That's why I only plan to get Cell and Gohan. Dr. Gero is terrible, and I don't like the character #19. He kinda freaks me out.

Actually the #19 is a really sharp looking figure and probably the best one of him made, but then again I feel like they probably haven't made many of him.

No, I just meant I don't like #19. :shock:

How's the Cell and SSJ Kid Gohan figures? The Cell looks really nice from what I've seen.

I was considering getting the Kid Gohan one, but I already have the Legend of Saiyan Gohan pre-ordered, so I figured that would do me.

So, I was thinking, since they're going through and making figures for the not-as-popular characters, they're probably going to make one for Fat Boo. This makes me gleeful.

The Cell is the best figure in that series, The Gohan is actually second worst, his head is obscenely too big, but overall it's not terrible.

I'm looking forward to #17 because I have no decent figure of him other that Super 17 which I don't count.

I also want the future Gohan, Trunks in Saiyan Armor and any other obscure character they put out. I am really pissed I missed the earlier figures cause now if I want to get the Krillin, Yamcha, Vegeta Nappa and Raditz, and even Nail, I have to go to ebay, which means the potential of getting a bootleg because the HSCF figures are very commonly bootlegged.

I am anxiously awaiting to find a Kaioken Goku figure. I've been really wanting one, but I can't find one. Is Gohan really that bad? I was kinda looking forward to getting him.

Bandai Digital grade 3 - release date is slated for late December 2010

Image
Image

This set includes Super Saiyan Goku charging up for a ka me ha me ha
Piccolo regenerating his arm
Android 20 (Dr. Gero)
Android 15!!!
and Semi-perfect cell, who looks particularly good here if I do say so myself with a nice ready to strike pose.

I'm also an avid collector of the Imagination sets and the HG lines, I wanted to pick up the android Special HG set, but I realize that digital grade seems to have a trend of releasing a variant of Goku, one random variant, 2 androids, and a form of Cell... so hopefully digital grade 4 will have androids 17,18, perfect cell, some form of Goku, and maybe even android 16.

Coinciding with the Digital Grade 3 release is a special Super saiyan SS3 digital grade release featuring:SS3 VEGETA!!!, SS3 Goku, SS2 Gohan, SS Trunks Max power (Ascended supersaiyan), and one mystery figure that has the outline of Bardock, but hopefully will be SS3 Broly :P, (this is also slated for a December 2010 release)

Image

I find it nice how the line doesn't only stick to only the main DBZ anime since I'm pretty sure android 13 and 15 are movie specials, and SS3 Vegeta is only from DBZ Raging Blast 3... still I'm really excited for the SS3 Vegeta, I'm also glad that they have the ability to go to expand to what it seems like other series meaning a digital grade super saiyan 4's, fusions, buu arc, cell arc etc the possibilities are so high :D

ALSO, I'm looking for the Banpresto HQDX Volume 1 SS Trunks special clear version or just the regular version, I've scoured Ebay, Angolz, HLJ, Amazon, and nada... I really want this one since I'm collecting the HQDX's, could anyone help me on that please?

Bardock? Broly? Can't you see that's freaking Tullece?

Is that collection like the normal DG? As in, in terms of size and stuff? Is it going to be coloured?

lol, maybe

Yeah it's preorder atm you can see it on ebay for like 32$ average. People have already started sucking them up, but I'll be sure to post pics up when the sets are coloured , can't wait. Yeah it should be in scale with the other DG series, it's just a special side edition they're doing guess it's for the end of the year or something?

Well it's either Tullece or Kakarotto (meaning Goku in saiyan armour) either way I already asked my usual dealer to get me that, SS3 Goku and Vegeta and #15. I might pick up #20 and #19 from the previous collection, is this carries on I might as well have all the Jinzoningen in Digital Grade style, instead of the previous collection.

Edit: I take that back, just noticed the hair style and it's Tullece without a shadow of a doubt.

Hmm true, I'm thinking of stopping my work on the HG line and just focusing on DG now, if they release 17, and 18 then I'll stick with DG, the sculpts and paint are all 100% fantastic

edit: damn, I need a dealer... lol

Yeah, HG #17, #18 and #16 are the ugliest figures I own. They're just so damned ugly.

Hey, some are really cool, take Daimao for example, he looks awesome, others, not so much. I've got around 87 figures from the HG line for a reason. My favourite collections have always been Saiyans and Jinzoningen, hence, I will collect these new DG Jinzoningen, and if the armoured Saiyans start coming out on the DG I will collect them too. I'll probably leave everything else as is.
