i wish i could do that but i have no customizing skills to do it... and also i used my phones camera its 16mp.  There's a lot of tutorials, youtube videos, and a whole bunch of stuff to help teach you how. You can do it! Take some apoxie, form the roundness of the head/scalp, put some paint over it and boom! sexydbz - 1, dog - 0. (Really, 16mp? It's so clear. Take more pictures of your collection and post them with that camera.  ) Edited: I just took a closer look at your avatar! That's sick! |

THIS SUCKSSSS!!!! woke up today seeing my perfect cells head has been chewed up by my dog....... the body is okay but but whats the point since it has no head now...  It may not be completely lost. You can try and smooth out the head (edited: with apoxie! couldn't think of the word before) and glue everything back together. I've noticed that the insides of the sides pieces have pegs. Ask fellow customizers for some tips. Not all is lost...just consider it battle damaged. (What the heck did you use to take the picture? Like a 50MP camera? ) |

I agree. Cell saga vegeta would need his own release because he was much bigger than when he faught the androids. Idk how to post pictures but even in his normal form he was still kind of "big" compared how he looked earlier in the saga efore cell That may have had to do with the artistic style but I completely understand what you mean. I'm not sure how much of a difference there will be in terms of sculpting for his normal form but I'm hoping Tamashii releases a "Super Vegeta" at some point...  |

Is there confirmation that they were referring to those lottery sales? They seem to continuously refer to it as a re-issue without mentioning any of the other five releases.

Edited: Apparently the reissue was for the North American collectors. Not from what I heard / remember. It was reissued to open up a new market in a new territory and North American collectors just piggybacked on the chance of a reissue. Ah, you were correct... "The FiguartsZero Goku was the very first Tamashii Web Exclusive that was ever re-issued and that was a very, very special case because its main purpose was for launching the market in Europe. The North American market sort of piggy-backed on that re-issue, but again, mainly for Europe and other new markets just to get the Dragon Ball thing going over there. It's not likely this can ever happen again because the limited nature of the Web Exclusive label pretty much ensures that once it comes out, it's done." www.tohokingdom.com/interviews/tamashii_nations_hannah_lemmur_bluefin_xavier_lim_08-2014.html |

guess it doesn't hurt to say this since it's just as unlikely as to happen as the web exclusives being reissued. I'm at a point where I'd prefer a 2.0 Vegeta...I'm not entirely sure how they could improve the body, IMO it's perfect aside from the oddly shaped neck, but if it were up to me it would have slightly updated armor, armored boots, and two alternate heads with faces(normal and super saiyan) with the same skin tone seen on the latest Goku. That kind of Vegeta would kill three birds with one stone. I think if they updated anything in regards to armor then it should be saved for Super Vegeta, which is very possible and would actually be a much better version of Super Saiyan Vegeta. |

@m5jagdragonpanzeriv I think he means when the SSJ Goku Zero was put out to open up a new market (I forget where though). That's the only case I can think of a re-issue. That sounds familiar. Either way, Newman mentioned it in the interview while talking reissues and said that they have no set policy on reissues for web exclusives. Edited: Apparently the reissue was for the North American collectors. |

Adam Newman stated that Goku Figuarts Zero was a reissue web exclusive. I'm going to consider him to be an official source. Can you please link to where he says that? This was a restock in the P-Bandai I provided a translation and a link. According to Tamashii site and any other source this was never actually reissued. If you think that the SSJ Goku Zero was re-issued, then you are saying that Trunks, Frieza, SSJ3 Goku were as well. He states that in a video interview at 2014 NYCC. Edited: There's only two videos so it shouldn't be difficult to look for. |

The reissue law is mumbo jumbo, a self-imposed "rule" that Tamashii doesn't even follow all the time. For example, the clearest example is the SSJ Goku Figuarts ZERO who has been re-issued despite being a web exclusive. Figuarts Zero SSJ Goku, according to any official source, was never re-issued. It is however was a part of the Premium Bandai shop restock in 2014, along with Cell, SSJ3 Goku, Trunks and Frieza. Adam Newman stated that Goku Figuarts Zero was a reissue web exclusive. I'm going to consider him to be an official source. |

