So my Trunks (Super Version) Sheath just randomly broke inside his back. anyone ever had this happen before? I’m pissed off Been an issue on all Trunks figures other than the Cell Saga version. I've only ever broken PC Trunks, but I personally recommend pulling the peg out of his back (after heating it up with warm water or hair dryer,) then gluing the peg back onto the sheath with cement glue. Tamashii Nations Quality strikes again. What glue do you recommend?

I had the exact same thing happen to one of my original release Trunks figuarts. I remedied it with a small glob of blue-tac, I think? Not the world's most elegant solution, but it is sure effective!

Does anyone know if there's ever been a bootleg Whis? There's one on ebay for a not bad price (still close to the current pricing for a legit Whis), but it doesn't have the small, shiny rectangular tamashii sticker. The box looks legit but a lot of bootleg boxes look legit The lack of sticker is throwing me off, because they're hard to get off the boxes.

It's possible the sticker was peeled off or never put on the box to begin with. What's the seller asking for and what condition is he in? I've seen Whis at anywhere from $80-$120. There's never been a fake of Beerus or Whis to my knowing and even if there were, it's likely Legend Creation would be the ones behind them, due to them being more common nowadays than the unknown company from many years ago. If the figure is only $20-$30 coming out of China with more than 10 available and anywhere from 50-200 sold, it's probably fake.

It works out at around $100. It's marked as new and sealed, but new Whis is packaged with 2 clenched fists is it not? This one has the two fists for holding the staff. Thanks Dipper. Appreciated.

I second the "avoid if made in China bit". I am never buying figures from them again, they're almost never the real thing.

Wow it’s crazy how Whis has shot up in price. Which is ironic because the figure itself is average at best; he barely has any mobility, his tunic hinders his leg movement (his knees have joints but they are useless). Although he is an essential character to have, you can only pose it in a handful of ways
I know Whis isn’t really known for any dynamic fighting poses, but it would’ve been nice if the figure was engineered so we can do some fighting poses ourselves

I wonder. Could it be indirectly related to Super being trash?

In my opinion the only usefulness any bootleg figure from China has is for custom fodder. Need a couple extra heads that you want to customize but don’t wanna pay full price for another figure? Buy the knockoff version for $20. There’s no risk involved when you’re customizing it for extra parts for your legit version lol. You can damage it, repaint it, practice with it, anything you want & won’t hurt your wallet

That's pretty much it. I myself thought of buying a bootleg Ginyu (Demoniacal Fit, I think?) for a King Cold custom. But meh, it'd be a waste. It'd be even less of a real Cold figure than the Mexican bootleg (which is actually pretty cool)

I hope Beerus and Whis get a rerelease someday, even if Whis is a mediocre figure I'd still really like the two of them, I still hesistate on spending more than $100 for a single figure though so I probably won't get them till a rerelease lol. : p
And that's exactly why I want to get a couple bootlegs lol, I want to try customizing figures but I would never want to try with an official ye because I don't want to ruin one lol
I've had the idea of getting a bootleg Jiren to make an El Hermano, because like even if it comes out bad I feel like that would just add to it lol
