I'd say its a toss up between ssj4 and ssjGod Goku. ssj4 seems almost like a production run figure and ssjGod to go with Beerus.

I'll take either one of those first! The only one I'm truly disappointed in, is SSJ3 Vegeta. I just can't help but think what could've been.

yeah but they seem to be avoiding Kid Buu like the plague. they're hopping on the DBSuper hypetrain way too fast, and now even dabbling with DBHeroes

I just wanted to give my thoughts on the new figures shown today. I figured I would list in the order that I feel these might be released to the most likely to ones we might see released much later than the others.
Armor Trunks - Looks amazing. Simple as that, and the fact that they are using the new joint technology found in awakening Goku is great, and I hope they include this new tech in more figures going forward. It should really be a standard for all future releases.
Champa/Vados/Whis - These characters seemed like obvious choices in the long run. With Super currently in production, having the Gods of Destruction and their attendants made is a obvious choice.
Super Saiyan God Goku - They did a great job making a new mold for God Goku. Looks great. The only thing that looks off to me is his lower torso/legs. I don't know, something about how they sculpted those seems odd to me.
Super Saiyan 4 Goku - Big surprise seeing this with the others, and judging by the obvious retooling they did to the sculpt such as the elbows, knees and so forth, I truly feel that we will be seeing this figure released during the coming year. And I for one can't wait for it to come out. Though I've seen everyone else's complaints about the face. What's wrong with it exactly? Looks fine to me.
Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta - Totally out of left field! Big surprise to see this figure. Though like some others have said, not really digging that figure. The hair sculpt looks great, but the face, and his manly chesticles need some work. And hey, at least we have a buu saga sculpt for Vegeta waiting to be released. Though I agree, I would rather have a Super Saiyan 2/majin head and or sculpt instead of Super Saiyan 3. So for now... a big ol' meh.
Kid Goku - Another big surprise, and a great one at that! Not much to say other than I feel that he looks great, and hope he is released soon. Along with Super Saiyan 4, it would be great to have a sort of evolution of Goku display set up, with him as a child up through his past and current Saiyan transformations.
GT Adult Goku/Angel Goku - Meh?! Me personally, I would rather have Goku in his end of z colors instead of the GT one, but maybe that could be a SDCC exclusive color we could get in the future. Though other than that, these Goku releases aren't really necessary, to me anyway.
Why I am happy to see these new potential releases, why so many Goku's? He is my favorite character and all, and will probably get most of these, but we need more villains, where are the Buu's? It could be fat, kid, or super Buu, or hell, all of them, just please release a Buu Tamashii. Again, very glad to see all of these and can't wait to see these in the future, though this event was a little too Goku focused.

Now that I've gotten everything together and composed myself, thoughts starting with the Goku's:
SSG Goku - I can't believe they actually gave us a new mold. Flabbergasted really. Looks like the comments of them being lazy really hit home
Everything about him is perfect. Looks straight out of the anime. Looks like I'm selling my Banpresto Goku 
SSJ4 Goku - I knew hope wasn't lost! I just...I just knew he'd come back. The face as many others have pointed out isn't quite as good as the first time we saw him but it's fine for all intents and purposes. The new knees are EXCELLENT. All the other details on him are flawless too, so happy right now. Need it even be said, I'm buying him so hard.
GT Adult Goku - Wasn't expecting this ever really. That said, looks perfect. Hard figure to mess up really since it's basically swapping and repainting of existing parts but he turned out exactly as he should be. Nice little surprise for GT characters. Would like to see SSJ4 Vegeta next. Pleasant surprise and definite buy.
Kid Goku - YES. YES. FINALLY. We're gonna get Dragon Ball Figuarts! His face looks off and his head seems a little too large. Something about the overall proportions is off but they've always been able to tweak things so I'm sure the final product will be great. I wonder if that Korin will be available one day? Will probably be seeing Bulma next. Can't have Kid Goku without Bulma. Buying for sure.
Angel Goku - Da fuq? SOO random and since he was never seen like that in the anime I couldn't care less about this figure. Won't get it unless it comes with some good accessories or different faces. Good for people that want a Normal Goku again I guess...
Whis - It was inevitable. His face is off but it'll be fixed just like Vegito and 18's was. The height is where I expected it to be since I knew they would never make him actually to scale but it's not THAT big a deal. Looks like they opted to keep his dress a solid piece which is fine. Looks great overall, definitely getting him.
Vados - Don't know about the character much but looks like it'll be a great figure. Will buy.
Champa - Same as Vados. Looks good. The part between the top of his belly and his **** looks wierd though. Seems to be a strange gap but I'm sure they'll fix it. If not, don't care. Still getting him.
Super Trunks - Amazing. The body mold, faces, and hair. Absolutely perfect in every way. I ordered a bunch of PC Vegetas so I could swap heads to make Cell Saga Vegeta and Trunks with Jacksdo's and the like. Now I'm gonna have to sell them cuz I'd much rather have this body sculpt instead.
SSJ3 Vegeta - What the hell? Tamashii KNOWS we want Majin Vegeta or at least a regular Buu Saga Vegeta. Instead they give us an official version of Vegeta. No excuse for this other than they're ****ing with us. IF and that's a big if, they don't give us Majin/Buu Saga soon, I'll end up having to buy this Vegeta and make my own Buu Saga Vegeta's. Other than the version of Vegeta that they've decided to troll us with, the body looks amazing. Sadly the boot tips aren't detailed but I can always replace with some extra of the Armored Trunks feet. They WILL release the Vegeta we want. Right now they're displaying this one just to mess with us but you best believe they have the REAL heads ready to go. I don't wanna get it even though the head sculpt is amazing. The face probably looks like that cuz, well, SSJ3. Unless Vegeta somehow attains that form in Super, I'll pass.
Edit:
Porunga - Almost forgot about him lol. Looks good but without Shenron, pointless. Also, I like my Porunga statue better since it's bigger. The scale kills this and Shenron for me. Wouldn't buy either unless they upscaled them with has 100% of not happening.

