Hmm all I know is that the first SCultures figures (Tenkaichi) will be driving school goku and ssj gohan to be released in October, um Medicos Goku at the end of this month, and I believe the Megahosue set this month too along with the S.H. Figuarts special colour Goku to be released at SDCC. I'm sure more news will pop up really soon.
Otaku at heart.

Awesome snip

Yes. Yes. Yes. YES.
HOORAY~

I know it would be too much to expect attack effects (like a big bang attack, etc), but I hope we at least get Vegeta's regular hair and face. Although the Saiyan track record hasn't been too great.

Oh my God, a fully articulated third form of Freeza would be just the best thing ever. He could chill with my Alien figures.
It'll probably never happen though ...
Still, first or final form would be great too.

You truly underestimate Bandai's hunger for your money and vast amount of online exclusives.

True, true!
Well, if that was released I’d happily throw corpus amounts of money at them.

I guess not since nobody has said anything. I'm really interested too.

On another note, does anybody know what this figure is all about?
Jump 40th x Panson Works: Goku

There's no info about it on the HLJ item page. All I can gather is that it was a special figure made for Jump's 40th. It's in stock and I kinda want it. :D
I've got the panson works goku drabaz, hes pretty awesome. Id recommend him as a pickup.

Mannnnnnnn Just got back in and saw the Figuarts Vegeta, that and the special repaint from SDCC are must haves for me. And this is coming from a guy that doesn't even find interest in the line.

FINALLY! I was certain that with Kai flopping, and the lack of news on this for ages that this thing was scrapped! So glad it's finally coming to fruition now. Not only that, but it looks freakin' awesome!

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a reliable place to buy some DG figures, specifically the Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Vegeta, and what I think is a DG version of Super Saiyan Trunks, can anyone recommend a good place to start?

I've found a few on Ebay running for an exceptionally suspiciously low price, so I'm kinda hesitant.....

I got all my DG stuff off Ebay for great prices. It's all legit on there, I actually have yet to see bootleg DG surprisingly. Go go go for it!

I usually just type in dragonball digital grade in the search bar and let it rip.

Oh my god, I just came.

I voted for Trunks when the poll was up for what figure should be made next, but this still looks a-freakin-mazing! I really hope somebody will be selling the newer painted Goku at Otakon. He's the only one that I don't have.

I actually saw a few bootlegs of the SSj3 Vegeta when I was buying one. Several sellers had listings where the figures were attached to these white bases, rather than having the proper clear plastic pyramid that holds the figure up.

Overall though, most of the listings on eBay seem legit. Those figures honestly aren't all that expensive.

White circular bases? Those aren't bootleg those are just manufacturer pics, if you go on the site and see them on display they're on those white circular bases. They're still legit in fact.

Oh really? My bad then. I knew that the actual figures didn't have that kind of base, so I just assumed that the pictures showing those bases weren't legitimate.

I know this might not be legit, as it's the only place I've seen this mentioned, but according to someone on another forum called Transformer World, the Vegeta Figuarts will be a Tamashii Web Exclusive, which from what I gather means it's a Japan only, online thing, and getting one in the US would be very hard, and very expensive.
Yeah, there are colored Vegetas at TamaFest. Apparently he will be a TWE for November.
Just putting this out there in case. I can't seem to find any info anywhere else though, so take it with a grain of salt.

That would be disappointing if true, but only because of the extra amount of money I'd have to shell out (and I'm still trying to obtain all the current releases). I'd still get one though, eventually...

If that's true - and it wouldn't surprise me - it's a bit annoying having to spend extra money.
But I'm still really interested in getting this figure.
