If the thing about the faces vs helmets thing is true, I'd speculate we're going to get a helmeted Old Man Boba, Bo Katan, Dark Trooper, as well as the Scout Trooper up for at least preorder in 2021. Maybe one of Bo's sidekicks as well. If they are still into making face characters we might get...

Yikes. Well, for the first time I'm actually worried the line is dead, outside of buckets, troopers, and droids. I still think they by far have the best face game, in spite of a few misses. Still hoping we see some more ST and OT faces before the book closes forever, but my hope has faded. If...

Hmm. That explains lack of face characters for 2020. Unless Grogu counts as a human face. Palps -I think- was the last reveal, in November 2019. Then Hasbro renewed their deal in 2020 and Figuarts has only had a droid, Mando's, and a baby Yoda. And their Samurai Mando. Scout Troopers I guess...

Do you guys think the Star Wars license is just one and done, you pay a price and get everything? Or is it broken up into different media and movies? I'm not sure myself, but the thought has me wondering if Bandai even owns the rights to the old films still, or if they only have Mandalorian.

Also of note - Bandai went over the top with accessories for their Beskar Mando, whereas their Boba Fett in comparison was pretty light, but was only really competing at the time with after market $ Black Series and Mafex. Then Mafex announces their Mando, and while they show a prototype with...

Do not agree, entirely, but Figuarts does have a miss every so often and it seems like a much bigger deal because of the price point and that they don't produce figures as often. On the other hand, Black Series has a hit every so often, and it seems like a huge hit because expectations are...

Well, I hope Mando and the huge slate of TV shows coming next year will stoke the Star Wars flames for them again. I guess Rise of Skywalker may not have been a big merch money maker. I like that they're doing Mando figures but there are still several must haves from the other lines they need to...

Man, I really wish they'd release the Scout Trooper/Speeder Set. I'm glad Mando versions will be coming, but the RoTJ version was my favorite toy as a kid, would love to get the adult version - but aftermarket prices are just too vicious. Maybe I can customize one of the Mandos...

Sorry, for some reason this site wouldn't load at all for me yesterday, just read this today :slap Good like finding him!

Last day of NYCC tomorrow - if anyone wants any of the exclusives let me know. Would gladly trade for a Tien, Yamcha, or Goku 1.0

Ahh bummer. I attended NYCC last year and the banner was entirely Dragon Ball if I remember correctly. I was hoping I'd be able to nab a Tien, Yamcha, or SS Vegeta 2.0 at a price somewhat in the ballpark of original pricing at this years NYCC. Hoping they show up bigger there but unlikely.

Anyone see any pictures of what's for sale at SDCD? I wonder if they have that same price/picture banner as last year. I'm curious what they have in stock and how much they are vending for.

Tried for a while to avoid collecting this line, just picking up a couple pieces here and there. Got a Kid Goku, Bulma, and then I nabbed Goku 2.0 at B&N last summer for $30... but after starting FighterZ, the hunger for more of these guys finally came. Swung by a Game Stop yesterday on a whim...

What do you think the chances are that they will release a 2.0 Piccolo in the next year or so? I'm considering picking up the old one (just started collecting), but he's getting somewhat pricy - $65-70 when he was about $35 this time last year. Not crazy expensive or anything, but if he's going...

Hey all - very casual Figuarts collector here... have a few Marvel and Star Wars pieces but have been considering jumping into their Dragon Ball line for a while and took the plunge a little while ago to preorder DBS Trunks. However - I just managed to order the Saiyin Raised on Earth Goku via...
