Updated checklist?
dead line
Remember when people thought King Cold would be the same height as Frieza 2?
Looks really good
>>11215598Yeah, it's cool that he's a big dude.I do think he's pretty mediocre as a whole, though. Overpriced, fairly cheap looking. Reuses all the parts that made 2nd form Frieza great and then undercuts them with worse engineering and sculpting where they can't mooch off 2nd form Frieza. So it's basically just a bigger and worse version with an outrageous price tag.Still, it's cool to have a figure of a character that I really never expected to get one, and I kinda want him to have the trio of tall smug lizards to pose together.
>>11215614It's cool, he doesn't have to do anything but stand around and die anticlimactically.
>>11215598I was one of those people, forgive me for doubting you, Bandai-sama.Anyways, it fucking sucks, everyone left and right gets their figs but shops I ordered from are sleeping or smth. No figs for me I guess, but I'm new to this. I heard Europe gets their stuff rather late. I still haven't recieved Frieza.>>11215605Hope baby Trunks head can fit his adult body.
>>11215631That's kinda true, lol.
>>11215598Doe she have 3rd form Freeza shoulder pads?
>>11215715I think he has like the old saiyan shoulderpads we're used to. But don't quote me on that.
>>11215723God I love Final Form Cooler so much.
>>11215724His daddy is proud
>>11215723is wondering why his family are a bunch of jobbers
>>11215723I hope I can pick King Cold up later. I don't really have the opportunity right now, but I got 2nd form Frieza and Final Form Cooler and it would be a shame if I didn't get daddy dearest.
Didn't realize Goku and Gohan ended on the 23rd. Does the NY store still have them or will I have to rely on BBTS?
>>11215755
>>11215508
>>11215772Frost?
>>11215772cool display chris-chan
>>11215776
>>11215787Not my pic, looks like a custom with final form Frieza as the base.
>>11215723I was going to make a pic like that once I get him >>11215763Same, good luck with that anon
>>11215605>metallic ss hairMan, there's always a catch with these things.
>>11215772whats the frieza with the cyborg components added to him called? on the bottom right
>>11215837Mecha Frieza?
Does Super Buu still hold up 5 years later? Do you still consider him one of the best figures in the line?
>rumor has it tonsen is making GotenksOne step closer. I will accept a Tonsen attempt of the iconic fan favorite dynamic duo.
>>11215972I like him so much I bought a 2nd one last year because I saw it loose for $40
>>11215972I would say he got surpassed by others, but he still easily holds his own. He's no 1.0 Final Form Frieza or Perfect Cell. Amazing figure at the time, great now.Also the black magic they did with his head range will always be satisfying.
What is the consensus on this guy? I like the esthetics but articulation seems to be mid.
>>11216008Most people think his legs are too short and small compared to the rest.I think he's also mostly a completionist acquisition. Not something that would be somebody's grail.
>>11216008Have regular zarbon and even if his legs were fixed I still wouldnt buy him. Make frieza 2.0 wtf are you doing bandai
>>11216018>Make frieza 2.0Hell ya.
>>11216008Don't need Zarbon represented twice in a Frieza force display. Everyone besides Frieza's forms is there once and having 2 Zarbons kinda throws it off to me personally.
>>11216008I like Zarbon so of course I want this form too, I'll wait to get him to see if the articulation is good
>>11216008pretty unnecessary figure. i wish they’d stop milking namek and move on to buu saga or at least more cell saga / GT / movie villains.
>>11216156I mean after King Cold, what else is there to do for Cell Saga other than Semi-Perfect Cell, and Perfect Cell?
>>11215776Thank you, checklist-sama
>>11216184new androidsKING KAI please
>>11216018>>11216020Can someone explain this to me like I'm blind (because apparently I am)I see a huge amount of posts saying final form Frieza is extremely outdated and begging for a 2.0, but I just don't see the issue with it. Sure, it doesn't look as good as any of the newer released forms, but I still think it's a perfectly passable figure, unlike Perfect Cell which I don't even think looked all that good back when it was released, let alone now.
