I got my Piccolo in today from Bluefin and I am very happy about this figure! You guys are right he is a really amazing figure. Since normal Vegeta was my first figuarts from the dbz line I felt very skeptical to buy another one, but I really wanted that Piccolo so I said "lets try another!". He stands on his own really easily and just feels SOLID. My only complaint on him is the cape. The smaller front piece made for the folded arms pose is really hard to get in, I've been messing with it for the last 20 minutes and I barely got one side on.  Also, and maybe I'm just new to sh figuarts because I had this problem with Vegeta at first, but swapping the heads is a little diffcult. I feel like I have it lined up right and go to push it in but the ball peg just falls forward, is it supposed to be this hard?  |

Nice piccolo is defenitly the best made and anime accurate imo. I agree that the cape is frustrating as well as swapping the head. But overall he one of the best from the line.

All the heads are like that because of how the pegs are made. After awhile you get the hang of it  |

I try to avoid swapping the heads on my Piccolo and Gohan for that reason. I'm always afraid the peg is going to snap off if I press it too hard.

Yeah I guess it just takes a little practice. I swapped heads like more than 10 times just to get a feel for it haha!

Every figure is like that as everyone said, the only issue I have is putting the turban head on when piccolo has the cape.

Same here. The cape makes it twice as hard to pop the head on.

Anyone have any tips on getting the smaller front of the cape piece to attach? I can only get 1 of the pegs in the other hole just seems too small.. Also any tips on getting his head on while the cape is on?  |

The holes for the cape on the SDCC version are smaller than the original. All I can suggest is heating the hole to soften it so the peg will fit more easily. Also with the head it is just a case of practise makes perfect unfortunately. I don't think there are any tricks to get the head on.

I took off the cape and forced it through the hole, next time I tried it no issues. Maybe a good forcing on the hole will fix it for ya?

I found this by accident and I thought the pics were nice. some review on mtv.comIt sucks that next to the SS Goku he's not even large enough to be Tien. He's basically Yamcha size. His paint job looks great though.  |

I'm all about this paint job.

The over shading on the SDCC Piccolo also put me off a bit too.
