>>11115778Probably the only face I'll ever have on him.
>>11115778Finally bit the bullet and ordered this Bejita. Feel like he's to important to miss even with his flaws. Don't see a new version of this guy coming out anytime soon either. Still kinda wild this line could be ending soon if Bandai loses the rights to Capsule. Kinda funny to think a future with Figma Goku is possible.
Can't wait to get Goten and Trunks prototypes then for rights issues to permanently end the line.
>>11115778Ok he doesn't look bad here either with the regular arms attached to him. Those promo shots are absolute trash.
>>11115788>Still kinda wild this line could be ending soon if Bandai loses the rights to CapsuleTo be fair, they have gone through pretty much the entirety of Z minus a few missing releases here and there like Kid Buu and Semi Perfect Cell. But other than that what really is there left to do other than random jobbers like Cui. Sure they have Dragon Ball, but that didn't seem to sell well, and the GT stuff seems to be ok, but that's a limited well they can tap from. I don't want to keep buying slight upgrades forever, I'm pretty happy with my collection. If a new company were to get the license the figures would have to be fucking amazing for me to purge my SHFs and jump into a new line.
If the line ends without Kid Buu or an updated Perfect Cell I'm gonna be pissed. Don't. Make. Me. Angry...
>>11115839Might as well get your anger management classes booked early because I have some bad news for you.
>>11115839I mean, they'd probably continue having relations for toy production, as long as CC greenlits everything.iirc the main issue was milking the IP dry like Disney does with their acquisitions.
>>11115839Daima Buu is getting priority.
>>11115839they will almost positively work something outbandai may just lose its exclusivity, which would not be a bad thing by any stretch for consumers
>>11115875CEO of CC hates Bandai so I'm not seeing anything working out.
>>11115904It really comes down to Toriyama's family. Ultimately they are going to have the final say with what happens. Do they care about his friendship with that guy or do they care about money?
>>11115904Then we'll be subject to our third-party overlords.
>DBZ Figuarts may be coming to an endFINALLY, fuck you faggots and your homoerotic hair metal wrestlers.
>>11115925When the dust settles we'll be back in our new and stronger form (a different company).
>>11115908I don't think the Toriyama family needs money.
>>11115921If you ask me they do to many reissue when they could easily do re paints for other sagas. Isn't it weird we don't have a Kami symbol Goku? Could just do that instead of reissuing SROE for the 3rd time. They also have all the parts for a boye shirt ssj namek Goku and just don't fucking do it. I don't get it.
>>11115778nice torso you got there bejita long ass arm freak
full power frieza shipping soon
I was watching Saiyan Saga clips. I notice he has the skirt armor when he arrives to Earth and he fights Goku without it. When does he lose the skirt?
>>11116426When Goku wins the Kamehameha vs Galick Gun beam struggle. He loses the skirt and one of his shoulder pads get blown off.
Anyone else use detolfs for their displays? I got some cheap acrylic stands but i'm still not happy with how it looks. May have to get a Billy instead
>>11116444Only for scales. Had the SHF on shelves.I'm putting them in a wide billy with glass doors after I've moved,.
>>11116444Got two of them a few years ago. Was very happy at first but grew to somewhat dislike them over time.
>>11116444Not really a fan cause of the vertical space wasted when it comes to smaller items. Ideally you want something wider and a bit shorter for figuarts.
>>11116444Which Bejita is that? His face looks so weird.
>>11116509GPSlot on ebay for the cape>>11116589Scouter Vegeta 2.0 with a Recustom head
>>11116444That Turles should be the centerpiece, god damn. Even the cape is well posed lmao.
>>11116456Agreed, also I can't fit Porunga in there which really sucks. >>11116509this guy knows >>11116593>>11116687Haha may have to do that, he is a 10/10 figure
anyone else preorder BD SSJ2 Goku? >And now want to an hero?
>>11115839Dr. Banner, I suggest you grab the Tonsen Kid Buu to reduce your potential of hulking out by half. No way Bandai's is coming with all that shit, anyway.>>11116456I use the apex two tier staircase risers sized for deoltfs for nearly all my 1/12-1/10 figures to maximize the space.>http://smalljoes.com/cgi-bin/pgen.cgi?Stage=10&CatId=99&Item=APEXSTAND
>>11116767face and head look better than df's except for that one and even then I got some conversion pegs if the heads look shitty in person
>>11116767ah, it's the much coveted goku psychopath face
How likely am I to get a Bojack movie SS2 Gohan? Can I headswap Krillin? What about for Figure Rise Standard?
>>11116814I honestly have no idea. But I wouldn't imagine we'd get it soon. They need to do SSJ2 Gohan 3.0 first and that hasn't even been teased yet. Maybe this could be EE for like NYCC 2026
>>11116814I've seen people use a SSJ2 SHF Gohan head on the SSJ3 Goku Evolve figure to make a Bojack custom.Just like how people use the Vegeta Evolve figure with the recent SHF Gohan to make Saiyan Armor Gohan.