>>11216200I don't get the point of this post.You acknowledge it's outdated compared to its other counterparts, but you just don't agree that it's outdated enough. That's not a lack of understanding, it's just a fundamental disagreement in opinion.Fact of the matter is that a 12+ year or so figure being the only option of the most iconic form of one of the most iconic DB villains is silly when we're cranking out shit like Monster Zarbon and probably soon Nail. Especially when every other form of Frieza has a modern figure.Both Perfect Cell and Final Form Frieza need an update.
>>11216184USSJ Trunks. Armour Gohan/Goku. Jacket Goku. If you're including Trunks/Android saga as part of Cell saga, then Yardrat Goku, Badman Vegeta, Driving school Goku/Piccolo, Future Gohan, Young Future Trunks, new 17/18. Throw in fluffy hair Bulma too.
>>11216200All 1.0 have aged, even Frieza. He's the best of the old bunch, but he's still old and Bandai can do better nowadays in terms of engineering and likeness. You just need to look at Full Power and Mecha Frieza for that. None of the existing Final Form Friezas have the same finish as the other forms either. When do you think we need a new Final Form Frieza, then? When will you consider him a deprecated enough release to warrant a renewal? I remember when people said Piccolo didn't really need a 2.0 that much because he still held up well for a 1.0.
>>11216184Semi Perfect CellCell JrSuper Saiyan Grade 3 TrunksSaiyan Armor GokuYardrat GokuSaiyan Armor GohanFuture GohanTeen Trunks2.0s of 16, 17, 18, and Perfect CellBadman Vegeta and Driving Clothes Goku/Piccolo for the memes
>>11216214>but you just don't agree that it's outdated enough>>11216228>When do you think we need a new Final Form Frieza, then? When will you consider him a deprecated enough release to warrant a renewal?It's not that I don't think he needs a 2.0 at all, it's just that this figure in particular seems to be requested far more often than figures that have held up worse, such as the androids, Ultimate Gohan, Vegito, Beerus, and Whis. I just feel like the vocal demand for it is much louder than these other figures despite it still holding up quite well relatively. Just curious if there are some major flaws that I'm overlooking or something.
>>11216233they could get away with a Super Vegeta that was buffer and a white boots SSJ Vegeta
>>11216239>it's just that this figure in particular seems to be requested far more often than figures that have held up worse, such as the androids, Ultimate Gohan, Vegito, Beerus, and Whis.I want all of those. Well, maybe not the Androids. I just don't care for them that much, personally.>I just feel like the vocal demand for it is much louder than these other figures One of the main three Z villains in his main form. Just as desired as Kid Buu and Perfect Cell 2.0 are.>despite it still holding up quite well relatively.This just doesn't mean a lot when relatively still puts it far below all 2.0s except outright duds.>Just curious if there are some major flaws that I'm overlooking or something.It's outdated. The engineering is old, the likeness is considerably lower than basically all post-2020 DB figuarts, it doesn't feel all that good or fun to handle despite the fact that, as a small skinny dude, he should be perfect for fucking around with.But ultimately it boils down to: he is old. He's from 2012 and it shows. We have a new Cui, so obviously people would clamor for a new rendition of Final Form Frieza."He is passable for his age" is not enough for Perfect Cell, and it isn't good enough for Final Form Frieza. Those are two characters that should have the best figures, if anything.
Getting back into the hobby after a few years and missed the boat on Tonsen Trunks. Is the DF version going to be a total shitshow or can they make a decent bootleg of a third-party.
>>11216228It's funny you mention Piccolo because I think Piccolo could still be done better too, but there's a lot of things I'd prioritise over another one.
I wish DF would release their 3.0 UI Goku, because I doubt Bandai will make a new UI Goku anytime soon if ever.
>>11216200picture the mecha frieza without the robot parts and compare it to the regular frieza we've got. night and day
>>11216256Also Full Power Frieza's articulation scheme and sculpt detail (just not as buff)
>>11216008I like Zarbon but his bottom half looks so weird, not so sure about this one yet. >>11216184Can they milk Namek a bit more by reissuing the Ginyu Force. I wouldn't be mad at base Cooler and Salza either
>>11216261to be fair, base cooler isn't namek but movie stuffand yeah i want a base cooler too
>>11216256The regular final form Frieza isn't supposed to be as buff as mecha Frieza anyway. The better chest sculpt on mecha Frieza is really the only directly comparable part.
