Not only that, but it looks like the fronts of the boxes form a composite image of Shenlong.

Is that blue thing wearing the Freeza armor fishface?

For pete's sake, it's not a fish; can we move past that? FOX said that picture wasn't the final design. We've now seen pictures OF the final design. The blue figure CLEARLY has a monkey-like face. Movie-Oozaru is a big, distinctly non-fishlike monkey.

Yes, that's an Evolution-style Oozaru wearing armor. Presumably not Goku, though. Either something from Piccolo's exposition about the Saiyans, or a teaser of Vegeta, or something.

I have seen the newer designs obviously, but that toy does not really have a nose. Maybe it is just the angle...

I'm amazed at the Saiya-jin armour on the Ozaru. They even kept the pee-pee flap (as Leotaku calls them)!

And is it just me, or do the two big Kame symbols right next to each other look really stupid?

Is there a reason why the Oozaru is a clear blue? That doesn't make much sense to me.

As a proud owner of the Bandai US localized DBZ and DBGT Real Works figures, Ultimate Spark figures, Wave 1 and Wave 2 4" poseable figures, Power Booster figures, and Flash Changers, I must say I can't wait to pick these Evolution figs up!

At least the four-inchers have decent articulation...although those ball-hip-joints look a little odd. O_o

So when are these coming out again?

Screw these figures! I want those Dragon Balls alone.
Next, I'll need a Freeza in his hover chair figure.

Are those sitting on some kind of uncooked pastry?

Hmm, Chatku has brown eyes in these figures.

If I get all the figures I might be tempted to paint the Oozaru figure.

May? A little late on the uptake there, Bandai. By then kids will be into Wolverine or whatever movie is coming out then.

If anything don't figures come out BEFORE a movie is released. Hell, I already saw some X-men Origins Wolverine figures when at was at Toys R Us, which yet again had ZERO Dragonball stuff. Seriously, not one store near me carries DB stuff, its fucking annoying.

Hey. That's pee-pee flap.

Maybe it doesn't represent a physical form of the Oozaru, but something like a mental image sort of thing. Isn't Goku supposed to fight the Oozaru within himself or something like that? Or maybe that's just in the game. I haven't been paying too much attention to story stuff.
