Okay those were just the crappy basic ones. Phew.
Dodged a bullet there. If any Beerus figure, somehow or someway, come to the UK, I would buy those in a heartbeat. But we Brits don't get shit. :cry:
Don't most American toys end up here anyway?

Not in the toy stores I've been to over the years. But maybe I haven't been looking hard enough.

Well I guess I'm going off of the big stuff like Batman v Superman pretty much everything the US got we got that too I'm pretty sure. (Though off topic I dislike Mattel and wish DC/WB would change company for JL).

I do think we will see the toyline here in the UK. All the big Bandai stuff from the USA in previous years (mainly Power Rangers) do get a full rollout.

I'm attending the MCM Expo in a few weeks, if the Bandai UK store is there, I'll ask the team if they know anything.
It most likely will depend if Toei can get Super on TV here.
I think we stand a chance - Kai did well on Kix! and was its top performing show on there so I believe.
I also hear BoG & "F" did well when they were on Sky Movies a few weeks back, so Toei will be buoyed by that.
I did speak to the general manager of Toei Europe, who told me he was trying to get it on here - but then said he wasn't aware of an English dub, so take that with a pinch of salt.

If Bandai UK know anything, then I'll post here after I return from London.

Hopefully the 3.5 ones are close enough to 3.75 to work for my collection.
Battle High 2, starring Kyle Hebert as well as myself, has been released on Xbox 360, OUYA, PC, Linux, Mac, and Xbox One!

So, are the 6 inch ones going to be like Bandai America's Power Ranger Legacy figures, basically being cheaper, American style counterparts to the Super Sentai Figuarts?

This is what the 6.5 inch figures look like.

They look kinda like affordable SH Figuarts.

Kix will air the rest of Kai first and then it will probably air Super. We just need funimation to get moving.

Nothing in this batch I'd want, but hopefully as things progress some stuff with the F and Champa arc dougi and armor come out.
On hiatus.

That SSJ Goku looks good and at those prices it can't be wrong to just buy it and have it around. I will for sure be getting this and whatever they have planned for future.

I could see myself getting that Beerus figure if nothing else, for a good price at any rate.

Well they said their 4 lines of figures will range from $3.99 to $19.99, I'm guessing the $19.99 figures are the 7 inch ones and that these 6.5 inch ones will be around $14.99.

If those figures make it UK in those prices converted to sterling, I'd snatch them up instantly. Starting with the Beerus one. :mrgreen:

Those 6.5 ones are mineeee haha. Can't wait for a Goku Black and Zamasu which I'm sure will be wayyyy in 2018. It's going to be really cool seeing Dragonball stuff back in retail stores.

Yeah, assuming the dub stars airing in Summer 2017 alongside the release of these figures then we will probably see a Black figure around summer 2018. I'm excited for figures from the Universe 6 team, Japan has not delivered any figures of those guys and it bugs the hell out of me.

Oh my god...you just made me realize how badly I want a Zamasu figure in my life :o Not even sure if Japanese merchandise has popped up of him yet, but as soon as it does I want iiiit.

And yeah, it'll be pretty awesome to browse store shelves and just happen to come across Dragon Ball stuff...just like the good old days!

Gonna be a while until Zamasu appears if at all.

This! I remember going into the toy area as a kid specifically looking for DBZ stuff. Kmart in my area was surprisingly the best place to get all the great figures.
