Why is Trunks using his USSJ hair?
>>
>>5486845
why does he have three arms? i haven't watched dragonball since i was like 12 so i guess i've missed something lol
>>
>>5485842
So the next one to be released is going to be whis,huh
>>
>>5486845
I still just want a renewal first appearance trunks. The actual figure is garbage, and the premium color only made it worse in some aspects.

I want a DBZ accessories pack, with capsules, dragon balls and other smaller objects.

The former.

Well that's a pleasant surprise for once.
>>
>>5487355
>absolutely unsubstantiated statements
>>
>>5487337

From whats been shown, he should be coming with his super sayin (1 or 2? Not sure but the one with his longer hair form) and base pony tail hair.

And given the body appears to be a new sculpt, it doesn't look like this one is a shameless cash grab release.
>>
>>5487540
Bullshit. The May 2016 Trunks DOES NOT come with this spiky hair, that is already a done-deal, Bandai listed all the parts coming with it. This spiky hair is a prototype part used for convention display only for now.

Some of you guys may have seen my thread earlier this week but does anyone know where I can find a spare sh figuarts goku neck piece, or a bootleg with a similar/interchangeable neck? Mine fell off a high shelf and the neck broke.
>>
Man I've been thinking.

This new Trunks head shown is AMAZING.

And I can't see any way how they won't include this with the new capsule corps suit trunks. It's NEVER been done before that they've shown another hairstyle for an unreleased figure and then make a separate figure out of that.
Howver, it HAS happened before for them to release a figure with multiple SSJ hairstyles (teen gohan).

Agree with me, or take me off of my cloud. I don't care. I just want to discuss this further.
>>
I want that hair
>>
>>5490160

If they're doing it, they're making some huge secret, because on every site it just has the base head and the tied-down SSJ hair listed as the two heads.

It'd be pretty sweet to be wrong, but I really doubt they'd package a figure with three heads.

>It's NEVER been done before that they've shown another hairstyle for an unreleased figure and then make a separate figure out of that.

How often have they shown an additional hairstyle for an unreleased figure for this to be some sort of precedent?
>>
>>5490169
It probably wasn't getting as many preorders as they anticipated so they added that
>>
>>5490264
you're asking two questions in one. proof read your shit before you post.

>How often have they shown an additional hairstyle for an unreleased figure
What I assume you're asking is how often they've shown that without releasing the particular hairstyle; which is never.

>for this to be some sort of precedent?
It would have to happen at least two of three times before for this is some kind of indicator.

But i'm just guessing what the fuck you're asking so just make understandable sentences like an adult next time.
>>
>>5490268

It sold out pretty much immediately everywhere, didn't it?

I know he sold out on Amiami in like, less than 5 minutes, literally, and I don't think I've seen him come up--at least there--since POs went up.
>>
>>5490278
No, I'm saying that I'm pretty sure that scenario has never happened, they've never just shown a random brand new hairstyle for a figure after preorders are open and info is out. So saying that they've never shown a nee hairstyle and then made a second figure is misleading. As in, there is no precedent for that statement.

Reading comprehension is hard, huh?
>>
>>5490309
So you just stopped reading after that sentence? At least I had the decency to read every word of what you had to say; and that's probably why it doesnt make any fucking sense.

I'm mentioning two ways this will likely turn out. One case which has never happened before and thus is based on pure speculation, another that has.
I'm not speaking of statistical probabilities or whatever you're looking for. Just thinking out loud, and not trying to 'mislead' anyone. That's just a batshit insane assumption.
>>
>>5490325
You're saying it has never been done that they've shown a new hairstyle for an unreleased figure and released it as a separate figure, with emphasis on never. They've also never shown a nee hairstyle for an unreleased figure period. Adding the rest of the statement is unnecessary, as this is a completely new scenario, so basing your guesses on things they have or haven't done in the past is utterly useless. How is this hard to understand?
>>
FACT: Trunk's spiky SSJ hair is DISPLAY ONLY piece. No plans for release ATM. It's 100% NOT going to be with the recent pre-order, so stop linking it with the hair like it's going to come with it. /END
Source: Go ask one of the staff at NYTF2016.
>>
IIRC, many years ago, before SHF Scouter Vegeta was even planned/released, they used to display the 1st SSJ Vegeta with black non-SSJ head during certain conventions. They've been doing this for many other figures as well, so it's not unusual.
>>
>>5490378
Your memory is fuzzy, that happened only one time and it was after SS Vegeta release.

