Thanks Branjita!
Now i can see the difference between the legit one and the bootleg ones!
I think i'm going to try it. The seller sells yamcha, vegeta, piccolo and raditz for 12 euros + shipping. I will keep yamcha and resell the other three...
I have found that kid gohan you are speaking of!
But i've also found the ab one (the articulated one). What do you think?
This Pan is great too for a custom, right?

jibi the articulated AB Toddler Gohan has a body that's too big. I used to own him. The Jakks body is good, but for the price... the bootleg Adverge body is much better... even if it does lack a tail.  I sold my adverge bootleg Pan. I didn't see her as being useful. I kept the DBGT SS Kid Goku to use his body for Pan I think. I technically have an old custom Pan, but I don't think I did a very good job on her. I made her from Irwin's SS Goten and SS Trunks.

Oh, by the way, have you considered just getting the AB/Giochi Preziosi Yamcha? His size is great. His face is just ugly, so that's why I no longer own one. His hair is in a pony tail.  The AB/GP Yajirobe is my favorite.  I hated the Nappa   |

Thanks for the comparison picture! I will pass on the ab gohan and focus on the adverge bootleg  I have that yamcha from ab and... i hate him lol (I 'm trying to sell him!) I like the irwin yajirobe but i think we have to fix one of his eyes... I think I will end up doing it in the future |

I did some tests I mixed my two chaozu. Not perfect (the arms are too long) but better.  I tried the ssj2 gohan (electronic version) head on a regular ssj gohan. Pretty bad... 
So i tried the chara puchi head. Also bad...   And here is my Gohan ssj from GT. Just use some giochi preziosi parts i had. It's okay.  |

Hello again! Here are my new works: Goku sbc 1&2 with "blue shirt" (for my namek shelf). Just an easy recolor. I use some extra bootleg shirt I like sbc figure because i used to collect them when i was a child. They bring me back memories!  And here is my saiyan saga Yamcha! Finally, that wcf Yamcha is pretty great for the job! I'm happy. The skin tone is really good and the hair fits perfectly! He looks like Yamcha, Right? Now i need to find another krilin super dragon star because i only have one for two heads x)   |

Hello There! My last easy customs: krillin saiyan saga, Chaozu and kid Gohan. I decided to save money on krillin. Exit HSCF krillin or other ideas for now; i just swap the head, i use a chara puchi one. Not perfect (the arms are too long) but much better. I think I will shorten the arms in the future. I upgrade Chaozu with a chara puchi head. Much better than the original or the shf one i tried before. I'm happy with it. I know it's not the good cloth version but it's okay, this Chaozu joined the saiyan saga shelf! About Gohan, I had found the gohan adverge bootleg one but the seller never answered me so i tried the ab toys. For 3 euros + shipping (like the chara puchi) I did not take a big risk. Like Krillin, I will shorten the arms and the legs in the future! If i find a gohan adverge bootleg i will switch the body but for now it's ok...  |

I'm impressed and surprised by how good that DWC Yamcha head looks on that Krillin body! Did that DWC Yamcha end up being an authentic one? Or was it a bootleg?
The others all look good too! Sometimes head swaps are the best types of customs because they don't take hours and hours of time to make them look right! You definitely got rid of some giant heads and put some much better scaled ones.

Branjita Thanks! That DWC yamcha is a bootleg, for sure. But a "good" one like you show on pictures I'm really satisfied with my 2 yamcha customs. Sometimes... i come up with great ideas!  The next custom will be Dende and I will be done with the big heads! Or not... i have to take care of gotenks too!

Hello Friends, Just wanted to show you my new namek vegeta (giochi preziosi kid gohan's body + giochi preziosi vegeta's head) and my new guldo. Nothing fanzy but better than ultimate figure series vegeta and demoniacal fit guldo... or not! What do you think?   |

Hello! Here is my ssj 3 vegeta. Easy custom, giochi preziosi figure + hscf vegeta ssj3 bootleg head. I will change the body with another vegeta giochi preziosi figure, the one with the articulated feet. I just have to find one   I think the face would be great for an ultra ego vegeta... (you can remove the hair)   |

Now i need to find another krilin super dragon star because i only have one for two heads x) I appreciate simple creativity. The first thing that popped into my mind when they made another massive Krillin was a possible Yamcha. And this one didn't have the blue undershirt to worry about. I think the combination looks great, even if it looks like Yamcha had a slight haircut. |
