What's your most recent Dragonball purchase?

[Snail]

I just got this guy on the mail.... and I'm crying tears of blood right now, because I can't put it together~! Any ideas? T^T

*Picture not mine*

Use hot water on the joints to soften them up a bit.

I have the SSJ version. I literally had to force the pieces together without regard for the figure's condition.

[Geisha]

Banpresto's super big figure size line: It has Goku, SSJ Goku, SSJ Vegetto.
I know there are more but I'm not sure if they are with this line or separate.

All the other characters under the Banpresto line are from different series [HQDX, HSCF, DX etc...]. Only those 3 have been released under the Super Big Size line [as far as I know]. I really hope we get more characters though, Piccolo would look awesome >_<

Whats the problem in putting it together? When I got my vinyls for some of them I had to squeeze the living s*** out of them before they would go into the joints, I'd squeeze the connector really hard, and then sort of wiggle it into the joint while applying enormous pressure to connect the piece. Try jamming it in hard and wiggling it in.

Thank you guys~! I had to wait for my boyfriend to get home and do it for me [these figures are definitely NOT girl friendly T^T]. I seriously thought it was going to break O_O...

And this is why I would've gotten a medicom. Or all three figuarts.

[StarRot]

Alright, just got these in the post.

Capsule Neo Saiyan Returns! and Dragonball Capsule 7, all made by MegaHouse.
Close ups:











And a size comparison – sorry for the blurriness, I don’t have my tripod handy. But I just wanted to show how small these figures are, in case anyone thought they were getting large figures. I'd estimate them to be about 3 - 5 inches.


Oh, yeah. The close ups bring out all the flaws, but really, you don't notice them normally.
(Hope this post isn't too picture heavy!)

I love those figures, Megahouse has some awesome pieces but man, they are hard/expensive to find depending on what series your looking for

[Raithos]

I'm completely happy with my Megahouse SSJ3 Gotenks, still nice pieces. You really went to town on those pictures eh?

There's actually a lot more large scaled vinyls like the regular Future Trunks and Mystic Gohan. I just can't remember the name of the line but they exist!

I really love these figures too, I want to collect them all. Yep, they can be pretty pricey, but worth it.

Hehe, well ... I take so many pictures so that if people want to buy something, they can get a good idea of what they're getting.
That, and I love my new camera. <3

They only thing that annoys me with these figures is the very slight paint issues, but that's easily fixed. It's not such a big issue, considering they're mass produced, however.

[CODii]

Just to clarify. What is the name of the line that Vegeta is from?

[StarRot]

"Capsule Neo Saiyan Returns!"
I got it from this seller, I had a quick look but they seem to have sold out of that particular figure. They might resock it, however.

My latest and in my opinion worst and most useless purchase of all time:

Because all it has inside of it is a bunch of pictures that I already own through the manga.

What exactly were you expecting? It has been well documented what's inside the book.

Thanks for the info. There are lots of cool figures in that line. You guys were right though. They can get pretty high in price. Oh well, as long as I limit myself to at most one figure per paycheck things won't get too out of hand.

[Chibi Gohan]

I have my eye on a few of those megahouse figures...

[TheGreatness25]

Wasn't expecting anything, just don't know why this even exists. I wish they translated the rest of them that might have info like timelines and whatnot. But no, they translate... a bunch of pictures. Meh.

[CODii]

It exists because it contains many images that aren't available unless you happened to own all of the original Weekly Jumps. And even for the images you may have, you certainly don't have them in such high quality. Or even in color for most of them.
I'm still trying to figure out why someone would buy a book that never pretends to be anything other than a collection of illustrations, when all they're going to do is complain about the lack of anything beside pictures.

I have my eye on a few of those megahouse figures...

A few? Heck I did a few quick Ebay searches and think I literally could spend $1000 on the things and still not have all the really cool ones. I love how they recreate a moment from the show as opposed to just presenting a character in a stationary pose. If only they were bigger...Then again, if they cost this much now, imagine how much they would be if they werer in the 6in plus range!

[rereboy]

My latest and in my opinion worst and most useless purchase of all time:

You find a book that collects in color and in high quality (almost) all of the color illustrations that Toriyama did regarding Dragon Ball useless? :epic confusion:

Not to mention that is has info regarding the illustrations and an interview with Toriyama.

[TheGreatness25]

High quality or not... it's a book... of pictures... that I already own for the most part.

I didn't say I was expecting anything out of it. Didn't say that I thought it was going to be something too much more (it's in the title after all), but the rash non-thinking fan just went ahead and bought it. I mean it could be the greatest quality in the world, it could be amazing, but how long am I going to spend going through it? "Ooh nice... ooh nice again... Ooh the detail..." and never open it again.

Come on, jumping all over me over here for giving my opinion on something I bought. lol

They’re totally worth buying. I used to have a lot of them, but I sold them off to put towards my college fees.

That’s exactly why I love this line so much.

I prefer the smaller size – the smaller they are, the more room there is to buy more! =p

You’ve probably seen most of the figures, but just in case, here’s a handy list of (all?) the current figures in that line.

[Raithos]

Megahouse mini figs rawk. 'Little expensive nowadays, but still very nice.
