@Kingdom Heartless: Those look to be legit. The easiest way to spot a fake SBC is the lack of a Bandai logo, copyright info and inside packaging.
There are only about ~10 figures with the Toei sticker which all have noticeably different packaging:
Only thing I'm unsure of is the seller's Vol. 27 SS Vegeta. Its lacks the "Gold Hair Version" sticker and "Made in China" info:
So with that said, go and ask here before buying anything:

I wonder if we will see new DBZ figuarts announcements soon? Vegito comes out in April, nothing is open for May and June yet. Since there's a lot of demand for another Future Trunks then they could announce S.H Figuarts Cell Saga Future Trunks next. They could use SSj Vegeta body mold since both him and Trunks wear the same armor. They would have to make a new mold for Trunks hair since it's longer and maybe a new set of hands.

We still have Gohan Buu, Gotenks Buu, Ultimate Gohan and SS4 Goku. We likely won't get anymore reveals till the end of the year, just like last year.

Someone on the Godzilla X-Plus facebook group has posted images of DBZ X-Plus images at the 2015 Toy Fair.

The Buu is nice. Not really that impressed with Goku and Vegeta though.

Is that Buu any different from the previously released one?

Was shown this by Kental over on Deviantart. I'll say the same thing here as I did there; yuck. Freeza is way, way too shiny (actual gold rather than the series colors) and Goku's hair is just meh. Why didn't they just recycle the SS head? It's supposed to be the same thing...

That might be the case in universe. He certainly isn't depicted that way in every piece of art though, so I don't really see that figure being an accurate representation of the colors either.

Yeah that does not look appetising at all. Hope that is not the only figures we get on the new forms.

They could have used a color scheme closer to this, with a slightly darker choice for the dark yellow portions, and it would have looke pretty good and fit in with the rest of the figures better.
