Yeah that's a touch I didn't like on them either, no that's how they actually look. Banpresto was a little too heavy with the flesh coloured paint in some spots so it makes them look like they have a weird sunburn...
Ah, I think I'll give them a miss, then. While I don't demand ABSOLUTE PERFECTION from every figure I buy, considering the price of these, I can't overlook such a stupid mistake.
I can only hope this is an issue with the first few runs of these figures and that future release of these will eliminate the face problem.
I only wanted to buy the Vegeta, so it's not a big issue.

Wow xane , super jealous of that kinkeshi pack you've got there. I have a pretty extensive collection of dragonball kinkeshis and a few playsets. But I've never seen a pack like that before. If you ever run into any others like it let me know, I'd love to get one. I only collect the flesh colored ones though , they remind me of all the MUSCLE figures I had when I was a little guy.

You're talkin' to the guy that threw out Ichiban Kuji and rare HQDX pieces becuase I didn't like the fact they were used and had a couple scuff marks, lol... I totally get you on the perfection thing. I think the only reason why they will stay is becuase they are "new" and don't look half bad. If I really didn't like them I'd definitely throw them at you for free as long as you paid for shipping, lol.

Got my wildstyles from angolZ today , overall I think they're pretty good. I get what you guys are saying about the somewhat off shading in the facial regions but I don't think it's all that bad. The only beef I really have with the set is the fact that although he's muscular.. Gokou's looking a bit anorexic. Vegetas pretty dope IMO.

The air parcel, right? That's what I chose too since I believe it was only about 50 cents more than the air mail option.

I always choose the cheapest option, stuff always takes 2-3 weeks max.

I got 2 clear versions of SS Goku and SS Trunks from an AMERICAN seller! Couldn't pass that up! They came hours before a LAN event/tournament, that I was hosting, started. They stood guard at my setup. Pretty cool.
Completely off topic but we were watching some DBZ during the LAN as well. Just wanted to share a picture

@ Legendary, nice snags and love the setup
@ DbzWish- nice scroll catches, and I'm glad you found the figure you were looking for.

Cool purchases. I'm happy I skipped out on the Wild Style figures, because they honestly don't look that good. I should get the last set of LoS DX figures sometime this week.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

Man,
Drabaz and
dbzwish your wall scrolls are amazing! I really like them. I love Goku's pose and his shredded gi. If only I could find some like that, and a great size like Drabaz's.

I just got in my Wild Style figures from Angolz. I'm at work so I can't take pictures yet, but I opened up Vegeta and I really like the way he looks. My only complaint is that his neck is very pink. It looks like he has sunburn on his chest lol. I havn't opened up Goku yet, but I'm not really excited about him. These are definitly unique figures.
