I ordered the Perfect Cell one recently to see if I could convert the face to a faceplate for the Figuarts Cell since I don't really like the default faces on it. Judging from this thread it seems like it's not gonna work but here's to hoping anyway.

Cool, make sure to post a picture of Adverge Cell's face right next to Figuarts Cell's face when you get it! I'm curious!

mogen Most likely much too small. But they should be perfect or acceptable for 5 inch scale Irwin/Jakks collections!!!

I'm not very happy about Adverge EX kid Piccolo's size or quality. These are not nearly as high quality as their promo pics imply, even though the symbol on his outfit is flawless. These aren't at WCF quality, and should not be close to or at WCF prices. The antennas are not inserted precisely... there's a casting line on the arm you can see... the head doesn't turn which is a shame for the price... and the eyes are not sculpted in, they are just spray painted on. And the size... the size is too small for my super perfectionistic collection. ssj2dakota told me he'd probably buy this from me. Bandai America '95 Pilaf... DWC bootleg Pilaf... Adverge kid Piccolo... Popy/Plex kid Piccolo  Popy/Plex Kid Piccolo... custom Pan... WCF bootleg (supposedly) Zeno... Adverge Kid Piccolo... Custom Cargo... Custom Dende... Custom Toddler Gohan  Custom Kid Goku... Adverge Kid Piccolo... Custom Oolong... Chara Puchi Oolong...  |

I should probably note, regarding my previous post, that as far as I know you're guaranteed to get one copy of every type per box - but I did only start getting them after it appears they stopped doing secret variants for now (like Super Saiyan 2 Gohan before). Zeno is a rare case where I'd actually want a second copy of the exact same thing. Anyway, two notable things: Adverge 7 is set for June, and is dipping into GT territory again  Previously, I wondered if they'd come up with excuses to redo the old figures, since the quality difference between the first three sets and the post-4 ones are not insignificant. They were already starting on the Androids' new outfits and it seems this is their answer for Bardock. Post with larger images.Also, the extra one in Adverge 6 this March that was being obscured before has been revealed, and it's You Know What Goku. I actually figured it would be Super Saiyan Bluer Vegeta since they're covering him this volume, so I'm kind of impressed. |

How big are these figures? I’m wondering if Bee would scale decently with the upcoming Figuarts Buu... |

kicksville what an awesome post! The site you linked to sure has great pics. crimsonking7 these figures are small. As you can see in my pics above, little kid Piccolo has a head that's 4.5 inch scale and a body that is pretty small. I think he's 38 mm tall. Bee will end up being absolutely tiny. Maybe 20 mm tall.

Cool post Branjita, very cool. It's been ages since I've seen you post such pictures where so many figures are standing together. Reminds me of your custom comparison pictures. I miss them and thank you for the pictures. I'm interested in getting this kid Piccolo as I've been wanting one for a very long time. They would have looked better if they were released in the wcf line but gotta be happy with something rather than nothing at all. Dragon Ball Adverge is a cool line. I'm just happy to see so many different figures from different brands for everything Dragon Ball related getting introduced, it just gives us so many options to choose from to fill in the gaps in the collection both scale and monetary wise. |

So here's Adverge 8, out in September.  And here's the Bandai Candy Toy blog with some bigger images (you have to scroll down past the Dragon Children Vol 2 stuff). There's a Nappa variant with hair from the Bardock special. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the different poses since I generally prefer static line ups with these figures, but I can understand wanting not to have too many samey Gokus while...still working Goku into there as often as possible. He sells! |

Li-Shenlong looks great. Nappa with hair is unexpected.. but awesome!
