Yes, that would be great, the humans get in on the action, most specially TIEN! It's been a while since I heard a TRI-BEAM HAAAAAA as epis as his barrages on Semi-Perfect Cell.

As for the movie, maybe one of the storylines might be that those "gods" are former guardians of the Earth that don't find Dende as qualified since the scene is at a transformed lookout. XD

And you guys think Goku and Gohan are skinny? Those mounds of muscles that are ON their biceps and triceps and arms are huge! They're like individual lumps on top of the muscles themselves. XD

There is no way something crazy doesn't happen to Vegeta with an expression like that on his face. *_*
*Wants to know what so badly.*

My expectations are up; that expression...that is quite an expression.


Also, Pilaf's still green here while he's blue in the poster; that's even more confusing than Vegeta's Buu and Cell arc outfits both appearing. I like Mai's shorter haircut.

Since I can't stop my mind from coming up with all sorts of theories, here is another one -> if something weird happens with Vegeta, something weird might happen to Piccolo too ....

You know, I'm starting to think green!Pilaf is actually Pilaf's son. The outfit's kind of kindergarten-y and Pilaf is wearing something different on the poster.

Weird things happening to Vegeta and Piccolo.... *_*
Oh how I hope so.

My expectations are going up just from these close-up figure shots (plus shrunken Pilaf Gang).

But... those are SD representations, right?
Don't you guys think it might be exagerrated on those figurines and a more normal expression in the movie?
It could be an exagerrated way to represent Vegeta just rubbing his hands together and having a big sadistic smile on his face while saying "now, fighting Gods, this is going to be interesting!! Let's go right now, Kakarotto!!"

That expression seems way to out of character. It's hard ti imagine a scenario in which Vegeta would act like I think he is acting in that figure.
Or many he is supposed to be laughing and clapping his hands in a mocking sort of way at something or someone. That, I can imagine.

Fuck. YES.

...their figures do seem to have the other's personalities.

I seriously think the guys making the figures goofed up, but I also think this theory is actually plausible. A younger offspring running around taking revenge for his father is very reminiscent of Piccolo and can really bring a nice Dragonball element to the story. However, given Vegeta's Outfit and Goku's logo on his Gi, I seriously think it's just carelessness on the toy makers part. In any case, I WANT THEM! Vegeta's figure especially.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

I'm honestly not really a fan of chibi and/or SD figures. But the Green Pilaf does intrigue me. I might consider picking that one up.

What? That's not subliminal a message. And small Pilaf and company was one of the first things pointed out in this poster 3 days ago.

Oh god. I can see this working. Pilaf wishing he had the body of someone who could actually fight Goku.

Shenlong: *snickers*
Pilaf: "Why... why is he snickering?...."
*bright light*
Pilaf (Vegeta): YOU GOT TO BE -CENSORED- KIDDING ME.


It would certainly explain each other expressions on the figurines. Not only that but it also keeps the old tradition of "the universe hates Vegeta".

That's been bugging me for a while...maybe that part will make sense when we get to see this image clearer.

Actually, since Pilaf appears to be hanging onto a rope, that "tail" could just be the end of the rope.

I actually brought this up several posts ago, but kept it in small font because I wasn't thinking about it seriously. But now that other have the same idea....
