Tamashii will hold a vote based on Dragonball FighterZ during the "Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour" online event this weekend, March 6th and 7th.

During the vote, fans will have the opportunity to pick a character from the roster to get made. The choices are: Kid Goku (GT), Kid Buu, Janemba, Videl, Baby Vegeta and Kefla.

That in of itself is interesting. Nice choices here, especially Baby Vegeta and Janemba.

But... enhance.

Enhance.

Boom! Final Form Cooler! What a nice tease. Frieza's big brother, finally! I've been waiting a long time for this one.

This is so cool. This toyline is really good. Just getting better and better.

snake5289 · 03-03-2021, 04:28 PM

Cool. Don't collect these (always wanted to though) but that's still one of my favorite designs in the series.

Wow, didn't expect a full reveal and pre-orders this fast! Not that I'm complaining, Cooler looks amazing.

Now that we have this and potentially Janemba on the horizon, can we maybe get Super Android 13 too ?

Barnatoys · 03-04-2021, 01:04 AM

Neeeeeeeeeeed!
Love this guy! Maybe some hope for Bojack and his crew!

Zabuza · 03-04-2021, 05:01 AM

Wow, Coola!

This reveal is exciting for a few reasons:

1.) Well....we are getting Coola himself.

2.) If they are doing the entire "Fighterz" Roster, that means GT Gogeta will also be somewhere down the line;This will also mean....more Gt characters-Super Saiyan 4

3.) This can also be the start of the DBZ Movie lines. I want a Turles soooooo bad. At this rate, one day i guess.

Don't get me wrong I love Cooler he's cool. I just hate that bandai is basically making all there figures "Premium". It sucks that it can't be for others who don't have premium. Lots of my favorite characters are Premium now like: Vegito, Ui Goku, Hit. SMH Bandai

RamenRider · 03-04-2021, 08:44 AM

Full set of pictures from Tamashii's website.

Still amazed by how great this one looks, very much a dream come true figure for me.

Looks amazing. And he'll be proper sized instead of tiny like the Dragon Stars one.

Biggest news is apparently Figuarts Kefla, GT Kid Goku, and Super baby 2 incoming.

And I presume we're going to see SSJ4 Goku down the line now that GT is in play.

IzzyTipsy · 03-04-2021, 10:11 AM

Do you have to pay in full for preorders from Bandai Premium?

IzzyTipsy · 03-04-2021, 10:14 AM

Sad thing is the vote winner will be barely different GT Kid Goku. Japan LOVES Kid Goku.

RamenRider · 03-04-2021, 10:46 AM

I think Janemba has a good chance. I wouldn’t vote for Kid Buu or Videl since those are pretty much guaranteed to happen one day regardless, so it would be either Janemba or Baby Vegeta for me.

Zabuza · 03-04-2021, 11:47 AM

I think it will be Baby Vegeta if Not Kid Goku. That will be the confirmed "First Shot" in the direction of the G.T. line.

ronriii · 03-05-2021, 05:03 AM

I don't collect many DB Figuarts if at all (I only own the re-issued Frieza), but Cooler has always been my childhood favorite so I immediately ordered this figure. Been waiting for him to get made for so long, I even bought his Dragon Stars figure to fill in the void.

JAG2045 · 03-05-2021, 05:45 AM

So with these Bandai Premimum figures are they only available in the US? Or will Bandai make a second version for the rest of the world?

For the US, they are only available via Premium Bandai. Japan I think the same. Not sure how they get it out to other markets, but I believe it's not mass release in whatever other markets do get it.

The only 100% US Premium Bandai one was DB Super Zamasu.

Check your local online retailers that carry Figuarts, even the exclusives get stocked because the interest is high enough.

Around here in Europe, Dragonball Figuarts are very easy to come by, Premium Bandai Exclusives included.

It's really nice to read so many comments of people who like Cooler. He was my favorite as well, and it seems his popularity is quite high. I'd say he's probably the most well-known movie villain after Broly. Maybe he has to share that spot with Janemba though, because people in the west actually got to see Janemba in theaters.

Zabuza · 03-05-2021, 10:29 AM

Just Preodered mine from BBTS. I assume that will sell out sooner rather than later.

I would also love a Metal cooler, Turles and Lord Slug. Bardocks Team would be nice as well. A King Vegeta( Anime) and Young Vegeta( Anime) would be welcomed as.well.

Thanks Tony_Bacala & RamenRider, my LCS managed to get him in stock so locked in my pre-order! Can't wait to get him (I'm also hoping they do Cooler's Armored Squadron & Mecha-Cooler as well)

Yeah, Meta-Cooler is my next "dream" figure now that we have Final Form Cooler

The Armored Squadron would be amazing but I think they are too niché to be released.

So, did this thing ever go live? I haven't run into it yet and looked all over.

Yes, it's here. You have to watch an interactive video of sorts and cast your vote there. It’s rather confusing, especially since they've done this sort of thing in the past before. And much better at that.
