I don't understand (*_*) mexigoku will be release for sdcc? I can buy it? (*_*) can i buy 2? (*_*) who did say that? Where come that information? It's official?

Switch to decaf. :-D

There were reports that DAM Representatives, the Tamashii Mexican distributors, said that the figures that were used for the Mexican Exclusive will also be used for the SDCC Exclusive. Bluefin is revealing the exclusive at the end of this week so we'll know whether or not it's true and go from there to answer your questions.

Again, take it with a grain of salt but let's hope for the best!

But there's alot more people who grew up on the manga including myself. Dbz anime was hard to come by back in the early 90s and fansubbed tapes were hard to find. Bandai/Tamashi don't have to just cater fans who solely grew up on the anime.

Making some big assumptions there man. Dbz exploded BECAUSE of the anime. The manga was just something most of us realized was a thing after we watched the show. If tamashii were doing B&W repaints from the start do you honestly think we would even be here? Its just not something that appeals to many people, myself included.

No. The manga was something that the "mainstream" American viewers see as an afterthought. Dragonball was first and foremost a manga that readers would read in the pages of Shonen Jump. That is fact and no assumption.

No, the assumption, as I stated, was that the manga was what shot dbz into the spotlight in the US and UK. It wasnt. I am well aware the manga came first, but I will freely admit I didnt even know the manga existed until dbz was over and I looked into it.

You talk as if shonen jump was a thing elsewhere in the world, and I dont know about America, but it didnt exist in the Uk. I had to hunt down special copies from import stores.

You do realize that new chapters were printed in weekly magazines in other parts of Southeast Asia, right?

 

[Big Deano]

You do realize that new chapters were printed in weekly magazines in otger parts of Southeast Asia, right?

Again, I am not talking about Asia, I am talking about the west. I know it was a thing in Japan and Asia, but it wasnt anywhere else, and you have to realize that.

EDIT: Look, I get it, the manga was big for you, and you grew up on subbed versions of the anime, but what you have to get is that most of us didnt. We grew up on the Ocean and Funi dubs during the massive influx at the end of the 90s. We started differently, but that doesnt make us "mainstream" fans as you call us any less fans than you are.

No, they're not available online. They're still only available at the Mexican event that ended today.

Bluefin will announce it at the end of this upcoming week. So, from a week from now, we should know what the SDCC Exclusive is going to be.

Honestly, after this comment i'm not even going to bother anymore, i have tried explaining things and you just dont seem to care. You keep trying to make me out to be stupid and it isnt working. That phrase is alot more to do with you than it is me man.

I'm honestly pretty sure more people grew up on the anime than the manga I'm willing to wager.... Unless entire china has... If you're talking numbers, no I don't think so. DBZ the anime broke world wide and propelled Goku to a point where he's not that far away in terms of recognition from bigger comic book heroes. That would have NEVER happened without the anime... The Anime is bigger than the Manga because it's way more global.

Just as, actually, superhero movies are bigger than the actual comic books if you wanna talk purely audience numbers... Again, unless I'm unware that the whole of china or india read this manga too...

And none of this woulda happened without the source material. There's a market for a black and white dbz figures and a perfectly good excuse for Bandai to reissue older sh figuarts dbz toys in this manner.

 

[Big Deano]

*sigh* theres a big difference between respecting the source and it actually being a sellable idea, which brings us back to the whole reason why its a BAD idea, which is what I have been trying to explain for over an hour -_-

Yeah, within the next week, the rumor has been that Bluefin will announce the SDCC Exclusive while, another rumor, claims that it will be the same figure. I'm not necessarily sure you'll be able to buy it off of Amazon, apparently you were able to for SDCC Piccolo but not for SDCC Vegeta, but Bluefin does put up extra stock on their website a few weeks after SDCC that you can purchase. If you stay on this thread* after SDCC, one of us will post a reminder/website when it's up.

My only question is why didnt he come in this color.?? They had a good thing and dong all over it.

Sorry to butt into the blck and white figuarts style for dbz debate or chat, wheather it'll appeal to the massives or not; im all in for it. It should not be a web exclusive but a sdcc exclusive. White and black figures goes right hand to the left hand with that convention, due to uniqueness. If only i can get my hands on that vegeta prototype. Ill just wait for the release of the advance or whatever you call it to come out and spray that sucka with primer.
