I see a "Participated" link...but no "Recent Posts"... it seems this only applies when I'm logged in. When I'm logged off the Recent Posts link is at the top.

WOW...you are very lucky to have these.
This question was raised a while back and I think I see what's going on here now...obviously IF Labs was working on a Krillin. I can't say for sure but I'm assuming it was similar in size to the IF Labs Kid Goku but when Jakks got their hands on it they scaled it down to fit in the five inch line and then made a separate Goku head to throw onto the body.

Yes, at first glance it does look awesome and I'm a bit surprised by how good the Jakks parts look with the Figuarts body but what this guy did just doesn't seem acceptable to me. He lost about 1 cm of space on the torso since he just put the Jakks parts on and left it. It can, SHOULD be done so much better. I don't know why it's bugging me so much. Guess it's that $175 price tag...it's a shame someone might end up with that and lose that much money.

The joint are definitely intimidating but chances are I wouldn't touch them. If I do this I'm simply going to remove the shirt pieces on the shoulder, fill in the holes where the pieces went, carve down the Figuarts torso until there's nothing left but the parts holding the shoulder joints and the neck, get rid of the Jakks neck and then fit the Jakks torso onto the remnants of the Figuarts torso...then I'll sculpt a new abdomen that blends the Jakks and Figuarts parts and repaint everything to match the Figuarts skin color. I'd probably have to repaint some knee joints and that would absolutely suck but I think it would be the only truly difficult part.

Did anyone else see this? Figuarts Battle Damaged SS Goku CustomThe asking price is absurd IMO. It looks OK but $175? I can't even tell what this guy did with the arms...it looks like he drove nails through the elbox joints. It annoys me because I know it could've been better. I've thought about using Jakks torsos on Figuarts figures before but never bothered with it...then I saw that and had to see what could be done. That way I can add the shirtless torso and still keep the Figuarts arms. With enough time I could combine the two figures into a quality custom that at least looks like a Figuarts figure. There's actually one other torso I could use that might be cool. I don't really see that happening...mainly because the Bardock parts are already being used on another custom and I also have no idea what I'd use for the waist and the legs. I don't see the Goku happening either since I've been dealing with so much lately...but who knows, I may hit the Goku one day. It seems like it's begging to be made.

Adrenaline I never noticed that either...no wonder the Oozarus never came out, they must have been huge.

Toguro...argh...how frustrating...and the first Kurama looks incredible. Were some of these supposed to be part of a third 8 inch series? I remember seeing some of the same characters in a presentation for the third 5 inch wave.

Whoa...very good find...how about that, those are IF Labs sculpts. the rest is a bummer...that Dr. Wheelo would've been very cool to have.

I still think it's crazy, you're just starting and you start with that kind of Figuarts lot...that just doesn't happen.

I absolutely hate the long waiting periods but I do enjoy the chance to save enough money to make the purchases.

really glad you posted that The Great Saiyaman, I've wanted to see a pic of the Rock Bison next to DBZ figures for a long time. I think that would make a good base for a Figuarts Hatchiyack custom...it would take a ton of work but the size looks perfect. ah...it was from Sideshow...either way thanks for the repost.
