Well find out June 1st what exactly they have in store for the movie when December solicits go up (if they go up)...the DXF line hasn't had a main release since October 17 (not counting the UI special last month) so I'm kinda worried what they'll use for the main figure line for movies. Hope it isn't like RF where they originally solicited "2015 theatrical DXF" only to change it to the smaller scale Chozousyu "The Figure Collection" Series. DXF line is far from perfect but for a main series of releases for the movie they'll be perfect.ArchedThunder wrote:Kinda surprised those two movie Gokus aren't coming earlier than December.
Hopefully the movie line for WCF does pretty much everybody, like they did for F. Hopefully we also get stuff like the DXF line for F that covered lots of characters, basing them off of their Toriyama art for the poses.
I wonder if part of the reason WCF is kinda meh right now is because they are focusing on getting a lot of sculpts ready for December, more than a usual series.

Re: Dragon Ball Super related Merchandise and Figures (OP Updated 04/05/18).
Thanks for that! I went and preordered the one with UI Goku flying forward with his fist out. I haven't bought a Dragon Ball figure since that behemoth SSJ Goku that came with the Xenoverse 2 collector's edition. So I thought if I'm gonna start buying figures again I'll begin with UI Goku.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:While searching for FES 8 I did come across this site the other day and it looks Aus based:Super Saiyan Swagger wrote:I really want to get a UI Goku figure but I don't know where to look.

Could be something to look into? Assuming those prices are in AUD and shipping isn't too bad they seem decent.
Other than I am not sure for Aus folks, maybe eBay? Though sellers tend to mark up prices a lot on there.
That new Goku figure based on Shintani's design for the upcoming film looks so nice. Definitely going to pick that one up when I get the chance.

Well we finally got a shirtless Jiren.
Still no Blue Evolved Vegeta or GoD Toppo...
Soooo many Gokus...
God I hope when the movie merch roles around they stop ignoring other characters.

Re: Dragon Ball Super related Merchandise and Figures (OP Updated 04/05/18).
Unfortunately Hit got hit (pun intended ) by the fact DBS wasn't marketed properly until after Trunks arc late 2016. Banpresto stopped their regular prize figure line of Chozousyu's with Champa (only new character) others being movie re-releases under the DBS brand, early 2016 just when U6 arc was heating up just so they could concentrate on their Z RoS and crappy Z Dramatic Showcase releases.Super Saiyan Swagger wrote:I'm still waiting for a cool Hit figure.

2017 we got the WCF's for U6 arc... In which Hit was under ratio'd, and then 2018 ToP Hit got an expensive Premium Bandai Exclusice Mini figure and that's the best Hit got from Japan.
The whole marketing of DBS has been a massive mess, from crappy promo artisit doing a majority of the art for general general merchandise, then Banpresto/Bandai not marketing DBS until after the Trunks arc with U.S arc looming they had to sacrifice the U6 arc. 2017 on paper should have been a good year but the quality of releases were poor, and then 2018 when they finally get their shit togther DBS ends on TV you cannot make it up.
Then of course Bandai wasting DBS branding with basically everything and anything not DBS related... This ToP set sums them up.
It's been a very frustrating few years indeed. Bandai September gashapon solicits goes up soon...wonder what they'll waste with the DBS brand (I swear there also better be know more damn re-releases that's another bad habbit of theirs). Each new UDM set starting from #31 they are gonna include a Ginyu Force member.. Nobody asked for that at all. Just why that's one space taken each new set already now.

Re: Dragon Ball Super related Merchandise and Figures (OP Updated 04/05/18).
At this point the best thing I can hope for is that Hit plays a prominent role in this upcoming movie which leads to him getting a figure. He’s such a fan favourite character that a figure would be a no brainer.Baggie_Saiyan wrote:Unfortunately Hit got hit (pun intended ) by the fact DBS wasn't marketed properly until after Trunks arc late 2016.

Hell, it doesn’t even have to be a prominent role. Rob Lucci showed up in One Piece Film Gold for like a minute and he got a bunch of figures when that movie was coming out.

Thanks mute_proxy .
The fact that Hit doesn't have a proper figure is beyond belief for me. I am even tempted to buy that articulated action figure I can see in toy shops. It is not a big deal, but given the lack of proper figures...
https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0270/ ... 1508797148
BTW, my nephew loved Freezer and 17 during this arc, and seeing that Nº17 figures are not in the horizon, could you recommend me a good (preferably Golden) Freezer figure? I was considering Banpresto DXF, but the pose is kind of boring, and the Colosseum, that I can't find and fear that might be too expensive and/or bootleg.

