Picked up Dragon Stars Perfect Cell today. I love him. He's immaculate. I also picked him up in the Limit Breakers series. It's not as cool, but still a great figure. yep this is the best cell so far in the market. SHF one has eyes that looked like he did cocaine, the figure rise has chubby cheeks. The only thing that sucks hes not as articulate.

Who knows. I'm hoping for a SHF Cell V2.0. I have high hopes for Dragon Stars one day.

Seeing how well their newest announcements turned out appearance-wise (Cui, Mecha, Cold, etc.), I have strong confidence a Perfect Cell 2.0 would look.... well, PERFECT.

I finally found a Jakks SS Vegeta for a reasonable price (from a seller in China who has typically sold factory rejects for over a decade) on ebay, so I bought it, as well as the Win8fong Goku the same seller had. Jakks SS Vegeta and Win8fong Goku I had to put the figure in freshly boiled water and adjust his head, because his head was shoved too deeply on his neck peg. It's still a little low, but that's where it snaps into place. Is that why this was a factory reject? I'm not sure. Since I don't own the retail release of this figure, I don't know if this weird quirk exists on the retail figure... but the back side of his armor doesn't have any gray shading on it, which looks weird since the top half of his chest is so deeply shaded gray. I was never interested in this figure when it was new and in stores 20 years ago, because he was released during a time period when Jakks was releasing tons of head swaps and variations that were annoying to me (and other collectors). But around 10 years ago, someone on here mentioned that it's basically a "What If?" figure. Essentially, this is what Vegeta would have looked like if he went Super Saiyan on Planet Namek instead of getting killed by Frieza. When I thought about that, I thought the idea of it was really cool. So I've been casually looking for one for several years now. Here he is with my two of my old custom figures. Someday I need to repaint the black outfit on the middle one navy blue. Since the one on the right is a Super Saiyan, I am okay with his blue being lighter, but I kind of think he needs it thin wash of darker blue, and I likely will repaint the stomach armor and sculpt over the toe lines at some point... if I decide I care. Right now, he's going directly in my display cabinet.

Went to my Toys 'R' Us Canada today before my singing lesson. There IS an upside to Canada being a bit behind on releases. Saw Dragon Ball Evolves today, well I saw Ultra Instinct Goku. I poked around on the peg, going "I swear, if they have Golden Frieza....." And lo and behold, he was there all right. Ended up walking out with all 3 figures in that wave

Beerus is one of the best IMO, good catch!

Heck they even had the old Broly I used to own from the first set. And I almost jumped on SS Trunks, but decided Goku and Beerus were enough, for now anyway

futureztrunks67 that's a good figure! And the real battle damage (other than hair missing paint) seems appropriate for Majin Vegeta.

4 new irwin figures for my collection. I got them at a collecting fair in Buenos Aires along with other SBC figures that I showed in their respective subforum. The quality they have is very nice!! imgur.com/a/wM2k8eT

Very happy right now, got another one of my grails: Jakks Super 17! This is the two pack version, and I got it for only $35! The catch as you could’ve guessed, is that he is missing a hand. Considering he has an attack where he removes a hand, this is acceptable to me. Unsure how to go about replacing it, as most Dragon Stars hands i’ve tested are too small, and the open hands fingers are too stubby to match the Jakks one.
