could anyone tell me why searching for 'the figure collection' is so difficult. i literally love the look of these figures and id like to try and get them, but searching for them seems impossible for me, i never find the results i want and any info regarding the line doesnt seem to be easily available either. could anyone give me a push in the right direction? (just trying to start collecting, so please be gentle) I also noticed that some of you mentioned the resurrection of F Gohan figure for cheap, upon searching amazon i found one, the DXF figure, but i thought that was a different line all together, am i wrong or is that the same as "the figure collection" well, it is a bit confusing. The line original name in Japanese is Chozoshu/Chouzoushu, and at first when the Resurrection F figures came out tons of people mixed it up with the DXF line, and some others translated it in some wierd way (most common wrong translation: Super Structure Collection/Super Figure Collection). Since the DBZ Vegeta figure they wrote the official name of the line in English on the box, which is The Figure Collection. But some people still mistranslate it or call it DXF, which it isn't. When I search for it online (usually on ebay) I just search all kinds of different names, even though the official name is "The Figure Collection" some people don't know it, so they list it as DXF/Super Structure Collection/'Banpreto Figure' etc... Thanks so much for trying to clear that up, its really quite frustrating as its such a good looking line, i don't want to buy the wrong figures. So correct me if i'm wrong here, a piece labeled as a DXF figure that looks like the 'figure collection' piece, is most likely what i'm looking for? And to cla rify, the DFX line isn't making similar figures at all, right? just that sellers are mislabeling them? |

And to cla rify, the DFX line isn't making similar figures at all, right? just that sellers are mislabeling them? There was a DXF line for DBZ by Banpresto, which included the BoG series (SSG Goku, SS Vegeta, Beerus, Whis), Fighting Comination series (SS Goku, SS3 Gotenks, Majin Vegeta, Ultimate Gohan, fat Majin Buu, Kid Buu) and DBHeroes series (SS3 Goku, SS3 Vegeta, SS4 Goku). After that the line died and Banpresto came out with a new line called "The Figure Collection" which up untile now has the RF series, Z series and Super series. Bothe of the lines are in the same scale. I might do a checklist vey soon on the first post of the thread when I'll have the time to do so. If you need any help to figure out which of the lines a figure belongs to you're welcomed to ask here or send me a PM and I'll try my best to help. |

DXF - Battle of Gods Vol. 1 SSG Goku (on the left) The Figure Colletion - Dragon Ball Super Vol. 1 SSG Goku (on the right)  You can see they're very alike, but there are still few differences (New stand, no floating feet, new head sculpt, different colors and shading, kanji placed differently) Is that your picture? Because I was wondering if their heads were the same size or not. |

I want every figure in this line since its so perfect but at the same time i dont want to have 5 different Goku figures on the same shelf ;_;
also, does anyone have a picture of one of these scaling with Ichiban Kuji Broly?
A figuarts with Kuji Broly will work too since they are similar scale

Next month, come these two. I look forward.   The DXF Oozaru (released december) is much too small for my taste, to him I will renounce.  |
