If it took them this long to go ahead with Vegeta, I really doubt we'd be seeing the weaker characters in this line.
I've put my Piccolo into most poses back when I first got him, this is the one you guys were talking about.
Here
That pose looks great, hmm, im a little more tempted to get him now 
but on your point about vegeta - really it was only a matter of time, they had made the proto so at least thats a start, with the other characters they dont even get a look in!
the fact its an ''exclusive'' is a real 'F you' to the fans from Bandai IMO
i managed to find that Bluefin pole https://www.99polls.com/poll_75272:1 and... it kinda sucks. as usual eveyone wants vegeta and trunks because thats the order of succession as it should be - Goku , super saiyan Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Vegeta , Trunks - fair enough, after that i get Cell and Freeza because with such badass posing ability on the figures there sould be something for them to fight!
its good to see Krillin at least make the list BUT why the hell is
Hercule / Mr. Satan, Great Saiyaman and even Master Roshi there??? WTF???those three places should have been Tenshinhan, chaotzu and Yamcha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hope so
well i think thats just bad - because all Z soldiers kick ass!
and yes if Bandai dont give us normal goku with that awesome ki ball effect i wil consider it another 'F you' from Bandai!!

I'd honestly rather get the other Saiyans, like Raditz, Bardock, Freeza's henchmen, Brolly, different forms of Freezas and Cells, Freeza's dad and Cooler.
well each to their own and i respect your opinion but i dont agree
, but ive never got the whole bardock and brolly obsession - they hardly appear at all. same for freezas dad and cooler, 2 episodes then he's dead and then another film character... the core of DB is the Z soldiers and as such i think they deserve to be made before other abstract characters and variants of others characters.

no worries bud
Well, for me its not actually about more screen appearances actually. Its down to character design, as well as the character itself. Bardock was unique in his on way, character wise, though he looks just like Goku, his character is the opposite of Goku.
Freeza's dad has a very natural, original and unique design IMO. Unlike the later villains like Maajin Boo which I think looks poor, design wise.
my piccolo is also like this. Legs look different colour of purple than torso.
Anyone else got same problem?
They're all like that as far as I know, but it isn't as obvious in real life.

cool, i understand your point.
i just think for the SHF line it would make sense to bring out the main characters, and villains, as standard and then maybe do variants of freeza , cell and characters like Bardock etc. as web exclusives.
but weve yet to even get normal Goku
so who knows if we'll get any more 
Mine doesnt have color differences. Now I know that theres no differences aside the sticker color, but mine is the Japanese edition. And some collectors believe that Japanese edition usually have tighter joints, and better quality wise. But I dont think this is true though.

I'd love Cell, Bardock etc as web exclusives, and I think thats the only way that they'll do them. As evidenced by the Rider series and their exclusives.
Dont think Bardock etc will sell too well if made as a normal edition figure anyways

well obviously i wouldnt buy a bardock myself
and when you say japanese edition of piccolo do you mean as opposed to a hong kong edition??? if i did get a piccolo i think the colour difference would annoy me a bit.
mine is also the japanese edition. The colour difference is so slight you can hardly notice. The figures are awesome tho.
Here are mine at moment until i get some stands

no difference between the "Japanese edition" and the "american"
the US versions are simply Japanese editions that were imported.

I have the Japanese edition of Piccolo, and it's got that minor difference in colour. There's no difference between it and the Hong Kong edition other than the box having the "Dragon Ball Z" logo on the Hong Kong edition, because 'Kai' hasn't been dubbed over there.
Which I think was actually kind of cool that they paid attention to such a small detail.
The SDCC Goku does look kind cool. Wish I had taken up on the offer when my cousin in the States offered to get stuff from SDCC for me, but I was worried that it was going to have mini-irises in the mass produced stock like the Regular Ed. Goku.

The mini irises are just due to the paint job. They are essentially the same sculpt.
I know, but it wasn't that way in the promo pictures for the regular release Goku. So the same thing could happen to the SDCC version until we got to see actual in-hand pictures of the figure.

The collectors here, in Indonesia actually have this myth that the quality ranks in this order:
No. 1 Best quality, paint job, tight joints = Japan version
No. 2 HK version
No. 3 China, Singapore, Malaysia version
No. 4. Indonesia version
Oh, I see what you mean.
I guess that means its okay for me to skip the regular Goku then. But what bout Gohan? I have him and I think he looks fine.
Lets hope theres no issues with Vegeta.
Fingers crossed for Vegeta. Gohan's sculpt was spot on, except for those really dark and thick lines on his face! The Tamiya thinner I have is too weak to rub it off, but someone suggested scratching it off gently with a toothpick, and they can't out with pretty good results. I think I'll take a stab at that when I have the time.
Most of my Japanese toys are Japan version, since ordering from Japanese websites is actually the cheapest. Only when the pre-orders are full in minutes and I'd have to resort to eBay that I get Hong Kong editions.
And I can tell you bad QC and weak joints are indiscriminate! I've had my fair share of QC problems with Japanese edition Myth Cloth than I'd care to bring up.