Re: Dragon Ball Super related Merchandise and Figures (OP Updated 04/05/18).
Freeza is a tough one ever since the end of 2015 they've basically stopped caring about him and thus a lot of his stuff is now expensive. By Colosseum I assume you mean this one? If so then your fears are warranted, it's gone up in price and there are a lot of fakes out there of it. Tbh it's not worth the price now as it's on the smaller scale at 8cm.Nafno wrote:Thanks mute_proxy .

They only thing they did with Angel Freeza was a WCF. That's probably your best bet tbh.
Re: Dragon Ball Super related Merchandise and Figures (OP Updated 04/05/18).
Thanks, I might go for it.
I didn't know the colosseum one was 8 cm, it looked bigger.

The winning SS battle damaged Goku in the corner was 21cm so I dunno why they made these specials so small SSGSS Goku was only about 13cm too I think.

Re: Dragon Ball Super related Merchandise and Figures (OP Updated 04/05/18).
OP UPDATED- Changelog:
[spoiler].Added separate movie section at the start of the OP
.Updated FES WCF/WCD
.Cleaned up UDM also added separate "THE BEST" and "V JUMP" re-releases.[/spoiler]
Plans for the rest of the year on pre-order that I can't cancel-
BWFC SPECIAL, MATCH MAKERS Goku & Freeza, Grandista UI Goku
On pre-order that I can cancel:
FES 7 SS4 Gogeta, SS4 SMSP
Will pre-order- UI FES for Sept, Oct, BoS Z SPECIAL Goku (massive improvement over the shitty one from last year) & WCD Vol 2 and then that is it until movie stuff will no doubt try and get WCFs but preying they aren't under ratio'd and hopefully we have a line of regular prize figures.
===========================================================================================================
Also the movie WCF are going to be a set of 6 (some people were worried that since WCD went to 4 that this maybe the case for future regular WCFs) and the December one is labelled as vol.1 implying further volumes hopefully just 1 month apart.
If I were guess for Vol.1= Base Goku, Base Vegeta, Beerus, Whis, Piccolo & Villain and then subsequent volumes being forms and other characters. Hopefully some of the now "cuter" girls get added to the WCFs.

===========================================================================================================
I wanted to touch up on this, this is undoubtedly the case Mr.Nakazawa handles the WCFs (and I'd assume the WCDs too) and he also handles all the movie stuff (he did for BoG and "F") plus no FES scheduled for November so it definitely seems that way. All sculpts are done pretty far in advance (prototypes that is) Varoq sculpted his UI Goku 7/8 months before release for example. So all the movie stuff has probably all been sculpted by the start of this year.ArchedThunder wrote:Kinda surprised those two movie Gokus aren't coming earlier than December.

I'm surprised Jiren got as many figures as he did. Not too many, but more than I expected.

Bandai loved him, Banpresto not so much. Before the October special Jiren stuff wasn't selling too hot but after the special he just spiked up in popularity, his vs ~¥6000 SSGSS Goku P-Bandai set got a second shipment by Bandai which was unprecedented to say the least.Zen Yabuki wrote:I'm surprised Jiren got as many figures as he did.

Only thing missing was a regular scale prize figure from Banpresto. All these UI figures without a scaled Jiren to go with.

Yeah, Jiren not getting any 5+ inch figures yet is weird, especially when the western Dragon Stars set getting a Jiren figure really soon.
Hit missing any at least makes somewhat sense, as much as it's dumb because he's a fan favorite, due to when he debuted and what they ended up doing with merch at that point.

Re: Dragon Ball Super (Series & Movie) related Merchandise and Figures (OP Updated 25/05/18).
Aye. But what's even worse is there isn't a limit so if all sculptors wanted the same character they all could. Last year we had 2 Goku's and 2 Future Trunks. Seems a waste since figures of them two will always get made. No doubt this year will have a boring line up too, especially since 3 westerners again can see them picking Trunks, Cell arc Gohan etc.ArchedThunder wrote:What a boring list of characters for BWFC.
However the winner of the BWFC since 2015 gets to sculpt a special figure no limitations on anything, if there is a new form they get dibs on that.
