Thanks to some quick Photoshop work and a picture I just took of my custom battle damaged SS Goku custom figure... I'm going to totally vomit out of excitement! Adrenaline is going to vomit too. I'm going to be sick. In a good way . But I'm still going to repaint him!!! He needs burgundy/maroon and a slight green tint for my preference! This is my excited face:

I used to be a big stickler on how Figuarts should look. The early figures of Gohan, Vegeta, and Trunks had some flaws I couldn't ignore. Outside of scale, they are nailing the looks now. 17, 16, and Broly look incredible. Wish 18's face was a little thinner, but seriously, Broly is spot on, except a lack of trapezius muscles. I think his shoulders and pecs are fine....I mean they just emphasize the massiveness of this guy. It would be worse if he had small shoulders. I think he's so good, that I don't plan on repainting anything. Perfect Christmas/Birthday gift for me.

I think the thing that disappoints me the most about Broli is that he's seeing release before Buu. Seriously, we were one villain away from completing the main 4, and now we got Broli being announced and 16 popping up for probable release...JUST GIVE ME MY (pure) BUU. =P

I am still way too happy. This is ruining my day . I just noticed that Broly appears to come with a different hand than the one I Photoshopped on. I want this figure and I want it now!

It's probably the same hand from the energy blast picture. Come on Bran, you're more observant than that. Get your head back in the game. lol

Lol, you're right, it is that hand. I also made the other forearm too large. Oh well! I was in a hurry to go eat lunch!!! I can't believe I am so excited about this figure! I don't even really like Broly as a character! But these options are pathetic by comparison!!! And the Movie Collection figure is simply not even close to being to scale with anything but (some) Movie Collection figures! I'll still probably go ahead and finish my custom one on the left, but that's only because I mutilated two $20 figures, and I'm not a fan of throwing $40 down the drain! Tamashii/Bandai/Bluefin/whoever knocked Broly out of the ballpark! It's just excellent!

I don't like Broly as a character, he lacks significance in the cannon dragonball series. But that aside, this has to be the greatest rendition of him I've ever seen, not to mention SHFiguarts really hit the nail on the head with his design!
Hopefully this just expands the line into characters like yamcha, tien, and the ginyu force

Bran, you want this more than anyone so far lol and you don't even collect them. We need more 5 inch scaled Figuarts. After the Buu release, even a Metal Cooler would get me giddy.

Well, Broly's proportions are a bit unnatural anyway. The head size seems reasonable to me.
