Ok, I'm on my computer now. Question: You actually like the Jakks Goku that came with the pale painted Burter? That's interesting. His head fits down on the neck too far and he has a really weird face. shifftymking took the above pic. According to an old post by timone317, lanternjv37 head swapped that body and forearm swapped that body to make an incredible looking Goku though: I see there isn't that pack on ebay currently or even in completed listings. My local comic book shop has that 2 pack for about $75 or $85 though if you desperately need it. Let me know ASAP, because I can go buy it for you this week if you want me to. It's too far away to drive to on a week I'm working, so this is the only week I could do it. That RR Krillin looks awesome. If I didn't have custom ones to fill in my collection, I'd want one for sure. He's close to perfect and certainly better to scale than Irwin, Figuarts, etc. for a 5 inch collection! Thanks for taking those pics! You can see comparison pics of WCF Baba in my finished customs topic. The Hachette one looks significantly smaller in your pics, but still pretty good. Their bodies are probably around the same size, but the WCF has a better sized head for 5 inch scale. The Santal Gohan shouldn't be that expensive I don't think. I'm pretty sure he came from Italy so PGV might be able to find you one. You'll probably just have to buy the whole set of around 6 figures if you really want it. I don't have mine anymore, I traded it to Oldphan for a Jakks little kid Gohan years ago. I do see that there is one on ebay.it right now: www.ebay.it/itm/LOTTO-4-PERSONAGGI-3D-DRAGON-BALL-Z-GT-SANTAL-CON-SCATOLE-/291973660987?hash=item43fafc813b:g:G-MAAOSw9r1V7xBc

EDIT: SORRY FOR WRITING AN ENTIRE BOOK lol like the goku because i feel he has the natural bulk to fit in with the other jakks figures. And i like that he has the symbol on his gi. I know thats not a big deal to you guys because you litterally make your own, but to the type of person i am he seems superior just because he came with that extra little feature lol. Interestingly ive seen the android saga irwin goku come both with and without the symbol on his chest. I like the irwin stuff better, "in a sense", because i played with them as a kid, but the jakks figures are just so much nicer when they're in my hand. Im not huge into scale as it relates to the anime, nor am i too concerned with particular aesthetics. I just like my figures to look nice and to just go well together. For instance, I imagine every male masters of the universe figure was roughly the same height. Even though that sacrifices the scale between the characters it makes them all go nicely together. That probably best explains why some of my figure choices may not be the most orthodox. I like figures like janemba and yakkon so much, not because they are favorite characters or well made toys, they just remind me of monsters i played with as a kid like the rancor and the astral moat monster from thundercats. I honestly like the glossy stiff armed AB figures more than any others just because they remind me of 80s toys. Lol i have the ab kabitokai with no intention of acquiring the jakks one that most people seem to favor. Im just kinda odd like that i guess Ive seen that custom photo lots of times. Thats an awesome goku. Whose arms are those? I thought they were gogeta but then they wouldnt have the sleeves... I appreciate the offer to pick up the 2 pack. Thats very kind of you. Ill have to pass though. Right now my BUY ON SIGHT list is pretty small. Epoch oolong is probably the only non jakks figure on it. Only because gold hair sbc vol 7 vegeta is finally on its way. That thing took me forever to find for under 20$ the toughest pieces for me right now are removable shirt jakks goku for under 50$ jakks vegeta with scouter for under 75 and omega shenron for around 100. Ive seen the cloth shirt goku on amazon and ebay but its always carded for 80+. Beyond that gp krillin and namekian gohan are giving me a bit of a hassle. I dont want the chinese quality rejects that being sold on american ebay and all the itallian ones are still a bit pricey after shipping. Ive seen a huge quality difference. 2 different heads completely on the namekian gohan. My holy grail right now is the gp gold figures. I really want that ss3 goku and ss3 gotenks. I need them carded so i can open them but prove theyre not repaints lol. There's a ss3 goku on ebay but he is missing his bang . Thank you so much bran for linking me to that santal lot. Ive already messaged the seller about shipping. I will own those soon thanks to your lead thats why i really wanted to join this sight. I kept all my adventures and excitement to myself all year so i could have something worth showing when i did speak up, but now its getting to the point where i need the help of a community of like minded fellows to bag the truly rare game.

Goku's arms are the battle damaged super saiyan goku and frieza 2 pack. And for the gold haired figures are you talking about these?

Yep. Those are the ones. Im trying to get all the gold hair sbc and those AB moldings would just slip into the collection so well. I want to rip those ss3 figures open SO BAD!!! I have a bad habit of that. I openend my gp cell, general rildo, and orange shirt roshi without a second thought. Thats one of my favorite things about dbz figures. They honestly seem to be just as desirable loose as carded.

Thanks Alden. I wanted that gregory so bad. One week 2 popped up on ebay. 1 for 10$ buy it now and the other on an auction with king kai and bubbles that ended at 28$ I had 0$ on paypal for 2 whole weeks until i got paid!!!! I was so heartbroken. I thought i would never find one again lol it did take about 4 or 5 more months to find another one.

Good to know you finally got one. I once purchased two HG Gashapon saibamens( not sure of the exact name but it's those small neon green color saibamens) since it had the word RARE in it's title for $30 only to later see them being sold by another seller for $12. The only thing rare was the price is what i learnt the hard way.
EDIT: It was four figures.

Glad you like the Vegeta custom! Now I just need to find the time to make the new one I wanted to make, so I can fill in that gap in my own collection!

Thanks ssj2dakota!!! I seriously had like every dbz toy available when i was a kid. That and seeing all the awesome collections here really just made me want to start building the collection I've always owned in my mind. Over the course of building a collection i found so many toys i never new about that I love so much. It was one of the best parts. Funny thing, seeing pictures of my own stuff actually kind of bums me out. I really take common figures for granted, I havnt ended up buying most of them and passing them by all the time makes me feel like I've acquired them. This makes me feel like there's like 200 more figures standing there Lol.