>>11116593Every time I want to buy something from the US on Ebay.Small <100g item, 50 burgerbucks.Would've cost a tenner from Japan.>>11116767Goku's gonna give it to ya
I wanna make a Time Chamber custom. Which SSJ Goku heads fit on Trunk's body?
>>11116862None because he uses the big ball.You'll have to get creative with blu tac, hollow out a Goku head or replace the joint.
>>11116843Would you happen to have any pics? I'm pretty desperate, this and SS Broly from Super are probably my favorite DB designs everWouldn't mind seeing the Saiyan armor one either
>>11116831What characters have been teased btw?
>>11116877https://youtu.be/coGiBbp-kiQ?si=EuI436u9qVNofEGc
>>11116896Thanks manIt doesn't look great but it works at least. Might look into it.I wonder if anyone has experimented with figure rise standard headswaps..
>>11116862Buy a budget SS Goku and swap the neck pegs.
>>11116878daima shit
>>11116865Thanks for the heads up. I was about to get a Full Power Goku because i thought you could just pop on the head. I'm still messing around with my display but I'll probably do blu tack and one of my LSSJ heads till then.
>>11116901I didn't think of that. Gonna do it when Full Power Goku makes it's way to Target or when it becomes retail price on Amazon again.
so the blackholetoys super saiyan 4 goku and xeno goku just shipped out, I got the xeno one and so far pretty good for 50$ but the one thing that really bugs me is the skirt is hard plastic so extending the legs further will be hard to do, also not sure why DF's name is on the box since they didnt bother using their mold that had him taller but whatever. wouldnt recommend the BHT GT SSJ4 goku since he looks far cheaper than the official one and with DF also releasing theirs soon that includes super saiyan gt goku heads BHT's GT Goku option seems less worth it unless you're using the mold for customs which in that case buy it as it includes blank faces.
>>11116767>>11116769>>11116770>>11116922>>>11103117
there are a lot of 3P for dragon ball but only 3 are actually good
why this fucking line cant give us a new 3.0 goku and start selling good set effect kits?
>>11116943Because they don't have too because the line sells regardless.
>>11116943The same reason they can't give us a 2.0 Luffy.
>>11116956Isn't GOONfy already on a 3.0 body?
>>11116956Onigashima Luffy is barely a year old. We've had the 2.0 Goku body for almost a decade now
>>11116961>>11116964His leg range is dogshit.
>>111169673.0s do be like that
>>11116961Its a figure made by a different design team. There is no 2.0 3.0 with them, they just sat down and made a Luffy.
>>11116973Where are the credits? I don't doubt you btw. I actually have no fucking idea who sculpts this stuff and would like to know.
>>11116975This guy is the dragon ball lead, he shows up for interviews on the dragon ball website and was at SDCC. He only does dragon ball so the lead of OP is someone else by default.
>>11116983Is he actually sculpting this stuff?
>>11116970No, it's the knees.
>>11117000Like Vegeta's legs, there's a block in them you can cut off.Dunno why Bandai likes adding them.
>>11117019I don't think it gives him good leg range when you do. Just alright.And also it's still ugly. He needs some double joints.
>>11117019Fun fact is that shitty block they threw on the back of the Raid on Onigashima Luffy's pants was supposed to be able to fold back like it does on the Romance Dawn version but with Bandai being retards they never bothered to correct the issue, even on the reissues.
>>11117094I wonder if it'll be fixed on reissue #2 in January (I think).
>>11116961Yes, luffy already got 3 different figures and seem the last one fixed the issues of the shitty legs
>>11117188It didn't really.It fixed the non-functional shorts hinge flap that they intended to have working in the first place but somehow didn't.His leg range is still 90 degrees max and that's garbage. Especially for a character as lanky as that.
Can someone give me a quick rundown on why some anons are saying the line is coming to an end?
>>11117229Realistic reason:Dry period of releases, more limited releases, higher costs, focus shifting to plamo-lines.The actual reason:It's 4chan.
>>11117229There's an on going fight for the Dragon Ball rights between CC and Shueisha. People seem to think there's going to be a shake up if CC wins.
>>11117229there are like 2hype characters per year and we got a lot of low quality figures latelythe new company that will use the Dragonball IP does not like bandai at all
>>11117229Ignore >>11117233See >>11117282Bandai is also hated by alot of the CC higher ups so it really isn't looking good because CC has a pretty good chance of winning.
>>11117303Oh good maybe a good company like Jada can finally make good 1/12 six inch scale figures.
Who's CC
>>11117307>Jada>good DB figureslol
>>11117323rl Capsule Corp made by Toriyama's bestie to protect Dragonball.
