Wasn't Saiyaman on that old list that Tamashii showed off a few years ago? They "sort of" had been following that list.
Personally, I want Adult Gohan in his purple/blue gi from the early Buu saga. That's the last time Gohan actually looked cool in my opinion.
Keep in mind, they can go either way with this. If they do SSJ Gohan in his Saiyaman-outfit, they can re-use some parts from SSJ Trunks such as the arms (with a molded watch if they choose to include that), lower body, etc. If they do the purple/blue outfit, then you could be seeing re-uses of SWA Goku's arms, hip-piece, etc.
I'll be surprised if they do a battle-damage SSJ2 Teen Gohan from the final scenes of the Cell Saga. Mostly because Tamashii likes to follow their "pairs" pattern of grouping releases together with related characters (like Beerus with Whis, and the new SSJ Trunks with the upcoming SSJ Vegeta). If they DO end up doing SSJ2 Teen Gohan 2.0, it's likely we might see a new Cell 2.0 or a new Goku 2.0 to go with it.
I'm pretty optimistic about this figure. They need a strong release to follow up SSJ Vegeta. I was personally hoping we'd see SSJ4 Goku or SSJ3 Goku 2.0 (completely new mold) but I guess we have to wait for that.
Good catch, Bardoon. It reminded me to look at the poll. I still believe this was the original plan for Tamashii Nations before Resurrection F/Super was announced/released.
I'm not so sure about Tamashii Nation re-using Super Saiyan Trunks' parts. I think it would be easier but Gohan would be noticeably shorter compared to Ultimate Gohan.
I agree about the pairing pattern so I'm thinking a Premium Color Perfect Cell will be followed shortly after Super Saiyan Gohan if it's the Cell Saga design. I would prefer a Cell 2.0 of course but I don't see it happening. Possibly a Semi-Perfect Cell at Tamashii Nations 2016 isn't out of the question. He would pair really well with Super (Saiyan) Vegeta.
I'm very optimistic about this figure. I highly doubt it will be anything Dragon Ball Super related. I still have the mindset that it will be an "iconic" Gohan design and there's very few choices. Hopefully Super Saiyan 4 Goku is going through some upgrades. As spectacular as it looked, I would like for them to have upgraded something about it rather than knowing they've been purposely holding it back from release if the prototype is ready for mass production. Super Saiyan 3 Goku 2.0 would be great but I'm not so sure we'll get it. It's another Goku release so the possibility of it is quite high.
