Ok, well, should've worded that one better. Still, fact remains they are working the repaints playbook to the hilt.

Very true.

Also true.

Just wanted to post that too :D

Goku and the aura-effects are going up for pre-order July 1st.

Hey, how come no one mentioned that R2 and C3PO were revealed for Figuarts?

Scored the new SHF Goku from AmiAmi!

They were? Are you sure you aren't just thinking of the Bandai model kits?

I think he does, I cannot find anything on Tamashii's homepage or the usual channels for reveals like this.

EDIT: Premium Color SS Vegeta is up for pre-order, snagged one :3

Yep.

Oh shit, didn't realize Kakashi had already been listed. Still gonna wait for Bluefin, but that's pretty cool.

Wondering what happened to Lee now, though...

Kakshi looks pretty good. I do wish that they made Naruto figuarts of the original character designs and not the ones from Shippuden. I always like Nartuo when he was a kid despite being annoying most of the time.

Huh, honestly hadn't come across that anywhere. Any idea where it was taken?

Oh, I hadn't seen those, nice! I needs!

I hope I get a second chance at Luke...

One of my friends on Facebook found it on a Japanese site from the showroom they had a few week's back (or maybe it was like a week ago).

Bluefin's AX display

Thanks to FigInStock I finally got a pre-order in for AoU Hulk at HLJ!

He's still open for anyone else who may have missed him:

Man, is there a reason why DBZ figuarts are the most expensive thing in the world in the aftermarket? I know they're popular in the west but goddamn the prices some of these figures command is ridiculous, I think I saw one go for over £1000

With that said I managed to find the normal hair goku for a decent price, after I preordered the battle damaged super saiyan goku and vegeta I felt I needed to have the good ol black hair goku as well.

I know, after preordering those two I feel like I need Perfect Cell and regular Frieza :(

I recently paid a small fortune for Perfect Cell at a convention, and even then that was a deal. Frieza may, MAY, get a reissue as might Cell one day. Based on Vegeta & Trunks anything is possible now.

I kinda hope we'll see the other Frieza forms at some point. I just love the idea of getting one of his first form that comes with his pod and posing him in it.

Yeah, if no Frieza reissue ever comes I'd be happy with first form or mecha Frieza just to fill the void. I just don't dig the golden one at all :lol

First form Frieza would be the only one I'm interested in, also because of his flying chair. They might do second form because they can easily retool it into King Cold.

But if we talk frost demons, I really, really want final form Cooler.

If that ever happens they should go overboard with the accessories and include alternate parts so you can have the redesign from Super Dragonball Z:

They won't do it but it would be super awesome.

Would this Mecha Frieza come with the ability to split him in half to pose with Trunks? :lol

All of my yes. Cooler would be one of the few I'd go gaga over.

Naturally, if it didn't Tamashii Nations would be doing it wrong :D

Oh definitely. Cooler would be amazing.

First form would be great. Not too fond of 2nd or 3rd. Cooler would be great too.

I also just preordered my first DBZ SHF, Vegeta's up at BBTS, so I snagged one there! :D

Cooler in any form would be downright amazing. I'd say his initial Frieza Final Form equivalent would make the most sense for release as it could be repainted incredibly easily as Meta Cooler later.

Hoooly fuck. Itachi and Minato!

Not going to lie...I really want that Itachi...but the arms, it looks like they sacrificed aesthetic for articulation. It looks so disjointed and toylike with the way the bicep and shoulders are cut. Minato looks pretty nice.

Oh there's no need to sugarcoat it, those arms look pretty terrible in that picture. Maybe you can get them to look better, but by the nature of his design, breaking it up for articulation would always make it look a little wonky. The cloak is his iconic look, so it was the best choice. I'd have wished they went with an opened color so we could see his more of his face and his necklace though.

Can't see anything I don't like about Minato.

(Plus Sage Mode Naruto... Meh haha.)

Reeeeally do have to wonder what the hell happened to Rock Lee now. He was the second revealed, but has lately been nowhere to be seen.

It probably would've cut up the look more, but it would have been kinda cool if the collar was pegged in and could be replaced with an open one to make his face and neck more clear.

Of course I have to wonder if the eyes will be regular Sharingan or Mangekyo.

These Naruto SHFs leave me in such a weird state of mind. I really don't like the series and haven't for years, but I still feel that tug to get Kakashi, Itachi, and even Sasuke with all of his problems. Hell I'd pre-order a Kimimaro in a heartbeat.

I'm glad they're making more figures in the Naruto line but they all still seem off. Its weird because both the Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball lines look great. I'm worried they're going to turn Naruto into Goku and give us a different form every other release. I'll keep buying them though cause I'm a sucker for Naruto.

Also wheres Sakura?! You give me Team 7 but no Sakura?!

I think the Naruto figures are just too static in sculpt so they come off feeling too flat.

Also does anyone know how much SDCC frieza goku went for at the show, because I've been looking on ebay and the prices are fffking ridiculous.

That's because it's Naruto, it's going to be static becasue the series is flat to begin with. :lol

Anyway, yeah, the prices for that Goku are insane. Do people not know that Bluefin will be having other stores like BBTS and Amazon sell them after the show? They've only done this for the last several years.

According to someone over at TFW who is at SDCC, Bluefin is just giving away the Mario 1-Up Mushrooms to anyone who buys anything it seems.

I sure as fucking hell hope they still have them shipped out with Yoshi like it's supposed to. (My understand being they were supposed to be extremely limited?) Their card says he'll be available on the 15th, so we'll find out soon.

That would royally suck if he didn't, but with the way BF has been these last 18 months, it wouldn't surprise me.

Since I've decided to stop collecting DBZ Figuarts, I hope they show the Ranma 1/2 Figuarts at SDCC and give us preorders soon.

I would buy a SHF of Coola's 5th form if they ever make it since I always been a big fan of that design. I think if we another pre-BOG movie character into a figuart then SSj Gogeta will likely bound to happen. We already have SHF Vegito, so having SSj Gogeta would be nice to have along side him on display.

I just want to know if SSJ4 Goku will ever see the light of day :( I wanted that and its stopped showing up at events now.

Well if they don't, Wonderfest is in a week or so too. Probably more chance of them turning up there actually.
