Mike's Upcoming JPNS Toy Releases Thread

[Kingdom Heartless]

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

-Mike

That's not too bad, I reckon I'll still pick it up. I have the full set of Dragon Ball Collection #3, and they're probably just as small, and they look great.

-Mike

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

I wish the sites would be more specific.

Sorry for not getting back to you, Mike is right. The average height is 2 inches, some are 1 inch and some are 3 inches... lol. Basically they're scaled to the size of the characters, but usually with a 1-3.5 inch limit

Mike! Mike! I have a question though!!! Is the HG line complete for Bandai's Dragonball figures?

[Minigt]

I don't know about you guys (and I don't know if this has been posted before ..sorry if it has) but I am realy looking forward to an official, no bootleg SSJ3 Vegeta!

I haven't seen anything definitive one way or the other but it has been quite a while since any new HG series were released or announced. The last series released was HG23 which came out in December of 2009. (Wow that's even longer than I thought.) Bandai has been releasing the DG Gashapon however and I consider them to be the same series. (well DG an evolution of HG)

Oh, and Minigt I think you're forgetting the Banpresto HSCF SS3 Vegeta.

Oh Yeah! I even have that one too. What a dumb ass I am. I still want the new Bandai version. The Gohan with sensu's looks pretty sweet too.

[Raithos]

Thanks Mike, I felt that was the case, seeing as those HG sets run for as low as 18 bucks on Ebay now, lol. The only reason why I'd differentiate the lines is the clear line in quality, and the fact that Bandai is remaking models they've already released in the HG line into the Digital Grade line. (For example: re release of Imperfect Cell, Android 19, Android 20, etc), basically like they're selecting the best characters and releasing them in significant poses etc. And I guess it's no coincidence that we're seeing all these android and Imperfect Cell releases along with the SSJ Vegeta, and SSJ Trunks Legend of Saiyan since Dbz Kai is in that arc now if I'm not mistaken. One of the great things about Kai is Bandai gets an excuse to make amazing figures , also I can't wait for the HSCF Android 17 and 18

I posted the Digital Grade 3 pic a page or two back
I already pre-ordered a seperate SSJ3 Digital Grade Vegeta (for an extra and mint purposes.. I'm just OCD like that...), and then I'll get a second one when I get the set as well. He's going to be so epic I can't wait to get him... and I'll stick him right next to my Banpresto HSCF SSJ3 Vegeta, and SSJ3 Broly, I should get HSCF SSJ3 Goku. I love the Digital Grade line becuase the detail is phenomenal, you can tell they're really making an effort to produce top quality stuff. I mean the HG line was amazing, but the Digital Grade line makes HG look soft, lol.

Hello, I'm new here.
Mike do you know if next year or this year more DWC for DB Kai will be released??
since DB Kai in Japan is almost where DWC left with the android saga, and there is still perfect Cell , Darbura & Babidi and Majin boo and Kid boo saga left. you think they will release more figures as soon as the cell saga starts?

[omegacwa]

I don't like these gashapon sets that come "randomly packed". So... I could end up getting 12 of the same figure... no thanks.

Well... You can always NOT buy them that way... They're sold in lots of places where you get what you want.

Lately, I've been hearing some disturbing rumors that the Banpresto HQDX line is going to die out... what are your thoughts on this Mike? I really hope it doesn't since there a couple more characters I'd like to see, like: Cell (all forms... I don't count the creature releases as a part of this), SSJ3 Goku, SSJ4 Goku (How are you going to release SSJ4 Gogeta/Vegeta and not SSJ4 Goku? lol) as well as Android 17 and normal Future Trunks. I still believe there are a few more figures Banpresto could pump out. Also to all other users, what do you think? Is the line going to die out or are we going to see a few more characters?

Considering most stores sell out of them days after they release them, I don't see why they would stop making them.

[dragonxpiece]

any one knows if the DWC will continue?

[Kingdom Heartless]

What exactly is that?

[dragonxpiece]

DWC is the World Collectible , by Banpresto.
they are running at same time a One Piece line called WCF.

DWC stopped with vol 7 of dragon ball kai which was broly volumen. but they only made till Andorid saga, and thre is still the Majin saga, babidi, perfect cell saga and others.

I haven't seen anything either way but they seemed to be a highly popular and successful series so I don't see why they wouldn't continue them. Perhaps they're waiting for Kai to get up to those episodes before they release the Buu era stuff.

Pretty much the same answer as above. Banpresto is fond of rebranding lines and starting the numbering over again so perhaps those were the rumors?

-Mike

perhaps and hopefully
there are so many good figures they can do , i believe more than 50 more.
i just hope they dont focus all their attention to One Piece and come back to Dragon Ball

[Raithos]

I hope they continue the line, I definitely want to see a SS3 Goku and a thumbs down Majin Buu... then I can rest from the line.

(I don't count Max Muscle Mania SSJ3 Goku, or the Majin Buu with his head to the side either )

[Mike]

I love the coherent look and style of the DWC figures but never bought any as they were too rare and too expensive. I may go back and track down a few select figures one day. I especially love the obscure character selection they went with.

Also a few people have asked about the status of dragonballtoys, and I think it's safe to say at this point that the old site and forum are gone for the foreseeable future. I haven't heard anything definitively but it would seem that Action Online (the people who actually own the site) have decided to finally let the site die. I don't necessarily appreciate the site being yanked into oblivion without fair warning either but what's done is done. In any case, myself and some of the previous staff of DBT have started a new replacement board pertaining to anything and everything Dragonball toys. You are all invited and encouraged to join of course. And I think that should just about wrap up my shameless plug.
