Mike's Upcoming JPNS Toy Releases Thread

[ssjtrunks51]

I don't know much but I think that DG and HG are both seperate, ongoing lines. I think that one is made by bandai and the other is made by banpresto, respectively.

[Raithos]

Both lines are made by Bandai.
I don't believe that DG is a continuation of HG,as far as I know HG has stopped sicne it's been a long time since the last release... But I hope they make a ton of DG. Also DG has made Imperfect Cell, SSJ Goku, the androids 19 and 20 in pretty much the same as they appear in HG (just with better detail of course) so I don't believe DG is a continuation, they are both separate lines.

New Banpresto HSCF Volume 7 released today.
This set features Androids 17 and 18, as well as Future Gohan and Future Trunks in Saiyan armor.
From initial speculation these looks excellent, and I'm glad I preordered them months ago.

From the looks of it... so many DBZ fans have ordered Android 18.. she's the only who's on low stock now at HLJ.com

[Raithos]

Lol yeah I saw that too, she doesn't look as good as I thought she would so I only ordered one set off Angolz which still has it for pre-order. On Ebay this set is already reaching ludicrous prices, if you want just one from the set, your best bet is HLJ which will total about 15$ with SAL shipping. However, if you're buying more than one from HLJ, just go to Angolz and buy the set if you're already spending 30$.. tack on like 10$ extra and get Trunks and Gohan.

Digital Grade 3 Cell looks so good:


On the official Bandai site, the company has released legitimate images of the New Digital Grade Special, you can rotate each figure 360 degrees!
Check it out here: http://www.bandai.co.jp/gashapon/dg/pro ... gokou.html

[ssjtrunks51]

Oh, man, I got some money but I can't decide if I want S.H.Figuarts gohan or a set of legend of saiyan figures lol.

[Raithos]

Gohan is pose-able, but the LoS look so... nice!
I suggest starting off with set 2 since it has the uber rare Prince Vegeta in it, lol.

[ssjtrunks51]

Oh, you don't have to convince me on that one lol.

[Raithos]

Lol

On another note, Legend of Saiyan Volume 3 was released today! This features Bardock and his crew!

[ssjtrunks51]

I've never seen Bardock's special, so that set doesn't really appeal to me. I'll look the special up on youtube.

[Raithos]

I haven't either but I like how Bardock looks and these help to complete the line, I want every piece of the saiyan series los minis.

Edit:
I HAVE seen it in the past I just didn't remember it . And also I just refreshed my memory by watching it again and I'm glad I bought those Legend of Saiyan Bardock figures now .

[ssjtrunks51]

Yeah I've seen it now, and I love when one of Dodoria's elites does a full nelson on Bardock and he flips around when the second elite tries to punch him so the elite that full nelsoned him gets punched (kind of heard to explain).
I'm definitely going to pick these ones up now. I wonder if they'll make more because there are characters they haven't covered yet. Like you I want every possible character lol. Also, what do you think they'll do after legend of saiyan? I mean, they could make an android line or something, which would probably be:
Wave 1: Android #16, 17, 18, 19, and dr. gero.
Wave 2: Larval cell, 1st form cell, 2nd form cell, perfect cell, and self-destruct cell.
Wave 3: Android 13, Super android 13, Android 14, Android 15, and either android 8, or the supercomputer.

That would be a great line

[Raithos]

Oh wow, I totally didn't think of the androids, they could do one for each saga! like they've done a Freeza one, so they could do Cell and Buu after that, Oooo we could see SSJ3 Goku, Majin Vegeta, Vegetto, SSJ2 Gohan, oh man I would love that! They seem to be doing figures from Movie specials too so the possibilities are limitless.

[ssjtrunks51]

Those four would be great additions to the line so there should be a wave called "Legend of Saiyan SP01" with SSJ3 Goku, Majin Vegeta, SSJ Vegito, Ultimate Gohan, Fat buu, Evil buu, super buu, piccobuu, buutenks, buuhan, kid buu, and possibly even a what-if buugito. That would be awesome! As for SSJ2 Gohan, that gives me a good idea for wave 7: It could be SSJ2-based, With SSJ2 Goku, SSJ2 Vegeta (the same as the vegeta from wave 1 but without the armour), SSJ2 Gohan (adult), SSJ2 Gohan (Teen), and Ascended saiyan or Ultra saiyan future trunks.
That would be a good wave since most DBZ lines miss super saiyan 2 Goku and Vegeta because they look so similar to the SSJ1 versions that the companies don't bother.

[Raithos]

Interesting, yes they could expand on the remaining two major villains and all of their forms, and then focus on special levels of SSJ. That would be very interesting to see.

[ssjtrunks51]

And what about after that? I guess they'll start using movie villains like lord slug, cooler, etc. or perhaps they'll release a few waves for the other Z fighters (krillin, piccolo etc.) Heck, they might make GT figures next lol. However, they've already announced three more waves of LOS that haven't been released yet so I don't think they'll be announcing any more figures for this line for a while.

Theres a possibility they could go as far as lord slug, but I doubt it. I'd really like to see LoS saiyan lines for the final parts of GT (all the SS4 forms), and the Shadow Dragons. I'd also like to see Digital Grade pick up the final parts of GT that would be epic.

[ssjtrunks51]

Definitely agreed.

[ssjtrunks51]

Back to the subject of Angolz: How fast will they ship? A friend of mine (he lives in Queensland) has bought me a set of Legend of saiyan figures about a fortnight ago but they haven't arrived yet and he thinks they've been lost in the mail or something. Is there anyone else here from Australia that has ordered from them and got their package in under two weeks? Or should it take more than that for some reason?

[Raithos]

Hmm funny you should mention that, I ordered Legend of Saiyan 2 DX from them on December 3rd, got the shipment notice on the 6th, and haven't heard from my parcel since, it's going on 15 business days and 18 regular days. Now this can be for either two reasons, 1: It's the holidays and everything's taking forever to get there, Ok I understand that. Or 2: Their shipping speed sucks, I don't know to be honest. I ordered from HLJ and Ebay and had the stuff in 3-5 days flat regular speed, so I hope Angolz doesn't take a month to send me my stuff.
