I'm wondering what that "Dragon Ball Heroes Collection" entails.

Heck, I'm going to pre-order it.... more information will be released soon, and if it's nothing good, I'll just cancel my order. I'd hate to miss out on something new and exciting.

Also, this is super cheap. I ordered it along with a Goku puzzle.

I would probably get that, but I feel like I have enough Freeza arc figures..
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

I wouldn't say I do... most of my smaller figures are from Buu arc. Although I do have the HQ DX figures of almost every Freeza form...
But there are cool because they are in different poses than you usually get their figures in.

Hope this starts popping up seeing as it's already been released in Japan for almost a month.
I also loved that they released this with a clear haired variant. Sucks for those that already have it though... lol.

It's supposed to be available in July, I may get it...
For those that love megahouse sets you should pick this up since it's 26$ at Angolz:

I'm considering getting it myself...

Oh, awesome! I've been wishing I would have the chance to pick that one up! Even if it's slightly different, it's good enough for me!
My Wild Style figures have arrived, and they actually look pretty good. You can't really see, because of the lousy photo, but they are not too bad.
They are also bigger than I had thought, which is what this photo is for, for comparisons sake.

In my opinion this version is better than the original since his hair is translucent really bringing in the Super effect.
I commented on your WS in the other thread, but still nice figures, great additions to any DB collection and I can't wait to get mine!

So yea...that Goku is already up for pre-order at a few places for July. I got my order in from HobbyLinkJapan. I wish they would just take the payment now. This is more of an impulse buy for me and I might end up regretting it (or not have the money) when July rolls around.

Hobby Link Japan is my figure site, so I just pre-ordered it.
Plus it's a lot cheaper there than Toy Logic.
I'm still not a huge fan of clear versions, but it's sure as heck better than not getting any version of it.

I'm still not sure whether I like the clear version more than the regular version too. Maybe it'll be better once I actually have it in hand. If not, I'm sure someone would be willing to trade the clear version for the regular version somewhere in the world.

ZOMFG YES!
OMG
I'm getting doubles and triples of some of these. Definitely triples of the SSJ3, maybe triples of the driving school Goku due to rarity? Triples of the Gohan and 16, and doubles of the rest. Oh my god!!!!
I thought they'd only release a few, but to hear they're all being released that sick, also fits in with some speculation we had about it earlier on the thread about it.

So how big/expensive can we expect these to be?
I'm kind of concerned about that.
And hopefully Hobby Link Japan will sell these, since I've only ever bought from them.

Probably 30 bucks a pop? It also depends on the scale, I know the MSP Piccolo will be huge, but if the others are released at the HQDX scale then you're looking at probably 20-30$ a pop depending on preorder discounts and where you buy them etc.