>>11216268For me, it's the purple parts. It feels weird that of all Frieza and Frieza adjacent figures, final form is the only one with metalic paint in the purple instead of them just being shiny
>>11216256god anyone can look at that and see the final form frieza needs an update
>>11216261One of these years the Ginyu Force will be our EEs and they'll be covered in this disgusting shiny metallic paint they put on all their recolors.
>>11215605Is the jacket a cast-off piece?Also, head compatible with recent 2.0 Trunks?
>>11216246I like df. The heads may not be as good as tonsens, but I also missed out so will be getting this
>>11216296We can go further.>Candy skin
>>11216246DF nowadays is usually just copying tamashii/3rd party with hit or miss QC, this is pretty much just tamashii's trunks without a jacket so if you want a tonsen trunks look for the Bojack movie variant that will release soon.
Late to the party but this is such an upgrade from the Premium Colour Trunks I still have, the sheath strap is a bitch though
>>11216477It's a great figure. Just wish he had more face plates.
>>11216200Besides updated facial expressions, the entire lower half of the figure looks off. The 1.0 diapers was one of the biggest complaints of those figures, though Frieza is not the worst example of those.Also they've come along way as far as muscle definition goes. The detail on 1.0's is much softer.I was content with the FF Frieza reissue but I've been waiting for a new sculpt so I can finally have a Golden Frieza.
>>11216479Yep, especially for his base head.Probably my biggest gripe is how they don't equally share faces when they do multiple heads.>>11216008>What is the consensus on this guy? I like the esthetics but articulation seems to be mid.He seems to have all the articulation he needs but his footprint is pretty small so idk how well he'll balance. guess he can lean on his cape if need be.Great expressions too
>>11216256Nice Anime Heroes Frieza you got there on the right.
>backorder came through after agesYeah, fuck that aftermarket price!
>>11216289Freeza could be posed better. His long tail helps alot with dynamic posing. I actually have alot of fun with him. Just gotta be careful not to get problems paint on his abs from his jewel thing.
Cheelai…
>>11216487>the entire lower half of the figure looks off. The 1.0 diapers was one of the biggest complaints of those figuresYou're not wrong, but it's still something Bandai hit or miss with. The hips/thighs on that very Trunks easily look worse than that Frieza's, though I don't think it's a dealbreaker in either case.
>>11216647I still want her
>>11216008FUCKING LAME, nobodies were fun here and there but god damn the line has really just been Goku Vegeta and every single Namek nobody. They could've given us yet another complete set of Namek balls.
>>11215766Anyone?
>Hobby Genki e-mail>told me King Cold was bigger than they thought>have to change my shipping from DHL to FedEx>they'll cover half and I have to pay the rest>like 3000 yenI paid it, but I wish I could have told them that I don't want to use FedEx? Of all the couriers, FedEx is usually the worst for me.
>>11216008Why do they give us so many expensive version of one-off characters before a good 3.0 vegeta?
>>11216729What's it like being 5'6 irl, anon?
>>112167325’8, thank you
>>11216722BBTS doesn't have it and I *think* the NY store may only have the recent Vegito SSB. eBay/aftermarket may be your best (read: only) option at this point.
>>11216567I've got their space pod as well, but never built the figs they come with.Time Machine's shipping rape though, so just keeping an eye on that locally.
not sure if it's a me issue but chiming in on the final form frieza 1.0 discussion a bit: the heads on mine are weird. they feel like they never quite connect fully and are tenuously held on there, able to slip off at the slightest movement. it doesn't feel nearly as secure as most current figuarts. almost like it's a kitbashed figure
>>11216764
>>11216520
>>11216852I am confused. I don't see anything worth uohing about in that post.
>>11216882
Can they just announce the rest of the Daima, GT and Namek crap already? I would like to know when to start paying attention to this line again.
>>11216921Nail may be coming
>>11216938wow i'm soooo stokedwooooow no this is what i really wanted for yearsalmost as much as gomah
>>11216946Who do you want? personally i really want Yakon. He isn't a popular character but i think he would make for a very fun toy
>>11216976World Tournament Announcer. Old or young version doesnt matter to me
>>11216706My Beerus wants a wife lol
>>11216981Since his only accessory would be the mic, might as well do DB ver + DBZ heads. He'd be PBandai anyways.