Overall thoughts are that Tamashii is stepping their game up. I'm guessing we'll now be seeing at least 1 release per month. It has officially reached Kamen Rider levels. The new joint system they've got going is looking great. I see they're trying to use the Goku mold to it's fullest hence the GT Goku and Angel Goku (seriously?). As far as what will be getting released, here's the one's I think have the least likely chance of making it:
Angel Goku - Seeing as most people don't like it, they may just scrap it. Wouldn't care really.
GT Adult Goku - He does have a new belt sculpt so he may actually come out. He's simple enough and I'm sure he'll sell just fine. Hate GT as much as you want but GT figures have a market.
SSJ3 Vegeta - Because of the backlash so far, they may not release him. The body however we'll see when they finally announce the real deal. Majin/SSJ/SSJ2 Vegeta isn't a matter of if, only when.
Nappa and the Buu's will make a return. Seeing as SSJ4 Goku is back and pretty much ready for production, I think the Buu's aren't around cuz they're fixing the knee's like they did with Goku. Also they're probably tweaking other things such as the head articulation, and whatever else. Point is, they're gone now, but they'll return. Nappa is probably still being tweaked as well. The demand is there and it'd be silly to not release. They've even acknowledged the demand through their social media. Again, only a matter of when. Shenron I understand because he is probably gonna cost a lot and not everyone will be willing to pay up. Don't care if they release him or not since he's too small and there's better statues. Also same goes for Porunga. Don't really care.
Also the Kid Goku means smaller characters like Goten and Trunks are very possible, perhaps in the near future. Also, OG Dragon Ball figures ftw. The GT Adult Goku could mean more GT releases which is fine by me.

here we go folks
Mistake or intentional placement of the mouse on the Super Saiyan Trunks picture? New sculpt indeed

Since Vegeta and Trunks got their new sculpts as was rumored, it's pretty safe to say that PC Cell and SSJ3 are practically confirmed at this point. Who knows, we may see them and some more stuff as the event continues? If they don't show anything else I don't care since we've got PLENTY to swoon over at this point.

I didnt even realize I had left the mouse visible, oops [emoji14]Mistake or intentional placement of the mouse on the Super Saiyan Trunks picture? New sculpt indeed
I basically made a powerpoint presentation and recorded the screen, usually the mouse and fps counter are automatically removed [emoji38]

Yes yes yes Kid Goku Finally! My favorite.
Yeah what everyone's been saying, weird proportions, head should be bigger, clothes should be baggier.
But I'm new to this line and you guys say they usually look better upon release so I'll believe it.

It's a good time to start collecting these. Lots of amazing figures coming out and pseudo re-releases of old ones too. Lately Tamashii's been stepping their game up with improving their prototypes so come production time we should be golden. They're still dicks like always (looking at you Angel Goku and SSJ3 Vegeta) but when they deliver, they really deliver.
Lol, great review nonetheless. Got me real hyped for these figures

Cool, I don't know why I didn't start to collect these when the line started, I'm kicking myself for that, but oh well, if I can at least get a proper Dragon Ball collection, then I'm good, I like DB better anyway.
Pic for reference, I don't mind manga colors, but that means re-release right?
Head seems to be alright, just a different expression.Also, have they ever said anything about the characters in regular clothes? I would LOVE a Badman t-shirt Vegeta.

BADMAN shirt Vegeta would be grail.
