Awesome! A younger Teen Trunks! Now I definitely intend to get Future Gohan for joint display.

We also seem to have Trunks and Vegeta figures coming in the DX line.

Hope to see some pictures of those soon.

FINALLY
Some superb looking HSCF'S, they started strong with the random SSJ3 Vegeta, and SSJ3 Broly, and just completely blew me away with that Broly set... Oh god I want:
SS Trunks, SS Goku, SS Vegeta from series 1 (I'll probably just get them all)
All of series 2 Especially Prince Vegeta!
"Meh" for series 3, there was something about a special edition Bardock being released (he has his armed folded and looks incredible, I think for the legend of Saiyan line?) in conjunction with a nice regular Goku..., so I'll hold off on that...
ALL of set 4 omg Kid Trunks!!!, Future Gohan!!!!, and the Ohzaru Vegeta and Bardock!!! Magnificent!
Again a big "meh" to set 5 and the phantom Saiyans...
Set 6 Oh you better believe I want that!!!!
My collection is about to get a little bit nicer, as I stated before I wasn't really into HSCF until they dropped the SSJ3's... and now with those insane releases I'm definitely interested in this type now! I won't collect every single one from the earlier lines, but I'll start paying attention now...

Edit: OMFG at that Vegeta and Trunks, I definitely must have those!

HSCF is really going above and beyond, lol... wait this IS the HSCF line right? or is it the Legend of Saiyan line, either way I'm definitely on them, any idea on release dates? I'm going to guess early 2011?

Yeah, mostly January and March.

The Vegeta and Trunks seem to be coming in Febuary. They look good, but hopefully the shiny look won't be so prominent in the released product.

I've been waiting for a good Teen Trunks... he's one of my favourite characters.

I will be getting all of those figures Mike just posted. Well, maybe not all the Broly ones, but definitely the Paragas.

Actually the figures I posted are NOT HSCF figures but a separate smaller scaled line, also from Banpresto. The Legend of Saiyan figures are a continuation of the Freeza Force line. VegettoEX did a review on some of them that might give you a better idea of these new figures:

Did I see a Bio-Broly figure? :lol:

I might just buy a few of the Saiya-jin figures.
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Hey, I'm liking that upcoming Bardock... I held off on getting all the others because I'm kind of tired of getting figurines in the same pose. Finally one a little different.

Trunks looks really cool and modern compared to the others. Almost as if he's from another show. :mrgreen:

Yeah, I've had that problem for about 2 weeks now. I think it's widespread.

edit: Hey Mike, do you know if Bandai has stopped producing figures for the HG line and special HG line?

I've just realised that the Trunks and Vegeta are the same line as my ordered Gohan and Goku.... oh man, if they are all to scale they will look incredible together!

Are you talking about the legend of Saiyan ones?
If so how much did you pay for those?
I definitely want the Trunks and Vegeta, but I'm skeptical about the Gohan and Goku...

$50 Australian for both.... that's from Hobby Link Japan. I don't really need another Goku, but I pre-ordered it months ago without much thought, because I was so happy to be getting a Teen Gohan. :P

I haven't got them yet.... I haven't even paid for them yet.... but my order is ready to be paid for, I just need to wait a few days.

I don't have any Vegeta or Trunks figures, so I'm really psyched for them.

I'm really enjoying collecting these toys!

Excellent! I know! Don't you just love collecting?!!! :D

I will for sure get the Vegeta and Trunks becuase they look downright badass, especially the trunks.. I'm skeptical on the Goku and Gohan so Ill lay off on those until a later date, but I'm all on the Vegeta/Trunks, lol...

50 bucks for both? Ouch, they should make these a little cheaper in price :/

That's not too bad considering how much they would charge me if I bought them here (well, I can't even get them here).... I import nearly everything these days... it's cheaper. Toy collecting is not a cheap hobby here down under.

In case you didn't know, Hobby Link has a cool gashapon set on sale, it seems to be up your alley.

As soon as I have the money, I'll be grabbing a set!

That set is pretty nice, I don't like the size of those though they're too small for me :P, I bought that set a few months ago but thank you for the link, many eyes searching for deals are excellent, I recommend that set though go get it, but all the figures except fat Buu, Piccolo and Cell are extremely small

Like how small are we talking? 2 Inches? 3 Inches?

I wish the sites would be more specific. :P

Bandai's Soul of Hyper Figuration figures are approximately 2 inches tall.