If they did somehow include the hair, I would still be a bit mad if they didn't include Trunks' normal hair without the ponytail. I always preferred the long hair look the most, but I'm still happy we are getting SA Trunks.
>>
>>5490487
When they start the preorder, they already release all the info on the final parts that are going to be in it. They owe you nothing with this new spiky hair, it's just another prototype. Stop being a baby, god damn filthy gaijins.

Guess what? Neither is this new spike hair. Then again, the whole argument is moot anyway, cause they already said it's not part of the release.

Also here's a pic i managed to dig up of my current collection. No big detail on the trunks but it gives you an idea of the hair's scale to the rest.

Broly sitting there looking like a supervisor.
>>
>>5491091
I love posing him with the smallest ones. Emphasizes his HUEGness even more.

unless you were slyly commenting on how shitty my posing is; because I know. But i'm not very patient and hate using these ugly ass stand things.
I'm just a guy who got in way too deep when reliving his love for DBZ figures.
>>
>>5491101
No, I'm saying he looks like a supervisor in that pose. Like he's gonna give someone a paycut for pissing him off or something.
But yes, the posing in this image is very awkward.
>>
>>5491101
Ebay has some Acrylic risers for sale. 3 for 10 dollars. 3/4/5 inch set. It could help a bit, and aren't really ugly.
>>
>>5491107
hmph. I'll try to fix it tomorrow. Just need to dream up an interesting composition.

>>5491111
maybe the risers are a good idea. I'll think about it.

>>5490976

TRANKS
>>
>>5490514
That does not mean much. Why was that not planned in there during development then?

What good is that hair now is it when it has no body to release it with? Rerelease the same trunks with that hair which will just piss people off? Nobody has liked that trend.
>>
>>5491288
>DISPLAY ONLY
If they do release it, maybe they'll give us long hair, no jacket Trunks from Super Adroid 13.
>>
>>5491539
That'd be cool if we get Super Android 13, too. I don't care about SA13 at all as a character, but big villains make for cooler displays
>>
>>5491540

The line needs more Villains anyway, so I'd probably take whoever we can get.
>>
>>5491076
It'll look sick with your inbound 17 added.
>>
>>5491076
I almost have the same collection but I don't have that Trunks, and no Frieza. Also, I have battle damaged Goku instead of that one.
But I also have a 17 inbound, lol.
Curious if thats Datong Frieza, trying to get as many first hand reviews as I can
>>
>>5491568
Janemba when? Not the most popular character, but he has such a cool design. He and Super Gogeta are my 2 top wants from the line as of now.
>>
>>5491568
Villians would be nice, I'd even like to see villians from like Xenoverse or something. Movie villians would be nice too.
I'd just hate for the villians to only consist of Frieza and Cell's forms or something though. They'd be nice, but I'd want more variety too.
>>
>>5491822

>turles never

They could reuse Goku's head and Raditz' body, whenever they make him
>>
>>5491836
But then would everyone not just complain about it being a reused mold. Everyone was quick to freak out at the Super Buu prototype for being another Goku rehash because he had the same shirt and similar looking pants.
>>
>>5486875
It's just trunks without the ponytail like when he went grade 2
>>
So what hair is actually going to come with the saiyan armor trunks?
>>
>>5491879

Base-form, tied back (purple)
SSJ tied back.
>>
>>5490930
You do realize it's exactly the same source "they" as >>5490614 right?
>>
>>5490268

What is it with db generals and retards?
>>
>>5492221
They attract people who only collect these figures, and not toys in general. A lot of generals do. So you end up with people who know nothing about how these companies work and throw out wild guesses as to what's going on.
>>
>>5492229
Nintendo general is the most guilty of this shit.
>>
>>5491076
I'm still really liking that trunks head. If I had a body to put it on I'd definitely get it
>>
>>5492243
Agreed. Being that I frequent both Nintendo General and DB General, I've seen some serious shit, especially right after one or two new figures have been revealed.
>>
>>5490458
I don't know what the best would be, but SSGSS Goku also comes with a black haired head. That's a recent release that should still be easy to find at sane prices.
>>

Not sure what kind of hallucinogen you guys are on, but i'm not planning on getting a 17 soon.

