"What do you call a Vegeta and a Goku? Vegito sounds alright..."

 

[SpringLoaded]

Where are you guys getting this armor business from?

I asked that earlier and got no response whatsoever.

I asked that earlier and got no response whatsoever.

Think it was from twitter I think .

I asked that earlier and got no response whatsoever.

This is why

So now Tamashii posted a hint at a SDCC Ex figure than uses armor and is not a PR figure.. Nappa!!!! I'm still pulling for you!

 

[Ssj3_Vegeta]

So, it wasn't confirmed (or even hinted) to be a DBZ figure, yet people automatically think that it's going to be.

No it was hinted for dbz im pretty sure lol

Also someone said that they seem to be mainly focusing on PR and DBZ so if it's not a PR it'd most likely be a DBZ

The main word being mainly, it's not like they aren't focusing on any other figure lines this SDCC.

The only thing mentioned about armor was this

"Metallic Armor exclusives?" You're getting warm, but not quite

I don't know why someone would take that to mean the DBZ figure would have armor considering neither the question nor response alluded to Dragonball. Metallic Armor was a Power Ranger thing for those not in the know.

We know Tamashii has 8 SDCC exclusives this year. They were hashtaging DBz and MMPR after the Q&A where they also mentioned a "Pack" that will be exclusive.

The pack was mentioned by Tamashii to be a accessory extension.

Thank you, SpringLoaded...I still want my Vegito though...

 

[Jayrod88]

They said it Was Not MMPR!

 

[c2close]

Are they planning on making Oozaru's?

Kidding aside. Just received my shfiguarts vegeta scouter. And pretty much i love the figure but its quite loose on the right leg. But still, liking it. On episode 57 now on Dragon Ball Z. Funny how Zarbon transforms into a frog. :'/

No, that was never said.

Q: Any hints on the #SDCC Power Rangers exclusives?
A: One of them contains a hint to a future release

"Can you describe what this exclusive that comes with a hint is?" It's some sort of pack

"A pack you say, what's in the pack?" Which pack

Again, this pertains to Power Rangers, not DBZ. And they never said it was an accessory pack. It could be a figure pack. All we know is this pack contains a hint to a future PR release.

They said it Was Not MMPR!

What did they say wasn't MMPR, and where? Because I'm posting exact quotes.

That was the end of the Q&A, but here's some "prepared answers" for questions relating to the SDCC exclusives that they didn't get.

"Are the the exclusives from a new or existing license?" Actually one of them is from a popular anime that's not DBZ related

"Metallic Armor exclusives?" You're getting warm, but not quite

"Can you describe what this exclusive that comes with a hint is?" It's some sort of pack

"Does the PR exclusive have some sort of armor or shield?" No...but THAT one is for something else

"Exclusives #?" 3 but 2 more pending final confirm D-Arts Bass and MonsterArts Evo Set on sale first there b4 going to retailers

"A pack you say, what's in the pack?" Which pack
Here is their twitter feed, if you wanna read it there or see what I skipped over.

[Krieges]

I'm looking forward to SDCC Piccolo. He's going to be epic. I'm sticking with that.

I say Vegito, Krieges says anime colored Piccolo and Jayrod88 says Nappa...Start placing your bets, people!
