DBZ is huge in Latinamerica, and probably even more so in mexico, as it was dubbed there, the fact that the movies were released theatrically and there is a tamashii event there speaks a lot of the market.
It does sound like a pain to track down, but at least it's simply a small variation.

To me it isn't a small variation. Goku with a school emblem (any of them really) is iconic. From near the end of Dragonball through the early Android stuff in DBZ, until he dropped the emblems entirely. It's one of his more iconic looks in one form or another. So to be unable to buy it easily kind of sucks :(

Has there been any decent reviews on vader yet? Mine should be here tomorrow!

I'll take a lot more pictures this weekend but the STs are pretty cool while Vader just flat out rocks. For being my first Vader figure I have ever owned he is down right perfect. His cape is nice and rubbery so it looks great and will not deteriorate over time. If anything is missing, it is the lack of a choke hold hand. Aside from that, I love him. The death star base rocks too.

BTW, I wouldn't be surprised if that logo Goku also became a SDCC exclusive in the US.

Christ, Bandai's sure getting their moneys worth out of that Goku mould...how many versions does that make now? :lol

Tamashii can milk Goku's body for many things. They can use his body to make S.H Figuarts Future Gohan since S.H Figuarts Mystic Gohan is just Gohan's head on Goku's body. They can do S.H Figuarts of Base Goku Battle damaged Buu ver., SSj Goku Battle damaged Frieza ver., Kaioken Goku, Goku with his outfit at the end of DBZ and Goku's outfit that he had in GT. They can retool Goku's body for SHF Super Sayian God Goku seeing that SSjG Goku has a slimmer body then normal Goku.

The only downside is that the Goku body is old and not that great anymore.

REnewal trunks please.

I would like a renewal of SHF Goku but I doubt it will happen since Tamashii makes DBZ figuarts for the North American market. It's just easier for Tamashii to reuse the same molds for DBZ figuarts knowing that fans will buy it no matter how bad and cheap they are.