>>11117331What kind of actual rights do they have? Did Toriyama grant them any particular privileges to the IP?
>>11117371Toriyama was planning to leave and pull dragon ball rights away from shueisha as his studio birdstudios owned the rights to it aswell, my guess is CC Tokyo was supposed to be a replacement for shueisha's dragon ball room.
>>11117378Unfortunately if they don't have any contracts in place then I don't see how they'll have any power. Verbal agreements mean nothing.
>>11117434His family is involved with the situation now.If he wasn't half senile I'd expect him to talk about the situation to his family, especially since it's probably the most significant income they get.
I would be sad to see this line dead, but then again it means no more fucking P-Bandai releases that I have to buy second hand because they refuse to ship to my country
>>11117488But then realistically, who'd continue this deep?Can't see figma or revoltech doing it.Mafex, maybe, judging from their Star Wars/Marvel/DC. They do as many variations of characters like Bandai does with Goku and Vegeta.There's always nendoroid! Everything can get a fucking nendoroid.
>>11116814from bandai? lmao neverenjoy another 1 billion shitty gokus you love
>>11117506A revoltech Goku would be pretty good, though.
>>11117506>mafexif you think bandai is slow you have no idea, medicom would release 4 characters a year each of them with a delay of 2 monthsthe only other company that would keep up the output bandai has is hasbro and that is probably a worse outcome than there being no DB figures at all
>>11117488I don't think CC can just yank it from Bandai just like that, they'd have to honor the existing contract and let it lapse then not renew. Who knows how many years they'll still have it for in this hypothetical scenario.
>>11117520Why are these kinds of talks happening now? Did something happen that is making this a genuine concern?
>>11117515I don't have any modern Revoltechs, I kinda quit the line around the last EVA movie.Thought people hated the ratcheted joints?Had no issue with them on the mechs, but I've replaced them with hobby base joints on a couple of human characters.
Bojack
>>11117520It’s all very speculative anyway and no doubt to be an ongoing case for a while. Bandai seems caught in the middle if anything and until that resolves they most likely simply retain the right to produce these.
>>11117521Toriyama died.
>>11117544Sure but Bandai's just been chugging along far as I'm aware, so why is this a concern right this moment, is my question.
>>11117546The future!
I don't want DB SHF to stop, but I do want Bandai to be forced to shape up and stop fucking around.
>>11117506>>11117515>>11117522i really want to see this kit asap
>>11117579what a fag
Tonsen just snubbed a bunch of chink stores on their Future Trunks stock, I know because Figure Model Store 02 just refunded me and said so.
>>11117612This is why I don't trust POing 3rd party.
>>11117554People already explained it, there's a dispute for the rights between CC and Shueisha. The people at CC don't like Bandai so if they win they might not want to continue working with Bandai once the current arrangement expires.
>>11117631>The people at CC don't like BandaiIs there a reason for this published? "Don't like" seems strong despite the fact that Bandai has been working on these for more than a decade while Toriyama was around and he never seemed to have had an issue.
>>11117640Nigga do you not know how petty the Japs can be about personal squabbles? Essentially, from my admittedly limited understanding, the EIC of Dragon Ball left Shueisha around a year or so ago due to behind the scenes fuckery. Since he was a good friend of Toriyama, Toriyama sided with him and now that he is dead, CC is trying to yoink the rights away from Shueisha basically out of spite.Japanese copyright law is retarded. Just google it and you will find more info.
>>11117702That can't be right. Japanese thing GOOD. Japanese thing ALWAYS BETTER.
>>11117631Do people seriously believe fucking Shueisha is going to lose in court against a former editor just because he was friends with Toriyama?
>>11117854his buddy toriyama's company bird studio also owns Dragon Ball so its up to the family whether or not CC Tokyo or Shueisha gets entire ownership
>>11117854Have you looked at the state of the world outside?Crazier shit is happening right now.
>>11118290Don't care about tranny Olympics
>>11117702>>11117854>>11117863Weren't there low rumblings that Toriyama was planning on moving DB away from Shuesha and over to CC even before his death anyway? Him dying just threw an even bigger wrench into everything.After hearing about all of this, it made me wonder if Bandai wasn't getting a bit worried about the fate of the DB franchise, which is why they've been dipping their toes into way more Shounen lines than before. They pretty much relied entirely on Dragonball and karate bugmen, as that was the major brunt of the Figuarts lineup. Sure, they had done some smatterings of other stuff, and had dipped into OP and Naruto, but it never seemed like it really took off terribly well for either of them.In the last year or two, it really seems like they're just trying to gobble up any and all Shounen properties they can get their hands on: They've gone back in deeper on OP and Naruto, they've gone in on Bleach, Kaiju no. 8, Chainsaw Man, Demon Slayer, Rurouni Kenshin, and even dipped into stuff like Frieren and Spy x Family.Feels like they're trying to take a lot of their eggs out of the Dragonball basket, to try and find the "next big thing" they think they can hopefully rely on.
anyone have experience commissioning other people to do custom figures and know what to expect regarding pricing? all the ones I see usually keep the pricing private in DMs
>>11118383At least 150
>>11116983I keep emailing bandai to fire him but no, they keep letting this jerk run the line until the ground. Everyone is switching to 3rd party figures now.
