Really great work here! I, especially, like the Tarble. Really ingenious to print out a Xenoverse model for the head. How did you go about doing that? I'd imagine it was a little more complicated than just ripping the model, right?
I've always wanted to make some customs of my Xenoverse characters. Just printing the heads would be so convenient!

I can understand if it was like the playboy bunny Bulma or something, it can seem in poor taste to some women. But, that's not even a gratuitously "sexy" version of Bulma. But, you gotta try to keep your lady happy. Sorry you have to miss out on it.
I'm not that much of a fan of Bulma's looks in Dragonball, I'd much rather have a Namek Saga Bulma. If they ever make that one, maybe you could get it since she's covered up a lot more?

I have the repainted perfect cell on preorder. Anyone know why he has those two "tear drop lines"like freeza has on his cheeks? They are infront of his purple cheeks. I'm confused why they are here... didni miss something? They are sculpt lines in the face, from the original mold. They changed the shape of the purple areas of his face between the two releases. The PCE has thinner purple areas that don't go forward far enough to meet the original lines. The lines on the prototype may be a result of them just using the old figure sculpt to show off...or, they just were lazy and didn't bother to resculpt the face to fix it on this release.

It is worth noting that the DS pod does have the padding detail inside of it. It's actually a pretty good thickness, too. The padding just tapers around the door of the pod, the same way it does in the manga and anima pods. It looks like it has about 1/4 an inch of padding. I like the colour of it, too. Is it possible to assemble the Figurerise pod without the majority of the interior? It's just so thick, it looks like it's at least 1/2 inch thick or more, and it looks more like paneling than padding. If you could take that out, and just customize the inside to be more spacious and to have padding it would look so much better. Could you imagine lining the interior with actual quilted padding, in a more accurate off-white or tan colour? The amount of space you would free up, and look would be greatly improved...

Wow, it's odd how different it looks separately posed with figures than with another pod. I guess they are similar size. Although, I'm still shocked by how much more cramped the Figurerise interior is compared to the DS pod's interior. I like the DS interior details more, too. Someone should make a custom with the model kit, of this.

Yeah, his head especially looks significantly bigger. I think his body might be even more muscular than Awakening Goku. Too bad...
So far, it looks like 95% of the Figurerise stuff is way too big for Figuarts. :-/

Man, that pod looks so big. The Vegeta that came with it makes the Figuarts one look like a kid. Seems the armour flaps are the only real annoying part for sitting him down, but that's not surprising. The interior bulking/"padding" or whatever looks weird. I'm still not sure why they decided to just make it so different from the one in Dragonball. They took a lot of liberties with the design. Funny that even though this one is bigger, the way the seat and inside is designed it's actually harder to put scouter Vegeta in it than the smaller DS pod.

I got my PCE Cell pre-ordered. Incredibly excited to get this guy, he is one of my most wanted figures. I can't wait to have him fighting the new Gohan 2.0. And, getting him for under $40 is just awesome! I'm gonna be waiting a little bit longer than most other people getting him online, but I think it's worth it.

I was looking at the Tamashii Nations pictures, again, and I noticed that looking at all of them lined up next to the original SS Goku in the first box...Tien and Yamcha don't seem quite as TALL as I had first thought they were. I feel much better about their heights, now. I don't think it will mess up the sizing of all the figures.

Well, I guess if they ever release a 2.0 Vegito they can fix the wrong hair colour. Since, it's now canon that Vegito has brown hair.

Those effect pieces look pretty cool. I like the translucense and plastic type, too.

That Zen-Oh will probably work just fine with Figuarts.

I just got Figuarts Dark Kiva and Emperor Kiva, $50 shipped for BOTH! Got them from a toku bst group I'm in on facebook. They are loose, but 100% complete. Average price for them new in box is around $80 each, so this was an amazing deal! Soooo happy!

Can we get a Bardock before a black Goku please Bandai Bardock seems like an incredibly easy release. Basically, just Trunks with new head, lower arms and legs. I'm surprised more people haven't made customs of him, yet.

Oh man I can't wait for the eventual Black, Zamasu, and Vegito 2.0 releases. Next year is gonna be so awesome for the line I still wouldn't count on that stuff showing up next year to be honest, even when Funimation finally start the dub, it'll take them a while to catch up to this arc. Willing to bet they'll start pushing out earlier DBS figures though like SSG Goku, Jaco, maybe even 2.0 versions of SSB Goku/Vegeta (not my first choice for 2.0 figures but I expect it to happen) I hope they just forget about Jaco. Personally, that just seems like a wasted slot. Although, Xeno characters are coming out...so, I guess it will be nice to have some releases we can skip to let our wallets recover. Lol.