>>11216976Just waiting for 2.0 perfect cell tbdesu
>>11217006Based Wife of Destruction enjoyer.
>>11216938I don't really care too much about Nail, but if they give him fun faces and cool stuff maybe I'll get him because I need someone to bully and to make company to King Piccolo and my future lord Slug
>>11217101yeet the baby
>>11216899I would get this fig if it wasn't so out of scale.
>>11217101Why the FUCK would he ruin this with metallic hair?
>>11217124??
>>11216938I want Nail, price depending.
>>11217165$85 P-Bandai exclusive with removable cape and replaceable severed arm accessory
>>11217186>capeor whatever this is. robe/jacket w/e
>>11217187T-shirt
>>11217124>>11217140I'd say it is the only kid figure before GT Goku that was to scale. You should get it
>>11217140>post with other characters out of scale what did he mean with that
kinda want that limited vegeto and i don't even like the character that much it's hard to choose especially when you're new i want em all
>>11217423Literally me I only started collecting at the beginning of the month and I'm trying not to bankrupt myself. I'd say definitely focus on P Bandai releases especially the more niche ones. I'm already priced out of 2nd form Frieza and Final Form Cooler so next month I'm gonna try and snag Mecha Freiza, Metal Cooler and Turles before they just keep going up
Does the EE Vegito have translucent hair or metallic? I've seen people claiming both.
>>11217375I'm sorry you think she's out of scale with your underscaled toys.
>>11215972>>11215996I bought a 2nd one too. (only figure I've done that for other than the $35 dollar SS Vegeta that came out last year). If not the best figure in the line, he is in everyones top 5. looking at Figuarts recent releases I dont see them outdoing that Super Buu either with how their recent figures are going.>>11216200I'm pretty sure it's because they are doing literally every Frieza form, and when you have them all lined up, its a bit silly for his most "standard" appearence to be the most outdated. I'm right there with you though. I'll get the updated one when they come out with it, but theres literally 50 things I'd rather have them do. Perfect Cells 1.0 looking like COMPLETE shit and not having a modern figure is way more homo. when i look at my collection of like 50+ figures(pretty much 90% Z) and there's not a fucking Cell in there its just like wtf is going on. >>11216239>It's not that I don't think he needs a 2.0 at all, it's just that this figure in particular seems to be requested far more often than figures that have held up worse, such as the androids, Ultimate Gohan, Vegito, Beerus, and Whis. Beerus, and Whis are IMO the crowns of the 1.0s. Beerus especially is awesome, and Whis does what you want him for. I'd probably put Frieza behind them. I think Z Broly is a figure that I see people say "holds up fine", but when I look at it, it just looks like complete shit compared to Full Power Broly for example. And apparantly its a loose mess too. Thats another figure that needs a fucking update way more than Frieza.
kong Goku
>>11217423I'm also new but have the opposite problem. The majority of characters I want either have bad figures, and I'm not interested in buying a subpar figure just to tick a character box, or no figure at all. So I'd like to buy more, but I just have to sit here waiting for characters I like to get a figure that actually does them justice.
And Square K's SSJ3 Gotenks kit.
LOL. Someone trying to sell this off as "Tonsen Arttoy Shf Dragon Ball Future Trunks Set B".
>>11217620Those hips do not lie
>>11217606This looks like shit, particularly the hair and chest.
Speaking of Trunks, I'm hoping we get some version of this in toy form. Gohan too.
>>11217705Oh god, sideburns
>>11217375She obviously has to scale with nappa or else is trash.
>>11217595yeah cell getting snubbed for so long is kinda bizarre. a standard release for perfect form and 2nd form P bandai is definitely happening but it's just a matter of when? OG 17/18 being event exclusive was beyond retarded too idk why they're handling the sagas from that era this way
>>11217291Hkw many sleeveless, open, knee-length T-shirts do you know? Shit's a vest or a cardigan.
>>11217606>oily looking hair>base face is a different color from body>absolute trash tier SS hair and faceWhy does this thing even exist? It makes some of Bandai's worst releases look passable.
>>11217773people are desperate for 3.0 goku stuff and that's basically why
>>11217619Good kit, I'm tempted but that Gotenks body is so shit. Hope someone makes a new Gotenks.
