Here's a translated tweet from the Dragon Ball Super twitter page...

Edited: Here's another version...

“The release of the TV series Dragon Ball Super based on the Akira Toriyama story begins this July. After the meeting with the God of Destruction, Beerus who had awakened from a long sleep, and after Frieza’s resurrection who was once feared as the “emperor of the universe”. An even more mysterious character now comes into play.”

hah, mysterious....

inb4 leaks of the new antagonist

It's gotta be one of the other gods from one of the other universes. Beerus said it himself, that those beings are much more powerful than him. Toriyama set that up for a reason.

One of the youtubers mentioned it could end up being Demigra from Xenoverse. He is a god after all...

Adding him in also allows Xenoverse/onlines amazing story elements to be merged in. Future Trunks, time breaker Bardock, Towa and Mira etc could appear. Can you imagine a Bardock technically stronger than ssj4 Gogeta as the main shown protagonist with the others in the background controlling events?

or maybe it might be this little guy



"Fu is a demon, and the son of the two main villains in the game, the artificial being Mira and the evil scientist Towa. According to the Taiwanese Dragon Ball Online guidebook, he will have a big influence on the world when he grows up."

Hello friends, speaking of airbrushing, I've been thinking about buying one, it's just that most of the known brands are quite expensive (they cost hundreds!). I found one called a Master Airbrush Kit which seems to be a Chinese made bootleg/clone of the Iwata (according to one youtube review). Has anyone here used the Master Airbrush brand to work on Figuarts toys? I don't really plan to airbrush anything large like cars, I mainly want to paint toys and maybe little sculptures/accessories that I'll be making. Is this good enough?

I got about a dozen or so 12 inch customs done with the very same chinese knockoff airbursh. It functions the same and is good for practice, but it will fail due to the excessive cleaning airbrushes require. I was unscrewing the nozzle one day and I sheared the thread off, leaving the metal thread inside the airbrush (this all occurred in a little 1mm opening) effectively making it junk. It will get you started and do a good few DBZ customs for you though.

Something like a badger 250 is also good for laying down blanket coats of a single colour, it is technically a small spray gun rather than an airbrush. They are very hardy and I use one for larger areas/priming/topcote etc to save cleaning of the more delicate dual action airbrush.

Constant cleaning is 100% necessary with these things, they should look brand new after each paint session (very laborious)

goku and vegeta needs to babysit it? this reeks of beelzebub
although it may be a fun filler arc

 

[Silrian]

I think Pilaf should just kill Dr. Briefs cat and he becomes a monster and a new god of destruction with technical creations far beyond anything the z fighters have ever battled.

 

[Big Deano]

Omg Blood, that DOES look like Beelzebub [emoji38]

Only difference is that he is Daburas kid though, isnt he?

 

[soundwave]

Guys without trawling back through a million pages what's the deal with the new Gohan?

Any major tweaks or anything special?
Should I grab him if I already have the last re-release?

It's a shame those are not articulated such a waste...

Brings me back to when they announced sigma from MMX was going to be a figuarts zero.

Random: who here would be OK with the sdcc exclusive being mexico goku with more standard packaging? I think it'd be perfect.

 

[FSLAR]

Yeah those D.O.D. figures look pretty nice, some of the tailoring on the outfits could be better, but still ok. Also TJ, I know what you mean about Sigma.

SDCC being Mexican Goku would be ok, that's what most of this thread has theorized

More Super Saiyan 3 Goku Figuarts Zero EX from Roy Focker on Facebook...

Thanks. This thread is a bit everywhere so I definitely didn't catch it but am so glad not to be the only one OK with that!

 

[Big Deano]

Yeah, this thread is mostly Ok, we are pretty tolerant of people showing their enthusiasm of other lines as long as its dragonball [emoji14]

Figuarts take precedence when a new figure is announced though!

 

[Orbital Frame]

Thanks for your opinions everyone, I guess the real SSGSS Vegeta figure will have a new sculpt and (according to their appearance in RoF) less muscular and less high if we compare it with the SS version.

Here other images that I made with this retouched figure:

TJ Duckett: your pictures and reviews are really impressive.
