Why would we have to wait? Comes out April 18 I believe. When BoGs came out in Japan it was also released limited here in America. It was showing at a theatre not far from my house.
EDIT: Apparently the release date for Murica is December 31st. But, we'll no doubt be able to stream the Japanese version way before then.
I hope it's that soon! No, I won't be streaming it. People told me it was stealing so I don't want to do that. I'm not judging anyone though. I really don't want spoilers, so I guess I'll have to refrain from the forums for awhile.
Great point about Vegeta repurposing the saiyan armor for "good". Through his actions he challenges our perception of what the armor stands for. However, I still don't dig on the gray...
Also, good catch in regards to Vegeta's buu saga outfit. I think I just assumed Vegeta stopped wearing his armor because he's a badass. It's easy to forget that these sagas take place over a relatively short period of time. I guess Vegeta didn't have time to run home and change.
Thanks! I'm going to be level with you. My whole reason of saying that was just to mention Batman. I'm just kidding! I really dig the new outfit as a callback to the Namek arc, but I would prefer that color over the gray.
@Bane wow Vegeta wore that during that flashback? Damn I've never realised that. Regarding the rest you said, I dunno, thanks for preferring the all gold idea, but still, I'm not sure if I feel there's any real deeper reason for these colours. It looks like Toriyama was just like 'I'm gonna surprise them because it's funny'.
That's probably it. I was just catching up on the thread, and I just wanted to say that I really appreciated your words on the George Lucas Hate. Personally, I think those pre-quels are garbage, but why make it miserable for people that love them? Lucas can do whatever he wants. He put his heart and soul into something, and I think it's awful for fans to dictate what he should do with the universe he worked so hard to make.
I think you know that the original Japanese is my "Dragon Ball," but I'm happy for whatever version you like. Masako Nozawa is my Goku! I just posted that, because I thought you might find it interesting.
Here's a more relevant quote to figuarts that may quell some debate over GT's popularity:
In an interview for the video game Dragon Ball Z Raging Blast 2, the developers responded to a question on the difference between Japanese and North American fans:
Speaking of the different regions, what do you believe the Japanese fans want compared to the North America fans?
GT is popular with fans overseas. In Japan, it’s not as popular. With Japanese fans they like to relive the Dragon Ball story since its such a long and iconic story. What if scenarios and GT are popular for fans in US and Europe, I think that’s what they want to see.
Maybe that doesn't tell us anything, but it was quite a surprise they were making a figuarts version of SSJ4 Goku. If I was a cold-hearted jerk, I'd want them to just scrap it, but I know there's a lot of people here that have their hearts set on it. I'm happy for them! There's just nothing I want that's been announced this year, unfortunately.
I was actually so happy to see the promotion for Resurrection of F Figures! I definitely will be buying Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan if they make them. I like that Gohan actually looks like he hasn't kept up his training!
I wished I could do nothing and look like how he did in his blue gi! He was more ripped than the guys calling him wimpy!
I completely forgot! Great art guys! Keep up the awesome work! Oh, and sorry for posting so much at once. I've been really busy, so I'm trying to catch up with the discussions!