>>11118414Did you try calling their manager, Karen?
>>11118334Honestly it's a smart business move no matter the outcome of this rights battle.
>>11117854lose in court? no. lose the graces of toriyama's family by dragging him to court? possibly.
>>11118334Just Tamashii ramping up production as their market continues to grow. The DB line has more releases scheduled in 2024 than ever before so it's not like there's any signs of it slowing down yet.
>>11118602I thought anime merch as a whole was about to start slumping?
Where's Bojack?
Bandai literally going "Fuck you for supporting this line"
>>11118817>Improving figures is bad because i'm an idiot that buys subpar products
>>11118817The lighting is completely different, and the chest still doesn't look like the same color (perhaps better, but naturally the different materials won't be equal).
>>11118825>making people buy figures again because you fucked up the first time for no reasonHow does that boot taste?
>>11118832Yes i agree they fucked up for no reason, which is why it's good they fixed it
>>11118830Yea for a useful comparison you want them physically in the same shot together and not 2 different shots in different lighting edited together.
>>11118853In the first they seem the same? Maybe I'm blind or should go check the review. In the other 2 I really don't remember the original being that shiny.
>>11118832That's your problem for buying it when it first came out
>>11118834I'm glad there's a fixed version, but I wish it was packaged in a way maybe with a kamehameha, but minus the hair effects. Anything to make it a slightly different release so that I don't have to guess that a fig with a flaw gets re-released just better. I don't want to have to pre-order twice, and I don't want to have to figure out if I'm buying an og or re-release if I want.
I literally see no difference between new Buffku and old Buffku. The chest issue is way overblown. It’s still one of the best figures in the line.
another gohan kit from air
>>11119030This sounds like AI generated babble, literally just the same exact sentence on repeat with different wording that doesn't really seem to grasp the fuckin contect of the conversation. But I'll play ball anyway, LSS Goku comes with a fuckin charged Kamehameha effect and Bandai's already selling that other Kamehameha effect kit with the shitty windswept hair head for the god awful budget Full Power Super Saiyan Goku seperately.
>>11119220tbf, kamehameha charging effects are pretty forgettable compared to others.
>>11118817the difference is minimal and i don't have a problem with the original figure
>>11118817It still doesn’t match perfectly for what it’s worth
>>11119307There really isn't any difference
>>11118817It looks like the saturation was turned up on the left. The yellows and the orange on the hair look more saturated, if they were next to each other in the same lighting the hair should look the same like here >>11118853
We won on the chest issue. Say thank you to us complainers. We got Trunks fixed and now Goku. Gohan 3.0 is next.
>>11119220The guy is basically using a lot of words to say he wants to be able to tell the difference between the og and reissue when buying it online. Like with Trunks you can tell with the smaller sticker.
>>11118817For anyone considering using the shirt kit to give goku. Please don't. The plastic quality is shit and mine tore just trying to put it one. Complete waste of money. A shame because they looked really good.
>>11119398I got the left one. Did you heat it up and such?
>>11119398>looked goodbase goku there looks like a kid
>>11119398I thought it was a 2-piece you clicked on for some reason. Welp.Guess you gotta jam the torso in from the top?
>>11119400Yep. I heated it up and removed the arms as shown here >>1111940, but I think because the plastic was soft it simply began to tear from being stretched over the shoulders. I think they made it out of a weak material. Eventually it just split.
>>11119398>>11119408How easy is it to pop the torso and arms off? would you still recommend the torn shirt one?
New reveal tonight or tomorrow...
>>11119668I just found Fourth Form Frieza at Target so itll probably be an updated version of him
>>11119668How do you know that?
>>11119828I'm guessing he's saying that because the last Z reveal was the medical machine on July 19th. So it's been a month. We've had SDCC and DAIMA reveals since then though so nobody really knows.Hopefully Nail and Monster Zarbon can be shown soon so we can wrap up namek.
>>11119838All of the SDCC reveals were just Daima and all of them went up for pre-order already except Gomah. Hopefully its not Gomah.
>>11119858Gomah will be stuck in prototype hell for a while. They aren’t gonna announce a release for a character like that beforw Daima even comes out.
>>11119403and people want base 3.0 goku to be that thick, ugh...
>>11119902base 3.0 goku should be as big as 3.0 super hero gohan
>>11119786nah watch the reveal be something random like Slug or Garlic jr
>>11119909I'd be happy af if lord slug gets announced especially if hes the same hight as the one from before.>>11119902
So is there gonna be a reveal or nah?
