Dang. I thought the Dragon Fist figure would be SSJ4 Goku.

Goku Xeno looks amazing.

Cool at the Cheelai figure, now can we get some new scale figures of Beerus, Golden Freeza, Hit, Fused Zamasu and Jiren?

Suzuki's special move GT Dragon Fist Goku's as above: Bandai are now releasing prize figures overseas excl not just recolour this Sept they doing a Grandista All Might. So chances for DB getting prize figure type figures for those characters look good.

I don't know if is a mistake or a mixup, but My Figure Collection has listed the two GT Gokus as part of the Super Chousenshi Retsuden line.

It's definitely a mistake since those weren't even displayed with the other Restuden figures, besides they won't re-use the same mould in the same volume unless it's a one off line or a line that isn't normally a volume release & the special move series isn't normally a volume release.

Ah, they fixed it already.

Anyways, I've been looking at the pictures of the BOS Goku SSJ4 and man, he looks much better than I expected

It might be the lighting or the camera, but his fur looks redder than the production images made it look. Here's hoping the Vegeta and Gogeta are of the same quality.

According to a few people it seems it has the same problem as Omen. The metallic hair isn't coming through as much. Might just get it so I can repaint it with SS4 Goku's original colour scheme because I think it looks better.

56th Prize Fair full photo bans & HQ images:
Nakazawa sculpted Young SS Gohan, Match Makers Gogeta & Broly (don't think I mentioned it on here), BWFC SP Broly & Cheelai, didn't sculpt Adult Gohan probably Kato. MRS Sculpted the Gohan WCF. Hiroki obviously Gotenks but rumoured to have done the GxM.

VS#11 Full scan:
Wonder if Yuuki sculpted any of these.

I've seen some past pages of this thread, I found this commentary.

How is that Japanese fans aren't directly supporting Bandai?

I've always hear Japanese are the main buyers of anime merchandise. Is not the case for Super?

It is a bit complicated but when it comes to things sold direct from retailers such as Bandai Candy products, Premium Bandai products, Megahouse etc fans in Japan are supporting these directly.

However when it comes to Prize Figures and Gashapon, Bandai (and formally Banpresto) made/make their money by selling cases to gamestations and stores so any figures sold after through other means ie AmazonJP etc that money will not be going to Bandai they've made their money. That is why prize figures are often safe because Bandai are more concerned with what would get more cases orders from gamestations and then you have the gamestations having to decide how much of a figure to order based on how popular they think it'll be. However if fans aren't showing interest in a figure line/character/form and gamesations are having a hard time getting rid of so next time that figure line/character/form appears they'll naturally put in lower case orders, so fans do have some sort of effect but it is all a slow process.

This is also why Prize Fairs are by invitation only so fans just can't rock up to the event. Where as the recent Hobby Expo was open to fans.

The poor face sculpt is the real issue.

Thank you for the clarification. It's pretty interesting.

Which is why Cheelai getting her own sole prize figure release in December is huge as it is the first new non Saiyan character since Beerus & Whis in early 2014 to have a sole release. If Cheelai gets good case orders then that will show Bandai that they can start to release other modern DB characters that aren't Saiyans. So hopefully the gamestations have taken a note of her internet popularity!

The thing I do not know yet is when gamestations have to file case orders like when they have to place the orders for December's figures for example. A couple gamestation branches strangely follow me, so I might scoot them a message.
