I hope the Exhibitors will have these for Comic-Con. These figures are on my priority list now!

I'm still not sure thats the actual name though. Most Banpresto items have titles like 'Super Mega Exciting Happy DX Deluxe Series -' or the equivalent, lol. But it could be Pichi Pichi.... But there's a chance it could also be 'Super Mega Exciting Pichi Pichi DX Deluxe' or something like that to.... I'm exaggerating, but I wouldn't put it past them!

All the best,
Oldphan

A white bunny suit Bulma? Really BANPRESTO? Really?..

Good lord, that 18 figure looks incredible. Looks like I'll be spoiling myself with more figures this year.

Thank you guys for the updates!

It's a little bit confusing, but I believe BANPRESTO released the 'girl' figures under two different product names, complete with different packaging:

1.Deluxe Figure Pichi Pichi Gal

2.DBZ DX Girl Figure:

Some of them are coming out soon and some haven't been official announced. Just wait for Oldphan to show up again! :wink:

Ooooh, ok. I was thinking it was on this page.

It looks pretty neat, but I think he'd look twice as cool with just the one arm.

Is there a reason the shirtless SS3 Gokū looks so… rubbery? And like it has a $2 paint job?

Wish we could get more angles on the DX Gotenks and Vegetto. Their body sculpts look fantastic, but their faces seem a bit strange (I also wish we could get a Base Gotenks for once).

Veiny Broli is probably the most stylized Broli figure I’ve ever seen. Definitely looking into that.

The “Creatures Head Keyholders” (direct translation) look really cool. Like a darker take on Dragon Ball almost… I actually wouldn’t have minded the movie counterparts looking like that. I don’t even have that many keys to hold, but I want them all anyway.

18 looking very sexy; a welcome addition to that lineup. Bulma’s a different story—I don’t think she even needs another figure, much less a duplicate bunny suit mold in a different color.

The screaming SS Gokū is of course amazing; in agreement about the Ki swirls, however (hard-plastic energy blasts never made sense to me in figures), but they aren’t really dealbreakers for me. As stands, they’re actually kind of creative, and subtler than similar approaches. Definitely not overdone.

I really want that SSJ Goku, not to mention the No 18 and Bulma since I already have the Bulma with gun and Chi Chi from that same line.

It is probably going to be super ultra insanely rare to find in the future compared to the original bunny suit Bulma.

Making it worth a couple hundred $1.

As smexy as all those figures are, I gotta say that the only ones I can see myself picking up are those chibi big head figure things. For one, I love detailed mini figures (especially of the chibi variety). For another, c'mon, this set has two versions of Piccolo throwing throwing up stuff (yeah, I know the second one's just a mouth beam XD). I'm guessing they're part of the same collection as these ones, right?

... the only down side to buying the entire set of "mini big heads" are that most of the time, that never includes the bonus figure. Oh well...