I'm giving Bandai ONE MONTH to announce twintails Videl. Otherwise consequences will never be the same.
Only six months until Pan's figure arrives.
>>11120700What will you do with her? i'm going to have to wait a bit longer because i want her to sit on King Cold's lap
Women shouldn't get action figures.
>>11121047I'm not going to leave them sealed.
>>11121047I will make her sit on King Cold's throne
Jakks pacific used to look flawless as a kid. It’s amazing how retarded a child’s brain can be
>>11121953No they didn't. Like most action figures they looked shit to me when I was a child which is why I never wanted any.
>>11121954Sure, anon. Your tastes were just so refined, even as a child. We believe you.
Anyone else got a ultra ego grapegeta?
>>11122046Please don't poke Vegeta with your cigarettes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDQzeewEW2Qhes out
>>11115778I think is in part cuz my expectations were very low, but I'm actually pretty happy with this guys, the faces are great, I do wonder what the thought process was for the neck and arms tho.
If you were gonna kill yourself and you have at least 5k of SHF DBZ would you sell them before or leave instructions on how to do so?
>>11123210What the fuck does it matter?
>>11123210Give them to a kid from your family that you know would appreciate them
>>11123242Funeral costs >>11123284Nah he’d just break them, like he did with Mafex Miles
>>11123346Based kid taking out the trash.
>>11123210Sell before.
I'm in need of some money, do people even care about the SDCC 2011 Special Colored Goku anymore? How much can I get for it now, opened?
>>11123767Only the hardcore collectors would be interested.
>>11123767If it is opened, but with box and not missing anything...probably somewhere between 500 and 1000? He goes for over 1k NIB on ebay, so I'm sure you could get a good chunk of change for it either way.
>>11123009Same. I enjoy him more than most of the other Bejita figures I have.
>>11120700Hopefully King Neptune shows mercy to humanity and sinks the ship holding all of these.
>>11123210If I were to kill myself I'd sell everything off, and splurge it a various orgies
>>11120700Her figure is getting cancelled. No way is this hitting shelves lmao
>>11121953I began to notice when i was like 11 ish give or take a year. But initially, when i was like 7 or 8, they looked perfectIn hindsight most of the sculpts were ass with few exceptions. I recall semi perfect cell being decent. And king cold as well.
>>11122046i have one myself
>>11124431that gohan is bootleg
>>11124400>Schizobabbling about a figure that has already been up for preorderGo back to that dubfuck mulatto Venti's discord server, little faggot. Since anime girls get you throwing fits and screaming like a spastic.
>>11124621Need the lore on this one
>>11119413LOL its just like those old irwin toys, you can remove its gi in half.
>>11124623Britanny Venti goes into a tard rage over loli shit, and atleast a couple of her orbitters are /here/.
>>11124863>Britanny Venti
Where is the new reveal I don’t want Daima news to clog my brain for that long
>>11121993I hated figures whose arms only went up on swivels. I remember being 7 and trying to pose my turtles like in the cartoon and I couldn't so I throw it across the room. Got a gameboy instead and didn't by another action figure until imports in 2k.
>>11125091We still have a week left in the month
>get 3 day vacation for telling pedo to off himself>nothing new or interesting was revealed
>>11125304Site culture, you wouldn't understand
ok dokkan and legends are doing broly right now so i suspect we gonna get a new broly soonish
>lost one of my scouters for CuiI'm gonna deep clean my room, but if I can't find it, it's gonna bug the shit out of me forever.
>>11125655put a panty hose or something like that over a vacuum hose and you should be able to suck it up from where ever it went
>>11125658Trouble is I don't know exactly where it is. He fell over and I guess his scouter popped out. I don't know where since I saw it later. It's either on my floor somewhere or fell into the shelf he was on? Just frustrating all around
>>11125655its okay, just never vacuum your room till you find it.
>>11125661I lost a whole damn Chouiztu
>>11125655It does just barely sit in his head doesn't it? Or at least mine does. Godspeed, Anon.
buffer goku, vegeta and trunks by bht are coming
>>11126047Meh
>>11126047Hell yeah. You'd think the Grade forms would've been made by 3rd parties ages ago.
Is Zarbon and Dodoria worth it?
>>11126047This is a fetish thing isn't it?
>>11121047Perform experiments for the greater good of science, of course.
>>11121953Goku looks alright actually. In a way they look more "animated" (like in-between frames of animation) and charming, something that soulless modern sculpts can never capture.
>>11126047these looks so odd, maybe are the renders making them looks uncanny
>>11126126early prototype render, leg joints arent sculpted in yet
>>11126047based 3rd party giving us ssj retard trunks.
