He did.

Her outfit looks extremely similar to the one Jaco was wearing when he went to West City with Omori, in the Jaco manga.

Honestly, I'm starting to think that Toriyama NEVER made a design for Future Mai. I mean, wouldn't we have found at least ONE illustration of her from him by now? It's been almost 5-6 months since the start of the Zamasu arc...

They aren't obliged to release Toriyama's art. Just because they haven't released Toriyama art for a character doesn't mean he didn't design them.
If Yamamuro designed Mai she probably would have had blue eyes.

Overall there seems to be generally a lot more figures for this arc coming out, wish they'd go back and give us some proper U6 figures.
Never thought they would sell Purple Vegeta figures. Anything goes to make money. Nobody is happier that Dragon Ball is back than those guys. :lol:
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

Hold on, has Main-Timeline Mai (and/or Future Mai) EVER been illustrated to have blue eyes ever since DB's new material started?

BTW, when I say new material, I mean as in, Battle of Gods and all future Dragon Ball material following that.

Nope. They've been faithful to her new design since BoG. Edit: Actually, 62 might have had her old look in the Piccolo Daimao flashback.

Yeah, she had blue eyes in the DB flashback in 62.

Oh, I see.

Also, I forgot to mention in my last post that I meant to specifically mention Tadayoshi Yamamuro due to Jinzoningen mentioning that if Yamamuro were to design Mai (Present AND Future) now, he'd probably give her blue eyes like she had in the original Dragon Ball.

BTW, I hope the black eyes truly do stay from here on out. I don't know why, but Mai looks SO much more cuter to me with black eyes and less makeup.

Thanks, but I don't think that was me. I do agree with that sentiment, though.

It's the bigger, rounder eyes and plain face, not the eye color. Drawings, particularly of women, are always more attractive when drawn with the baby-face model.

So, speaking of character designs, which are the best designs?

Personally, I love Hit's look. Mysterious and badass. Magetta's also great. I'm fond of Copy-Vegeta's drippy texture.
Vegeta: How?! How are you so much more powerful than me?!
Goku Black: Because Vegeta, a rose by any other name.... is still Goku.

Goku Black, Future Mai, and Copy Vegeta would have to be my favorites. Black has a really nice color combination on his gi, and the single Potara is very mysterious. Future Mai is adorable. I really like both of her outfits, too. Copy Vegeta is not only purple (my favorite color), but he's also drippy and (in my opinion) unique. Commeson in general has a unique personality, now that I think about it.

Runner-ups go to Bulma, Zamasu, and the Universe 6 fighters, followed by everyone else (I love them all).

Copy Vegeta? You are the first one to say you like the character design..
at least I never saw anyone else say they like it
You are right, every design looks good.. there hasn't been a single design which I hated!

Seriously though, all the design are good..
I personally like Frost the best..
That color combo suits freeza

I love all of Mai's designs from modern Dragon Ball, they're the cutest things! Also, I enjoy skinny Mr. Satan

Hit, Goku black, Vegetas ROF outfit, Beerus, Oracle fish, Tagoma, Frost, Gowasu all have really nice designs.

I made a bet with Alee9977 that Vegeta won't be beaten quickly by an opponent. If I lose, I switch my avatar to Vegeta getting beat by hit. If I win, he switches it to Vegeta holding Black by his hair. This will last a month.

Technically, these are movie designs; not exactly Super. But if we do include those, then Beerus and the entire Resurrection 'F' cast have great designs. :D

That was my impression too. I mean, Bulma even gave them food and other stuff they may need. I think they were intending to live a low profile life there.
This would just be strange. Just knowing that there's an exact version of you on the same planet. This past arc left so many unanswered questions.

Imagine if Trunks gets lost one day then runs into the Mai originally living in the timeline thinking its his Mai, how awkward would it be for Trunks to explain himself out of that one?

Just the whole thing is just weird. They could have handled it a lot better.

Why I have such a soft spot for that movie. Especially loved the way Bulma looked. Best look since Namek imo.

Just a few posts above, even!

Yeah, I'm a fan of Copy-Vegeta's design (and arc)

A lot of the characters looked great. In fact, Id say it was probably the characters at their visual best. Besides for Gohan and Goku. Gohan for obvious reasons and Goku looks best with an undershirt imo.
