man, just wanna take the time to appreciate this line. 175 figures and counting. Feel free to fact check this, but this might be the most successful and consistent line in the dragon ball series.

yikes, lol thats gotta suck to lose a dragon ball. the namek ones are easy to find at least since its bigger, but damn, the smaller ones would have been a pain in the ass.

I just noticed my Ginyu SHF lost his Four Star Dragon Ball somehow. Looks like some spring cleaning is in order so I can find it. I'm still gushing over EE Raditz + Gohan. GOD I love that Raditz so much! he is very satisfying to pose. especially next to vegeta and nappa, the other raditz i had him fighting goku and piccolo

I was considering doing something similar with the SHF Great Ape Vegeta & the Shodo mini Goku figurines. They’re tiny, only about 3 1/2 inches but they scale perfect with Great Ape, especially since he’s like 100 feet tall in the anime so the SHF version is massively under-scaled. And the other SHFs obviously are too big. But unfortunately I don’t have Oozaru Vegeta yet so this will have to wait. Maybe someone else can do this? I think it would look pretty cool. All you gotta do is repaint the SSG hair to black & you can possibly have a neat battle scene that’s imposing & somewhat accurate. this is one of the reasons why I want to start a gashapon scale collection. it makes the giant characters look awesome.

I'm also looking forward to comparing King Cold to Jakks MECHA FRIEZA, in case the scale/proportions are too off. lol i bought a jakks mecha frieza just to see the scale so well see. but from the looks of it, it seems like a good scale . ill pose pics when the king gets here

The SHF is going to dwarf the Jakks version no doubt. But guess who just finished paying off Full Power Freeza and is now going into further debt by placing preorders for Mecha, Cold, and the entire cast of FF7 from the Bring Arts line lol get at it man, just live on bread fellas, well be fine.

I just realized that old gashapon Mecha Frieza would probably be in scale with the S.H. Figuarts King Cold when sitting down in the throne lol i was thinking about this too lol. when we get king cold hope someone can provide a pic for referrences

me personally, i hate recycling things in super. the blue hair is a recycle of super saiyans, golden frieza and the plot is a recycle of frieza loosing stamina, cell max losing to beast gohan which is basically a ssj2 recycle, broly being recycled.
not a lot of original thoughts from toriyama. But im such a fan he still gets my money anyway lol. if the next movie is somehow a recycle of Majin buu, id still see it and id still buy stuff for it lol

Ascat I'm mostly wondering why the guy you bought those from had 3 Dr. Geros and 3 Android 19s. Seems like an investment that had to be cleared out because of an emergency. ohhhh about that, 1 of them i got from p bandai, the other two i have a figuarts guy i see in cali who gives me good deals since i go to him all the time. he sells slightly above retail but he still lower than ebay, bbts, amazon. im gonna use one of the geros and the 19's to be in a group pic with 18 17 and 16, and the other one vs vegeta and the other one with the yamcha stabbing scene.

I just came home with Raditz. He's a bit bigger than I anticipated. I expected him to be at least Goku or Piccolo's height, but man he's a beast! maaaan that raditz is one of my favorites in this line. Im not a king cold guy, but that new king cold might be the best figuarts from this line

That rules so hard. It's rare when something you love so much can be so rewarding - but you deserve all the credit in the world for then taking that reward, and investing it in yourself. Congrats, dude, seriously
lol thanks Dale, its sounds a bit dramatic but yeah my love for this franchise literally changed everything for me, not only did it gave me happy childhood memories, it changed my life: these figures gave me a way to pay for school, re-buy back my collection 1000x more in value, have a good career, and through this career, i met my wife and now have my son.

I totally see your point, and it's incredibly annoying with limited stock items like exclusive kaioken goku 180,000... but I also understand why people do it, and I don't judge them for it - especially if it ultimately means that Tamashii sells more figures. I figure that the more figures they sell, the more likely it is they'll make more of them/ release new figures; also helps to gauge interest. To each their own imo
i get that point as well, but mehhh, its like stocks and real estates, certain properties increase in value. You cant fault a guy who can invest at the right time when others cant.

@ branjita lol one is for my sealed collection, the rest is for my loose collection. if i buy more than 2, its usually because i like to pose to recreate another scene that character is in.