Never posted this, but this is my fix for Vegeta's shoulders. He looks so much better now. The color is just a bit off but not noticable.
we need to talk i guess. this line is dead isn't it?personally I think a major misstep was not making every figure to scale.i'm about to have every frieza form on a shelf and both the 3rd and 4th form are going to look retarded with the others.everyone loves the new buffku (chest piece aside,) but he doesn't scale with the other gokus in the line.dragonstars cell looks better than the figuarts cell.every kid figure and huge krillin is fucking terrible and ruins your display.I spent so much money collecting every form and villain but now its just meh
>>11126248legit this line alway dropped the ball with scales but last year alone its unforgivable with frieza 3form and the 19 and 20 androids sizei dont wanna hear the coping about manga accurate since this fucking line pick and chose what to do
>>11126240seems to look better, I think I would need to look at him side by side with the original to be sure tho, how did you fix him? did you swap shoudlers with oher vegeta?
>>11126248Those pages shouldn't be used for scaling cause they made characters larger to fill white space on the page. We know for sure Dodoria isn't as big as he is here.
>>11126047I love Super Vegeta but these look terrible
>>11126047>Krillin head with TrunksSomeone should make a saiyan saga Krillin and have heads that are compatible with the Cell saga Krillin. Give him a happy face.
>>11126248>>11126271I REALLY don't wanna run defense for Bandai, cuz they do fuck up often, and they're greedy as shit but I think scale is really hard to maintain.Like >>11126282 shows, there's size discrepancies, in the manga and anime, but not only that, toriyama's style straight up changes, some stuff doesn't look good when put against older designs, we all know vegeta straight up grows up, are all vegetas still supposed to be in scale with each other? Also are really old figures supposed to scale also with the newer ones? I prefer they ignore old figures if it makes for a better modern one desu.There's also very small and stubby characters that are not particularly great for a super articulated line, I'm honestly still surprised GT kid goku is as good as he is, and he is still very limited articulation wise.ALL THAT SAID, I'm sure some of the discrepancies come directly from bandai fucking up, size aside, third from frieza didn't really have those tiny legs, that's because they based it on the broly movie design.
>>11126096No. Its source accurate. The trunks >>11126226 and goku at least. I can't remember if vegeta ever bulks up this much. I will probably just get the trunks.
>>11126248I've given up on this in all lines. The SHF Kinnikuman chojin are wildly out of scale. Their Kid Naruto figs are also too big or Kakashii is too small. Marvel Legends is a shitshow. MAFEX shat the bed with their Thor. The Medicos Jojo parts are done in different scales. Just got Storm Fei Long and his head is the same size as the jada. The Buzzmod Demon Slayer line is inaccurate.It seems par for the course at this point. Not a single line seems to be able to consistently put of characters in scale. It fucking sucks.
>>11126390>The Medicos Jojo parts are done in different scalesIsn't it only Part 3 that's smaller than the rest?1/2 are juggernauts to begin with and the other parts are femboys.
>>1112627119 wasn't unreasonable. He's one of those "fat guy" designs like Dodoria and fat Buu but he wasn't as big as those characters, there's shots like this where he's shorter than Gero.
>>11126392Nah. Part 1 figures are huge and out of scale with 2. The Jonathan figure is bigger than Joseph when they are supposed to be the same size. Part 3 is tiny and Part 4 is fractionally bigger, but still small. Part 5, 6, 7 are 8 the only ones done well.At this point, even though I own 25 star crusaders figures I'm ready to replace them all with a new line after 15 years.
>>11126248third form frieza's figure is scaled based on the dragon ball super movieanyway, i don't care that much since he's a ki slinger while 2nd form is a brute
>>11126397yeah but him and gero are fucking midgets compared with the rest of the line, like they are in a completly different scale than 1/12
>>11126344Yeah, everything newer has a purpose and is tied to the manga or movies for size. The line does pretty good with scale besides the kids for the most part. Some stuff is fucked up like Piccolo's size and some stuff just isn't big enough but that's acceptable for King Cold and Burter. Android 16 and First Form Cell are badly done for scale though. Dr Gero and Android 19 were shorter than 17 and 18 so they aren't as bad as you'd think. 3rd Form Frieza doesn't have a very good reference in the manag but he seems like he should be bigger than 2nd form. Then Toriyama retconned it with the Broly movie anyway so that's what the figure is based on. Vegeta is a little tall, and Krillin's heads are huge. GT Goku is pretty good. Base Broly should be a lot slimmer and a bit shorter but they cheaped out. There's lots of little things but Gero and 19 actually have a lot of proof that they should be that short. Start of Android Vegeta saga was a bit shorter than Buu saga so that's where some issues lie in the scaling.
>>11126449
>>11126456
>>11126419bro its not just 3rd formthe scale issues are everywhere
>>11126457>>11126458Yes Golden Frieza sucks too. I want a Golden Frieza so bad but I refuse to open mine. Mistake buying it. Need a remake badly.
