Misc. figure talk
FES SSGSS Kaioken Goku, same mould as vol 1 but comes all as a single piece no parts:

Colouring is amazing as expexted as Nakzawa is also a colour specialist the hair is also of a different colour to the regular SSGSS and Goku's skin even has red in places and the use of light and dark red in parts really sell the figure, battle details on the body are subtle and show the effort taken despite being a re-colour of a previous mould!
Comparison with vol.1:

FES Goku Black (Base), two parts and the foot as pegs to be slotted into base:

[/spoiler]
Eugh this it is ridiculous how amazing this figure is, easily the best Base Black figure completely crapping on the DXF so much. The detailing on the clothes alone! Wow. The hair mould is truly the best feature of the the figure, so good.
Paired with SS2 S6 Goku to re-create the first fight scene!

BWFC SPECIAL:
SuperNingenGod already showed pics but I wanted to touch up on this:

Varoq said he took a risk by making Goku's punching arm 5% bigger, I say he absolutely nailed it!
Match Makers:
Freeza:

Goku:

In typical Varoq fashion these are suspended in mid air, he also said he made them to be seen in various angles (and how great it was to sculpt a villain like Freeza) and I think it is safe to say he accomplished that! Here is a comparison of the backs with the BWFC Goku:
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]
Match Makers's Goku's gi is much lighter as expected but also this is where UI not having blood is a benefit as Banpresto do not re-produce blood well and it almost ruins the figures well I wouldn't say almost ruins just that they would be better without blood so I am glad UI figures won't have this issue. Hair colouring of SS Goku is interesting it isn't as bright as Varoq's SS2 S6 Goku. As you can see the back sculpting on both is different no laziness here!
Gashapon:
UG BEST Beerus:

Bandai have gotten lazy didn't colour Beerus nails, they are so frustrating man! This is a problem with their UDM's too.
This SSGSS Goku:

vs these older UDMs:

Colouring is awful and they didn't bother colouring Whis' symbol the qaulity between them is night and day and
sadly now Bandai aren't even colouring boots!!
Movie
Around this time next month we'll get our first look at movie figures, any spoilers will be blanked but assuming the villain get's revealed in the trailer he shouldn't be UNLESS he has a new form so if he is blanked (assuming one figure will be for him) then we can be fairly sure he has a new form! We have 4 regular prize figures to look forward too (one already revealed of course), the WCF set (one of 6 already revealed) and finally the Ichiban Kuji should be about 6 figures for that.
We'll also get ratios so hopefully regular prize figures are still a case of 36 each, hopefully the WCF is as close to even split as they can be but not holding my breath, all 4 figures if 36 per case will cost 4860yen to pre order but the WCF's will be anywhere between 5000-7000yen depending on ratio! That is insane. So I have begun saving for the movie already, not pre ordering or buying any more figures and then the IBK in December too.... yowza December is gonna be expensive.
And that isn't all we'll also get Bandai's December plans end of next month! October was non existent, if November is too... we could be in for a big December for them too.... HOPEFULLY IT IS ALL MOVIE RELATED and not this BS of putting non-DBS crap in every release.
