I'd like to see what these figures of Bardock's gang look like.... and this Santa Kame-sennin.
Found an image of the Santa Kamesennin:

Thanks!

Hm... might get that, just because it's different from most of them.

Banpresto High Spec Coloring Figures

Series 15 (Kai Series 6)


Image

This series consists of four all new releases focusing on the current episodes of DragonBall Kai airing in Japan. These figures are set for an August release and retail for around 900 yen. It's refreshing to see Banpresto focusing on the villains for a change as opposed to releasing only Super Saiyans. We now have both Cell's first and final forms, missing only his second form and between series 15 and 16 all the Androids are now finished. The younger, Cell arc Super Saiyan Gohan is also a strong addition and I'm sure we see him rereleased in the near future in both his normal and Super Saiyan 2 forms.

Series 16 (Kai Series 7)

Image

This series once again consists of four all new releases based on the Andorid/Jinzouningen arc of DragonBall. These figures are set for a December release and retail for around 900 yen. In addition to completing the Androids, this series also gives us (the rarely released) future Gohan. We are also getting a long hair Trunks in his Saiyan armor. A regular capsule corp Trunks was already released way back in Series 3 of the HSCF so it's nice to see Banpresto going with logical variants as opposed to any rereleases.

They made Future Gohan, does this mean Kai will have the TV special?

In Z, there was a flashback where Trunks and Gohan were fighting 17 and 18. It might have been the episode where Cell became perfect and was transforming.

Well, the story of Trunks was a special in the manga itself, so there's a possibility, but I doubt it.

It is taking all of my will power not to buy those Kai figures. They look way too cool.

Where's the best place to buy HSCF DB figures? How can I call myself a fan if I don't even have one?

For example:

This is an image of the authentic High Spec Coloring Figures Series 5 by Banpresto.

Image

Now this is an image of the bootleg version of those figures. I found this within 30 seconds of searching on ebay and sure enough the seller is located in China and had an opening bid of $0.99.

Hey Mike, do you know what height the HSCF figures are, also those bootlegs ones? I saw the bootlegs online, and it said they were 10-12cm. I don't think it's right, because that's very small.