>>11126451>Gero and 19 actually have a lot of proof that they should be that shortwe can't even do this iconic scene with dr gero because they made him midget
>>11126475lol
>>11126475>>11126476Yeah I have both of them unopenedlike we'll never get another dr gero figure
>>11126344>third from frieza didn't really have those tiny legsHere's the problem with 3rd form frieza scaling in this community.In the manga, 3rd form only existed for a chapter and never really got a good perspective of the actual scaling like we do with 1st, 2nd, 4th. Toriyama was never really involved with the production of the anime to give proper clarification. The story board artists didn't know for sure how big 3rd form was supposed to be because it was vague in the manga. so they assumed it was the same size as 2nd form and went with it.
>>11126475They are midgets though, and even in the manga his hat goes at Yamcha's eye level to lift him up there. Yamcha needs to be tighter to the body and up higher according to the figure.>>11126476They were very short characters, I don't know what to say. 19 vs Goku in the manga was like him fighting a fat little ball.
>>11126508Gero's hand is as high as the top of his hat here.
>>11126458yeabut i want a new final form frieza anyway
>>11126487Bouncing off your point about him not working with the anime, he did work on Super Broly and that size scene was how big he should be from the man himself. If DB ever got a remake anime they'll go with that height as well cause they actually know now.
>>11126549That's cool and all but where is Bojack?
>>11126549If Frieza can design what his forms will look like, why didn't he just make golden frieza 8 feet tall like his second form?
>>11126549I have no problem with form 3's SHF size.But I still can't help but think about how cool a really large 3rd form Frieza would be based on how good the form 2 was..
>>11126047Vegeta's hair needs to be way spikier and going out to the sides more.
>>11126634I hope a large Semi Perfect Cell ends up as good as form 2.
I resent paying £100 for a 2.0 goku mold, but there were only 5 minutes left of the aliexpress back to school sale so I cracked knowing I was probably never gonna get it cheaper.
more people having issues with Gohan.
>>11126634I don't like the retcon. Especially when he seems big in the manga and the anime and every game makes him as big as second form. And a 3rd form that size would have been crazy. Now he's just some small weird thing that looks odd next to Piccolo.
they should just focus on making sure kid characters like Goten and Kid Trunks have perfect articulation and scaling. No one else in this line matters at this point.
which is the best Goku
>>11126833EE 2024 > The rest
>>11126390Isn't Jada pretty good with this?
>>11126849Wholesome little Jada 1/12 kino?
>>11126833oof, the DF look like south park doing anime.
>>11126047I really hope they're not planning on all of them sharing the same body
>>11126392Part 4 isn't that much bigger than Part 3. Parts 2, 5, and 6 are all pretty consistent around 1/12 but not perfect. Part 1 is very large. 7 and 8 are harder to get a read on because I don't believe there's official heights for those characters. A long time ago I autistically measured my SAS and used some scale calculators using their official heights to get a scale, and couldn't find heights for Johnny or Gappy. In any event, personally I'm not too bothered unless something is egregious, but I suppose what is and isn't egregious depends on the person. I'm pretty happy with most DBZ SHF that I own.
>>11126833Wow DF faces are million times better wtf
>>11127346You must like Revoltech Woody, too.
>>11127352If you don't then your opinion doesn't matter anyway
>>11126833Bandai's 1.0 smile and DFs GT Goku smile both look like shit, DF and Beast Deities are decent, if slightky off, amd the Bandai SDCC Goku faces are perfect.
>>11126833There hasn’t been a single base from Goku figure that has face plates I liked which is bizarre considering they shit out figures of him constantly. It’s sad because Bandai got Bardock and Turles right on their first try.
>>11128498It's kind of funny how there's still no good base Goku. Imagine if they treated the RX-78 the same way and there was still no good kit of it to this day.
>>11126047vegeta’s hair is too fucking big
>>11126549that’s such a dumb retcon. why does he randomly get smaller when he transforms?
>>11128652anondid you not know about his 4th form or what
>>11128662I'm not sure if this is an anime only thing, but i remember the transformation sequence showing 3rd form Frieza cracking open and the final form comming out from inside of it. The sequence from 2 to 3 only showed him growing spikes and his massive head
>>11128662the point of the 4th form is that it’s drastically different from his previous forms. frieza’s transformations were getting bigger and crazier to make you think his final form would be some kind of monster. the 3rd form randomly shrinking in size makes no sense.
>>11128704>the 3rd form randomly shrinking in size makes no sense.It technically does if you consider it like this. Canonically he has trouble controlling his power in his fourth form so he needs a way to compress that power inside of him. The third form being as ugly as turned out is a side effect of him attempting to keep his power contained within him, something which he got a better grasp at with his second form, though it trades horrific physical festures for pure size. With his first form is when he finally grasps enough control to return to something close enough to his original height.May sound a bit shoddy I'll admit but in the end it makes it easier for me to deal with despite also having wanted a third form the same size as second.
