But that's not even close to surprising though. Broli is $67, and for the brief amount of time that he'll be out in Japan before the US, he'll probably be on eBay and some of the Amazon partner stores for like $200.

The Godzilla S.H MonsterArts and the DBZ figuarts are made for the US market. So Bluefin can always release them retail. In Japan, DBZ figuarts sold poorly since it seems like DBZ action figures are not very big to most casual collectors in Japan compare to other franchises like Kamen Rider (which is why S.H figuarts exist in the first place). If it was not for the US then the line would have ended after SSj Turnks.

Is FA Vegeta only available at SDDCi, since I live in the UK and won't be able to attend (although I hope to go to SDDCi when I graduate hopefully in 2016)? Been looking for a FA Vegeta for sometime.

Random eBay search turns up a UDM version of SSj3 Vegetto.

I'm surprise to see merchandise of SSj3 Vegito. Seems so random and unlikely.

Hmm, why? We've had Heroes characters like SS3 Future Trunks, SS3 Broli, SS3 Vegeta, SS3 Gogeta, SS(2) Bardock and GT Gotenks show up with this line of keychains. (Charapucchi?)

True, but I'm just used to seeing toys based on stuff from the anime and manga. I love key chains, I will likely pick up Buuhan on Ebay.

So we got some confirmations from Tamashii about upcoming figures at the LA Anime Expo Panel. The info was taken from first hand accounts by anons.

-Figuarts Nappa is back on the table if Broly is a success.
-Dragon Ball effect parts still kinda iffy as effect parts are expensive to make.
-Next DBZ Figuart is SSJ Vegetto.
-DBZ line will continue out of order, but will generally have a Buu saga focus.
-New Tamashii Buddies line DBZ and Sailor Moon confirmed.

Definitely excited for this one! I was always tempted to try and make a custom, but I don't have much experience and never ended up doing so. This is exciting!

I wish he'd come with a regular hair head as well, since they can reuse the mold. At least they should release a normal Vegetto at some point.

Well, this Gotenks did pop up in my Twitter feed, so maybe this is part of it?

Don't know about the Super Saiyan Vegeta but the Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Gotenks have the same price as a 'Hero Avatar Saiyan Super Class-Up' so I'm guessing it's these three figures on the left... and the Super Saiyan 3 Goku is the one on the middle-right perhaps.

I'm glad we're getting an SSj4 Goku though... it's the only form my Goku shelf is missing, aside from some of the GT Kid Goku forms.

Getting what look like WCF-esque figures for SS3 Gotenks, SS3 Goku, Minus Bardock, Minus Goku and Gine...with butcher knife. Guess we're finally going to learn their color schemes! Gine's here, the others are in the spoiler tag.
