I'm ashamed to say that I don't have $25+ to spare right now, but if no one bids, will you be putting this back up for sale?
EDIT: Nevermind. Someone, probably from this forum, won the item already. I'm going to go scream into a pillow now for being broke.

The joints aren't nearly as distracting as they usually are one these figures.

I know, because of Cell's designs they're almost seamless.

Welp, Bluefin posted some teasers for DB stuff on their Facebook page.
So far it looks like we're getting Figuarts for Saiyan Saga Vegeta, Kuririn and 18.

Wow...
I'm still on the fence on whether I should get the SS Vegeta and Trunks figures, but now I'm starting to want to get them, seeing as how we nearly have every important Cell-arc character. I was hoping to hold off until the Saiyan-arc Vegeta and normal Goku, and then stick with them and Piccolo, but now I have to rethink this...
Also, is this teasing Saiyan-arc figures?

It does look like the area where Piccolo dies...
Which makes me hopeful that we'll be seeing Normal Goku shortly since they teased five DBZ Figuarts to be revealed at SDCC.
EDIT:
And Final-Form Freeza has been confirmed!

Yes indeed...
I need to do some major rethinking right about now...
Also, is it just me, or do 18's arms look a tad long and weird?
[EDIT]
HOLY SHIT
Well, there goes my money... Lol at Nappa's face!

I realize that it's a long shot and that people aren't exactly clamoring for it, but I guess I just wanna say to wake me up if we ever see a Figuarts for Son Goten.

Hopefully we can
finally get a release date for Goku soon... God, I think it's been two years now since they first showed him.

The DBZ Figuarts line is now exclusive to the US. They are only released in limited quantities on the Tamashii Web Shop in Japan.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.

FUUUUUUUUUU
I'm gonna start selling some stuff so I can get them all. DVD's can wait (I'll probably even buy Kai part 8 on Madman NZ's release date if it means getting more money in time).

Nappa looks so deformed, actually LOOK at his body, I'm loling atm.
I'm not even into this line (only have SDCC SSJ Goku from it) but I for sure want that Perfect Cell and Saiyan Arc Vegeta.

I want to buy that Nappa just because of how ridiculous it looks.