>>11128693>>11128704I get your point. I was just stating in a vacuum that Frieza shrinking is not out of place.The choice to make 3rd form smaller was just an after the fact choice by Toriyama. It clashes with DBZ's visuals, but it isn't necessarily "dumb" because it makes no sense.Personally, I don't mind 3rd form being smaller than 2nd form because 2nd form is a brawler while 3rd form is a ki spammer.
>>11129062>I don't mind 3rd form being smaller than 2nd form because 2nd form is a brawler while 3rd form is a ki spammer.That’s stupid as shit.Shrinking Frieza down in his third form helps defeat the point of the final form being small and elegant. And of course that point is immediately destroyed when he roids out so what the fuck I guess
>>11129196>And of course that point is immediately destroyed when he roids out so what the fuck I guessNot at all. When Frieza transforms to his final form, he is still cool, calm, and collected. He is in total control of the fight, and everyone else is hopelessly outclassed. When he goes giganigga, he has totally lost control of the fight, and getting his shit caved in by Goku, and he's desperate to try anything that works. 100% final form's look works for the exact same reason his final form works vs his second and third form. It is completely unexpected to see Frieza having fallen so far to have to rely on something so ugly, brutish, and ape-like, when there was previously elegance and grace to his Final Form.
>>11129196>That’s stupid as shit.not reallyform 2 is for meathead direct physical engagementform 3 shoots pewies. it doesn't need to be big and buffed up>Shrinking Frieza down in his third form helps defeat the point of the final form being small and elegant. tbf i still wouldn't say form 3 being smaller than it used to be in z makes it literally the same thing as form 4
OCtoys is doing a God Vegito variant
>>11129217>with a fucking smartphone
Just made a wish for the next reveal to be a good one. Get ready boys something good is on its way.
This line is unironically dying.
>>11129217There are so many 3rd-party offerings being announced or out right now that we could almost have a general for it like the Transformersfags have.
>>11129244How many 3Ps even are there now? 4? 5?
>>11129244You fucks don’t even have a line for just coomer stuff.You need at least ten companies with at least two of them having monthly releases before you can erect a 3P general.
>>11129241Eh, Cooler and Super Buu can’t be topped anyway especially with Goku and Vegeta #47583816482942.
>>11129253I’m more of a FP Jiren and Ginyu simp.
Janemba when?
>>11129251>>11129251>You fucks don’t even have a line for just coomer stuff.thats a bad thing?
>>11129244I agree but that should come much later, theres only about 5 currently that make entire figures and most of them are just goku and vegeta variants.
>>11129294We would have gotten Videl by now so yes
>>11119413Got mine in today, and it looks great, but mine was very stiff. Even heating it up with a hair dryer didn’t make the plastic super pliable, but I got it on fine with no stress marks, so I wonder what went wrong with yours. It looks good, but because of the stiffness I mentioned, you can’t get him in a Kamehameha pose, which is my biggest drawback.
>>11129247Way more if you include companies making heads like Air and Tigery. It's say 20 at this point easy.
>>11129313Congrats. Glad yours was ok. I complained about mine and the seller agreed to send me a replacement when he gets more in stock. I'm hoping it was just a faulty batch. The half ripped shirt looks great, but this was the one I was really excited about.
We need 3rd parties to start making effects like this. They looked good and were hella cheap. I wish they were still available
>>11129313>can’t get him in a Kamehameha posewhat did you expect when you put hard plastic over joints? Im baffled as to why people bought this in the first place.
>>11129327I buy from a guy who hand makes them on ebay.
>>11129328>Im baffled as to why people bought this in the first place.you might not like it, but it’s not hard to see why people would want it. You might have a very limited thought process, or you're just saying words for the sake of it.
>>11119398Do you know if these stain the figure?
>>11129335please tell me why you buy an action figure and reduce the articulation? you know if you wanted a blue shirt ssj goku, there is a thing called banpresto.
>>11129339Kek, remind me in a year, and I'll tell you. I have two of these 3.0 Gokus, and the one the shirt is on is the first release, so I won’t care if it does anyway.
>>11129231ICARUS CHADS, IS OUR TIME NOW?
>>11129339Think once I put it on mine, it'll never come off anyways. It'll go on the first release while I keep the reissue topless.
>>11129327Absolutely agreed.
>>11129327>They looked good and were hella cheapWith what 3rd party is already asking for a single head, it won't be cheap.
>>11129294s-source of that ahegao 18 face. where do i get these?
>>11129387Unfortunately, yeah, those Obitsu effects in the pic were only $17... makes me want to cry.>>11129403aliexpress you horndog
