Consider buying a shf first form cell too. Saw someone selling it a little cheaper with dropping arms. Should be extremely careful when rolling its arms I guess. Bought some more dragon archives. Swap the head of King Chappa for my custom. The rich man is too small for 5 inch or shf, but we don't mind for such a minor character. The Goku(turning to Oozaru) I hope it a litter bigger, still fine for 5 inch scale. The set of bootleg Grand Priest finally shows up on Taobao so I bought it. The Grand Priest is 5 inch scale, and the Gowasu can easily make it taller by take off its legs and stuff something between body and legs, but I already made its custom anyway.

Thanks for the comments. Not much I can update now...just took a picture for some vehicles. Bought a wcf Yamcha to swap the head of vintage one, but I have to remake Yamcha for the first tournament anyway so I made him another body by bootleg shf Krillin. And I made the dwc Oolong articulated to sit on the bike, but the bike is still too small anyway. Saw some Jacksdo Bulma selling separate without plane on taobao so I bought one. Too big but at least better than kid Krillin for this plane.

No special method, you can use a knife to scrape the surface lightly.

I saw a seller selling a Trunks separately so I only bought the Trunks. Its head slightly bigger than the Irwin long hair one but still look good to swap it. Look like the girl with red hair closer to 5 inch scale but I'm not interest in game characters. I just remember I have her ss version. Now I'm considering buying whole set just for her. I can't found the set of Grand Priest on Taobao. Where's your picture come from? Just bought a DS Cell Saga Gohan due to Gohan wearing his old outfit again in new movie. Their joint are the same so the head of adult Gohan can put on it easily.(Bran, I guess you sold it...) Evolve can release a new series of new movie by doing that without creating any new mold. Bought another head for Cheelai, look better than the Lego one. Bought an enlarged bootleg of Hirudegarn to see whether its head can be use for 12 inch custom. It's smaller than AB one but its head is bigger, still too small for custom though.

Just bought a bootleg wcf Trunks for its ponytail head. It's funny that they enlarged the body a little bit except the head. I hope they can do this to some more dwc/wcf like Grandpa Gohan, Sorbet, Monaka, Zeno...etc. And bought a bootleg of Jacksdo kid Piccolo. I prefer this one to the bootleg adverge one. They're both too small if I want to make one into a custom of the namek kid with Dende.

Banan and Sui are customs by using DF and popy head but they're not available on ebay anymore. If you can found one and able to make customs, I recommend Dragon stars Nappa and Vegeta for their body. Yeah Bran, you already got both mini big head and MIB figure for Jimmy Firecracker. Just need few minutes to swap the head but I can see them from your pictures of collection every year without doing anything. Saw a Gengar(the purple ghost) that look like muscular Buu from some funny bootleg muscular pokemon figures. Although my muscular Buu is survived but look pretty bad so I bought a Gengar to make a better one. And I bought a wcf Buu for its head but it's too small so I have to customized the head of Gengar eventually. The head of Jakks Gotenks Buu & Piccolo Buu without nose is wrong, so I swap them to the head of Jakks Gohan Buu. Their joint are similar that can be easily swap by hot water.

Usually there're bootlegs for ichiban kuji, I keep waiting for the bootleg of Bulma(Oolong's transform)of dragon archives, until right now not easy to found one anymore. So I bought all other dragon archives I want before it's too late. For the Gohan(turning to Oozaru)I hope it a little bit bigger, sure too small for shf but still fine for 5 inch scale. For the farmer and mermaid I only want their head for customs. The farmer look like around 4 inch scale, still an acceptable size for the 5 inch collector who don't want to make any custom. Sure getting Goku(turning to Oozaru) for upcoming release. And may be buy King Chappa to swap the head of my custom.

The Oolong's bike I bought before from mecha collection (left one below)is too small. Just bought a bigger one I don't know what's its series from(right one with Hybrid kid Goku), need an articulated Oolong to sit on it. Bought an old model kit airplane from a series called plastic model & figure part 1 recently. Too small but that's the only option we have. And the robot driver without arms and legs is too small for custom.

Only Vegeta is selling here now. Not very accurate to measure it outside the box, look like around 15~16 cm tall. Will be a good custom base to shf collector for Cui, Appule, Sui...etc, and still fine for customs of 5" scale I guess.

