Found a larger pic, apparently what I thought was a "5" is actually a "6", so 18 is a June exclusive.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!
Now, 17 better be the one after this.
And yes KPman this layout still hurts my eyes.
Still waiting for analternate style.

Who wants to bet #17 will be the next Goku, since tamashii knows anyone who buys #18 will want the two, and that makes him a guaranteed sale...

Oh, and interestingly, I notice Lucario is down as a figuarts release; does this mean d-arts is no longer a thing? Would explain why the mario thing was tagged as figuarts too.

Awesome! Hopefully 17 (and one day 16...fingers crossed) will follow soon. Honestly, with them having covered so much of the Cell saga now they might as well finish it.
It's GREAT to see more villains being released (or semi-villain in 18's case) - I was worrying about future villain releases after Cell's seemingly tardy sales (god knows why... he's still my favorite figuarts anyway!)

Imo the androids were more likeable than cell, especially after seeing Trunks future; they really could have destroyed everything, and when Trunks learned they were even more powerful than his times, you really wondered how they would win, but then Cell appeared and it turned into hide and seek lol. As bad*** as cell was, he was really just a thief with too much frieza in him 
The androids will definitely be fighting Trunks in my display, theres nothing else for it!

Trunks vs 17 and 18 would indeed look badass! I think I need a bigger shelf though lol! - I have too many doubles and need to start having separate displays for them....
Honestly... when I started out with only Cell last year I thought to myself "ah, he's only 6" tall - he won't take up any space" Then I got bitten by the bug....with my DBZ collection now numbering 17 space is starting to become a serious issue haha! These figures are so addictive....

Even if they take their time with 17 we could still pose 18 with krillin which isnt that bad, or 18 breaking vegetas arm and using scouter vegetas reg in pain face/ head , still some kool options, but i wanna ser more updates still lol

That's the same scene I wanted. Along with the Krillin kiss face they should also include a Ss Vegeta arm broken face, that would be too awesome. God I hope her announcement doesn't make resellers jack up the price on Trunks even more now.

18 vs vegeta and 17 vs piccolo is an awesome display piece. Still though, I hope we get 17 within 2014. I mean, come on, he's practically finished already.
@Big D you were probly half kidding and even though I'm getting weary if the "Char x sucks" "yeah but char x is cool" "oh and plotpoint y is great" "ugh plot point y is so bad" thing, I will a last time give my defence of Cell and hopefully manage to stay out of this stuff henceforth.
He's ls not a thief and more than a frieza 2.0. He was designed as the ultimate weapon because he's a sentient cell based organism that incorporated the dna of the best fighters around. I also think it's cool Gero had to create him in an imperfect state and grow to reach a point where he could handle absorbing the final pieces of his power. He's not a thief because his maker already sees 17 and 18 as cell's rightful possesions. That's what so sick about it. 17 and 18 were kept alive as nothing but upgrades for Cell, truly showing how freaking horrifying Gero was in his means to reach what he saw as perfection. Cell is the red ribbon's ultimate warfare method, taking it back all the way to how gross the RR's tactics were in DB already. To boot, he's a personified mirror of the main chars' skill, which also harkens back to the wisdom in db and dbz of mastering yourself in order to grow. He's near the literal ebodiment of everything Goku had faced thusfar in his life. (Zod in man of steel reminded me of cell actuall, in terms of being grown to be a weapon essentially.)
If you wanna take up a different anime or other stories against which cell is relatively weak writing, be my guest. But within dbz itself he's easily the most original villain. All other villains have gimmicks and aspects you can pinpoint in other franchises, including the androids as well as buu. But a biological sentient being who was grown to become a living weapon and then consuming two other living beings kept alive for just that purpose? I still can't think of anything else like that which came before it. It doesn't get more evil and twisted than that imo, even for villains outside the db frachise. You can dislike cell and Im fine with that, but his design in terms of story, for db standerds, is pretty damn great...
As I said, I hope ths the last time I got myself into arguing about chars. Above all else everyone appreciate and be enthousiastic for whichever chracter you want. I do love reading why people like characters, even if I like 'm less myself.

