I think the quality of these has gone up a little, but so has price. The scale remains inconsistent just like Figuarts, but is not as bad. I wish they made Jiren's legs too long, so I could have a reason to shorten, but it looks like they can't be. The struggles of being a 5 inch scale collector continue....

Cool ones in progress. Looks like you're improving.

Kale looks buy-able. I wonder if her hair will be greener. Jiren also looks good. Hope they're not too tall. Not liking the prices, though......

The head on your custom is definitely better. It has that smug Cooler grin, but man, the detailing on him was difficult to sculpt, and it's such a good feeling that I don't need to finish mine. I'll live with this new one being 1 cm too short.
Now if I can get 498 more characters in this line, I'm set.

It's been a while, Gohan. Glad to see you back. Adam, it is. For the collection list, believe it or not, I sold close to 100 figures (non-customs) for a down-payment on a house, but I plan to buy them back. Once I do, I'll be back at the 501/499 mark. 502 once I purchase that new Metal Cooler. Then the customs will return, eventually. Super will end up changing the list a lot. Depending on how many new characters I need to make from Super, I will have to remove that amount from the current list to keep my goal of 1000 total. Luckily, I have the luxury of removing doubles like a Saiyan and Namek Saga Krillin (whom look the same and wear the same thing, keep 1), but I'll still have to cut out some current listed characters (obviously ones that are most minor) like Moah and Krang from DBZ Movie 8....yeah, who? They made it one scene each. Moah was killed and Krang created the device that stabilized Broly's rage. Pretty unimportant considering their 5 seconds of screen time. Here is a link to volume 1 of my book series www.amazon.com/Plates-Kokoro-Jawshok-Emperor-Parente/dp/1500312363/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523337678&sr=8-1&keywords=plates+of+kokoro&dpID=51NCLpmAPeL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch There's 4 volumes in total (Amazon likes to not label them by volume ) The kindle version is 2.99, and kindle is free to download if your sister doesn't have it. There's the paperback, too, which I'm considering making hard-backs at some point. Lastly, sorry to hear about your mother. I truly know your pain, and hope you can fully rebound. You will. Just know you'll see her again someday. That reminds me. My dad's passing inspired me to write the 4th volume of my Plates of Kokoro series, in which Cancer is the main antagonist.

Those pics remind me of the old Irwin prototype images back in the day like 15 years ago Also, Jiren might to be scale....crossing fingers, even though he doesn't look very good.

BREAKING NEWS: A new figure has been made that is 5 inch scale. Am I dreaming?
Love the paint job, too. His face is weird....like he just farted and is trying to hide it, but that's fine. I don't need articulation anymore either. In fact, I prefer statues. With Metal Cooler being probably the most important main character that I DON'T have and have not made, this will be a must buy.

This is a tough question, so I'll give top 3. Irwin Android 17, Bandai SBC Future Trunks, and HQDX Dodoria. They are quite literally perfect in terms of look and scale.
For customs, top 3 would be Dr. Wheelo, Olibu, and King Yemma.

This reminds me of sevengear 's customs that he made out of toilet paper rolls and paper cutouts. It's different, and kind of cool because you can probably display them on your wall as you go.

^Yajirobe is the best looking one!
If they had Yamcha and Chiaotzu instead of King Kai and Raditz, they'd have the whole Z team. It would be a cool set to have.

I'm still not a fan. Hit was unfortunately way too tall to justify buying. I have some hopes for SS Cabba since he is a shorter character anyway, but as of now, they are making everyone too tall for a 5 inch scale collector to be satisfied. Jiren and Kale have a chance to be universally scaled, though. I will keep my fingers crossed. yeah I think thats why your not into this line, its not meant for 5 inch scale. I switched over to the figuarts scale so its actually beneficial to us. But Ive seen how you customize, im sure you can make this hit into a 5 inch scale. That's possible with some major shortening. As long as his head stays a reasonable size, and his shoes don't look abnormally huge like Future Trunks. Kale may be the one and only figure that will succeed in 5 inch scale. She is tall, but they can't make her too tall since she is a build-a-figure. She might work.

Shocking. 12 figures, and one was Tien. Tender Juicy Hotdog finger toppers got to him way faster than Irwin or Bandai.

Awesome. That might be only 1 of 3 5-inch scale Bardock crews I know of. Cmak and mine being the other two.
