While this subject is going, I may as well see who can verify the authenticity of these?

So does anyone know how big those magnet action figures are before I buy them.

Also are there any good posable figures of the Androids.

Thanks for the help.

Sorry I linked the image wrong.

I'm kind of the same, I've only just started properly collecting figurines, although I have had several for a few years now.

I just bought 10 of these Bandai minis (different ones of course).

I know I'm kind of taking over from the OP in terms of the figurine inquiries, but can anyone tell me how good the quality of this one is?

I ordered the magnetic figures anyway.

Are there any sites besides Toywiz that you can get DBZ figures on? Also excluding eBay. Especially looking for a site with a large variety.

Hobby Link Japan seems to be good. I have some that I plan to order from there-

Those figurines I bought...

The Goku, Gohan and Vegeta seem a bit iffy now that I have them.

They have no TM stuff embedded onto the figurine, and the Goku's gi has sticker for his symbols, (which he shouldn't even have, considering he's SSJ). Does anyone know what line these are from?

EDIT: Never mind... the outfits come off, and the TM was under them. ^^;

Would Microladies be around the right size to make custom DB Females do you think? Are the DB Hybrids 4 inches or closer to 5?

I think they are 4 inches.

Taken out of context, that would be quite jubilously mirthful.

So, back on topic... uh, figures!

Those look, like, totally awesome...

Okay so I got the Hybrid figures. They're kind of nice, but Vegeta broke apart in two places(the arm, I lost the peg and am trying to recreate it with apoxie) and the weird waist joint that goes up/down.

I'll just have to get the non SS Vegeta and swap heads if I can't fix this one. No really serious problems with Goku, Piccolo, or Cell though all 3 needed their joints modified so I could play with them, very disappointing. Piccolo's legs just fell apart, I had to tighten it but it has a tendancy to twist out when turning it. Cell's arm wasn't tight enough, which was a shame. Goku had a more minor flaw, the shoulders of the clothes didn't quite go up to the body on one side, had to scratch the hole a little bigger and it works a little better now.

Just looking at the top of page 2, I thought I'd look smart by indentifying those figures. Too late.

I had the whole set (and still do somewhere), but as far as all of the ones I've got, they are toward the lower end of the spectrum. The snap-off clothes are a neat idea, I guess... but when they've got them on, it looks a bit too bulky (SSJ Goku and Gohan especially).

Just as an aside, the first four Banpresto Dragonball Creatures figures arrived today (First form Cell, Third form Freeza, Porunga and Piccolo with the egg vomit) and they are downright AMAZING. Cell doesn't quite stand up correctly without using his tail as a counter-balance and Freeza's hands are bent backwards (they don't lay flush with a flat surface), but other than those minor complaints, they are plain brilliant.

Up until this point, my favorite figure was a snap-together, fully-articulated SSJ3 Goku with a halo (Japanese... couldn't even begin to tell you what line he came from). But these four blow him out of the water. If you have a chance to grab these, you should do so. And with Zarbon and Monkey Vegeta coming in March, followed by Dodoria and Cyborg Freeza in June, now is the time to act.
