My body is ready! gokubr Any idea when this will go up for preorder? Heard it was tomorrow night. Not sure how accurate that is but it's possible.

I believe Tamashii Nations has picked up on that and has started posting photos on their Instagram page to make the first official announcement. They announced Kid Goku a day before the Shonen Jump Calendar was updated for July.

Haven't had a ton of time to play around with it, but I wanted to confirm for anyone curious that the new Saiyan Saga Vegeta's head does swap out with the recent SSJ Vegeta pretty easily. It's not super easy to pop them on and off, but the ball joint is the exact same size for both. It also looks like there's a better "hook" for the scouter, so for those like me who had issues with the scouter constantly falling out, it shouldn't be as much of a problem. I'm glad to hear that! I was afraid Tamashii Nations was going to change it but if it's the same head mold it would make sense that they kept it the same ball joint as well.

Very cool editing, Seal.
Don't forget that SDCC Exclusive Broly was a "Premium Color" release more-so than an "Anime Accurate" release. Like all Premium Color releases, that allows Tamashii Nations to alter the paint application and coloring of a past Web Exclusive release to give it another release. The main thing I liked about SDCC Exclusive Broly was the green hair. I do agree that the coloring is, what you mentioned, more realistic which is pretty cool.

I hope they rerelease android 17 and android 18! I don't see them getting a Premium Color release but certainly a Dragon Ball Super attire release.

No update on SJ calendar yet. I'm in Toronto this week, makes a change to being in the UK timezone. Anyones know when it's updated? Usually it's done when I wake up. I'm expecting Majin Vegeta to be confirmed. It should be updated in the next few hours. I don't think we'll see anything new though but you never know.

I think he'll only come with 1 tail which will be the wrap around type. Maybe Tamashii Nations will release a Nappa without armor and include a loose tail.

Tien looks unbelievable. I think he may be one of the best in the line. Between the choice facial expressions and the hand accessories. Minor complaint is not having the cut off arm as an accessory but that's very minor and takes nothing away from the phenomenal work that's been done. Don't stop hoping, branjita

seeing those pants on Tien, I hope SSJ4 Goku will be shown again with an updated mold The torso would ideal as well for Super Saiyan 4 Goku. The older prototype's torso mold is outdated compared to Tien and Super Warrior Awakening Goku's.

Since we're on the topic of who's wanting what Shf figures, I would like to know if anyone feels that these two will ever get a release in the future since the prototypes were shown? They'll certainly be released at some point but Tamashii Nations is focusing on Dragon Ball Z for now.

Wtf is up with the US release of Buu? BBTS now says July release, but it is currently up for $86 on Amazon (sold by Amazon) and shipping now?! I cancelled my BBTS order and ordered from Amazon. Apparently should be in before the end of the week! Bluefin received them early last month. I didn't even know Amazon had it for sale so I'll definitely check that out.

Not sure how it's a dumb idea when it's well known that a company will draw out releases to gain as much profit as possible. People who want things sooner are going to end up disappointed. It has nothing to do with want when all the power lies in the hands of Tamashii Nations. They choose what, when, and how things will be released. Some collectors have accepted it and wait patiently.

JJ's speculation is very understandable. There are ways for Tamashii Nations to include both versions but the negatives outweigh the positives.
Tamashii Nations wants to make as much money as possible and that usually means selling as many releases as they feel the collectors will purchase.

All of those characters you mentioned are Saiyans that transform into Super Saiyans and fit within a specific Saga. Neither of which really fit within the case of Tien or Yamcha.
Tamashii Nations is more than likely going to have 2 releases for both Tien and Yamcha. They created the castings and they're going to use them to make as much profit as possible. There's only minor changes to the releases. It would be no different than a Goku or Vegeta release reusing parts from earlier releases.
