I think Tamashii Nations could do a renewal on Freeza's final form to promote the new movie and could name the figure as "Freeza Rebirth". They can fix some of the QC issues that the original figure had.

Because most of them are exclusives in Japan an thus don't get more stock produced. Once people buy what was produced, prices rise. Supply and demand.

The worst offenders would be SSJ Vegeta and Trunks. People were buying multiples of Vegeta and Trunks just so they could display Trunks wearing armour.

I wonder just how many of each figure they produce though.

They could do a renewal of Freeza's 4th form and have it label as "Freeza Reborn" similar what they did with the S.H MonsterArts 90's Heisei Godzilla by having the figure be label as "Godzilla Rebirth" when it's really a renewal of the original 90's Heisei Godzilla figure.

I kind of liked the look o Figurarts, touch as I am older, I prefer ''statues'' to simply display somewhere as I lost the ability to play, heh (but I do like Gunpla).
But, that Broli is hideous... It looks more like that super-steroid pumped veins series than Broli from the series.

The only thing even close to wrong with that Broli is how far his pecs stick out from the rest of his torso. Everything else is pretty much right in line with everything we see from him back then (though he's been slimmed down a bit in the art detpartment these days).

I don't collect figures, so I don't know if people have seen these yet, or if they're even new or not, but I figured I may as well post this...
