yo first off that poster is DOPE,I don't think i've ever seen that full poster artwork! Also I'm loving your Megaman D-arts setup! But wheres sigma my man?! I got the mmzero over break and am in love. That iteration of zero is a personal favorite. I dreamed of a figure as a kid, with only crappy jazwares figures to quell. Thats why i love tamashii. Making dreams reality TMThe proportion issues aren't as bad in person, I agree. I think with proper posing he looks swell. The head needs to be posed down a bit with a little less neck and the shoulders higher and close to the vest like your first pic! I digress. Sick setups all around! PS. the hair is so versatile and fun to pose! and i really am hoping they follow through with a copy X so i can die happy.

On Sigma - I skipped him, because 1. He's too massive for my shelf and 2. He's a statue. I might get him eventually if I magically get more space. I think I'd just display him on his own though. He just doesn't mesh with my displays. Great looking though, but oh well.
I do enjoy Zero. His hair didn't stay in super well at the start but I think it's alright now.
Not everyone likes him, every time I show people the two Zero's and say "these are the same character" they ALWAYS say the X series design is cooler. APPRECIATE TORU NAKAYAMA YOU PUNKS! Lol but I'm glad I own him. He was worth getting.

This pose. Like! You are right. You know more about the figure than I do since I don't own it. I should have said it's visually one of the least satisfying because of his enlarged eyes, scrunched chest, and dull paint job. But that's good his posability makes up for it.

Vegito (Vegeto? Vegetto?) is in. Dynamic posing. POWER! And a couple of Spirit Sword pics. I'm pleased with Vegito, I feel that he lived up to my expectations. I haven't seen any issues with my orange parts or neck area. While it is true that his Super Saiyan hair is somewhat plainer than the rest, I don't really mind it personally. I find it comparable to SS Goku. Trunks and Gohan have white shading, while my Datong Vegeta has different orange shading again so I've already got a bit of variation in style. I'm extremely pleased with his faces, and especially his sword! For some reason that move was always a favourite of mine, and I'm glad they did it justice. Only thing missing is the candy form! Oh wait, there's one other thing - a Buu to fight! butmakeyamchafirst

I guess you could say... *puts on sunglasses* He died in an explosion. SUCK IT METS I hope nobody notices what I forgot in this picture. Exploding Implosion is quite fun! Although the promo pics do a good job of hiding the fact that they are actually hollow at the back. Still look awesome, just not from all 360 degrees.

Alright, I gave those MMX TruForce pics a while, but I don't think any more inspiration is coming, so you may have them now. IN THE YEAR 21XX... Ready stance. Deploying the dash jets. The face really reminded me of X8 somehow. Also note that the stand is mighty and strong. Air shot, typical MMX fare. The only issue with the stand is that you can't freely rotate the claw at the "wrist" so to speak. It has a pair of notches for strength, which means it stays well when it's straight, but it locks out the range of rotation between flat and as depicted here. Just has to be worked around a bit. With blast effect. It's actually yellow on a gradient to orange, but the buster LED is red. The light is kinda funny somehow. It's not bad at all to have it, but I wonder why it's there at the same time. More exciting air shot. I find it interesting that they've done shoulder-pads without the "shoulder-spheres" that traditional X designs feature: Than again this is no "traditional" X. I am really, really pleased with this figure. It's really well designed and also stunningly well made (thanks Sentinel). The balls in the waist work better than expected and the overall articulation is very high standard. A fair amount of accessories are included; thrusters, blasts (I've only shown a piece of a combining effect), a face and a pair of hands. But the real appeal is simply the finish. It's absolutely gorgeous. It does the justice to the design that I had dreamed of when I heard of this project. (Hey, now I remember, this was a Kickstarter. Guess I forgot 'cause it actually delivered.) I would be far from disappointed to see further material from TruForce!

