was going to post a new thread but : sorry to come totally out of the left field here but i was wondering what past and present figures you guys would call value for money keeping in mind i have no interest in kai i was looking at "Djfungshing" figures some time ago and they look pretty damn cool but my concern is if the build quilty is the same now as it was back then and if the colour is consistent and on spec I'm not big on spending huge amounts of money for figures but the ones here http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtop ... 32#p502432

did catch my interest I'm wondering about official and unofficial sets , as i might buy some in the coming months

thanks for your help

I do hope to see S.H Figuarts on Majin Buu soon. I personally love to get a figure for Super Buu 3 (Aka Gohan Buu) since he is my favorite form of Buu.

Oh, that Master Stars looks good. Will there be more characters? I allready have the Bandai Super Big Size, but those are only 2x Goku and 1 Vegetto.

Wow, that got to order stop quick. Are those vinyl figurines like the Super Big Sizes?

The original SH Figuarts Goku rerelease also popped up on ToyArena too, slated for April 30th.

Lol I know, myself and a buddy both ordered 3 and 2 respectively. They're 25cm PVC figures, not soft vinyl or anything. They're a pretty good size and sturdy too

Oh, nice. I missed the HLJ order, though, but BBTS has it up for preorder. I've never used them before, and their shipping's not too bad, do their deliveries come in good shape?

BBTS is excellent in every way possible. I'd go as far as to say they are one of the best online toy/collectible retailers.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask about the legitimacy of DB figures, but here goes, are these two figures authentic figures?

I have another DX Vinyl Soft Figure from Bandai, which is Goku in his snow gear, it's around 23cm which these ones are too (21cm apparently). The packaging's different though.

Thanks.

Well if there was a question of what those were they are the Banpresto Dragon Ball Son Goku DX Vinyl Figure Sets. Roshi is in that set as well. But there are a bunh

The only other KLILYN I saw also didn't have the sticker on them which was weird.

My only beef with it is the other 2 pictures are knockoffs in comparison to what I've seen( I don't own them so i cant confirm)

I assume your inquiry of these two is because they just got put back on US Amazon, yes? :wink:
These have been on my Amazon Wishlist for a while now, and I've been chomping at the bit to buy them, but I was nervous to buy because I noticed that they didn't show the Gold Toei Sticker on the package. (Also the shipping alone on them is higher than I'm used to paying).

I want these, but definitely not worth it if they're knock offs. I have a set of these figures, but it's Goku in the Shu outfit, Oolong with panties on his head, and Pilaf. The packaging on the ones I have now are a bit different. They have the gold sticker and an extra plastic band around the figure for stability of packaging.

My main concern is that the paint job looks a little sloppy on that last Krillin. :think:
I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time, everything is 3D blasphemy.
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up, this is not the way I picture me.
I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this. Is it a dream or a memory?

Does anyone know what is going on with the Ichiban Kuji's and SCultures this time around? I thought they were going to go up for preorder sometime soon but the only one I saw for Buu is already done. Also I have a horrible feeling that Goku SSJ3 is going to cost me an arm and a leg :( If anyone has info pass it on!


EDIT: Nevermind... I dont want any of the Ichiban figures... What happened to that paintjob. The Goku Gohan on the Mech is okay but the rest... Not for me. Waiting on those SCultures!

With the release of Hybrid Grade, several new videos by people who've gotten their hands on them have been uploaded to YouTube.

Hybrid Grade: Super Saiyan 3 Broly

The Broli is farkin' HUGE for a gashapon, at nearly seven inches.

Hybrid Grade: Super Saiyan 3 Gogeta

His pants look a little too dark, and I'm not sure how I feel about the support system used to hold him up. Otherwise, it's great to get another non-canon transformation.
