Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.
I swear if Ten plays more of a role than Goten (and Trunks)......
They must have a surprise with the them each getting a growth spurt. Right.... . Videl and Satan(and by default Mr Boo) can be written off as "Watching Pan". But please for love of Kami let Goten be in this movie! Even if he didn't change his hair style and just grew a few inches like this!
Don't fail me Tori
There's still hope as we know Bulma's in the movie, and we don't see a figure of her so...
I'm not seeing these figures at all on that link. In fact all I can see are some sexual pictures like the groups of people wearing Fox masks and licking some woman's butt crack.

Here's Tenshinhan's outfit from Battle of Gods for comparison. He seems to have stolen Chaozu's shirt. This way Chaozu won't have to show up in the new movie. It's the Artificial Human arc all over again.
Wow, just when I thought they'd ran out of gimmicks to boost spectatorship on this...

Man, Tenshinhan's BoG and RoF designs are so good. Too bad he was worthless in BoG and will likely do nothing more than kill/beat a few of Freeza's jobbers in RoF.
Fukkatsu no F stage event at Anime Japan on March 21 @ 15:25-16:00 JST http://www.anime-japan.jp/en/stage/rgb_stage/ (Green stage section)
It's gonna be a talk show with Masako Nozawa and others.
Dang, Tenshinhan even gets a figure? He must really be involved this time around. Where the hell are Yamcha and Chaozu?

But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

I know this is a fake image, drawn by a fan, but wouldnt it be fantastic if trunks and goten were in there mid-teens as shown in that image, in the movie, only if they get announced, I wish they would get announced and hope they would be in the movie.

Don't give TheGmGoken false hope. It will sadden him more if Goten isn't in the film

4DX? I'd never heard of that before but it sounds interesting. If it can get more people in seats and increases it's box office receipts then good for it.

Either that or some slick new duds that are similar to the robes of a kai. Either way...I want that Tenshinhan figure!
