Oh MAN, have you guys seen the painted SCultures? I should really do a super update with this thread. There's a loooooooooooot of new good DBZ stuff out and on the way too:

Hopefully this isn't considered drastic bumping, but are any of those figures in the above poster's link, marked "DRAFT", avaiable to purchase yet? There's a "buy" link on every page, but they only link to retailer sites and not actual pages. On top of that, any searching I do comes up with nothing; not even a pre-order page.

Those Trunks, Arale, and Lunch figures are absolutely gorgeous.

Nope, none of them have been released yet. They should be out in a few months. those pages should be updated with release dates fairly soon...

I wouldn't worry about that in long, on-going threads like this. Since it constantly pertains to the future releases, it's meant to be bumped.

If the rumors of Buu saga Kai toys coming out then I wonder what we will see. I hope we get S.H Figuarts of Majin Buu, Vegito, Majin Vegeta, Great Saiyaman, Mystic Gohan, Gotenks, and Mr. Satan. I'm still hoping Nappa, #17 and #18 will finally get release for once. I hate when Tamashii Nations shows off stuff and never releases them. Stuff like Akaranger from Goranger, Master Asia, the other Super Sentai/Power Rangers Mechas/Zords and Godzilla 1989.

Anyone see any listings for the BOG DX figures pop up anywhere official/reliable for purchase?

I wish they would give them us an idea of what direction they're going. I hope they get into the Boo Saga. I want Majin Vegeta, Mystic Gohan, Majin Boo, and the Great Saiyaman so bad! If they did a subscription service to help get them out quicker, I would sign up in a heart beat!

One of my most anticipated is a Kid Goku. I voted for him on the SDCC poll. Although, if Majin Vegeta was on the poll, I would have voted for him.

Do those scale with the Figuarts by chance? And will they be available through amazon? I want them!

I'm still believe that I haven't bought any of the DBZ S.H Figuarts. I tend to buy the Kamen Rider ones the most since Kamen Rider has became my new collecting hobby since Mcfarlane toys stop making Spawn stuff.
There's a figuarts Superman coming out! I knew a Batman was, but I didn't know of any other releases. I might have to get them now. I'm going to have to get multiple Goku's so I can have my favorite heroes displayed together. It would be better to get a Great Saiyaman, because he is a tradition superhero.

Well, DXF BOG figures ordered (Ssjg Goku and ssj Vegeta) now I wait. Watched a YouTube video about a Luffy DXF and saw you have to put the body parts together (like it comes disassembled in the box) little nervous about that, but I do have a cu-poche so I do have some experience with assembling these.

I just recieved the Medicos Super Figure Art Collection Super Saiyan Son Goku version 1 from a Chinese seller.
I actually have a question:
Does anyone know if they sell failed quality control versions of figures through non-Japanese sellers?
I mean, these figures are probably still good and 100% authentic, just not top notch quality.

I know for a fact that the figure is authentic, but some of the assembly is a bit disappointing in the hair and several other spots. there's big spaces between some of the locks of hair on my figure. Like this:
????
I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time, everything is 3D blasphemy.
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up, this is not the way I picture me.
I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this. Is it a dream or a memory?

She may be a web exclusive in Japan, but she is likely to get a retail release in the US. The DBZ figuarts sell better in the US and Bluefin can release web exclusives in the US depending on the franchise. Stuff like Godzilla, Megaman, Digimon, Tiger & Bunny, DBZ and Post-Zyuranger Sentai can have web exclusives be brought over here since there's a big enough market for them in the US. Stuff like Ultraman and Kamen Rider can not.

Well if #18 is finally coming out then I hope #17 and Nappa will be release soon. I still want to see a S.H Figuart of Imperfect Cell since he is one of my favorite villain designs.

If Vegeta can get a Saiyan Saga version of himself, Cell can most likely get an Imperfect version of himself.

Okay, I think that makes it a certainty that in addition to that Kuririn figure, I need this 18 one eventually too. Though there is something a little off about her face that I can't quite put my finger on...

I wish but the Saiyan Saga Vegeta is tons more popular and marketable than Imperfect Cell. If anything my only hope that there would be imperfect cell is in the works is the fact that #17 is coming out which has never happened in a "High Quality" release before. The HQDX, SCultures, Ichiban series, none of them had 17 or iImperfect cell. SCultures gave us 16 and 20. I was REALLY hoping for a 17 then but no dice. With 17 finally coming out I may actually sell my Pichi 18 for the Figuarts one since there is a 17 to go with him. Does anyone have a scale of how the Figuarts measure up to the HQDX/SCulture series?

I still love to see a S.H MonsterArts of Hirudegarn. I feel like I'm one of the very few people that like him and I don't think a toy of him was ever made despite being around for almost 20 years.
