I just went to check for you, but I'm only seeing two Golden Freeza figures. One being the Dimension of Dragon Ball release, and the other being the S.H. Figuarts release. So, I can't help you... lol

I would like to see a SHF Super Perfect Cell. It can be normal Perfect Cell, but with ki lighting aura to go along with the figure. If Tamashii can do another version of Godzilla 1964 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive then I don't see why can't do the same with Perfect Cell? Heck maybe have a few Cell Juniors to go along with a possible SHF Super Perfect Cell.

Eh. I like the original Trunks coloration better, but this is is good for the people who couldn't get him the first time around (or don't want to pay the inevitable scalpers at this point).

Like meeeeee I am NOT paying a scapler price.

Also Vegeta's getting a reissue (both Trunks and Vegeta are huge, since they were "exclusive" and couldn't be reissued, so I guess new figures had to be made to get across that)

Also battle damaged SSJ Goku from the Freeza fight

I'm definitely not picking up Trunks, but I may grab Vegeta if I have money at the time. He's technically a different figure anyway (not counting the new paint), as he now has his Cell era boot tips rather than the the ones without from prior in that arc.

Goku... I don't really want battle damaged figures. I just don't. BUT, that is a damn fine looking sculpt for it...I'll probably cave on him too. :/

EDIT: Nevermind. I won't be picking up Vegeta is he stays as pictured there. They didn't even bother to sculpt his boot tips; they just painted his toes...

These "reissues" are useless. They're just another short term sale for figures they're obviously acknowledging are in high demand. They're exclusives as well, so they won't be able to even reissue these.

I definitely want that battle damaged Goku though. That look with the half torn off shirt is extremely iconic and nostalgic to me. I was thinking of picking up a statue of it since I figured we wouldn't get an actual action figure of it, but I'm glad I held off. Not only that, but the leg sculpting is actually better and more proportionate than the regular Goku sculpt, and it looks like we'll have the more modern, proper double knee joints.

Man I love this:

Definitly Kai.

That is some nice stop motion as well. Makes me even more hyped for that figure!

If anyone here is in Japan and wants Master Stars Piece Trunks, it's on Amazon Japan for just ¥400 http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%89%E3%83 ... 3%EF%BC%A5

It can only be shipped to a Japanese address, or I would have ordered it.

Seems base Gogeta is finally getting official merchandise, as well as (non mecha, normal) Freeza in his cocoon:

How come we rarely hear VegettoEX talk about the shf figures or even report news of upcoming dbz figures?

Toy news is not a major thing to the site staff. Maybe Gonstead can become a merchandise news reporter for the site.

I am so down for Vegeta, Trunks, and battle damaged SSJ Goku. I am so gonna have fun having a play sword fight between Trunks and my Link figma. I'm very hyped to get SSJGSS Goku and Golden Freeza as well. I actually have them on order from my comic shop since it was in the catalog. So, that's always fun. It's better than me getting them from BBTS because I don't have to pay for shipping, and I get 20% off on the figures as part of a deal my shop has for having a pull list with a certain amount of titles on pull.

And the few times it does get reported is usually in very rare special cases such as the 2014 SDCC exclusive Toei colored Vegeta.

I'm flattered that someone would consider me a news reporter for toy stuff though. ^_^

HobbyLink Japan has listed a Chozoshu Super Saiyan God Son Goku. No image, as usual. Anyone know what this is?
