I might be in the minority here, but he would have looked far better as a statue. The super articulated arms on a near jointless body looks really strange. It’s size is impressive though. I shan’t be buying it, but it is nice to have in the line. I’m liking the more obscure character choices we’re getting these days.

He looks kind of like a model kit but I'm pleasantly surprised by his size.

wow they really screwed up at giving Porunga's scale info I'm glad he is a bigger guy now, well as big as he can get without being in 1:1 scale lol his price is still a pain (spanish distributor gave a wrong price in the first place and he got more expensive lol) but seeing how he is a 42cm from base to fin (and 28cm from base to head I think?) the price is a little less painful. Personally I'm glad they made an articulated version of him, I'm not fan of statues, and there are some options out there already Turles looks AWESOME btw, one step closer to have Tapion PLEASE Bandai

I do wish the tail was articulated like in the prototype. Maybe they thought this was the better decision.

I won't buy Porunga either.
But First Form Cell and Turles, however? I'm in!

Maybe they thought this was the better decision. the old proto looked like those wooden snake toys I'm glad they went for a more aesthetically direction but I understand what you mean. The old Shenron proto and his articulation were all over the place too and then they decided to give less joints and more aesthetics, I think they really reached successfully the middle ground when it comes to articulation and aesthetics but maybe that just me

I actually have one of those wooden snake toys lol. I was thinking that maybe an experienced customizer would be able to splice them together when it’s released. It would be interesting to see how it would turn out.

Is Porunga not going to be released on P-Bandai USA? I don't think I'm going to get him, a bit too much at once for me for one figure, but its still weird he hasn't shown up on there I don't think?
Turles looks amazing ^^ I don't even really care that much for the character but I'll probably grab him, been thinking of getting the Gammas and they all release the same month lol. Surprised we got Turles before Janemba, guess he was a simpler release though

I won't buy Porunga either. Buy him, or you will be banned. Haha, just kidding 😉 Or am I?

I'm still hoping and praying that a third party reveals a Gohan accessory pack soon so I don't HAVE to buy the Gammas >~<

On a separate note, I'm concerned about my Zarbon. When did he ship in the US?

Mine were shipped Tuesday and delivered Wednesday, but I live right next to where they come from.

Right. Mine's being shipped from New York via eBay International Standard shipping or something like that. I checked and he still hasn't shipped. I was just curious.

We should all erect shrines in the middle of our living rooms for him to sit on and we will all pray to our almighty dragon god. Or don’t.

If they reveal Androids 13 14 & 15 next then I’ll really lose my sh!t. And I’m not even that big a fan of those characters but I’ll admit an SHF of Super Android 13 would look pretty dope & unique
