That's the problem heartless , I feel the double shipping charges (japan to me, me to Australia) may counteract the low prices. I'm going to look into what I can do though to see if it'll be worth it. Let's not clutter up the thread with back and forths about this though. If you'd like more info, message me. Dan I've sent you a response to your question.

I'm just waiting for Hobby Link to start taking pre-orders for that. :P

I've never had a Megahouse set... they look like they're fantastic.

Cell's stance is really chill. He would make a great group picture. If only he were darker.


Ehhhh ?!....King Vegeta looks so small and slender. lol

That's because they were lazy. It looks like they sculpted King Vegeta with the intention of making him into Vegeta as well, and then just hacked away all the excess plastic (The shoulder pads, beard, cape, etc.). lol

Those look AMAZING!!! I'm definitely getting SSJ3 Goku, Casual Goku, SSJSaiyaman Gohan, and Vegeta! On the maybe list goes Piccolo, Freeza and Battle Damaged SSJ Goku. They really F'ed up Cell. The way his face looks makes him look like an old man. And who would ever want a figure of Dr. Gero?

Look at that face on casual Goku. So innocent!

HNNNNG. Lookit them all. Oh my God. That SSJ3 Goku is a thing of beauty ~ And the casual Goku!
(I don't like the Freeza or Cell, though ...)

Lmao in that case sorry. But why? I mean he looks great and all. The best looking Dr. Gero figure I've ever seen...but he's still Dr. Gero. I would have prefered #17.

'cause it's Gero. We don't see many figures of him, good or otherwise. At least #17 has some nice figures already.
I like to collect stuff of the more under represented characters. It's boring when it's always GOKU GOKU GOKU VEGETA GOKU.
If Gero was going to be replaced with another character, it should have been ChiChi or Lunch. Too much of a sausage fest already. Needs more women.

Agreed 100%! But Gero?! lol. There arn't any #17 figures that are the size of the DX figures though, are there? The only #17 figure that comes to mind is the HSCF #17.

I like Gero. Don't judge me! :( :wink: It's probably because I play a lot of RPGs, but the heros are always really young. It gets boring. I want some varity of ages. That's why I tend to like older characters.

I don't think there are any large sized #17 figures, but there are a few nice MegaHouse figures, gashapon and some decent action figures.