And now, the legend. Power of a pure heart. Striking. He stood no chance. (Not my best pic sadly) Classic shot from Movie 5. (Inaccurate, but this Goku represents all forms of battle damaged Goku alright) The worsening condition of Namek. Good ol' headswaps. This is also mildly inaccurate, but looks pretty sweet. For me, this is not a bad post-Frieza Goku at all. Especially when you pose him properly. (I forgot how cool Figuarts Cell is...) I don't need to say anything. His paint is awesome. His molding is awesome. His hip joints are awesome. It is truly an awe-inspiring release.

I am the true Vegeta, prince of all Saiyans! I had some concerns about this figure, but I'm totally sold now. We'll start with some all-important comparisons: These pictures were taken in natural light. As you can see the greatest hair contrast is with Awakening Goku, though it is also clearly different to the Datong and OG Future Trunks. Getting back to showing off: The cell faceoff. Wearing a normal form head. This looks fantastic. Now some dislike the hair immensely. But personally I feel it works fine with the other figures. Do I like it as much as the other styles of SS hair? No. Does it look out of place in my collection? Also no. A crossed arm piece would have completed this figure. But we have the Final Flash hands as extra already, so there's only so much you get on an expanded rerelease. I'm basically super stoked to finally have a real Cell saga Vegeta. His armour looks fantastic and his hair is just fine to me. The Cell Games team. I can't wait to improve this with the upcoming Armour Trunks! But there are some other problems with this picture... two, in fact. Their names are TIEN AND YAMCHA!

Here's a review/impressions of sorts of the Demoniacal Fit accessories for Tien and Yamcha. No one seems to have discussed it here in great detail, so here it is... It's real good. Tien's sash matches the colour of his pants very well. There's only a barely noticeable seam between it and the belt. Very pleasing. To put it on, you have to take off the left arm and detach the torso. juanjorman demonstrated this on his Instagram so I won't duplicate that. He recommends using hot water to soften the torso before separating; I held mine over the heater. Anyway it didn't break, thankfully! (Thanks Branjita!) As for Yamcha, his hairstyles both look good. At first I was confused that they seemed to fit on the neck somewhat loosely. Then I realised... Those black joints in the box are not spares for the hair joint, but replacement neck pegs. Probably everyone realised this except me, but in case anyone else didn't know, there it is. I only have one Yamcha, and I do plan on using the official hair as well, so I'm not really inclined to put these in! I'm too scared. It's not really a problem though, since even though the heads don't click on tight, they can actually hold most poses easily. They can be angled properly and won't fall off at the drop of a hat. If you have multiple Yamchas, then using their neck peg is obviously the best way to go. There's one for each head so you could even convert two Yamchas. The 23rd Tournament/Tree of Might hair has some cool articulation. For that it has a more obvious joint than the official hair. This is pretty poorly lit (sorry) but hopefully you can see that the custom hairs are a bit darker and shinier than the official. Here's a comparison of the official faces with those designed for the Android saga hair. As you would expect they aren't 100% matches, and the painting is a little lower quality. However, they don't stand out in a display; they look fine next to other official figures. All in all I'm highly satisfied. The product is basically exactly what Demoniacal Fit offered. Really nice quality and it's given me many more display options for my fav humans. I would buy more accessories in the future!

Awesome review!!! Can you copy and paste that post to a new thread and title it something like Demoniacal Fit Tien and Yamcha accessory review?
I'd be tempted to get this if I had any plans of displaying Cell Saga characters. I haven't decided what I'm actually going to open and display. I currently only have Yamcha and Tien displayed, along with Golden Frieza (with my 5 inch scale stuff) and a Datong SS Vegeta. But my thought is that I will only display Saiyan Saga and Namek Saga characters. So I don't have a use for these cool accessories for Yamcha and Tien.

Sure, in the unlicensed section? I just didnt want to clog the DF discussion thread.
I understand about the era specific displays. I know if I could only have one hair for Yamcha, I would choose the original one. Who doesn't love the mega-mullet. But I love options too!
