Wow, those are atrocious!
Just when I thought bootleggers were starting to put in a tad bit more effort these days...

Those are legit images. Final product might look slightly worst.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

I know it's not a perfect looking figure, but I don't actually have any really large Dragon Ball figures, so I pre-ordered this yesterday:

Oh yeah I totally agree with you, I`m just saying the final quality won`t be as good as the photos we see right now, it MIGHT be, MSP Goku actually was pretty good minus the dark skin tone, so I remain super optimistic for Vegeta

So, I'm slightly disappointed by something in regards to the Kuririn figure (not that I was planning to get it ASAP though, but still) - it was actually listed on RightStuf, which would make ordering it a lot easier, but already it's listed as 'no longer available for purchase'. Bah! BAH I say. Guess I will have to venture outside of my usual ordering comfort zones to order it later after all.

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!"

Amazon has better prices and free shipping for orders $35 and over. Unless they don't carry something, they're my first resort.

The Kamehameha effect piece looks great so far. I guess it's the D-Arts Mewtwo Shadow Ball, but remolded.
I'm hoping we more figuarts next year since it's the 30th anniversary. Given that Bandai Tamashii Nations stated that the DBZ Figuarts are pretty made for the US market then I guess Broli and SSj4 Goku won't be that far off.

The original Goku was sculpted way before the D-Arts Mewtwo, and the Kamehameha is round with straight beams, whereas Mewtwo's energy ball is flatter and has electricity waves around it.

Oh thanks for the info, my bad. I'm still waiting for Nappa, #17 and #18 to get release. With 2014 being the 30th anniversary, they should give us more stuff. Maybe a Coola S.H FIguart for once would be good too.

Man, each time I see new pics of Figuarts Goku I want him more and more. Why can't it be March already?!

I'm still hoping we will get early DB characters for S.H Figuarts. I can see Kid Goku and Roshi working for figures. Nappa, #17 and #18 need to get release first though.

I really like this figure. The face is more reminiscent of Early Z era than later on.

More BOG (and movies 5 and 6, oddly enough) figures:

I still want to purchase one of these high quality ssjg Goku figures so bad! T_T I really hope listings eventually pop up in the usual places.

They're re-releasing the HG EX gashapon? That would be sweet, because Coola's henchmen are probably the rarest of all DragonBall gashapon.
