And a close-up of Gohan, Krillin & Goku:

Gohan seems to have the same exact orange but no shading whatsoever. Goku's shoulders look really dark there,though. Maybe lighting?
 
I still think there's hope for Tamashii Asia to release the Namek Goku for some reason. Just doesn't make sense that they'd let their Asian fan base out in the cold, while there's money to be made. As this isn't just a simple repaint.

If I'm wrong then so be it. I'd rather have no Namek variant than over pay something by 4x fold. The awakening Goku will suffice for me.
 
Thanks for the vid and pics Orbital. Seeing that display so soon after sdcc just shows how much sdcc got shafted this year.
Yeah this is sort of like pretty much really god damn ridiculous... Sorta like "Yeah we made our money of you building up the line these years, now we'll be rankin in our way, thanks. Here's some upcoming stuff and a ****ed up sdcc release. Don't forget to keep buying, bye!"
Is it me or does Ultimate Gohan and Son Goku's gis not match up in color just slightly?

exactly what I was gonna say, seems gohan is shadingless. ...Siiiigh....

Meanwhile I'm here, contemplating buying 2 awakening goku's cause I really wanna ditch that awful manga goku ssj head and have this one twice. This is the best goku ssj head so far. Easily trumps sdcc ssj goku imo.
At least we can ditch the manga ssj goku faces and just use the three that come with awakening goku.

was just about to say, I think I may end up liking this Gohan a lot due to the lack of shading. Goku remains one of my favorite releases and the base orange is a great color but the outfit has such heavy neon orange shading it kind of ruins the figure for me. If they've changed the shading color or the amount of shading for the Gohan I'll be very pleased. It also looks like they fixed the heavy shading on the neck/trap area which would be even better.
 
If someone is able to grab me an sdcc goku i will make a capsule corp ship lile the one displayed at sdcc for them. :)
 
here, his fan boys defending him go figure, **** it I'm going with Toyz in the box....

Yup, same thing happened to me a year ago. He would never answer my pm's, but when i asked in public about it, his fanboys attacked me, because i called him unprofessional. Then 5mins later, im kicked out of the group. All because i wanted to be put on the list for a jacksdo trunks hair piece. What a joke. That guy is super shady.
 
must admit, the AG group isn't quite what I hoped it would be. granted, I've benefited from being a member, selling things almost instantly with no need for eBay (and in some cases Paypal) fees is seriously awesome...but I have seen a lot of questionable nonsense in the group. My first bad impression came from the immediate ban of that guy with autism, some of the admins claimed he clearly posed a scamming threat to buyers based on little more than minor confusion and they defended the ban even though he had multiple people defending him and saying they had good transactions with him...can't quite forget that.

would like to say something fairly off topic that's been on my mind. Am I crazy for wanting to see Premium Color editions of SS Goku, SS Gohan, and Piccolo (disregarding the fact they've all been reissued and will likely continue to be reissued)? I don't mind the manga colors one bit but I also wouldn't mind having updated versions (added bonus, they could paint the skin on Goku and Gohan to match the recent figures). I mainly say this since Vegeta and Trunks seem to have metallic hair...I was quick to hate both of them because of the massive inconsistency they create but if they were to go back and update the regular releases it would solve the inconsistency and give them a chance to improve figures that may be released again anyway (new colored plastic, a few paint apps, updated packaging...doesn't seem like that's too much to ask).
 
So, with the SDCC Goku that I got with the damaged box I got $10 back. Not totally happy with the refund but at least I was able to keep it. I may open this one, and keep the one that I got from BBTS sealed in its box.
 
Technically Goku, Gohan and Piccolo already have premium color editions in their SDCC versions, so I doubt those will happen. Premium will likely be used to reissue the older web exclusive figures.

I like the sound of that, but I would rather they go back and just make a proper 2.0 type of figure of the initial releases. Like giving them proper KNEE CAPS for starters. Other slight updates to the sculpts, pretty much everything you mentioned aside from them being just more vibrant repaints like the 'new' vegeta and trunks that are coming.
 
I dont get the want for the Krillin/Trunks type knee joint, to me both styles do a bad job at hiding the joint, but at least Gokus is perfect while standing.

The pros outweigh the cons for me with those segmented joints. Krillins work a bit better when bent (not much), but Gokus has no visible seam when straight. Maybe its just me because most of my figures are in standing poses apart from a few dynamic fighting sets.
 
I wouldn't mind modified Goku legs to get something different but I'm fine with the legs they've been using, and I can't see them going out of their way to make new legs.
 
Tien, Tall long haired Trunks (or if he's not happening, gotenks, or goten+trunks), kid Buu, pc SSJ3 Goku and Majin Vegeta, and I'll consider any battle damaged releases. And I dont expect to ever get a proper og dbz goku release.

Other than those five + battle damaged stuff – having to say I don't know how DBS will effect this – I'm pretty much done collecting these when I get awakening goku, ultimate gohan and pc vegeta. I've decided I'm gonna bail on nonlead chars.

Again, only question remains whether DBS will make me want beerus or something.
