I sincerely don't see a difference in quality between the SSB and SSG. This is what it could have looked like if they cared more. Wow. This leaves me speechless. Dear Tamashii, when the Bootleg-Company is doing a better job than you are, maybe it's time to get your crap together.

I really hope the skirt is as flexible as the pictures imply. Would be a shame if we couldn't properly put him in some epic Tokusatsu poses.

I need that SSJ4 Broly!! What's the name of this volume? The line is basically called: Super Dragonball Heroes - World Collectable Figure SS4 Broly is part of volume 2. Looks like he's getting number 10. So he might end up beeing WCF SDBH10.

Oh Boy, Richie, in my opinion this is your most amazing find as of today. (yes, there are TTF, Zeem and double chances that are less in numbers, but at least we always knew for certain they exist) No offense, but your comment "None of which have ever been photographed or circulated online, until now!" is kind of wrong. ^^ One of them appeared online a couple of years ago. See THIS thread. At that time I was honestly quite sceptical about the authenticity of the figure. There are quite some minor differences between the figure and the promoted picture. Someone skilled in figure custumization might easily be able to pull this of. Further, no one was able to find the alleged yahoo auction where the figure was sold. Now, yours looks exactly like the one that appeared years ago, which finally confirms this story for me. Or did you happen to buy this exact one? It's great that they start to resurface after all those years. Makes me get my hopes up to maybe even owning one myself one day. If you ever want to let go of yours or come across another one, don't hesitate to contact me. ^^ Would you share how you got yours? Did it come with some packaging or a COA or something additionally to the figure? EDIT: After reading your comments in your Facebook group, I understand that you did not acquire the figure, but just shared some pictures of you being face to face with one of the grails, right? So, is this actually the same figure that was presented in the ameblo blog?

Honsetly, it's apain in the ass to identify fake Pops from authentic ones. The simplicity of some of the figures makes it sometimes damn near impossible to see the differences if you don't have an original verision at hand. Sounds stupid, but it's really helpful to trust your gut feeling, especially if you have already handled some Pops. - Is the paint job clean or are there some imperfections?
- Does the figure feel "imbalanced"? Does it topple over easily?
- Does the print job of the box feel cheapish? (I know, the authentic boxes are already not a piece of art....but still)
- Does the figure smell like chemical warfare?
- Does it have an imprint on the feet?
- Did you buy a Pop that is considered a grail for cheap. E.g. Arlia Vegeta for $20?
If you are in doubt, you really need to invest some time researching the actual figure. You will find many posts in forums, youtube, instagram etc. So try to compare your figure as thoroughly as possible. Find out what the collectors valua of the figure is and what people recently paid for an original version. You often will be able to find pictures of respective fake Pops as well, so also try to look into them. For each figure you will find different details that give away a fake. Especially the rare ones tend to be really hard to identify.
Now, in case of your Vegeta, I would say that you got an authentic one. I base this on the fact that the scouter has some transparency, which the conterfeits usually don't.
Compare to this reddit post:

I'm not 100% sure which SS3 Goku you're talking about. I guess your'talking about the first one, from the Dragonball World Ichiban Kuji. My figure feels really well attached to the base-parts. It feels like I would damage the figure if I would try to forcefully remove to base-parts to have a look at the soles. So, based on this I would wildly guess the soles are neither sculpted nor painted and simply glued on. Does this help you? Maybe I was misinterpreting your question. Just in case, here's a picture.

The pack (simply called "Power Squash Original Figure Set") was sold as a promotion item in almost all the stores where those Pokka PowerSquash cans with DragonBall Kai illustrations were sold. There is only this one set of the 3 characters. The figures itself are around the size of a regular soda can (as you can tell by the packaging). The quality is quite decent, but to be honest, there is nothing amazingly special about them. As for the price, I wouldn't consider them as valuable as 330$. If you're patient and keep your eyes open, you can probably get them for a small fraction of that.

What a nice idea. I wonder how sturdy they actually are.

It's an actual model that you could win by sending in 5 of those slips that came with the figures. Unfortunately, I have never seen an actual picture of it. On the slip it looks like it's made of cardboard. For sending in 10 slips (5 from each volume) you could get the Shenron that is pictured next to the Tenkaichi Buduokai set.

It's nice to see that they are finally adding mini-figures. Too bad the Chaozu is in this very specific pose. I understand that it's a perfect fit for Nappa, but if you want to display him seperatly it looks kinda stupid... Now I'm also getting my hopes up to get Korin with Kid Goku, if he's ever released.
And I guess it's likely that we'll be getting a separate Cell Saga Yamcha with Puar then. Seems fair.

Thank Kami that this line is not over yet. Can't wait to see better pictures of them. So far I feel like they could put the rest of the line to shame.

Sorry for the late reply, I had a really busy week. The Capsule Corp keychain thing is a squishy toy keychain released by Plex or プレックス. The line is called Yawaraka Mascot Collection 2 or やわらかマスコットコレクション 2. It looks like in your picture the two towers at the top are torn of. There is also a volume 1.
