Does anyone have a link (or pictures) of a decent "ultimated" Gohan? This is a figurine I cannot find, unless it looks crap :( ...

If you're willing to wait, SH Figuarts has one planned.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Plus I prefere figurines, instead of the ones where you can move the arms and legs...

SHF Mystic Gohan looks like they are using Goku's body with Gohan's head. SHF Goku's body feels rather dated compare to the newer S.H Figuarts like SHF Kamen Rider Gaim when it comes to articulation seeing that they are both released at a similar price tag.

The Goku body (and most of the DB Figuarts) desperately needs thigh swivels. You don't get nearly enough on the ball joint at the hip (plus, putting too much stress on the hips can cause them to snap).

Just got confirmation today that my Broli Figuarts that I ordered forever ago has shipped. Would probably be here in less than a week...if it weren't the Christmas season. So no telling when it will actually show up. xD

Bluefin said that they have another Goku figuart plan for next year. It could be SSj4 Goku, but so far we have Vegito and a reissue of Gohan coming out in April/May.

Anyone know a good site to pre-order the Gohan Master Stars Piece? I normally just shop at HobbyLink Japan, but I missed my window to order this one.

Amazon finally has Broly in stock, since they charged me yesterday.

From what I've read on the Henshin Justice forums that SHF SSj Goku is getting another reissue in May.

That Gohan MSP is the first MSP I didn't like, something's off about the hair, it looks too big.

I wonder what SDCC exclusives that they will do this time? I would say SHF Green Hair Broli would be cool but SHF Broli just came out. I personally would like to see manga colors of SHF SSj3 Goku. I think Movie 9 edition of SHF Gohan would be cool but I think that would be too much work for a SDCC exclusive.

Found this guy selling a few older figures... how can I tell if they're legitimate or not? Most of his stuff seems to be, but I can't see the Toei sticker on any of this stuff.

They look legit from the packaging... if they're fake, they're well made fakes. I don't think they're worth that price though, SBC are cheap looking figures, only their arms move, and they fall off easily.
