Man, I do miss the Imagination and Megahouse lines. They released several figures portraying some scenes from the manga when the manga was completely finished, to the point that they started making some not so iconic scenes (Gokuh in shorts taking a Dragon Ball or Piccolo escaping from a Freezer's attack come to my mind). And now that they have tons of new scenes to work on, they just don't.
Megahouse have completely vanished from DB and when they do pop up it's for awful high end products like their D.O.D. which is okay for non Saiyan characters but whoever's idea it was to give figures actual fabric for clothing needs to look at themselves. Woeful decision in my opinion they look awful.
Bandai started a "Scene Selection" line for DBS which I was like okay cool it's something and then ended it after
one volume... Then months later started their DBS VS set with
volume 1 however the actual gashapon didn't look like the proto pics they looked
like bootlegs Japanese fans complained about it so Bandai
re-released the set labelled as SP01 however the only thing that really was improved was the paint job, fortunately the DBS VS line has improved from volume #02 onwards but unfortunately from #02 they've started to include non DBS stuff...
Sculptor Varoq said he missed some of Bandai's older gashapon's too with the DG line back from Kai being the best for a gashapon but now it seems Bandai have made DG quality for their premium HG sets which means they're charging more. /:

Blue Evolved Vegeta, Toppo, GoD Toppo, Shirtless Jiren, Hit, 17 and so on. Hopefully they are better about getting figures out when DB returns to TV and stop leaning so heavily on Z merch.
And so many Goku figures... Sheesh.
I love Goku like a lot. But even I get fed up with how much merch he gets lol. I mean they gave him his own figure line in the "Son Goku Festival" line but he still bleeds into other lines all the time, I thought the reason they gave him his own line was to stop that!
