Dammit! This is not cause for celebration. I said I wasn't going to buy any. Then I go out and purchase the DX Creatures Ohzaru Vegeta. Then I tell myself that's fine, I just need to chill on the purchases for a while. What do I do next? Pre-order the SSJ Legend of Saiyan DX Vegeta. I should probably start looking around for some twelve step programs.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

THATS RIGHT!!! YOUR IN JAPAN YOU HAVE DIRECT ACESS TO THE LEGEND OF SAIYAN MODELS! DAMN!

Hey, VxG<3er could you go and get 2 sets of Legend of Saiyan DX 3? I'll pay you for you to post them to me right now!

By the way VxG<3er, can we see in person pics of the Legend of Saiyan DX 3 models from your camera? Just like a front and back shot? That would tide me over until they arrive.... lol.\

And VxG<3er, just go out and grab Legend of Saiyan Ohzaru Vegeta, he's like a mini better coloured version of the DX model! If you can't find creatures Ohzaru, I'd definitely suggest you get that one!
Otaku at heart.

As much as I would love to do that for you I already have too many people asking me to get figures for them!! haha As you can imagine right. :) Although I guess I could add in one more person. I would like a few dollars extra for my efforts as you understand! ;) I'm going to the post office tomorrow to find out postage prices from Japan so send me a PM with what you are wanting and I will get back to you tomorrow when I know how much it will cost for shipping. We'll see what we can do right.
Hmmmmm pics ok will take now.

Yeah I saw today the Legend of Saiyan Vegeta Oozaru but it's not exactly what I want. I will probably end up getting him though because I am only really interested in collecting Vegeta and to a lesser extent Trunks (future Trunks in particular) figures.

I agree in terms of the Vegeta figure but the Trunks is actually really good. Perhaps my photography skills do not do them justice?

Actually that is exactly the reason they don't look as good. Due to the lack of professional lighting in my room right now and my less than awesome camera.

I just bought these three figures.
(Not my photos)

Image
This is the original version of this figure.
There’s a Neo version which is more detailed and a bit better sculpted.
I plan to get both, normally I wouldn’t buy figures with the exact same pose but I’m a sucker for anything depicting Goku interacting with his family.
Image
Image
This is a really cool figure, I think it’s the only figure made of Vegeta just about to transform? If there's any more, let me know, I'd be interested in buying them.

I’ve always liked Megahouse figures; it’s refreshing to see them sculpt figures depicting scenes from the anime/manga instead of the typical standing with arms crossed poses other manufacturers pump out – though I do like some of them too.

I’ll take some pictures of these when they get delivered.

I know the 2 DX figures cost 2300 for the 2 which is £18 / $27 I don't know about the rest.
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

One question though. How tall are the smaller Legend of Saiyan series figures?
Personally I prefer the Los model :P
They're 10cm maximum, ranging in and between 6-10cm.

I'm also wondering will they make DX versions of every single character as seen in the small Legend of Saiyan lines? They've made all of line one, and included King Vegeta from line 2 and Bardock from line 3. But I'm unsure if this will extend to every single character since they can only stick to the "Father-Son motif" before they need to start making the more obscure characters.
It's very costly to make thirty figures with the Jaw-dropping detail of the DX figures, so I bet we'll only get main characters.
That may be, but then why would they release a King Vegeta DX? He's barely even in the story and yet he got a large scale figure, so that's where my curiosity stems from.

It's because of the name, they are called Legend of Saiyan Genealogy, and genealogy is something to do with family. So Father and Son makes sense and Vegeta is a main character, so they need his father.

Is it just me (or possibly your lighting), but do the LoS DX Trunks and Vegeta look a little...orange? Specifically their hair.

Yeah, they do. That's why I said I'll wait until I see more pictures of it from other sources before I buy.

In some of the stock pictures they hair normal SSJ hair. Maybe the photos are just off or the figures are reaaallly off.

Indeed, I'm not bashing Ve's pics or anything, I just want to see if the figures are all like that before I go and buy 2 sets of them. Lol May limit myself to one AND wait for Angolz to get it (which will be 3 weeks from now).

For the first release the paint and everything were spot on.
For the second, the shading and paint were a tad flawed but still ok.
But for release 3 the figures seem off to me , I'm seeing a general decline in quality so hopefully this isn't widespread.

Yeah, exactly. Is it just this (DX) line specifically or are the mini LoS figures slightly declining in quality also? I don't have them, but since you brought up the point, I am a little curious. I honestly am very excited about these two figures in particular, and I hope they do look better in real life.
Oh and, if this is clogging up the thread, I think it would be better to move it to Mike's toy releases thread.