That frieza is a Datong frieza though. And its very nice. They really stepped up their face detail game. pretty immaculate. and so is the purple pearlescent paint on his head n stuff. very good looking.

I'm really kind of hoping for one of the Buus (basically, any one of the forms except Buuhan) Or maybe Whis, just because I think Beerus will be kind of lonely.

Yeah I don't fucking understand.

Even random ass Vegetto and Gohan Shit Version get figured before Bulma.
Bandai likes to not make the full potential of cash they can print.
>>
>>5492777
This line is the spiritual successor to SBC, so expect it to be just like it as far as character choices go. So don't expect supporting characters who aren't fighters, and even fighter characters who aren't the strongest (Yamcha, Tenshinhan, etc) getting figures may be unlikely, too. only the most powerful/prominent characters get figures. Japanese lines almost never work like American toylines, where you get entire casts. This isn't going to be like Irwin toys; no yellow suit Yamcha here.

Haha, okay okay...

I know that's my own personal preference, for sure.
I just like having one of every character, I feel weird having multiples. Therefore, having a Vegetto exist side by side with Goku and Vegeta fucks with me. Also having Gohan at 2 different ages is not for me.

Plus I'm pretty sure most people don't like grown up Gohan so please don't act like I'm the crazy one here without giving me some kind of reference point for the change in mass opinion...

>Plus I'm pretty sure most people don't like grown up Gohan so please don't act like I'm the crazy one here without giving me some kind of reference point for the change in mass opinion...

I guess that's a popular opinion in a lot of the American fandom like on /r/ DBZ. They mostly like Vegeta and cell games Gohan for being the edgiest characters.

I said "during development", anon. As in "Hey let's make this. Before even begin scultping a prototype, let us plan out the engineering and decide what we give it". So my question is why didn't they decide to include it the beginning? Obviously they had it in mind to be used for the figure.

Your idea on what do with it now is good, though. Hopefully that would turn out to be a better rendition of the the original SHF Trunks. Similar to how Awakening Goku is compared to the original. Though this time better since it is not a battle damaged variant.
>>
>>5493040
Stop with the memes. Everyone since I was a little boy shat on Gohan after the Cell saga.

If you deny this you're a faggot troll.

And trust me, I love Gohan, but this is a fact. I don't know how anyone can deny this since I've seen nothing but support for this statement for about 20 years of my life now.
>>
>>5493150
To add to this I keep hearing shit like they purposely gave less attention to Gohan later on as to make sure Goku stays the main character / most beloved etc., idk.

But yeah stop with the memes and contrarian qualities.

>>
>>5493158
Man, I really don't know what you're talking about.

For the record I'm not saying everyone hates Gohan or anything. But literally just about everyone I know before this one thread (lol) would generally agree that Gohan had way more potential than what they did with him in the Buu saga.

Sorry your contrarian ways won't accept this fact.
>>
>>5493166
more potential? he was literally stronger than goku or any protaginist until goku went ssj3
>>
>>5493172
Jesus lol, I didn't say "higher power level", I said more potential as in place in the plot and story line.

Gohan's place in the plot in Buu saga wasn't too huge. I found it cool, sure, but it doesn't change the fact that most people I know will generally say something lke "Gohan turned into a pussy blah blah" starting with his time in high school.

I'll disagree with that, I don't think he turned into a pussy, but he definitely wasn't as exciting as he could have been, being all studious and such.

Yeah, sure. That's why Toriyama was forced to bring back Goku, because everybody loved how Gohan had more screentime. Makes total sense.
>>
>>5493184
This, lol...

People are in strong denial ITT

Here's even a youtube video entitled "Whats with the Gohan Buu Saga Hate?".
Of course it's not any kind of rock hard evidence, but it's certainly a great indicator that I'm not some fucking psycho making this up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sja7Pq0svQ

Admit it, you guys are contrarians.
>>
>>5493150
i'm not trolling,just saying you just literally happen to share the same opinion as a bunch of average American fans, similar to things like thinking Cell saga should've been the end of the series, not really caring about Dragon ball,thinking Goku is overused, etc.