>>11216357In case anyone wondering; yes, the jacket is fully cast-off.>https://www.instagram.com/tonsenarttoys/p/DBvM0RiT3pP/?img_index=1
>>11217423I'm getting it because I joined these threads the very day the original P-Bandai Bluegito closed pre-orders. Took forever to finally find a Base Zamasu at a reasonable price, and now I don't need to go to scalpers for this.
I just can't bring myself to order a metallic Bluegito.I'll just wait for a 3.0 Vegito someday never. It's too late to pay out the ass for 2.0s. Especially ones with a weird finish that can be found nowhere else in my collection.
>>11218060>someday neverOCToys is doing a bunch of 3.0 Vegito figures soon so you wont have to wait very long
>>11216184yardrat gokusuper vegetasuper trunkscell jrvest android 18
How do you Anons have Goku and FpF posed? Post some pics so I can steal your ideas.Current setup, but takes too much space.
I'm mindfucked by Bandai and the bootleggers super switching saiyan hair between matte and metallic. Do most collectors just mix them all together? Is there a lore reason we can create?
>>11218237I think they should all be matte and only con exclusives should be metallic/translucent personally.
>>11218240Fully agreed.
>>11218204Frieza is cutting a pizza with his kienzan while Goku is waiting with a serious face
>>11218237All regular SS forms should be matte with shading. God and Blue should be metallic.
I've never used Aliexpress before but I absolutely need this new Tonsen Bojack Trunks. Does anyone have any tips/recommendations for using it?
>>11218282For aliexpress some shops are hit and miss but the ones I regularly use are "figure model store store" "figures collector store" and "modle hobby store", just trust your gut instinct and youll be fine because the scams are really obvious, think something like vegito blue figure for 20$
>>11218237>Is there a lore reason we can create?Metalic is just Ki charging/aura power up
>>11218282Use paypal
>>11218282check review first, most of the sellers pick stuff from others, the best time to buy usually is when the site do sales
>>11218304Power up (left) looks more banana yellow than metallic.
>>11217985Judging from those pics, his SS hair looks more pearl finish like the recent Infinite Latent Armor Trunks.
>>11218304I think metallic is for ssj2 and fluffy is ssj1
>We will continue to explore thisfascinating character!Demoniacal Fit - The coming one -Top Gun- will include three different types interchangeable hair, two sets of interchangeable faces, 7 pairs of interchangeable hands, and aura effect, etc.And more importantly, our product will continue to be sold at a more reasonable and affordable price, as always.
>>11218396Demonical Fit is shameless
>>11218260Kek, that's a good one. I just settled on this, some tweaks needed here and there, but it's compact. I would love a pair of hands cast together like this, but it suffices as is I suppose.
>>11218403I have a bunch of figures posed together like this with fingers interlocked and staring into each other's eyes, but they're all girls who are either canon lesbians or who I headcanon as lesbians. Just saiyan.
>>11218405Just as Goku and Frieza like to do.
>>11216252I think Super Hero Piccolo is pretty good overall, but a more classic looking Piccolo with less annoying shoulders and better ankles would be nice. Preferably four-fingered with manga colors, but I know we'll never get manga accurate hands. The issue is that it's harder for Bandai to bullshit reasons for new Piccolos and drum up demand. We might get another Piccolo out of Daima, but I know that wouldn't be ideal for most people.
>>11218304Pale yellow is the best SSJ color and should be the standard for all first releases. Give us uniformity.
>>11218435>Give us uniformityThis is my main gripe. I wish one of the 3rd party companies would just sell repaints of the existing heads with different finishes so autismos such as myself can choose which style they like best and make them all match.
>>11218396>>11218396DemonicalFit are fucking trash, before they do something completely different they copy Tonsen and put out a worse version of it. They could be finishing their 3.0 SS Goku or making any other character, but no gotta steal from other 3rd parties.
>>11218431We need a younger piccolo. Sharper shoulder pads, rounded neck line, God tier faces like the Goku sdcc exclusives.
To anyone who has the Tonsen Trunks Variant B; what is the difference/purpose between the two SS front bangs?
>>11218489Just to add variety as Trunks' hair changes a lot.
