Wait, what? They're starting a separate line of 5" figures? That's very interesting news.
This is tough. I've had absolutely no interest in the Dragon Stars line for various reasons - and let me be very clear, I'm not saying these are better than Figuarts, these still look lower end. BUT...these have implemented a couple of things I desperately want to see on the 2.0 Figuarts figures.
1. The butterfly joints on the Goku. They are PERFECT. Let me say again, PERFECT. They have the same color as the gi, meaning that these will blend in nicely with the rest of the gi when they are moved. Compare this to most Figuarts figures where the butterfly joints match the color of the arms and it creates a big break in the torso sculpts. (It isn't just a problem with 2.0 figures, the 1.0 figures also had this.) Not only that, they are OUTSIDE of the torso rather than tucked away inside of it. I feel like the 2.0 Goku mold is flawed because the butterfly joints are tucked too deep inside of the torso. That leaves the arms stuck at a 15-degree angle and there's nothing that can be done about it. Here, there doesn't appear to be any restrictions on the arms, and if that's the case, it's a major improvement over the way the 2.0 Goku arms were designed. Also...the biceps aren't slumped over to the side. Great to see.
2. The design of the waists. It's so frustrating seeing this because this is EXACTLY what I want to see on Figuarts figures. T-style joints for the legs with thigh articulation added, BUT the waist is all one piece, and it creates the appearance of a fuller sculpt. It looks SO much better than the five-part mess that most Figuarts figures have now.
Boy. I don't think I'll be able to skip these. They aren't better than Figuarts overall, but from a functionality/articulation standpoint, they definitely seem to be. I'm impressed.

$14 from AliExpress. Actually think this looks better than the legit figure cause it’s a little thinner Have to ask, can you take a few more pics of the package? I've been wondering if the plastic tray from this can fit inside the 2018 Goku box.

(off topic, but...)
It hadn't occurred to me until just now. If the rumors are true about a certain appearance in the Broly movie, do you know what that means for the Figuarts line?
