Front row is July, Back Row is August, The Mega WCF Brolly should be August, although some of the UFO machines might get him in July.
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

It appears that some west coast sellers on eBay have Figuarts Goku in stock! I hope to have mine by this weekend. :D

Apologies for the double-post but lookie what I got!

Image

(Sorry for the lackluster quality of the pics, can't keep a steady hand anymore.)

Image

"Ka-me-ha-me..."

Image

"HA--!!"

And here's some goofy pics for anyone who is a fan of the Shonen Jump games for DS:

Image

"Let's go eat!"

Image

"ORA--!!"

"Wah...!"


Image

"..."

And here's how I have him displayed at the moment: http://s26.postimg.org/3tndysgt5/Shonen ... isplay.jpg

Great sculpting and lovely paint (Glad they went with a bright orange rather than a deep orange-red here!) and the accessories are really fun though I wish he came with a forward-looking yelling face and a smirking face. The only big qualm I have with the figure is that he really needs a rotating joint at the knees, it'd improve his leg articulation.

All in all, he's a great figure and is the best Goku they've done so far. :D

Oh man, you've got a Jurassic Park poster... I searched all over the internet for one of those.

Yeah, it took me years to track down that particular poster. Luckily I won it in an eBay auction awhile back. I also put my Jurassic Park 3D tickets in the frame. (Which is what I do with the other framed posters I own which had their movies re-released in theaters like Back to the Future and Raiders of the Lost Ark.)

Saw this on TFW2005. I'm not sure if it's reliable or not:

I always liked Broli's design, and I'd love to have "Kid" Boo to go with my SS3 Goku. I wouldn't mind this info being true. :D

Re: BOG figures

While I already have a ssjg Gokû figure that I'm happy with, I am curious about what they would come up with.

I'd honestly be happy even if they just repainted the regular Goku as SSG Goku (like this) despite the discrepancy in proportions.

Haha. I thought the avatar was familiar. I just didn't recognize the name, considering it's different. :p

I still hope they will make a S.H MonsterArts out of the giant size characters like Oozaru Vegeta. I do hope for S.H Figuarts of Coola soon. He will likely be a good seller since he's popular with both the Japanese and Western fandom.

And the SDCC DBZ SH Figuarts Exclusive for this year is...

"In this classic S.H.Figuarts rendition of Vegeta, he appears as you’ve only seen him in the original anime! Flash back to when Vegeta had reddish-brown hair and a completely different green and orange coloring for his Saiyan combat suit. Set comes with a rich variety of accessories for the ultimate action figure experience! Parts include folded arms, four interchangeable hand sets, including a special interchangeable “scouter crushing” hand part, three interchangeable face parts and head part with attachable scouter, tail parts, effect parts and special support stand for effect parts. This 2014 San Diego Exclusive is offered exclusively to fans in the US!"
