I believe they have. Bigbadtoystore has him listed for $52. I couldn't find bluefins solicitation though.

So what's the verdict on figuarts imperialdramon? Worth the money or a pass?

I got mine at Otakon and I didn't open it yet. I was surprise to get it in a brown box similar what most exclusives get at Bluefin's booth. I love the box cover and I can't wait to open him up soon. He's my first Digimon figure from Tamashii Nations, so I can't compare him to Omegamon (Omnimon) or the other figures.

I still need to wait for the US release at the end of the month to get mine. :(

But I really, really like what I see from shishioh.

I really want a imperialdramon Paladin mode now. That normal figuarts version looks beautiful.

~lalala, I don't need that beautiful looking figure~

I open Imperialdramon out of the box a few hours back and I think he's a great figure. The detail, mold and the joints are amazing. The figure is beatfuil to look at. I would imagine my 10 year old self would piss my pants for enjoy if I had this figure as a kid. If the arm or top body falls off, he's super easy to put back together. I was worry that he would be a pain in the ass to put together.

My biggest issue with the figure is that the wings feel hard to put on when I first try to put them on. I was scared to break the figure, so I didn't want to try to push them in too hard. The figure is a great figure to own for any Digimon fan. I do want to get Omegamon and Dukemon soon.

I don't have home but hell yeah he's totally worth it!

Stop reading my mind!:p

:lol

This is wonderful to hear. Can't wait to get him. I'll say the Dukemon is awesome, but be easy on some of his joints. My right shoulder tab snapped half way, so until I repair him or have him repaired, I just reboxed him up. :(

I kinda want this...but it's a Tamashi Web Exclusive...

Of course it is... :P

Oh well, it still looks awesome, she should come with a Jack Frost. :lol

Android 16 confirmed for February!

And looking so so damn good! Battle damged head and removable forearms for Hell's Flash.

It looked nice at SDCC, glad to see the extra bits thrown in.

I still hope Imperfect Cell would be made. His design is my favorite DBZ villain design and one of my favorite monster designs in general too.

Agreed. I'd preorder that right away.

I always kind of liked that form. But unless it comes with giant tail sucking action I'm out :lol

Anyone care to speculate on future release beyond these though? Honestly there are some easy enough figure repaints & remolds we could get after Broly & 16 are released. I'm thinking an adult Gohan repaint of standard Goku. He just needs a new head and boom.

Speaking strictly on the show, I could see Buu getting a release, as could teen Gohan (oh lord please give us a Saiyaman SHF). Maybe one for the fusions, Uub, and maybe Goten and kid Trunks? Maybe even see a little dipping into Dragonabll and GT?

Movie wise, who knows. Personally I'd love to see Bardock, Cooler (preferably second form), Bojack, Janemba, and Tapion get releases.

I'm thinking Adult Gohan and Super Buu for the next releases. Maybe Majin Vegeta too since people want an SSJ Vegeta re-release but Tamashii Nations probably won't do it unless its something slightly different (ala MonsterArts).

So what SDCC exclusives should they do next for next year for non Toku figures? My ideas for some DBZ figuarts.

Green Hair Broli (Broly) making his hair color more accurate from DBZ Movie 8.

If they do Digimon exclusives then they can try to do Blackwargreymon as a 2015 SDCC exclusive. They can use the Wargreymon Original Designer's Edition figure and use BlackWargreymon colors on the figure.

They could release Naturo Goku and sweep two fandoms with one stone :lol

(They won't because it'd need a whole new body, but I'd love to see people's reactions to it)

maybe we might eventually get a Beerus figuarts from battle of the gods. his accessories would probably be spare hands, maybe an energy effect or two, and hopefully some pudding and face swaps.

Problem with that is the Original Designer's Edition is just a recolor. So BlackWargreymon's already been done in that mold as a web exclusive. Very unlikely they could get it done again.

True, but if they do a Digimon SDCC exclusive then they can try Omegamon/Omnimon Zwart. They already have the Omnimon/Omegamon mold and a black repaint on him would look pretty sweet in my opinion. I doubt we will get Digimon SDCC exclusives, but it would be cool nevertheless.

We are getting Vegito, so we could get them...

By the way...I'm shocked that we're getting Vegito before Gogeta. Didn't Gogeta exist first?

Gogeta did came out first, but I've been told that Bandai Tamashii Nations Japan has stated that they're focusing on the Buu arc right now. It will be a while before we get Gogeta. Gogeta will likely be the next movie character to be made into a figuart since he's the most popular movie character next to Broli and Coola. I doubt the demand for DB, GT and the other characters are big enough to be made into figuarts.

I got one for you guys. Take Gokus head and stick it onto Saiyan Saga Vegetas body. BOOM TURLES! The perfect character obscure enough to only be an exclusive. OR retool teen Gohan onto Krillin for a Bojack Unbound Gohan. :D

I like the adult Gohan idea. Maybe find a way to make him look mystic. They could use an extremely subtle white wash on his hair and gi.

Just please, no GT. Not til the well runs dry.

I don't think Tullece being a exclusive can work like that. His hair is a bit different from Goku's and his eyes do look a bit different too. I'm glad we are getting Vegito first then Gogeta. I would take a cannon character first before we get another movie character.

YES on the tail, big-time. If I can't stick at least 17's head in it, I'll be disappointed.

As for future releases, didn't Tamashii say something semi-recently about looking at Buu Saga stuff? I figure that means a version of Buu (Majin, Super) has a shot, and maybe Gotenks?

