Mike's Upcoming JPNS Toy Releases Thread

[Metalwario64]

Because if they all -are- like that, well that's a breaking point for a $50 toy for me. I'm paying that much it better be perfect.

It's been like that on every photo I've seen of it on the internet.

[The Time Traveller]

I just saw another review of the figure, it looks like it's not as bad as it is in photographs...

The main reason I want these figures is to make awesome Stop motion videos. Which I haven't done in years.

Has anyone here actually made one of the MG Figurerise toys? Every now and again I open the box to mine, stare longingly at the pile of pieces, then defeatedly put the lid back on the box.

I think it was Bussani who made an MG Goku figure. He made a thread about it.

I'm actually in the process of finishing mine that I glued, puttied, and sanded... I jus started airbrushing it so I'll post pics when I get it done

[Jayp7]

i actually finished airbrushing...i glued, sanded, and puttied all the gaps to make it look better, then i airbrushed and shaded inbetween the folds of the pants. I also painted the base as the 1 star ball...

[Tracer1]

Nice air-brushing job!

[mrzisawesome]

where can I get these? I want them all!!!!!

Two generally great places to buy import DragonBall toys are Hobby Link Japan and angolz.com. Ebay can also be a great resource but you must be EXTREMELY cautious and wary of bootlegs. About 90% of import Dragonball items on ebay are bootlegs. You should be especially careful if you are buying from Hong Kong or China in general. Often you will see auctions with extremely low prices and relatively good looking bootlegs as well. They have gotten extremely good at making bootlegs so that it is hard to tell them from the real products.

For example:

This is an image of the authentic High Spec Coloring Figures Series 5 by Banpresto.



Now this is an image of the bootleg version of those figures. I found this within 30 seconds of searching on ebay and sure enough the seller is located in China and had an opening bid of $0.99.

Hey is Toywiz a reliable site for HSCF?

[Kingdom Heartless]

I've noticed Hobby Link Japan has put up a whole bunch of new figures coming soon. Thing is, they never have pictures.... does anyone know where a good place to find pictures are?

I'd like to see what these figures of Bardock's gang look like.... and this Santa Kame-sennin.

[Snail]

Dragonball World series...

Is there a site that sells these figurines? I haven't any luck on HobbyLink.

[SonGokuGT]

If I ever get married guess what'll be on top of my wedding cake?

[Scarz]

Hey is Toywiz a reliable site for HSCF?

Toywiz is a legit site and they don't sell bootlegs if that's what you mean. The only major problem I have with the site is their prices.

[Drabaz]

Dragonball World series...

Here you go bud:
Angolz.com - Dragon Ball Kai World Collectible Figure Vol. 5 (set of 2)

I've never had any reason to distrust the authenticity of the products on Toywiz. I believe they either have a direct account with the Japanese distributors or they simply purchase the items from available import stores and then mark up the prices.

Series 02



Series 03



This series is meant to be a companion series to the Freeza Force releases by Banpresto. I couldn't find an image of the Kamesennin Santa but I'll keep looking.

Alright, thanks. I ordered this and wanted to make sure its legit, now i know it is.

[DNA]

Series 02



Series 03

I just creamed my pants. If only they were from that other collection, the HG or whatever it's called. Those are the ones I collect. Oh well...

[SuperSaiyan3Goku]

Bardock's whole team, huh?

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

I think that's the first time there's ever been a Toma figure. I might be interested in picking those up.

[MCDaveG]

Damn, that Toma looks really bad. BTW I don't like this series of figures' faces, they look somewhat retarded to me.
Can't shake that feeling off.
