Hello friend, it's been a long time!
I have to show you my collection, big update to see.
But for now, i have questions!
Are gohan and krilin SHF saiyan suit are ok for 5" action figure collection if we swap heads?
Is the new Chaotzu SHF (with Tien cyborg saga) okay for 5"?
I'm also thinking about a new 5" custom using a kid gohan SHF to make a teen gohan from broly's first movie. What do you think?
Thanks

I think the bodies on the SHF Krillin and Gohan in armor are likely much too large for 5 inch scale, but I'm not 100% sure. The Chaozu is probably similar in size to the Irwin one. I'm not sure about your custom idea, but that's because I don't have a clear idea of how large that SHF kid Gohan is. I've never seen it in person. The upcoming Dragon Stars Omega Shenron will likely be very similar in size to the Jakks Omega Shenron: He has a July 7, 2023 release date: amzn.to/3LCHn3o

Yup. I don't even know if I want him, but you better believe I instantly pre-ordered him when I saw him. I had him pre-ordered before I made my post I already have the DeAgostini one, and I'm satisfied with the size of him since he fits in with the other DeAgostini figures. But... come on... this is a rare opportunity. I had to get him...

Bought a bootleg of shf Gohan in armor. It's a little bit shorter, better than the Irwin one. There's bootleg for shf Krillin in armor too. It's better than the Jakks one I guess, but too large for 5" anyway so I'll give it up. Tried smaller dwc head for Gohan, which I scratched the neck thinner, but the head look too small for shf body, and it's as tall as the real works Vegeta and Frieza I got. Overall shf Gohan is not very ok for 5 inches, but it's still a good base for custom Krillin in armor. Bought some more female shf, they're a bit shorter than Evolve Goku. They're the only choice for 5 inches collector anyway. Tried smaller cp head for Bulma, the size look a little bit better. The wcf head for Kefla is just a bit smaller than shf one. May be look a bit better to swap it... And the custom I made before I turned it to normal form. Bought two more old dragon archives. Just swap the head of Goku-Satan fusion on any Goku's body will be an easy custom for anyone (the Evolve body look too skinny), and the upper body of Roshi seems close to 5" scale. The frieza transforming now release is too small for 5" so I'm not going to buy it. But I'll sure buy Goku and Oolong transform for the next release.

Like you mentioned, I think the bootleg SHF Gohan in armor body would be good for a 5 inch scale Krillin in armor custom! That's the first SHF Kefla comparison I've seen with other SHF females or a 5 inch scale figure. I'm glad to see that. I wish they made a bootleg of her that was slightly smaller! I love your custom Kefla. What body did you use? I plan on beginning to customize again this summer, and Kefla is one of the characters I'd like to make the most! The Mr. Satan-Goku fusion looks pretty good. Thank you for these awesome comparison photos as always!!

I afraid that the chances of making bootlegs of any shf releases before Gohan and Krillin in armor are dwindling. Still waiting for bootleg of shf full power Jiren. The Evolve one is smaller than the DS or shf normal Jiren. I assume it's easy for them since they've already released a bootleg of shf Jiren. The figure I used for Kefla is the bootleg of Figma archetype she 02, which is too tall for db female customs. I only bought two to see how tall it is, and I already used one for Kefla and the upper body of the other one, so only one pair of legs left for the pic below. From left to right: Figma she 01, Figma he 01, Figma she 02, Figma he 02, SHF dx Figma she 01 has the best height for 5" female customs, which I always use. Figma he 01 look better for Kefla, just need to put some epoxy on its chest.

Thank you for that photo and information! I actually began working on a Caulifla yesterday. Maybe I'll bring my Work in Process Custom topic back from the dead soon!

cmakhk This is so great! I was wondering if the size of kefla SHF, the figma body, the namek gohan shf bootleg... would fit with irwin jakks collection! It's like you are reading my mind! haha! Thanks for answering my questions Where can i find a bootleg figma she 01? I want to make a son bra custom from dragon ball multivers (love this fan manga) and i think this body should work. Thanks again

I usually buy the bootlegs from taobao. Just search it on ebay, it seems that only bootlegs of figma she 02 is available. I don't know of any other way to buy it in the US. Maybe you can try figma she 02. You can give up the joint under the chest and cut away the middle part of upper body to make it shorter. The re-release of shf Frieza 1st form is selling a little bit cheaper than before, so I finally bought one. It is wider but a bit shorter than the Jakks one. Anyway, only this one or figure rise is available for the 5" collectors without space pod. And I tried smaller wcf head on it, look a little bit small on shf body as usual.

Bought a set of bootleg Piccolo's family. The egg of baby Piccolo and Cymbal are good for 5" and shf. The Piano is a little bit small but still fine for 5". And it give me a bigger head of Cymbal and Drum for customs. Here are comparison of rice cooker and kid Piccolo. The size of rice cooker from this set is better but I prefer the key chain one with a funny King Piccolo inside. The kid Piccolo is smaller than the other cheap bootleg, which is useless for me...maybe this is better for 5" scale? I'm not sure. And I bought a bootleg absorbing buu, quite scale with 5".

May be a Stupid question to ask, but what is that Kid Goku figure? the one with the Nimbus Cloud. Asking because I've been looking for a good Kid Goku figure, and I personally don't like the S.H. Figuarts Figure, but I really like this one that's pictured. (It's the one in the first and last pic) UPDATE: Never mind, I found it. From what some listing I saw, It has something that's a Magnet? (maybe the base? Idk), and besides Kid Goku, they also made a Kid Krillin, Bulma, Tien, Roshi & Yamcha, All based off the original Dragon Ball. I don't know if it's the same people or not, but I also saw some ones that said the same thing as the other ones did with the whole magnet thing, that are based off Dragon Ball Z Attachments:
