Does this mean the next WCF figures will have VegetaSS4, Gogeta with soul punisher, Veku, CauliflaSS2 and GT GokuSS3? Or is this not about WCFs at all :think:
Yup, continuing the new "Saiyan Bravery line" with Vol 2.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm looking for a list of the Figuarts Zero collection. I have a fair few of them; Goku (Kaioken Kamehameha), Vegeta (Galick Gun), Goku (Super Saiyan 3), Goku (Super Saiyan), Gotenks (Super Saiyan 3), Frieza (100% Final Form), Kid Buu, Trunks w/ Sword (Super Saiyan), and Vegeta (Super Saiyan Grade II). I've heard whispers that there's a Piccolo (Special Beam Cannon) and a Shenron one, but I've never been able to locate a list of them? Can anyone assist?

Thanks! Awesome that WCF is finally showing GT some love :clap: And it only lists 5 figures out of 6, I think it's possible that the 6th one will be the new form

The first wave of Super figures did well apparently, because we're getting a second with SSJB Goku, Hit, SSJ Trunks, Merged Zamasu, and probably a few more.

Official Tamashii Nations Instagram posted this a few days ago with the caption "S.H.Figuarts Frieza is coming!! Are you ready for NYCC 2017?!!!see you soon in venue!!"...

Image

Not sure if this means anything at all, I know they often display past figures at shows/cons, but the wording makes me wonder if it'll be getting a re-release of some kind? The display had a "display only" sign by it, but it seems odd to make an announcement about a past figure on display, doesn't it? (Or is that wishful thinking?)

The rest of the display seemed to be all currently available and upcoming figures, with one exception:

Image

The sign says "Now on sale - $40.00", which... :lolno:

Now, I really don't want to get my hopes up on this one. But I've been dying to get this little dude for ages and the after-market prices are insane, so... just keeping all my fingers crossed there might be a re-release. (Though not counting on it one bit.)

The first line looked way better than these what happened? Just hope these are prototypes not the finished thing...

Oooh, I really want to get Fused Zamau and Hit. Admittedly the paint on Hit's face looks kind of cheap, but with some custom paint aps that figure could look amazing.

Merged Z does look pretty decent but not feeling the rest. If they're just prototypes then cool because there is potential here like you said, for these to be pretty decent.

I wonder what the collect and connect figure will be though? Wave one was Shenron so Super Shenron makes the most sense.

These figures are cute, but the cartoonishly large breasts just ruin the rest for me. Kinda wish there was a more...correctly proportioned version. :/

The boobs are nice, but this outfit and the sort of complexity that it's trying to go for with the stretched cloth and strapless bust looks awkward.

So, I was at NYCC. I talked to a Bluefin rep. He told me the Kuririn was the old one. But Freeza was a new mold. So, hopefully that gets released, since I do not have a regular Final Form Freeza.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

Gotcha. Krillin didn't look any different to me than the old version (not much to improve on anyway, IMO). Not holding my breath for a re-release, but taking the white out of his eyes for a more anime screen-accurate look could justify a "premium colour" variant? (Unsure if they're able to re-release that one anyway.)

Either way, I'd snap up both of these in a heartbeat.

If you notice, all the other figures either state the price, state that they're out of print, or state that the figure is only for display only. Krillin has a price on him, indicating that it will probably be released.

I'm sure that they've displayed previous releases for shows like this in the past without any re-release forthcoming. But IIRC, last year's NYCC display was only current and upcoming releases... and Tenshinhan and Yamcha's prototypes were listed as "display only" that year, which could mean this "Final Form" Freeza is coming soon at least. Maybe? Of course it could well mean nothing, too. :eh:

Is this the line where Yamcha and Tenshinhan`s figures come with a Saibaman and Chiatzu respectively?

I like that Bulma figurine :D
