Oh, good point. Gine is on my list and she is in another parody. Gine and Kuriza. Mother of Goku, son of Frieza.

As of right now, I have no intention to make video game characters or video game transformations (SS3Broly, Cellin, Tiencha etc) To be honest, I would, but I refuse to list over 1000 haha That includes Xenoverse, though I have heard good things. Same thing with Dragonball Online. Won't be making any of them. Just trying to stick to DB/Z/GT, movies, and specials. HOWEVER, I do have one character in my list that isn't in the series and that's Frieza's son, Kuriza from Nekomajin, Toriyama's parody of Dragonball. I had to have him in there since he's in the family. He's the one exception for now. By the way, I fixed your first post, so the comments are in order.

That's neat. I feel the same way about not wanting to leave characters out. Throughout the years, I have edited the principles that my list is based on. They have to have played a role, even if a very minor role, and be "real" characters. I think one of the most minor characters I have on my list is the West City Police Officer from the Red Ribbon Army Saga. I don't have many nameless characters, but he is one. I just added him the other day because he helped Goku find Bulma's place and he reappears in the King Piccolo Saga. I have no other policeman, truck drivers, or any civilians of any kind other than him, so he may be the most minor. I am also not considering "thought" characters like Denku (Goku/Dende's fusion) for example, or the Monster Androids that Goku dreamt about. I also took out the what-if Saiyans from my list yesterday, so no more SS3Vegeta, SS4Vegito and company. They aren't real characters, so I had to. Plus that way, I could make room for Frieza's new henchmen and a few other characters that had been sitting on the bubble. My main thing is no more than 1000 characters/figures to have. I have to impose that limit or else I'll never have a chance to finish. So every few weeks, a character gets replaced with another, but might come back on the list in the future. That list won't stop changing until I finish with #1000 when I'm an old man. ...I need to become filthy rich fast so I can retire and have all the time I need.

These are so flippin' cool and affordable. Very creative to use toilet paper rolls and paper cutouts. You can make any character you want whenever you want. Really like the diversity of characters too. Makes me glad someone can remember and appreciate minor characters like that. Btw, I gave names to each of Dodoria's Elite Henchmen It's in my list. Also, glad I could be of some help and provide the motivation. Guess I'm not as bad as some people believe

That does look pretty nice. Can we see another angle?

I haven't moved forward with Broly yet. Still waiting on some pieces for him and I need more apoxie. I have time though. I plan to have him done by Christmas, or around the time his transformed Figuarts self is released at the end of the year. Right now, I am working on Goku-Ginyu (that's Goku in Ginyu's body) He wasn't in any of my plans a week ago. But I think this works. First, I had to slice off the scouter that was molded into the figure. I even had to cut away the "invisible" scouter lens it had on his eye. Tedious work, but I managed to sculpt him a new brow, cheek, ear, and also got rid of his evil teeth grin and replaced it with a little more subtle expression that Goku had used while in his body. Then of course, I just cut into his armor to create the wound that Ginyu left. Continuing, this sofvi Ginyu figure also had those stupid straight extended arms. I am trying to bend them a little to match the scene below. I tried using a clothes hanger in the arms (since their hollow) and bending it that way, but the hanger was too thin and when it bent, it just stayed bent in the arm and stretched the skin, rather than bending the arm the way I wanted. Plus bending it while it was in the arm was a hassle. Next, I boiled them, rubber-banded them, then froze them for five minutes and even that didn't work. So I decided to just rubber-band them bent and keep them that way overnight. I released them this morning after I took the picture and it looked like it worked. We'll see when I get home tonight. From here, all I have left is to paint the skin a lighter shade of lavender, hope those arms stay slightly bent, and then repaint the black parts of his armor and the wound to be bluish. I am not sure if anyone has a figure of Goku-Ginyu until now. Attachment Deleted

Captain Ginyu (Frieza Saga)Date: November 2014 Creation Time: 8 HoursDifficulty: 4/10Head: Chara Puchi Ginyu Body: Jakks SZF Ginyu Fists: Deagostini SS4Vegeta Scouter: Irwin Burter Modifications: A lot of work went into this despite there being very little sculpting. I decided I needed a Goku in Ginyu's body custom and the Banpresto Sofvi Ginyu that I had in place of just Ginyu, was the best option as he was in a pose better suited for Goku's version than Ginyu himself. Plus I'd rather limit the amount of permanently posed figures in my collection and especially Ginyu Force (only Guldo is now). So I had an extra Jakks Ginyu sitting in my fodder that I had no current use for (was thinking of using him for a bigger Frieza henchman) Instead, I decided to fix him up and use the body for my actual Captain Ginyu for my collection. To start, the original Jakks head on this body had to go. It's terrible. I had two Chara Puchi Ginyu heads, both different sculpts and different sizes. This was the bigger one which was still smaller than Jakks.' I think it looks perfect. The neck on the Jakks body snapped in pieces while trying to boil and pop the original head out (must have been one of those brittle factory leftover figures) so I had to sculpt a new neck to fit the Chara Puchi head. The armor, as we all know, was placed too high by Jakks, and lowering it isn't as easy as it sounds. Not only does it require moving, but the upper pecs that now show needed a little apoxie over it and sanding because it was originally used to connect the armor on. Once mended, I painted over and then glued the armor into place. So much better! I highly recommend anyone do this that has the Jakks Ginyu. Even with that ugly head, lowering the armor makes such a difference. As for the waist armor, Jakks also made this too high as they left out the white band that goes across the bottom of the armor. I sorta half-assed this and just painted the top layer white. Looks good. Slicing that off would require a whole new sculpting of that lower band and then stupid gluing of the waist armor against (probably another 2 hours of work. No thanks. Then moving to his hands, I didn't like their open form. I like fists on the majority of my figures, so I had to search far and wide among my custom fodder for one. Didn't find any that matched his size and then went through some of my 'pre-set' custom fodder (figures for customs that are planned) and found some Deagostini SS4Vegeta fists that weren't necessary and almost already the right shade of purple. Another improvement. From here, I gave him a 100% repaint (head, horns, the armor on the chest, stomach, arms, and boots went from navy blue to black, skin from darker lavender to a lighter shade, and armor pads from orange to a lighter bronze brown) For the final touches, I gave him an extra Irwin scouter, painted the details on it (red button, black stripe, and gray pad lining) and then added one of Branjita's Ginyu logo stickers. I will admit that he is a little too buff IMO, but he appeared to be as thick as Recoome in some scenes so it's okay to me. As for height, he is still shorter than my custom Recoome thankfully, though to keep a precise difference between him and Recoome as I have between Burter and Recoome, I had to sorta lower the head on the neck. I think it still looks fine. I really like this new one. My first Captain Ginyu that isn't posed!

In the anime, and most scenes I am seeing, he doesn't have the shoulder pads underneath his armor. It might have just been part of his transformation. Or it was just always hiding. Attachment DeletedThis was 1andonly's original figure used. (You should always mention what you used to make your customs) Very Interesting too. Never noticed the original figure had his shoulder armor underneath.

Vegeta is just about perfect. I think the collar of his armor is a bit too flared, but good work on him. 9.5/10
Frieza 1st Form is very good too, but no one noticed the white shoulder pads underneath his shoulder flaps. What is that anyway? Should just be his pink skin. The head isn't the best Frieza 1st Form option either. Looks too childish. You could help this a little by making his smile longer though. Overall, very good use of parts and adding articulation to the original DX Frieza it looks like! Nice to see you back. 8.5/10

The only things the AB Broly is good for is a torso and arms for Super Bojack (as I used), boots for base Broly (as I'll be using), and the head and pants for trash lol
