Chichi doesn't look that bad; it's not clear because it's the prototype and not fully colored, but it seems they've made her slightly taller or more slender than how she's depicted normally, but not too much as to not be able to tell it's child-age Chichi.

Lunch and 18, however, are pretty crazy. Blonde Lunch doesn't seem too extravagantly out there. Even the Bulma in Rabbit Suit figure from awhile back was completely palatable because A) proportionately, it wasn't that far off from how she always looks, and B) she's completely being sexualized when she wears it in the series proper anyway.

I wonder if the Dragon Gals line will produce some outliers; Zangya, Vados, Bulma's mom, The Pie Pie Mermaid Girl... I would totally get those last two no matter how lewd they came.

I can't wait to see Videl; she's popular enough to get a figure.

Nothing wrong with the Chi sculpt, it's quite good actually! I hope they come out with an adult chichi figure similar to this one:

Maybe if the figures sell really well, we'll get more of these.

Does anyone know if this is real? I saw it on Gojiitaaf's facebook, but didn't see any other sites talk about it

No, it's fake. We don't even have real merchandise for Champa's team yet. No way we're getting Trunks already.

Not to mention that's not even Trunks' new design, it just has the scarf added...

The earlier exchange about this leads me to also believe it was fake, especially with it having no announcement from any official source.

Finally, we'll be able to have the fan favorite Ozaru Broly with us at all times. :clap:

Isn't it great ? Ozaru Broly should be put next to the likes of the Mona Lisa so that all the world can marvel at it's glory. 8)

Aren't these all repeats? I swear I've seen these all before.
I could have gotten into anything...and yet I chose the story aimed at young Japanese boys about martial arts, and later about super-powerful aliens punching each other really hard.

Yes. "The Best" line for the UDM series always consists of re-release. Often with new color schemes, metallic glosses or translucent pieces (or sometimes they're sloppier and don't paint half the stuff on the product).

Apparently shit green Broli is the SDCC release this year? Not that I'm collecting them anymore, but this never deserved to be made. The original looked way better and that overly green hair needs to stop being used. Everywhere.

Yeah this really didn't need to be "corrected". I don't even own the original broly figuarts but just from pics I can tell it looks fine in terms of coloring. I feel like we could've definitely gotten something better

So here we are, on the day that the next arc starts and we still haven't announced any figures of the Universe 6 team, whats the deal? You'd think they'd at least do a Hit figure of some kind by now.
Hopefully the figures in the west don't fall horribly behind the show as it airs.

Where did the Green hair start? From what I recall in the movie, Broly's normal SSJ form had a green tint to it because of the restraining device that was on his head. After he broke that he was a normal yellow SSJ. In his LSSJ form it's always been shown yellow, I don't understand where the green came from. I think Raging Blast 2 had a green haired LSSJ3.

In Movie 8, Broly still has a green tint in his hair, even after he transforms into LSSJ.
This is very obvious when you compare the above to his appearance in Movie 10 (which uses the exact same animation for his LSSJ reveal).
I think the implication is that the mind-control device still had an effect on Broly for a little while after he destroyed it.

Saw the 2.5" Vegita set listed in Diamond's catalog. Nice set but I want something bigger. Would be nice to get a 12" Chef Vegita or with him sucking on the pacifier!

The new Funko Pop figures look good. I'm surprise that they pick DB Kid Goku and DB Bluma since they are from the first series. If we get more from Funko Pop, I could see them doing Beerus, Whis, #18, Captain Ginyu, Tenshinhan and Yamcha. They seem like that they are popular enough to get figures.

I hope for the next wave of these Funko Pops to contain Beerus, Whis, SS Vegeta, Muten Roshi Tenshinhan and Yamcha.
They look great and I can't wait to get all of the second wave that just came out. Specially Kid Goku and Kuririn.

Holy shit! Didn't expect these! I've been very pick and choose about Figuarts lately, but these are must haves.