But that's not necessarily the same opinion of fans elsewhere, and may not dictate what Bandai makes as figures. Some people halfway across the world may not like adult Gohan, but that's no reason for Bandai not to make a figure of him in his most powerful form, or not to make a figure of the most powerful character in the original series for that matter. Both of which are way more relevent than Bulma.
>>
>>5493000
grown up gohan or mystic gohan is the best gohan but I would rather have saiyaman gohan as a definitive version.
>>
>>5493184
Toriyama wasn't forced. He just found Gohan didn't make a good main character for an action adventure series.

It's telling that everyone loves Gohan in Cell games, when he's literally unhinged and acting nothing like his usual self.
>>
>>5493190
Yep yep.

To clarify, I'm not at all arguing about whether adult Gohan is a good character or not. No point arguing our specific opinions.

But when I said that having a problem with adult Gohan was not exactly a rare opinion of mine, you guys argued with me calling me "very wrong" etc., when in fact, I was spot on.

I'm not saying he's disliked enough to not have a figure made, of course, but to me he's a more surprising choice than other characters.

All I'm really trying to say is, at least in America, disliking adult Gohan is kind of a 'thing'. Not for everyone obviously, but if you're a big DBZ fan, you've likely had this conversation with some of your friends.

Unless you have no friends, anon?
>>
>>5493208
Literally no one called you "very wrong" We're just saying that your opinions of what constitutes a good figure choice is silly since you have a relatively narrow perception based on what you watched on Toonami as a kid, while the company making these things is a Japanese one inherently making them for Japanese fans.
>>
>>5493221
Well they sorta did not word for word, ( >>5493158
and >>5493164 )

But sure, I totally get that I was expressing my opinion about good figure choices, and that I didn't expect people to share my opinions about the Gohan figure being unecessary; all I expected is for most of you to acknowledge that, at least in AMERICA (you're right, I'm forgetting Buu Gohan's reception in Japan right now...I remember hearing that he was disliked there as well but I could definitely be wrong.), he was generally made fun of, shat on, or at least people wanted a little more from him.

Like, this has got to be true and I really don't see how you could argue this. I've discussed DBZ with dozens upon dozens of fans for 20 years now, and 90% of them will at least acknowledge that there is a somewhat perceived consensus that Gohan's character isn't what they hoped in the Buu saga.
>>
>>5493244
>I remember hearing that he was disliked
That's what I've always heard from Japan for years now.
I didn't like Adult Gohan until he finally got his shit together before Buu absorbed him.
>>
>>5493339
Thank you.

I'm pretty sure there are stats out there proving this.

You'd think with all of the Goku figures we currently have, they could throw in the fringe that makes the literal only dfferance between his ssj and ssj2 hair.

>Piccolo / Gohan etc not only recolored but rereleased beyond belief

So, are recolors not exclusive then, since they get rereleased?

If so, then Awakening Goku is certainly not the only non-exclusive figure in the last 5 years.

How do you explain that?
>>
>>5497432

Before Awakening Goku, Picollo, Gohan, and SSJ Goku were literally the only retail released figures. That's why they've gotten re-releases.

The different colored ones were SDCC exclusives.

The "Premium" color figures are literally just a work-around for them to re-release a figure, while not technically re-releasing the original figure.

Yes, and it's shit. The 1st release was already shitty, the PC is even worse.
>>
>>5497443
have 1st release trunks and PC trunks in the mail, and armored trunks pre ordered. One of them will have the Bojack movie Trunks look
>>
>>5497364

I usually don't have any trouble but Trunks sold out faster than fucking Kuuga.
>>
>>5497097
Well, lets not forget that the guy at Bluefin last year said we were supposed to get this year a Premium color of Cell and SSJ3 Goku, along with a new Vegeta. And he had been right about the brand new Trunks.

So, right now, I think we're looking at Cell, SSJ3 Goku, SSJ3 Vegeta and Whis in some order for the rest of the year.
>>
>>5497472
Just curious...

So you shelled out the $150+ for the 1st release trunks, and then spent another $50 on PC trunks?

Why?
Unless you mean you already had 1st Trunks, and just now got PC Trunks, but still, why??
>>
>>5497453
Exclusive doesn't mean shit. All of them got carried in the US by mainstream a retailer: Barnes and Noble.
