After watching DBS: Super Hero and taking some photos of their size difference, it looks like the Evolve Piccolo is quite a bit smaller than he needs to be in both reference pics I was able to get of the two of them standing together. Does anyone own both Evolve SS Gohan AND the Piccolo from the 2-pack with Gamma 2? I'd love to see a side-by-side photo of them together.  The Evolve Piccolo still looks like it will be a great figure, but the sizing being so far off is disappointing. I wish they could have made him larger and spread his legs apart in the packaging so he'd still fit in the blister. Oddly enough, it looks like just replacing his legs with a much larger Piccolo's legs would fix the majority of the height problem. The arms will be too short at this point though, so you'd need arms from some other Piccolo. I'll order a second Piccolo just in case I want to try doing this.  |

A little more work based on other comparison photos to figure out how big SH Figuarts Piccolo, Dragon Stars Piccolo, and Evolve Piccolo would be next to Evolve SS Gohan. I think the Dragon Stars one will work very well for a Piccolo Power Awakening figure after repainting his skin yellowish and his belt black. His arm detailing seems faint enough that I won't bother to smooth it out most likely.   I'm going to go ahead and order one. Here's a link if anyone needs it: amzn.to/48oSOoH luckily it is on sale today. |

The idea of using Limit Breaker Series to customize other big characters is great, I wonder if there are any other customs based on this line.

The Target exclusive Ultimate Gohan has been spotted at Target as of yesterday (10/1/2023). I first saw it on roccothegreatart's instagram, and a seller on ebay named buccs223344 has him on ebay for the absurd price of $39.98. Here are his photos:    It has not been added to Target's website yet. |

I wish we would get Captain Ginyu, Raditz and base Goku for this line.

Raditz and Captain Ginyu would be too small to scale well with other figures (since they are pretty large characters) if they were made in Evolve instead of Dragon Stars. But are you wanting them in this line specifically for how much better the articulation is on Evolve figures than Dragon Stars figures?
At this point, my most desired figures for the Evolve line (that I think are realistic based on what has been made already) are: SS2 Kefla, Android 17, and SS Rose Goku Black.
My less realistic, most desired figures are actually: base Caulifla, base Kale, SS2 Kefla.
The figure I am shocked we don't have yet is: Super Saiyan God Goku.

Yeah partly I'm wanting them for articulation but also for my scale preferences with those characters. I don't own Evolve Jiren but from what I've seen his scale seems like it could be passable for Raditz at least since It's about a head taller than Evolve Goku which is how Raditz scaled in the anime and I don't mind Ginyu being that size as well since that's how he scaled in the Budokai games even though he was way bigger in the anime. |

Always thought it was ridiculous that Dragon Stars made their only Super Saiyan God Goku a 3 pack convention exclusive. Bandai American should do an Evolve figure as a compensation prize… |

chaotic Yeah, Raditz is not massively taller than Piccolo or Jiren, but his hair sticks up a lot, making him pretty tall. I'm not sure if a 5 inch scale Raditz would fit in the blister. I still have a blister at home... I'll see if Irwin Raditz would fit in it sometime later this week perhaps. A Dragon Stars Raditz would definitely be too big for a 5 inch scale collection... the Dragon Stars Nappa is actually a bit tall for one as well... though a lot closer than the too-small Irwin Nappa.

Dragon Stars Vegeta Scouter can be custom Raditz with their arms and legs shortened.

1mot I'm sure it will be easy to find Ultimate Gohan. He's only been listed on ebay twice, so he must not be in too many physical stores yet. According to brickseek.com/target-inventory-checker?sku=323-08-8900 he isn't in stock in any of the 20 Target stores closest to my zip code, so he just simply isn't at these stores yet. In other news, I noticed last week that Target has removed the Evolve SS Goku from their website, so they must be out of online stock of him, or something similar. I haven't seen him in either of the Target stores I go inside of from time to time for a couple months, so that's probably good news for us. I am hoping to be able to find Gohan this week, so when my Piccolo arrives, I can review both at the same time.