I was talking to iami2eapei2 and he made me aware that I had missed some prototype pics... I think the selection is good. My favorite is buutenks. I think they can make the faces better just like they did with vegetto.. I'm talking about mystic gohan, ss4 goku and both buus. It was funny how they teased us with that armored vegeta. Looking forward to them announcing nappa will be our sdcc exclusive this year. Other than Super Saiyan 4 Goku, the selection is quite consistent and contained which is something I really enjoy. (It's not something new since the previous releases have been within very close proximity to each other in regards to story other than Super Saiyan 3 Goku, Final Form Frieza, and Scouter Vegeta.) Yeah, the "fun swap" was definitely...something. Nappa won't be our SDCC Exclusive this year but they could definitely show off his prototype at SDCC! I still have no concrete idea on who the heck is going to be this year's SDCC Exclusive figure. |

It would be really interesting to see Tamashii release another figure during that time. Not sure if they'll go ahead with it but if they do, it'll be even better. I'm really looking forward to SDCC for Tamashii Nations! (Among other stuff, as well.) I hope we get another teaser for what's to come in 2016. I can imagine Ultimate Gohan, Buu, and Super Saiyan 4 Goku taking up the rest of the slots for 2015. Super Saiyan 4 Goku similar to around Broly's release, if not maybe similar to around Android 16's release. Even then, we SHOULD be given a teaser for the following release. ...July is so far away. I wouldn't be surprised if they do. As I recall, Android 18 was released in July and was available early in June at a con (which escapes me at the moment but I remember them making a big deal about Android 18 and the Yellow MMPR being available for the first time). Android 18 was released in June! Holy cow, maybe we'll get Ultimate Gohan in July or August then which should give Super Buu and Super Saiyan 4 Goku release schedules to fill out 2015. Edited: Sorry for the multiple posts. I have no idea how to work in another quote as an edit. |

I check this thread every day for a prototype of Majin Vegeta and/or SSj4 Vegeta. Buu saga Vegeta would be acceptable. He'll make an appearance this year I'm betting. The prototype for sure. Probably not until SDCC or even Tamashii Nations. More likely the former than the latter, hopefully. Buu Saga Vegeta is going to happen before Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta though. I think Super Saiyan 4 Goku is going to test the market for Dragon Ball GT interest, which I believe is already there. I plan on purchasing multiple of him to display and hold onto to display for future Dragon Ball GT releases. Buu Saga Vegeta is a given. It's just a matter of time when he'll be shown. If you think Broly sold out fast, just wait for Vegeta Vegeta won't sell out as fast as Broly because he'll have a much higher quantity of production...he'll damn sure sell well though. |

You're correct! Bluefin just announced all of their June releases on Facebook. I'm surprised Tamashii hasn't updated it on their online catalog. Edited: They posted it yesterday afternoon. I'm hoping there will be a big July release (Such as an Ultimate Buu figure) to coincide with SDCC, and then I'm sure SDCC will have some announcements. Reissue Trunks for everyone!!!  It would be really interesting to see Tamashii release another figure during that time. Not sure if they'll go ahead with it but if they do, it'll be even better.

Tamashii is still determining and announcing their releases for June and July. They may wait until they get to their September/October plans where they'll announce the next figure. My guess is Ultimate Gohan. I believe he's the only one that didn't have the "Pending Licensor Approval" on his name tag. Could have sworn Tamashii announced their June releases and the only thing on there was the SSJ Goku Reissue. You're correct! Bluefin just announced all of their June releases on Facebook.

I wonder how "creative" this line is going to get with the poses. Are we going to get mostly the stand straight up stuff we're seeing here? Or are they going to diversify and maybe we'll get some active poses like we see with Figuarts ZERO and SCultures? It's too early to tell. The Bandai/Tamashii representative said they're going to create a survey, either once Super Saiyan 3 Goku has been released or when all three of them have been, I can't remember which. The interviewer asked for a Father/Son Kamehameha and the representative said that it was "now a consideration for the survey." So I would voice your opinion to them on Facebook or Twitter and let them know what's demanded because they seem to really care what we, the consumers, want to see. |
