Love the checklist man! Do you have it on any other website? Yeah I posted this on the Facebook group DBZ Collectors United and my other DB group a few months ago, and I'm still updating them on a monthly basis. |

Think Banpresto are doing Dragon Ball Super real justice with these recent figures, lots of different characters rather than loads of repeats like in DB and DBZ editions! I'm hoping for lots of Kais and Gods of Destruction from the Tournament of Power.
I think they missed a trick not making movie characters such as Salza and the rest of Cooler's men and Lord Slug for example.
My Freiza Force have pride of place in my collection, would've loved Cooler's men to go along side them!

However, I feel like the WCF's quality has been steadily decreasing, especially from 2016 onwards. The figures are now made out of softer PVC that are super bendable, and Banpresto doesn't even bother making the pegs for them in recent releases. They feel a lot "cheaper" now relative to the old DWC.  |

It does seem as if they're a lot more manufactured and just pumping them out, more than the older versions which seem more personal (even though they were obviously made for profit too haha) . I'll continue to collect them though! Finally got my hands on Appule this morning after around 3 years of searching!! |

They feel a lot "cheaper" now relative to the old DWC. This seems to be true unfortunately. WCF's are small already, and they have a lot of small parts, which are prone to bending. Examples of latest releases that show a worrying amount of bending are Vados and Whis (the stick and the halo), Zen-oh's attendants (the antenna) and Zen-oh himself. If you look at pictures and videos of the Zen-oh WCF, you can see that his feet are never the same: sometimes they are bent, sometimes one foot is shorter than the other etc. This kinda sucks because the Zen-oh WCF is the one I've been looking forward to the most. I understand this is not really a problem for Japanese customers, as they pay very little for the figures, but it's concerning for us international collectors, as we pay WCF's a lot and they are also more likely to suffer from transportation damages due to longer distances. I hope they improve the quality and conformity of the new WCF's, as it is still my favorite line because of the huge number of characters and relatively quick speed of new releases. |

Since huykle did such an amazing job on his checklist photos and everything, I thought it deserved its own thread. That way, if he keeps up with his checklist better than we do, people can reference it, and also so people can actually find it, instead of it being on page 16 of the checklist CapsulexNike started.  Great job on it! |

This might be a stupid question, but can you please tell me what assortment means in this context and how you measure it?

This might be a stupid question, but can you please tell me what assortment means in this context and how you measure it? The lower the assortment #, the rarer it is. Banpresto usually releases them in boxes of 50 figures now. For example in vol. 5, Zeno's attendant's assortment is 4, hence the rarest. This means that we can only form 4 complete sets out of 50 figures in a box. The rest will be extras. They will go into UFO catchers/crane machines.  I got the assortment info from Japanese websites and conversations with various sellers from Japan. |

Where are you guys based? I'm in England and there's only one shop that sells these figures where I'm from. They don't have anything past the Feb 2017 releases. Dying to get my hands on the likes of Frost, Monaka, Zamasu etc. but going to have to go online, sick of waiting for them to hit the store!
