Mike's Upcoming JPNS Toy Releases Thread

[SuperSaiyan3Goku]

Big Bad Toy Store has the Super Saiyan 3 Goku up for preorder... for $112.99.

I hope Bluefin gets this one too...

Bluefin.... is that who put SSJ Vegeta on Amazon US?

Or am I completely off?

[Raithos]

Vegeta was just as inflated in the beginning. The price will go down to reasonable levels in a week or two.
I don't even want it anyway, the key element of his hair is off the mark.

[ssjtrunks51]

My attempts to get the Goku and Gohan figuarts are still fruitless, and HLJ isn't gonna be restocking any time soon...

EDIT: While I'm on about Figuarts, Piccolo is now discontinued on HLJ. As long as Goku and Gohan don't follow...

EDIT 2: Latest on the Figuarts watch, SSJ3 Goku is down to $69.99 on BBTS

New images of the Tenkaichi figure tournament round 2 have surfaced, this tournament will focus on the original Dragon Ball, I don't really care about it, but I know most here will love it:

[StarRot]

They all look pretty great.
I’m surprised they made a Gyu Mao, but I’m glad they did – there needs to be more figures of the minor characters.
Lunch and Tao Pai Pai looks real good.
I’m disappointed they didn’t make a ChiChi – a little figure of her either in the tournament getup or the armour bikini thing would have been great. It would have looked kinda neat paired up with the Gyu Mao figure.

Definitely. When I first read Raithos' post about it being Dragon Ball, not Z, I was really hoping they wouldn't do something like Goku, 23rd Budokai Goku, Piccolo Daimao, Piccolo, Kuririn and Tenshinhan (meaning not a ton of typical characters who can already be found in some way in Z-related figures).

[Raithos]

Hmm Star I agree about a Chi Chi, I wouldn't have minded that, but...
I'm pretty sure that's not all of them though, I count only 6, pretty sure there'll be 10...

Goku, Krillin and Tao BaiBai look similar to the insert posters of the kanzenban:

1st row, no. 1, no. 3 and no. 7 ...#

but only 6 figures are less for a competition, where is the rest?

So I'm interested in some of those Dragon Ball Kai sculpture figures that were posted about. I was looking at that inxspro.com website, but while some of the figures are listed normally, others are being listed as "HK Version".

http://inxspro.com/index.php/index.php? ... gory_id=84

I'm assuming that it would be a bad idea to order the HK versions, as they're probably knock-offs? Does this add any concern to ordering the ones that are listed normally?

It's not that they're knock offs they're authentic, it's just that they were sent to a different market. The "Japanese versions" are considered the best quality existing for the Japanese market while Honk Kong Ver. is for the international market with standard quality. The toei stickers also come into play, read up a bit here (the stickers apply universally to Toei items.)

This has been the driest year for the Dragonball Toys Collectors... it's already October and there were no other toys coming beside the SSJ3 Gokou Figurarts and Tenkaichi Figure Tournament 2

I know! My wallet is happy though , let's me focus on other things after the onslaught of DB stuff in 2010...

So, in my grande quest for SH figuarts, I'm tempted to buy Goku from Toywiz, though I've heard many terrible things about them. Are they as bad as I've heard?

[Metalwario64]

After searching, it looks like Toywiz only has the SDCC version, so if that's the one you're after, then I'd also recommend you get it from either eBay seller ToyArena, or Anime King.

I've bought many things from Anime King in the past (including my Goku Figuarts), and I've bought the recent Mega Man X D-arts from Toy Arena, and have never had a problem with either of them.

I've heard that price is Toywiz's biggest issue, but their price is decent seemingly for the SDCC Goku Figuarts. I don't know how much shipping is there, and that may make the price higher than other places. I only bought one thing from Toywiz I believe, and I received it no issue, but I think shipping took a bit of time.

You can probably see the shipping before you place the final order at Toywiz, and if it totals to more than $60, then go with the eBay sellers I listed, as their totals are no more than $60.

Toywiz does have the older goku, but he's seventy dollars. Thanks for showing me those eBay sellers, but my problem is I don't want the SDCC exclusive because he's the anime colours and I want him to fit in with my others, which are the manga colours as you know, and neither Toy Arena or Anime King have the older Goku. Price isn't too important to me, and I'm willing to pay seventy for the Toywiz figure, though I'm worried about their reliability, bringing me back to the original question: Are Toywiz reliable?

EDIT: I also just found the older 'manga goku' http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dragon-Ball- ... 0on%20ebay. He's about the same price, possibly cheaper, so I'll probably just go with him.

I can also vouch for Anime King, amazing seller.
Um, I'd get the SDCC one first, more bang for your buck and the regular one will always be available this one won't.
Although Toywiz is absolutely atrocious, I hate them.

When I searched Toywiz's site, I only saw the SDCC one, so I assumed that was what you were referring to.

If you want the original colored one, then that seller you posted looks reliable and has high ratings, so I'd go with them.

Great. Now I just need to pluck up courage to spend a hundred for Gohan.

[Raithos]

Great. Now I just need to pluck up courage to spend a hundred for Gohan.

lol why would you do that, at most 70$ if not cheaper, 100$ from where?

The one hundred was on amazon lol it was the cheapest I could find checking all of the ebay sellers and other stores I knew. If you know a place that has him for cheaper enlighten me please.