I figure Bardock can't be too hard, and if Broly does well Nappa could be back on the table. As for others, maaaaaaybe Mecha-Frieza? Similar to the Vegeta idea mentioned above, it'd be a way of "rereleasing" him while still doing something new; Imperfect Cell could kind of fit in here too.

As for SDCC exclusives...I figure an anime-colored SS3 Goku could work. Too bad they can't do at least slight remolds of existing molds, otherwise a Semi-Perfect Cell could be a great candidate, especially if Imperfect Cell happens beforehand anyways. (I hope it happens regardless though, I like Cell's various forms.) Provided Nappa does get made eventually, I figure an "Original Animation Colors" version to pair with this year's Vegeta is a decent bet.

I'd love Raditz, King Vegeta and King Cold as well but have no idea how likely or unlikely any of those are.

King Vegeta is a filler character that was barely on screen and was only mention once in the manga. Unless they are run out of ideas then we are likely not going to see King Vegeta and King Cold. I think Raditz won't be far off if Nappa happens and sells well.

and Bluefin picked up Alphamon!

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...7808916&type=1

I was just coming to share that!

Yes!!

:D

I didn't realize he had just gotten officially solicited yesterday with all the other reveals...

Still excited. But man, that is quite the price tag..

Looks like the D-arts are getting more expensive with each release. Must reconsider whether or not I want to start collecting them. Haha. I already missed the first couple releases anyways...maybe I can stop at trying to get Wargreymon, Omnimon and/or Imperialdramon....

Alphamon is pretty pricey, but I hope he is worth it. Imperidaldramon was totally worth the price in my opinion. When holding him, he does feel like a high art figure. It's a shame that his wings are hard to put on, putting them makes you feel like that you may press too hard and possibly breaking the figure.

I'm not even going to bother with a response. Doubt anything I mentioned. Stands a chance in hell, especially with all this DBZ love-in the last few pages. Guess I'll have my hands full going backwards and getting all the figures I've missed being unemployed.

I hope not. God I hope not. With all of the character from Z and original DB, there is no reason to waste their time on fanfiction like GT. Hell, I don't even want movie only characters unless it is from Battle of Gods.

In fact, my top wanted list for Figuarts includes:

Bulma (either Namek or AH sags versions)
Namek Gohan
Beers
Kid Buu
DB Goku w/tail
Adult Gohan (blue outfit)
Majin Vegeta (with alternate heads without the M)

Other than those, my must haves for what is out right now that I need are Goku, SS Goku, SS Vegeta, 18, and Krillin. Not sure if I am going to buy 17 or not and I have no interest in Broly, 16, or Nappa.

Geeze, you guys sure talk alot about what if figures, and I'm sitting here wanting none of it. :lol

Seriously man get over it. GT isnt "fan fiction" just because Toriyama doesn't like it or because you don't like it. Its an official continuation of Z in show form. There's no reason to shit all over a perfectly good show. It IS cannon. Toriyama regards it as something else entirely, but guess what? That's not his decision or yours. You don't like it? Fine, but you literally can not disregard it's existence, it's official.

I would personally love to have some GT characters in SHF form. Sure they aren't as popular as Z, so they won't likely happen for a long time. But I do want them. Give us a DB Kid Goku and an easy repaint/Remold would be GT Kid Goku. Creating a new GT Trunks body would be simple and the heads already exist from Future Trunks to use with it, toss in Giro as a bonus. SS4 Goku would be an incredibly badass looking figure too and a lot of people actually would be all over it.

Now for what's likely going to happen way before that? Post Broly & 16? We're probably looking at some more obvious things like maybe the other Imperfect Forms of Cell, possibly 1st form Frieza, God Goku, Kaioken Goku, Nappa, Raditz, Majin Buu, Majin Vegeta, Adult Gohan in one of various costumes, etc. I'm not saying GT figs should happen immediately, but there are definitely more deserving figures that should comefrom GT before a 1-off movie villain like Beerus

Actually, from the little I've read on the subject Toriyama seems to have quite a positive attitude toward GT.

Most of his negativity came from him being relegated to art consultant on the series. Rather than having actual creative/plot influence. He designed the main cast and came up with the title. But for the material itself I've never seen him being openly hateful of it. So when people call it "fan fiction" or unofficial simply because he didn't write it, it infuriates me.

Would people say the same thing about 75% of American comics which regularly changes writers 3 or 4 times a year? Only the first creators stories are cannon? That type of attitude is silly and pointless. DB/Z/GT is one big awesome shared universe.

I largely have no problem with GT other than the ending, which painted Goku as an absolutely horrible husband, father and grandfather. I mean Z didn't really do him a lot of favours but GT was just too much.

Vegeta was just perfect throughout thought. It was a brilliant continuation of his character development from a murderous prince into a loving father who could cast away his superiority complex.

Most fans don't view GT canon to the manga given he didn't write the show and you have stuff that won't fit like the Super 17 saga. In the manga, it states villains don't keep their bodies (Vegeta is lucky to keep one) since their souls get clean and get reincarnated as something else. So that makes the whole stupid saga in GT impossible to happen. Also recent stuff like Dragon Ball Online which has Akira Toriyama having a big part of the story of the game ignores GT in the timeline.

If they make GT figuarts then I would likely buy Super 17 and Super Yi Xing Long (Omega Shenron) because those two characters have great designs despite being lame villains. I do want to see the original Dragon Ball characters like Kid Goku and Master Roshi get made first before we jump into GT.
