What I'd hope for more than anything is a line of the humans.

I desperately want HQ DX figures of the likes of Kuririn, Yamucha and Tenshinhan.

Well I got mine through Googling it. I warn you, you will not find anything to your liking. The quality will be terrible and the image is mostly inverted for you to read from left to right, so it creates a ton of annoyances like the symbols on Goku's gi appearing on the left side... and inverted lol Now caved in and bought the entire Japanese manga (as seen on the last pages) for uncut goodness and the Vizbigs for Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z for the translations. I have officially spent a small fortune on the DB series.

Not only is that against the rules, but I find it absolutely ridiculous and insulting that you would ask that in a thread about legally purchasing products. I mean, come on.

I love the Majin Vegeta, easily my most favourite DX model, surpassing the SSJ4 Vegeta, Gogeta, and SSJ Trunks/SSJ3 Gotenks models I liked before this. The detail is ridiculous, from the grim smirk on his face, to the black rimmed eyes or the veins bulging out of pretty much every part of flesh on him. The most ridiculous thing is that the paint job is so good the skin actually looks real on the figure; CRAZY detailing on this one. I'm very pleased and impressed by the figure.

A few things came today from Angolz.

HSCF Freeza 2nd and 3rd Form

And these..

A few were a little tricky to put together, but they look really nice once they're assembled. My personal favorite is of Kid Goku and the Pirate Robot. I'll probably look to get more of these figures eventually.

Nice catch Chibi

Ok, here's my brand new Legend of Saiyan 4!!! Amazing! AMAZING! AMAZIIING!!!
The set is beautiful! The Ohzaru figures are the best hands down. SO much detail in these figures its in-sane! I really really like them I personally think this is the best set. Simply becuase of the Ohzaru figures, simply splendid.
The SSJ battle damaged Goku is good, nothing to write home about... same as the Future Gohan. But once you get to the Future Kid Trunks this is where the set shines. The kid Trunks is easily one of the smallest figures in the entire series and Banpresto spared no expense to detail. Even going so far as to include the capsule corp. logo on his shirt. Wonderful attention to detail. That's what I really appreciate, Banpresto actually pays serious attention to detail and makes sure nothing is left out of the figure. Next the Ohzaru Vegeta blew me away. Just simply RIDICULOUS the level of colouring and shading in it. The ripped armor with fur poking through are excellent details. Even the teeth are shaded and well coloured. an INCREDIBLE collectors item. I'm going to order a second set for mint in box purposes becuase it is actually THAT good. And the Ohzaru Bardock is no slouch either, incredible texture and colour on the figure, if you must get any from the series get this set. Simply wonderful.

Ohzaru Vegeta, and Bardock:

Progress so far:

Wow. Just...wow. How many pieces did the Ouzarus come in? I mean, they wouldn't be able to fit in the box fully assembled.

They came in a lot of pieces, and the Ohzaru's are actually a really nice size. You'll see what I mean when you get the set. They came in about 6 pieces, 1 for each limb, torso + bottom half and tail. You really get your bang for your buck with this set. I was so pleased with it I ordered a second. Lol.

One thing that's off though, this set is more of just a "spare parts" set. As additions that couldn't be added to other sets because of the 5 character limit. For example the ohzaru would each go to Vegeta and Bardock respectively. As for Future Trunks and Gohan I don't know? Myabe just using them as filler characters, and I also don't know where battle damaged SSJ Goku came from either in lieu of the others. Still, very nice set. Next up is a set releasing some really obscure saiyans including Tulece and the two phantom saiyans that PoPo uses for a training simulation in the room with the pendulum. We'll also get a nice regular Goku in a good pose, and a Saiyan saga Gohan. The last sell will eb for all you Broly lovers out there, featuring all of his forms plus Bio Broly and Paragus.
I'm interested to see which characters they will release on the DX line after King Vegeta/Vegeta.

Those figures look pretty nice Raithos. The Ohzaru Vegeta model is exactly the same as the Creatures model, only smaller.

One question though. How tall are the smaller Legend of Saiyan series figures?

I purchased the fifth Dragon Ball Viz single release on Friday; that is, those monthly comic book style releases from the early 2000s, at a library book sale for 50 cents.
And I bought a Dead Zone/World's Strongest steelbook for $3 at Best Buy. I saved money, because it was marked as $8.99.

Personally I prefer the Los model :P
They're 10cm maximum, ranging in and between 6-10cm.

I'm also wondering will they make DX versions of every single character as seen in the small Legend of Saiyan lines? They've made all of line one, and included King Vegeta from line 2 and Bardock from line 3. But I'm unsure if this will extend to every single character since they can only stick to the "Father-Son motif" before they need to start making the more obscure characters.

It's very costly to make thirty figures with the Jaw-dropping detail of the DX figures, so I bet we'll only get main characters.

Maybe I should get a few of these LoS figures. Is there any place where I can buy the mini figures individually? Or am I looking at the whole set or nothing?

Yeah I agree with that, I'm just hoping we can at least get a Prince Vegeta at the Los DX scale, but I'm wondering if they won't release it becuase there is already an Ichiban Kuji Prince Vegeta. However I would really like to see him made from the Legend of Saiyan line, and I feel it should have been Prince Vegeta in royal attire made alongside the King Vegeta figure. That would have been am amazing release and still fit the father son motif Banpresto seems to be currently sticking to. There's no news past May about the fate of Legend of Saiyan, so I guess we have to wait and see.

In reference to the humans, I definitely wouldn't mind DX Krillin and Yamcha(long hair). As for Tenshinhan, mehhhhh I never really cared about him, lol.

You USED to be able to get them at Hobby Link Japan, they are really good for single figure purchases. But you really need to stay on top of the releases in order to get them from there since they sell out incredibly fast.
