The only thing I really like about DBH it's their willingness to design new battle clothes for the established cast. Goku's DBH dougi is very cool. It's something Super just couldn't being itself to do; move away from Z's outfits and create some exclusive battle clothes in the way the F movie did. All they did was add the kanji to Goku's late Z dougi.

Heroes started a new storyline/expansion this month ( Universe Mission 1 beginning with the Prison Planet arc) and the Avatar characters got another class upgrade so they can use SSB and equivalent skills for all races. It also looks like it's using the Super-continuity characters so that might be why it's under the Super branding.

Does Goten like fuse with himself or something?

4 DBS gashapons lines in July only a fraction is actually DBS releated... :problem:

Not that I know of. I think the Goku/Satan fusion Gotan is getting a new card or something. Maybe it's supposed to be him?

Nah, it is definitely the kanji for Son Goten, strange.

Anyway looks like we in for a stacked June and July!

Also we will get an idea of what Banpresto will release for the new movie in May once the Oct-Dec schedules updates (hopefully it updates sooner) of course December being movie month! They're currently planning it and I wish I was a fly on the wall or there telling them what to do! Lol. If I were to guess we'd probably get WCF sets standard and probably continuation of the DXF line as that is the only current non exclusive to something prize line, for the safe bets. Then maybe later on Goku FES and Grandista and hopefully an Ichiban Kuji too.

I feel bad for those who wanted some ToP character love thrown; are these DBH avatars that much more popular than even the DBS exclusive saiyans? Like is Note really that much more popular than Caulifla and Kale?

Note and Beat might be since they're effectively the mascots for Dragon Ball Heroes. I find it a little hard to believe that the other Hero avatars would be, especially the Namekian who's hardly in anything.

Ah, could be. Feels a weird thing to distinguish but makes the most sense.

ToP merch is a lost cause now. I've given up expectations. Kale and Cauli I'd call fairly main characters in the arc, but they've barely done anything with them to even know if they are popular or not, the most available merch for them is a ¥200 UDM Kafla key chain figure that's it.

We're still suffering from their poor 2016 when they barely merched any DBS despite 2016 having two new material arcs and they've been playing catch up on Trunks arc ever since.

Hmm. I see, so I take it the UI Goku, Jiren and SS Future Trunks will be the DBS characters?

Seems that way, yeah. Wouldn't be surprised if Vegeta, Goku and Mai pop up too:

SS4 Xeno Goku's gotten a lot of focus in the recent Heroes trailers so that's probably why he's getting so many figures. In the last trailer for Dark Demon Realm Mission, he was seen fighting Broly Dark (SS4 Time Breaker Broly powered up by the 7 star Dark Dragon Ball :crazy:) and Final Form Mira, and in the first trailer for Universe Mission he fights SSB Goku:

Surprised they didn't pick SS4 vs SSGSS for the VS gashapon! I see what Chuquita means about DBH and costume changes. I like Vegeta's boots, also RF gi Goku with an undershirt looks weird! Also a Capsule Corp logo? What's that about?

Not sure. I don't know if it's ever been addressed in-story but I imagine it's just to show that Bulma/Capsule Corp made them.

Dunno if this can be asked here in this thread, but I'm going to start collecting the DBS blue-rays. But I've looked on ebay and amazon and each 'season' goes for around 30$. So is there anywhere I can get 'em for significantly cheaper? I think the DVD's might be the way to go instead if I'm on a budget, but at that point I might as well just buy the episodes digitally.

The cheapest I've seen them is at a local wal-mart where they go for $24.99 or thereabouts. The dvds are usually $20.

Battle costume changes like this are the big thing I wish Super would take inspiration from dbh idea wise.

Super has them but they don't really stick for very long. Heroes has the advantage of multiple timelime shenanigans so you have Goku: Xeno and Vegeta: Xeno who have spiffy new outfits (the new manga chapter shows them shirtless with long coats like some kind of delinquents) and then the capsule gi Goku which is just "Son Goku" and might be Super's Goku. New outfits are also an excuse to roll out new cards for Heroes, too, so I'm sure they take advantage of that. :lol:

I'm really eager to see what the first merchandise for the new Goku will look like. I wonder if they'll stick with a semi-Yamamuro classic style or if the sculpt will better reflect the new designs?

Delinquent Goku and Vegeta sounds fun. :mrgreen:
They're 10 chapters in so far?

Now that you mention it in I'm also curious about if they'll continue with Yamamuro in dbh.
