Has anyone ever tried making the limbs on a Super Battle Collection fit more permanently into the figure while keeping articulation? I want to be able to let my kids play with my extra SBC but not if it means they are going to lose the arms and feet.

What's the most affordable option for a Figuarts Goku and Vegeta with Black hair?

Are you asking if anyone would buy your collection? Or what King Cold and First Form Frieza cost? I can't tell if you want to keep those two figures and sell the rest or the opposite. If you are looking to sell off some of your figures little by little I collect loose figures and would be interested in what you have available.

Saiyan Saga Piccolo Nail and Tien = I started the dry brushing process to the white areas of these two, it seems I will have to sand off the thick areas and try again. Goku, Kaioken, False Super Saiyan = Just starting these guys but the ideas are there. Turles = I decided to go with a metallic purple color scheme since I also had a pearl purple that I thought would look interesting over the black areas but it doesn't really show up very well. Broly = Got a bunch of rare figures in a lot that were very beat up. This Broly had a bunch of damage to his hair that I still need to repair since the paint won't fill the imperfections like I thought might work. Tapion = Tapion now has a ball jointed neck at the cost of needing to sculpt some more on the neck area. I also got the forearms a much better fit into the upper arms. SS4 Vegeta = Years ago I attempted to make this into a SS5 custom but the blue paint wasn't taking very well. So I decided to try and restore it back to a SS4. GT Trunks = This is just a head swap with a different Jakks Trunks figure and I love the change. The neck is a little skinny for this to honestly work but with the jacket and the scarf you can't really tell. This is more just to see if the parts fit since I will be making Trunks without the jacket and will probably have to sculpt a neck. If I do sculpt a neck, I will probably beef up his arms and chest as well. Special Paints Cell restoration = I got this figure along with Broly and several others. Cell was missing a wing and a hand, I will leave that up to you guys to figure out which are original and which were replacements for now. Crazy thing is the hand came from a TOYBIZ 5" figure not a DBZ figure.

I actually have the Jakks SS Trunks GT head... it's big and ugly. I like the purple haired variant though. I was wondering if the Jakks Future Trunks head might fit on the GT Trunks body or if it would require an entire torso swap.

Could someone please take a picture of a Jakks GT Trunks nest to the Jakks Future Trunks? Perhaps shoulder to shoulder and back to back.

What about the idea of buying a unpainted AB Janemba new in the package just to open it up and repaint it for a custom figure? I ask because I'm seriously considering it.

Ok I will make sure to do this for posting photos in the future and will replace the current attachments soon.
Thanks for the feedback Branjita and I'm glad you like Turles since some of the sculpting on his forearms looks shaky or uneven. I used to try and work on too large of an area back then as apposed to doing sculpting in stages and layers like I prefer to sculpt now.

Thanks for the feedback. Tapion didn't take as much hard work as he did patience and lots of parts from 3 or 4 figures as well as a Tapion figurine by Bandai. You could make this figure with fewer parts but he would either be too muscular or not able to hold his sword and ocarina. I put a lot of thought into how I was going to make Tapion then got on ebay to get the parts I needed. It was an expensive custom to attempt but I managed to get some use out of all the left over parts so it all worked out in the end.
The non SS Goku in armor is pretty easy and would be a good beginner level custom for anyone looking to get started. I was going to describe the process here but it got long winded and confusing lol. Maybe I will write a tutorial one day on how to do this since it is pretty easy and is a pretty rewarding custom since it looks great and doesn't need any paint.
I have this bad habit of getting a custom 90% of the way done then not finishing it for some reason. It's like I already see the finished product before I'm really done. I'm trying to finish all the customs that are nearly complete to add some numbers to my custom figure collection as well as some DBZ love among all the TMNT and Batman movie custom stuff I'd been focusing on.
