THANK OUR GREEN GOD IN THE LOOKOUT!
Sorry, I had mine pre-ordered from Toywiz, and they are awful AWFUL sellers. I asked a few weeks ago whether anything was happening and whether they planned on doing some basic communication with their customers (since my order still said ships march and I had to navigate to the product page to get updated info) and I was told that they couldn't be bothered to email people about every change, or even to set up the order details to update using a database. But with the secondhand costs I thought I was stuck.
*does a little dance* I'm free of Toywiz, I'm free I'm free I'M FREE.

Yep, this whole thing has been a massive headache, but the wait was totally worth it. If all goes well, I should have mine by Monday, Tuesday at the latest.
Thanks a million for the heads up futureztrunks67, you're a lifesaver!

So glad to finally have these! I'll do a write up with some pictures a little later, but the basic gist of it is that it's a mixed bag. Vegeta is outright terrible, and Zamasu looks good but literally can't move his legs forward. However, Goku Black is the absolute shining star of this wave, and I would say is a very good alternative to the Figuarts. Merged Zamasu is not great when you put him together, but could possibly be improved with some doctoring, which I'll look into later. While I vastly would have preferred his non melty faced form, he still does look excellent.

I’ve only read the manga, but there’s no melty Two-face Zamas in that version. Anyway, I agree with everything you said.

Alright, starting off, I made some modifications to Merged and regular Zamasu. Their lack of being able to move their legs forward was killing me, so I popped off the legs and came up with a solution. I straight up carved out large chunks of plastic to make some clearance for the hips to move. Now you may be saying to yourself "that looks god awful, I don't care that it allows the legs to move, it aesthetically ruins the figure." And you would be right...if not for the giant skirt piece that completely hides the hideous hack job. This is what Zamazu's legs look like straight down. And all the way forward. It's not the greatest range of motion in the world, but mind you A. There's a skirt piece that hinders his movement. And B. He couldn't move his legs forward at all before, so I'd say that's an improvement. Just look at him go now! I also cut a seem in the front of Merged Zamasu's skirt, and it really helps the mobility. I gave him regular Zamasu's ki blade as well, and I think it very much completes the look. Man I am stoked to finally have a figure of Black, he looks great! His range for his legs isn't amazing, but I'm also not compelled to try and "fix" him, if that means anything. He's also got a major improvement on the floating shirt pieces by his shoulders. Blue Goku already took a step in the right direction, by making them floating pieces instead of being molded onto the arm, but they were made of thick, barely bendable plastic. This made it very difficult or even impossible to get Goku into certain poses. Black's shirt pieces are nice an gummy though, so they don't get in the way of any posing. Like I said before, if you can't get your hands on Figuarts Black, but still want a 6inch figure of him, Dragon Stars Black is pretty cool. They may not be the best Dragon Ball figures, but I'm still quite pleased with them. If there's anything you guys want a picture of with these, let me know. I have a decent amount of Figuarts too, so if you would like a comparison, I can do that too.

I gasped when I saw those mutilated legs, but is a good solution.

That may be a bit of a hack job, but it sure looks like it improves the figures!! I wish these figures had better looking feet/boots. They are a bit bulbous.
I've been looking for Rose, but haven't seen one yet. It's definitely getting harder to find these. I've checked a Target and Walgreens in a different part of town and they didn't carry these figures. The Target near me doesn't, and the Walgreens near me still just has 3 SS Vegetas and the 1 Frieza I returned (because I didn't find a buyer on ebay). I checked a different Gamestop a couple weeks ago and they just had Zamasu and the white haired SS Goku.
The distribution of these kind of reminds me of ~2004 when Jakks DBZ figures stopped being carried by just about every retailer except Toys R Us. It made them impossible to find outside of TRU in my area, and I never went to TRU, because it was far from where I lived.

I order mine just a few days ago and I got them for that price, I didn't need the Black figure, just the baf piece so I'm thinking of selling him on ebay for like $15-18 maybe even Vegeta blue.
