Super Saiyan Raditz?
It does look like that, but I assume it's just the lighting.

EDIT: Though Bardock's hair looks black, so.... weird.
That's what I thought, since his hair was black..hmm

That's cool...but also extremely disappointing. Was REALLY wanting Pure Buu.

Buuhan is my favorite, so I'm happy now. I wonder if Buutenks and Buuhan will be two packs or release separately?

it's nice to see them, they just aren't the forms I was looking forward to. Honestly, they picked what I thought would be the least likely forms to be made. I would have bet that pretty much everyone would have assumed Pure, Fat or the base form of Evil Buu would have been the most likely choices (though maybe not the forms they wanted). Still though, I feel this opens up a doorway to to more forms of Freeza and Cell to be produced too, so I guess that's a good thing. I'd like all the forms to be made.

As for these Buu figures, I doubt they are a 2 pack. That's a decent amount of plastic, so it'd probably get more expensive than they'd like. I remember it being said that they wanted to keep all their figures within a certain price range and Broli was pushing that limit. Looking at them too, it doesn't really seem like there is any place for them to come apart and just be parts for the same figure either with that Gohan shirt.

So I'm going to say they are individual releases, same as all the Goku (and now Gohan and Vegetto) figures that have reused the same bodies and still charged full price.

Since Perfect Cell can't be reissue then I hope they can do Super Perfect Cell. I know there is not a big difference between the two, but if Tamashii Nations can do another version of Godzilla 2000 for the SHMA line then Super Perfect Cell can be possible (In other words, they can a brand new figure that is hardly different from the first). Super Perfect Cell could come with Cell Juniors as well.

At this rate, that will only be done for the DBZ line as SDCC exclusives. Meaning I may be forced to miss out like I did with Arlian Vegeta. I was going to buy it cheaper from Bluefin's store, but my order was canceled for some reason. I placed it before they ran out of stock on the site, but I guess they didn't actually have enough supply left to fulfill it.

Holy fuck, I think my heart just stopped for a second there.I still want Pure Buu, but I NEED this. It isn't Godku, but it might be better.

Kental is going to freak, and I think I might join him.

2 of the Boo Fusions were shown off, too. (Gotenks and Gohan) and Ultimate Gohan, too!

So many future releases I hope (most of) them get releases!
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

SSJ4 Goku? Sweet! Looks like a SSJ4 Vegeta will probably release in the future as well. Knowing him though, I'll have to snag him up day 1 because if I wait, the price will probably skyrocket to over $100 in no time. Eh, I'll probably get 2. One to re-sell at a later time hehe.
I wonder if SSJ4 Goku will be worth a lot some day too...hmm. I know Vegetto will be rare but I don't have much of an interest in him.

SS4 Goku is so bought. I have my qualms with GT, but it's still very nostalgic for me, given the mysticism it had early in my fandom. Unfortunately, I only see the Super Saiyan 4s getting made.

Also, is it just me, or are the Buu figures' legs short looking? It could be the pose, and I hope that's all it is.

I'm hoping they at least do SS4 Goku, SS4 Vegeta, SS4 Gogeta, Super Bebi Vegeta 2, Super 17, San Xing Long, Si Xing Long and Super Yi Xing Long.
Regular Yi Xing long, Trunks, Pan and Kid Goku would be nice too, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I thought as much last night. The legs do look short, which makes the character itself look pretty short. I really need to see the Buus figures standing upright next to Gohan before I can make a true judgement though. But it'd be nice if Gohan's eyes come up to the bottom of Gotenks Buu's pecs.

I really want to buy Raditz and break off his head. Paint the hair yellow and then glue it to the back of SS3 Goku's head. :/

I wonder why they pick SSj4 Goku over DB Kid Goku. I would imagine they would go with the original Dragon Ball first since the show is more popular and nostalgic to fans compare to GT.

I'm not entirely sure that's true. There are a large number of fans that, even if they don't like GT, they still like it more than DB because it has more of that Z style fighting.
