Front row is July, Back Row is August, The Mega WCF Brolly should be August, although some of the UFO machines might get him in July.
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force
If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure
If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me

It appears that some west coast sellers on eBay have Figuarts Goku in stock! I hope to have mine by this weekend.

Apologies for the double-post but lookie what I got!
(Sorry for the lackluster quality of the pics, can't keep a steady hand anymore.)
"Ka-me-ha-me..."
"HA--!!"
And here's some goofy pics for anyone who is a fan of the Shonen Jump games for DS:
"Let's go eat!"
"ORA--!!"
"Wah...!"
"..."
And here's how I have him displayed at the moment:
http://s26.postimg.org/3tndysgt5/Shonen ... isplay.jpg
Great sculpting and lovely paint (Glad they went with a bright orange rather than a deep orange-red here!) and the accessories are really fun though I wish he came with a forward-looking yelling face and a smirking face. The only big qualm I have with the figure is that he really needs a rotating joint at the knees, it'd improve his leg articulation.
All in all, he's a great figure and is the best Goku they've done so far.

Oh man, you've got a Jurassic Park poster... I searched all over the internet for one of those.

Yeah, it took me years to track down that particular poster. Luckily I won it in an eBay auction awhile back. I also put my Jurassic Park 3D tickets in the frame. (Which is what I do with the other framed posters I own which had their movies re-released in theaters like Back to the Future and Raiders of the Lost Ark.)

Saw this on TFW2005. I'm not sure if it's reliable or not:

Info was provided by a fellow admin from DragonBallFigures, who is staffing at A-Kon for this year.
I always liked Broli's design, and I'd love to have "Kid" Boo to go with my SS3 Goku. I wouldn't mind this info being true.

Re: BOG figures
While I already have a ssjg Gokû figure that I'm happy with, I am curious about what they would come up with.
On hiatus.

I'd honestly be happy even if they just repainted the regular Goku as SSG Goku (like
this) despite the discrepancy in proportions.

Haha. I thought the avatar was familiar. I just didn't recognize the name, considering it's different. :p

I still hope they will make a S.H MonsterArts out of the giant size characters like Oozaru Vegeta. I do hope for S.H Figuarts of Coola soon. He will likely be a good seller since he's popular with both the Japanese and Western fandom.
