@m5jagdragonpanzeriv, is the premium Bulma only available from Bandai? I should get on pre-ordering her soon, she looks so damn good. I've got to admit, even Goku is growing on me. The sculpting is really damn impressive.
X-Plus Gotenks looks like he might be the best entry in the Dragonball Z lineup yet! Those Shokugan figures also look amazing. I'll have to get Trunks and Gohan, at least!

But... Why would you want an SHF creepy Woody? Creepy Woody only exists because of the Revoltech figure... Also, ◄VR►, Revo Darth Vader has been listed at 6.7 inches tall. Meaning he and the other Star Wars Revo figures probably look fantastic with the Star Wars: Black Series figures, but may be too big for DBZ S.H.Figuarts. Not that that would be a huge deal, since Vader is supposed to be ridiculously massive.

We've already got an SHF Batman and Sasuke on the way, Luffy has been out forever, Naruto just got released, and Iron Man has already had three different figures in the line.This list is very random. You've got Apocalypse, Zod, Killer Croc and Lobo, but no Wonder Woman, Flash, or any a-list villains besides Joker and Loki...

Does anyone know anything about this Shenron? It's just a floppy, rubber kids' toy.

Branjita, I'm very surprised you never knew about the curved backdrop. I'm not really sure how else you could make a visible horizon seamless without editing it out post-production. If space and cost is an issue, just tape some bristol board or craft paper up to a wall and push a table under it. alex2k5, I get what you're saying. I definitively need to sell a bunch of my figures and I plan to, I'm just having trouble figuring out how to ship them. Ebay and Canada Post are difficult to work with, sometimes. Adobe Lightroom? My old photography teacher told me about the program. My sister may or may not have that already installed on her computer, I'll have to see. I mainly use iPhoto and CS6 for my editing. I, too, struggle with colour. My camera makes every photo turn out almost grey. Very bland. If it wasn't for photo editing, my photos would all be monochromatic! But thanks for the camera tips, man! I'll definitively keep that in mind.

I agree about the lipstick on Frieza. But that's such a minor complaint when he looks so perfect! The shading is so impressive.
Oh my good god... The detail, the face, the proportions... Porunga is perfect. A true work of art. Seriously. I can't imagine how many hours of work went into this MASTERPIECE.

Love all the sixteen inch figures, especially the Goku holding Gohan! Great setup.

TGS, yeah, these are mine. I do have posing issues, realized near the end of these sets the Kamehameha's are wound up backwards most of the time. I'm still used to Transformers and basic figs, having all these posing options isn't normal for me. I also tend to focus more on the shot's technical aspects than what they are doing, trying to pay more attention to that as I do these types of galleries. The pics - learning the basics of your camera, (or any camera), good lighting, and practice. Shoot something every day, even if it's just deleted when done. I've been learning via online tutorials and books over the last 3 years, and there is still room to improve for sure. Tons of guys on Flickr with wicked skills better than this. I enjoy the challenge of trying to make them awesome even if they aren't always perfect. RE: Gohan - yep, I was being casual in my text but you are the second to note that so I'll go edit it up. I'm sure that in due time, your posing will improve. The articulation can be a bit overwhelming! I'm very well-acquainted with my camera and various lighting styles (I took the picture that's avatar, Tien15's avatar at the top of the page, too), but the fact of the matter is, my camera is kind of crappy. It's very frustrating to use. It can't even properly connect to most external flashes. I keep spending my money on figures, instead of electronics. I agree that there are dozens of amazingly talented toy photographers on Flickr, I just really dig the clarity and vibrance of your shots. They're simple, and nice to look at.

King Piccolo is going to be fantastic. I'm loving the head on that middle Goku, too!

I'd buy Cell and Frieza before they're too expensive to afford. They're essential.

Very elaborate kitbash on Gohan! But no complaints, he turned out GREAT. I'm so damn impressed by how three dimensional you can make faces that are supposed to be two dimensional look. Such depth! Your paint work really brings things to life. A really great custom, man. And he looks so cool with your other Namek Z-Fighters!
And, oh man... That battle damaged Goku! Holy crap. I'm so glad you decided to keep that head on the custom. It looks absolutely killer. One of your best Goku customs yet. Again, the depth in his face looks freaking incredible. It looks like he jumped right out of the anime! I love the deep, deep blue you used on his shirt and the vibrant red/orange you used on his pants. Dig the subtle shading, too. The rips all look great! I love the first pic of him kicking Frieza (it's crazy you got him to balance like that) and the gif of him powering up. Gotta add some kaioken effects to it!

Ah, damn. Such an awesome, awesome prize. Some day, I'll buy myself one! A million congratulations to you, surlyj. Enjoy that bad boy. And a million thanks to Cap for putting this contest on! Seriously, man. To you and Bran, thanks for making us this awesome site. Great vid. I hope if you or anyone decides to do something for next year's anniversary, we have even more people get involved. Happy one year anniversary, DBF!