I like some of the recent posts like display ideas, not too bad. I need to post a pic of my modest DBZ display.

Excellent news. Pretty sure everyone here is gonna buy 18, lol. But on the flipside, what about 17? Does this mean we're gonna be waiting even longer for him?
I'm still eagerly waiting for Nappa to be released. Don't care what anyone has to say about his size, price, etc. At this point I would buy any DBZ Figuart that's released (except for Figuarts Zero; really have no interest in those, though things can change I guess.) I'd even buy Shenron, despite it's guaranteed high price-tag. And, I kinda wish each character came with a Dragonball, giving you more incentive to "collect them all," lol.

Cell was made up of the cells of the most powerful warriors, so he made sense. I just didn't like how it seemed like a repeat from the Saiyan Saga's fight, but not as interesting. Not that there was anything wrong with that. It made complete sense, because he has that prideful Saiyan DNA, and it makes sense for his to test out his "perfection". I know a lot of people hated his second design and thought it was Toriyama's worst, but I thought it was great! I loved the horror vibe they built up, but when it got to the Cell games, I lost interest in his character. Vegeta and Nappa were way more interesting in the way they would toy with the Z fighters, with the Saibamen. The would just entertain themselves, watching as they murdered them. Then Vegeta sent Nappa to fight them on his own, while he just stood back enjoying the slaughter. He then gave them all a chance to get they're savior, Goku, to help them, while Nappa killed innocents. When Goku returned, they would just stand back and analyze him, and sneered at his "pathetic behavior", as he tended to his friends and son. And well, you guys saw it!
I didn't like how robots created by human scientists were designed to be a threat to Super Saiyans. Frieza was a villain feared by all the supreme gods and even Beerus, the God of Destruction, acknowledged how powerful he was. With just a few percentages of his power, he could casually destroy planets. Goku was able to defeat him. Now, you tell me, any robot on earth could compete with that? I think of that when everyone complains about the "integrity of the Super Saiyan". Even how powerful characters got on earth, nothing could come close to how powerful Frieza was. I really liked their personalities though.
I keep peer pressuring myself to think otherwise, but I still think Boo was a very interesting choice. I thought it was brilliant of Toriyama to design Boo to look so ridiculous, because it's pretty much the worst thing that could happen to people so prideful like Vegeta. That dark carnival-like music that was used for his theme was absolutely disturbing and genius! Props to Bruce Falconer! Being that he was so simplistic, it allowed a lot of interesting character moments for not only the main cast, but random civilians! I love that stuff. It was great seeing a return to that, like in the King Piccolo saga, where criminals were taking advantage of the mayhem and terrorizing others. Although I don't like zombies, it's kind of like that. They're not very interesting characters, but the events that occur because of them are very interesting.

Such a bad joke and yet I lol'ed.
I totally read that in the TFS voices lol.
As for the cell comment, I was kinda joking; I love Cell as a character, especially his personality, but the one thing I remember from my childhood is hearing all the time how powerful the androids would be, and always hoped we would get a showdown between the z fighters and the androids; I actually remember the momentbwhen Trunks killed them as one of my favourite all time moments, up there with the transformations and Vegetas sacrifice.
I guess I always seen Cell as stealing the limelight from the androids, silly I know
but I still loved his storyline.

Wait so if 18 has 2 accessories for krillin, what would 17 come with!? This def is an interesting development.
Goku april, 18 june...
If 17 is this year and the ex isn't a seperate figure (but retool, repaint) at best we'll only get one more character. It seems likely that would be the fan survey winner... I'm inclined to say whoever is the last of 2014 is gonne be on that list.
@Big D ooooh thief in that snse. yeah he iod steal the show quite quickily. We basically got one good fight out of each android (minus 16) and that was kinda it, and the future stuff. Yeah the reckoning of 17 and 18 by future trunks felt sooo good. It's funny how cell could've known all along he'd fail, as the fact that 17 and 18 were killed in his time already meant trunks had returned from the main timeline, ergo survived, ergo won.
Love how dbz gets **** for bad plots and yet it's one of the few that deal with time travel in a somewhat logical, dare I say clever way.