You got almost half of the Gods of Destruction. It's many too. I bought the Mexican bootleg set from ebay. Yeah, the Zamasu made from Irwin SS Gohan. We'll have a better Evolve Zamasu if next wave keep going on. I can't found a red transparent cover for Android 19's head so I paint inside of a transparent cover with red marker and sealed it with clay. Yeah, the head of Master Shen came from Banpresto historical figure(the set that Goku punching at the top). There's another choice from LG now but expensive too, so you have to wait for bootleg. The old man of Hatchiyak movie(Dr.Raichi) made from a bootleg figma (Zelda) Link's body with head of dwc Dr.Gero. It look like his old outfit before I customized it. Dragon Stars came out early at Hong Kong but no Evolve available here. Let's update something. Just remake Jimmy Firecracker and two more customs of cameraman and Miss Pizza here.

The Sui made from a prototype of Frog Face. I guess bootleg shf vegeta will be good for both shf or 5 inch scale if you want to make a custom Sui. Nothing WIP I can post at this moment. Just bought a bootleg LG fat Gogeta to see if I can make it an easy fat Gotenks, but it's not bigger than the wcf one I bought before, need to swap lower body to make it taller anyway. Better wait to see whether there will be bootlegs for LG fat&skinny Gotenks before I do anything.

I was wrong about the size of this LG Gohan. It's wcf size actually. And I tried Mcdonald Vegeta but it's too big, need something else smaller with same pose. There's a bootleg car of a studio called Great Design. I saw some members here already bought it. The material of this car is just like Irwin toy car and the figures are made in plastic like wcf. I took off the figures and put an Evolve Vegeta into the seat but something blocked up the legs. There's a piece of board (pic on right) stuck there you have to cut it out if you want to free up space for legs. I wonder should I buy a green one to make the hover car that OX king gave to Bulma, but it need an extra column of backseat and the shape of windshield is different from all those other hover car that make it difficult for customs. There is an upcoming release of Goku's car from GD, about 30cm long(the car about 25cm I guess), really looking forward to see bootleg of it.

Thank you! Dwc/wcf will be fine I guess. Let me post some more pics for XBD. Their scale usually larger than shf. I don't like resin but still want some of them.

I don't have any of those LG bootlegs yet. I'll post it when I buy that Gohan. For that Roshi I only saw bigger version selling on ebay now. The bigger one got an extra left arm to swap, so be careful don't buy the wrong one. I tried Irwin head for that Roshi but it's too small due to that body is much wider than Irwin body, so I guess CP head wouldn't big enough too. What else I can post.... Those stone statue behind(15cm/30cm tall) are selling now. I want a pair of it but quite expensive.

Some old dragon stars are on sales here, 2 for hkd$99(around usd $13) so I bought Gotenks to see if I can make it an easy Gogeta. Just like what I guess it is shorter than 5" Evolve Goku. I have to swap it to UFS foots I got to make it as tall as Evolve(pic on right), and you can see the wcf head of Gogeta I tried are too big so need some work to customize anyway. Btw I didn't see any bootlegs for adverge of Broly movie yet so I bought the lego Cheelai and Lemo. Their head are about the same size of chara punch, still fine for customs. So far this Lemo's head is the only choice but Cheelai got another one from...something like Ultimate Grade(I don't know what's the series called), its scouter is better but I don't know how big it is. I guess it's about the same size of this Lego. Recently there's a bootleg for Master Roshi with two sizes. I bought the smaller size, it scale with 5 inch and even scale better with shf. Just need to repaint it you can make it into any Master Roshi. Now or never, just two easy customs I better finish it when I holding them on my hands. For the Master Roshi I paint it into the outfit of his first time appear. The head look a little bit big. I'll swap its head when I see any dwc/wcf cheap. And for the Gogeta I customized a smaller vegito's head instead. Should be post these on bootleg's thread but let me post it together, since the Gohan still close to the scale of Irwin and Jakks. Even bootlegs got bootlegs now. There're bootlegs for some LG. I don't know what's their original size of LG but I saw those real things before, not exactly dwc/wcf size, it's about 1.5 times bigger. May be too big but the head of gohan still fine for customs, will be an easy custom to put its head on my Mcdonald Vegeta.
