you like that kinda thing. I do want to see the articulated version released though!It'll happen. So what was the new rumored SHF ?¿ Super Saiyan 4 Goku Figuarts Zero EX is possibly the new reveal. The representative yesterday said one more Dragon Ball Z reveal.

What if the reveal is SS4 Goku? Maybe he's finally ready for release!! Maybe...! I like that idea but he's already been revealed and will more than likely be shown again at Tamashii Nations 2016 in October. Shonen Jump will probably reveal his release date before Tamashii Nations announces it.

These are apparently bigger than S.H. Figuarts.
