Not gonna preorder Vegeta yet, because I imagine he'll come out on HLJ, right?
Also what's FigureShop2Go like? I've never seen it before and can't find a review.

Well, they said it's getting a release in the US as well. I'm not sure where you live, but it should still be cheaper to wait for the, apparently non-limited US release, as I think it's going to be set at the standard price, and the Japanese one is more expensive over there even.

Besides, HLJ doesn't do exclusives.

I was going to wait, but I crumbled and bought him.

I'd imagine he'd have extra hands and heads like the others.

yeah SSJ, he'll come with the standard layout of extra hands/ head as all others do.

Lol Raithos, I'd figured that out by now. Heck, he uses pretty much all the accessories at some point on FigureShop2Go anyway (buying my Gohan from there, finally :D). I can see him with cocky, pissed off, and really pissed off expressions, and fists, big bang hands, and standard energy hands.

EDIT: And FigureShop2Go is totally legit?

Hey guys.

I've been eyeing the creature figures for a while now, whats the best way to obtain them?

The only figures i've ever gotten were commercial releases here in the us, so the most impressive thing I own is this:

Also, are these real?

I'm certain the top 2 are bootlegs, but the ss3 broly one looks really nice anyways...

That's pretty cool...does it glow in the dark?

Also, the dragon balls are legit, but they're small (1 3/4 inches in diameter).

Creatures line, hmm Ebay or Mandarake?

The first two links are not real, they're unofficial Chinese resin statues, which have appeal in their own sense. I even like a couple of them (namely the SSJ2 Gohan and SSJ Vegetto). I really like that SSJ3 Broly resin though, looks amazing! Very spot on close to an official item.
I'm not too sure on the 3rd. I think it is, but I know those aren't the real scaled ones, those ones are the tiny ones.

Lemmie rephrase that:

Will the broly ss3 knock off fall apart, or will it still be good? I don't care if it's offcial as long as its sturdy and looks cool!

There are full scale ones?

Haha, nah, but it's that same sickly green...

One of the reasons I love broly his the lime green, so when I saw this...

It's actually a really cool figure. It's articulated, but the joints are really out of the way and hidden well. The paint job is amazing, tons of detail.

It's a big figure too, probably around 6-7 inches tall if not more. Bojack was in the same set.

Thanks, I don't care if the DB are small, it's really cool either way!


Okay, I found this, it's cheaper, but the seller is in hong kong....

I've seen that Movie Collection Broly before, but he wasn't that sickly green...and there was also a blue hair version. Is the sickly green a third variant?

^^ i hate to break this to you guys but.... everything that guy has listed is bootleg for the most part. The luffy / goku crossover set absolutely is. You REALLY need to be careful when purchasing from china , hong kong and the like. Most sellers over there have knock off junk. There are a few exceptions to this rule but....
if possible order directly from japanese sellers.

Well that kind of sucks...but I don't really mind. I don't plan on re-selling these. If they look good enough, I'll be happy.

I didn't order yet, so I'm good.

If the figures are good, I'll order the stuff too.

How can you tell it's bootleg? From the price?
