So, do I get this right? I could buy 4 boxes for $13 each and could end up with 4 of the shenron explosion effect pieces? Yep, or you could end up with 4 vegetas and no shenron pieces lol. It sucks. |

eh, give it a month. Either they'll show up on ebay for slightly above market price, or someone will post a way to pick the correct ones.

I think this is the full collection of them all. I hate to be negative, but if y'all want to waste your money on these ridiculous things, you're more than welcome to. I don't see the appeal. A lot of people on Facebook are going ape over them and I just don't get it.
I just don't get it...

I'm not too fond of them either, maybe just the excitement of something actually being available in a us store

Some people just like the Super-Deformed look, I'm not really into it much myself.

My problem with them isn't even that... there are plenty of better Chibi/Super deformed figures out there. These though... well, Loyal Subjects' first notable wave was of MotU figures, and that really shows here. These look almost like chibi MotU-ized DBZ characters, and while some in the fanbase may love that sort of thing (See: Broly) I feel like the WCF line or Tamashii Buddies are more in line with the spirit of the series.
That said, this is a line slated for the USA, so I can somewhat understand the appeal for those who don't really feel like fighting for stuff from the japanese market, even if several of those lines do exist in the states as well.

Oh god! I just watched the video that gp posted, I did not realize that Shenron was a Build-A-Figure! On top of that only 2 pieces of Shenron PER BOX! Wow... I'm totally not down with that. |

I feel like you might as well get the Mega WCF Shenron if you want something like that. It's a lot simpler.

they had like two big boxes of the DBZ Loyal subjects and another two for the MOTU at walmart. I was going to get some but they rang up 12.99 each and thought it was to expensive for these type of figures. But when i went back a few days later to look for something else and noticed all the boxes were sold out. I honestly think 12.99 is way to much for a mystery figure and these don't really appeal much, they come off as cheapy looking. But saw On instagram pages that people are selling them for ridiculous amounts. Saw Trunks being sold for 200 bucks and a frieza for 50 lol

I'm so tired of chibi figures, they're just ugly imo. I honestly don't even understand the appeal, the Funko POPs are the worst though, they don't even resemble the characters. Why do people want figures with heads that are bigger than their bodies? I'm also super tired of DBZ figures being so expensive, it's ridiculous. Growing up I could go to Walmart, Target, Kmart, GameXChange, Game Stop, Toys R Us, or even fast food places like Burger King and Wendy's and get cool DBZ toys for reasonable prices. Now, I have to go on auction sites to get DBZ stuff for decent prices and then there's shipping and handling to worry about. I wish being a Dragon Ball figure collector wasn't so hard in America.
