Mike's Upcoming JPNS Toy Releases Thread

SSJ3 Trunks? Well, it was bound to happen.

Oh of course, I'm just waiting on SSJ3 Gohan and Goten.

I won't be happy 'til they make SSJ3 Raditz.

LMFAO, or an SSJ3 Nappa, his handlebar mustache will reach the ground like catfish whiskers! Lol!!!

[Snail]

What's that Trunks? You want to go SSJ3? Okay:

No truer sign that impending doom will strike us next year.

[Goku100xKamehameha]

Ability: Super Guard Up.

Has anyone been billed for Legend Of Saiyan series 6 from HLJ yet? I'm just wondering since they have biobroly in stock, but haven't charged me

I have been. For some weird reason, even though I've had it on order for months, they didn't bill me for SSj Broly. Oh well, I can do without... I'm more into base Broly anyway, and Paragus and Bio-Broly, since they're so rare.

I got billed the other day for those three... there might just be some delays due to the situation over there.

Apparently in Dragon Ball Heroes, Trunks now has the SSJ3 ability. Hope this translates into Banpresto making an SSJ3 Trunks figure like they made an SSJ3 Vegeta/Broly for Raging Blast 2 .

Give the guy the universe on a gold platter!......You know he deserves it.

Of course! Are you kidding me? I'd kill for an SSJ3 Trunks HSCF or Digital Grade.

[ssjtrunks51]

I'd become a mass-murderer. Anything to up my profile pic a few notches, right?

[Ahiru77]

^ Indeed.

I'd take it all the way to the after life.

I don't know if this is "upcoming" or has already happened. But either way, I've never seen these "Manga Legend" figures before. So perhaps someone a little more knowledgeable (and with a rudimentary understanding of Japanese, maybe) can shed some light on this. Scroll down just a-ways to see what looks like a rather extensive line-up of figures, which appear to be based on Manga-centric versions of our characters. Some examples:

Four-fingered Piccolo.

Son Goten (manga-black instead of anime-blue)

Blue-green Karin.

Kaio-sama.

And some Shenlong, why not?

Etc. ;p

I browsed that too, they seem to be figures made by a company called Hachette? But yeah I've never heard of them. And I don't know why the title is french, lol.

Is it just me, or do some of those figures look really shoddy and cheap? Like so:


It's cool they've based it on the Manga and included characters that normally don't have many figures, like the announcer dude, but still ...
Maybe these are just prototypes, but if it's the final product, I'm not really all that impressed.

This is quite cute, though:

[Raithos]

Some look shoddy, but some look really good to me like the:
Battle Damaged SSJ Goku
SSJ Trunks taking off his jacket
Perfect Cell
SSJ2 Gohan
The Announcer
SSJ3 Goku
SSJ3 Gotenks
Android No. 8
General Blue
SSJ Vegeta (final flash pose)
Chaoz (energy blast)
Mr. Satan
Videl
Toriyama bot

To name a few, lol.

It’s probably because I’ve recently been buying Good Smile and Busou Shinki figures that I’ve become used to high quality figures and became more critical of other figures.

Figure snobbery aside, there’s some I’d pick up, like Bulma, Lunch and bandit Yamcha. And of course, Hatchan and Goku. It’s a shame they didn’t include World Tournament ChiChi, that’s a missed opportunity.

Oh believe me I agree with you, high quality is all I own. I'm just listing the ones I think are likeable

[StarRot]

No, I know, I was just stating why I was being critical.
In case you though I was calling you a snob, I wasn't - I was poking fun at myself.

No no no, I could see you were referring to yourself there, no worries .

[CODii]

That Final Flash SSJ Vegeta looks pretty neat. I'll have to keep my eyes open.

[ssjtrunks51]

CODii, wasn't it funny back when you were talking about holding back? Lol, they always fail.
Nevertheless, I like some of these! To list the ones I really want:
Trunks taking off his Jacket, definitely!
Majin Vegeta
Final flash Vegeta
Spirit bomb Goku
SSJ3 Goku
Kid Trunks

[Kingdom Heartless]

It's really sad... there hasn't been any new figures announced in months... maybe the releases really will stop because of the end of Kai. I didn't think it would affect the figures.
