After the years of seeing a deformed Jakks Bardock sell for $200+, the last thing I want to see is a Figuarts Bardock. I like the character, but haven't voted for him in any poll.

I wish Jakks was still around, so you could email that comparison to them. Their version looks like he's been smoking 5 packs a day.

Tough work there. Any form of Broly is difficult to create. Doing pretty good though. Keep it up, and I second what Son Kakarot said.

That's a good point that they could have made Shenron longer with the plastic they used for the base. I still don't understand the pose they decided. It's like a bunch of guys in Tokyo sitting at a table: "We want surprise, turn round, head out, arm hiding pose! Yes! No make Shenlong long. Make short! Add water effect, yes, becoz Shenlong come out of sea!"
I'm glad you decided to keep the DB Shenron aka cool Shenron. Now I won't regret not getting him from you if you had planned to sell it. That will be one long repaint though.

He's huge. I need to make an armorless Nappa, but that's too tall and expensive for a custom base.

I wonder why you got no responses all weekend. I think he looks really cool. His veins look just like the ones I did. All I recommend now is that you give him new green pupils and maybe shade the veins.

Exceptional paint job on that armor! But I'll say the same thing you said to me about my Olibu, the seam on his neck isn't sealed all the way. lol The before figure looks terrible now.
Anyways, glad to see you dishing these customs out. You're on a roll.

16 years, 11 months, and like 20 days or something. Basically 17. 17 years, 11 months, 20 or so days physically, basically 18 in that case, as the Buu Saga began May 7 774 and Gohan's birthday is May 18th.

Back in the day, I thought Figurerealm was for the 'experts.' Though I see there is some real talent there, the DB customs lack perfection.

I mean, if you repaint the boot tips, tail, replace the head, and add some scuffs, it could look seriously awesome. The thin chest doesn't bother me too much. As it stands, I'd give it a 7 at best. Why are people on figurerealm so easily impressed? Does DBF have higher standards? Or is it me?

I wouldn't mind having it as I need a BD Nappa. I would just add a lot of scrapes, repaint some parts, and put a new head on him.

I actually made mine 3/4 of an inch taller and raised his head a little. It actually looks more like Piccolo than any other figure, so I display him as Cell Saga Piccolo. I don't care to pose them anyway like yourself, so no biggie. But his head is little bitty! I don't even know what to do with the head But it looks so good! Lol as long as he isn't near any other Piccolo figures in my display, it'll suffice.

That head lol, but I'll admit, the body is great. That's because the base they used was perfect. They didn't have to do much to it if you click on the figurerealm link. Now, it just needs the boot tips to be yellow and the tail brown.
EDIT: WAIT A MINUTE....he says it took him 100 hours...that's ridiculous! He sculpted the boots, gloves, tail, and head. Scraped off the veins and did some joint tightening that he says took him forever. 100 hours, psh, that looks more like a 20-25 hour job.
