Oh yea those. Those are part of the Zoukei Tenkaichi Budokai line of figures/models. They were talked about on episode 244 of the podcast, as well as various places here on this forum. You can see the prototypes in better detail on the official site: http://z-tenkaichi.bpnavi.jp/

Ah, my friend from Bellevue, those are from Banpresto's "Master Stars Piece" collection. Those pictures in particular are from Jump Festa 2011, where the Zoukei ("Model") Tenkaichi Budoukai figures were first put on display. If none of this really rings a bell, you can find out more about them here.

While SSJ2 Gohan did advance to the next round, SSJ3 Goku and my personal favorite, normally dressed adult Goku, did not advance... Oh well.

Edit: Damn you Tanooki! :P

Aww! Driving School Goku didn't make the cut? :(
He was my favorite! I even voted for him.
Oh well...

Yea thats REALLY disappointing, I would love more DBZ characters wearing some casual clothes, its something different and exciting, better luck next time : (

I'm STILL waiting for Vegeta in his pink shirt, why haven't they made those yet? I would be on a figure like that instantly.

Yeah, but he lost out to Perfect Form Cell and didn't advance to the next round. They started out with 10 models, and now they're down to 5.

I'm also upset that No. 16 didn't advance, but I sort of understand since he was up against SSJ2 Gohan.

Thats a real shame, why can't they just make them all! This is DBZ fans were talking about, I'm sure they'd all sell well. Or maybe I'm just one of those fans who buy too many figures XD.

When the final decisions are made can someone please post it here, I don't know how this works nor how many figures there winding down, I'd just like to know if Vegeta will make it.

Well I hate to be the one to pop your bubble, but No. 20 (Doctor Gero) handily defeated SSJ Vegeta in the first round by roughly 110,000 votes.

NONE of the good figures I really wanted won. Not a single one...

Vegeta, SS3 Son... God damnit...

How the HELL did Dr. Ribbitface beat him?!

Uuugh... The only ones that look good that won are that SS Son From the Freeza fight and SS2 Gohan... and even then, I don't know if they're good enough for me to want to buy them...

Just make them all, Driving School Goku and Android 16 are the only ones I probably would have been interested in honestly.

I wonder what they're going to do with all those prototypes... :twisted:

Extremely disappointed by the fact that No. 16 and driving school Goku lost. I mean come on, how many figures of those other guys do we need? They should just make them all. :?

Make them all of make the ones people don't see often. Android 16 isn't everywhere and I can't even think of 1 figure of Driving School Goku or even Piccolo for that matter. We have tons of Super Saiyans, make some other characters.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a figure of Hatchiyack what with Plan to Eradicate The Super Saiyans coming out, unless I somehow missed him? He'd be a cool one to have.

We don't need another Piccolo, there are many HQDX sized Piccolo figures, and there are no HQDX sized/detailed figures of SSJ3 Goku (to my knowledge). I would rather SSJ3 Goku won, and driving school Goku would have become insanely rare.

The SS3 Goku Muscle Mania HQDX figure, SS Broly and Nappa were also in that series

Ah, you're right. I didn't like that figure so I disregarded it mentally. My point is SSJ3 still should have won or at least advanced as compared to the 3 other HQDX Picoolo's we already have.
