Normal Broly looks AMAZING. I know well likely get 20 variants of the shirtless Hulked out version, but sign me up for a figuarts of base form please.

I highly doubt that Saiyan in the teaser was a newly redesigned Broly Thats way too dramatic of a makeover for such an iconic character in the series Why? We know that this Broly is straight up a reboot, and everything we've heard about the art direction for this movie is that they're trying to go out of their way to shake things up. Additionally, we know Toriyama took a direct hand in shaping this new version... and if he changed things about the design, I doubt they'd argue. I'm... cautiously optimistic. If they can undo the stupid baby crying nonsense, I'll happily accept Broly into official canon.

Ok, but are we talking about this? Or something else? I need that clarification to make sure we're talking about the same accessory. Because if it is, that's the stone Roshi threw into the woods as one of his first tests of Krillin and Goku.

Are you talking about the stone? The first test Roshi gave Goku and Krillin?

"aucun" means "No" or likely "Nothing" in this case. I had to google translate that one, tbf

So I'm looking over that list... and I'm not sure whether I'm glad to not see Bardock or not. As has been stated, that could mean he's actively being worked on, but... meh.
Also, why are the Ninja Turtles on a list of DB characters?

So this was a whole thing. Ok, so after doing the whole thing with the legs, I got the new head in. However, for a variety of reasons (mostly due to the better head sculpt) I got the SSJ Cabba WCF figure... which I had to shave the eyebrows off of because Cabba gains 500% more eyebrow in SSJ form then he does in his base form (and I do TRY to keep to Base form for most of my Saiyans). Ended up repainting the entire figure, since the color choices... they're based on him being in his SSJ form to simulate him glowing, but they're just not good.

I may have glued the feet on straighter than they were originally, but I believe there's ball joints there and the hips do rotate. Honestly, as big as that head is, I'm just happy he stands tbh.

For the first seven, assuming we're trying to hit the major players... I wanna say King Piccolo, Yamcha/Puar, maybe Tien/Chiotzu. I kind of want a pilaf too (he could maybe be a pack-in with Piccolo but I'd prefer that space be taken by more Piccolo accessories) but as far as figures I feel those three, even sans their tagalongs, are the most suited for articulated figures.
That said, I suspect we're sticking to early DB, so if this wave is purely up to 21st Budokai (which... frankly I kind of hope it is? It means it's likely to be more "complete" if they do sets of seven, even if it does mean waiting longer for characters I actually want to buy) I'd say Chun, Yamcha, and maybe a Pilaf 3 pack.

So I don't have the heart to go into the insanity that's been Popo RN, except to say it's taken some turns lately and I want to leave it there. In more recent news, working on fixing the... insanity that is Dragon Stars Cabba. I cut his legs apart at the boot tops and at the end of his shorts, ground off a reasonable amount (not a ton, but enough to make him shorter and less lanky) then filled the gaps with clay. I was going to sand down and just repaint it... but that bulbous head finally annoyed me enough that I purchased a WCF Cabba head. I've also begun work on a custom Bulma (because FU Figuarts I want Buu saga Bulma). I've got some rough plans for how to do it, but RN I'm mostly waiting on a bunch of 3d printed bits I'm going to use for some addons.

So I got the first half of the Kale wave awhile back... some thoughts:
Vegito- I really wasn't that interested in Vegito (or in ANY of the figures in part two of the wave, but they can potentially be custom fodder down the line) but even though I was never going to replace the figuarts one, MAN was I disappointed in Vegito. His face is just squashed. I dunno if anyone else had that issue, but in a wave with a TON of oversized heads, Vegito managed to have too tiny a head.
Jiren- Easily the best of the three. He's a bit boring on paint, but I'm meh on the character and the paint job is good enough for what his outfit required.
Cabba- HO BOY Cabba. So for those who haven't seen my facebook (or the post I'll be making after this) Cabba was a bit... FREAKING HUGE for my taste, and I've been working on correcting the issue. I've cut his legs down to more manageable length (he's just a bit taller than figuarts Krillin) and I just invested in a WCF figure to swap out the head for something more proportional.

I'm still of the mindset that Bardock and Raditz are the two big MUSTS for this line. I want a Mai too, but I'd rather have a proper Bulma and Chi Chi.

THANK OUR GREEN GOD IN THE LOOKOUT!
Sorry, I had mine pre-ordered from Toywiz, and they are awful AWFUL sellers. I asked a few weeks ago whether anything was happening and whether they planned on doing some basic communication with their customers (since my order still said ships march and I had to navigate to the product page to get updated info) and I was told that they couldn't be bothered to email people about every change, or even to set up the order details to update using a database. But with the secondhand costs I thought I was stuck.
*does a little dance* I'm free of Toywiz, I'm free I'm free I'M FREE.

Oh hey, at least now it's got a hairstyle that doesn't look like rolls of play dough smashed together. Neat.
... Sorry, that was a bit salty of me. The news about Gotenks has me in a foul mood, especially after the fiasco surrounding Black.
