Our old friend Jakks Pacific's World of Nintendo line. Not sure if the DK or Bowser would scale well with the Nintendo Figmas or SH Figuarts Mario or not, but they look pretty good. toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=137&itemid=23112Looks pretty good to me.  I was skeptical about this line from the first announcement but at first glance these seem really well done. after looking at a few more images it seems like the Figma Link may be taller than Bowser. I don't even think I mind, this Bowser still looks pretty good. |

tough to make a suggestion here. I really think you need to sand each strand until they're all thin...but I'm well aware that will increase the chances of chipping. I can just see it happening, you sand it until it's the perfect width, set it down on the table, your hand slips and the figure falls and three of the strands crack. Hmm...I'm not sure. The strands just seem too thick.

eh...I plan on "spamming" by buying Broly three times...then I might send them a pic of the boxes and specifically mention the purchase was made to support a Nappa release. I had no plans to upload this, I just made this edit for my own viewing pleasure, but someone may want to post this on Facebook. I know I grabbed the image from here, I just can't remember who posted it. Credit to whoever originally made it.  |

ah...just what I wanted to see. It's great seeing every release like this. It's too bad the pic is so wide or I'd use it as my desktop background.

It looks like the bicep peg has been cracked off of the shoulder swivel...and if that's the case you may be out of options. It's nearly impossible to fix that kind of damage. Glue and everything else would only be a temporary fix because once the plastic joint is cracked it's very easy to crack it again regardless of what you do to stick it back on. More pics would help, it's hard to say with one image.

Anything here would be a candidate (assuming I had all the money in the world and could pick up anything I wanted). Marvel Legends Spider-Man vs Abomination two pack...the best Spider-Man figure ever made and a very cool Abomination.  Custom Marvel Legends Iron Man Iron Monger Chrome Airbrush repaint...the figure itself is pretty underwhelming but the repaint completely changes that. I can't help but get excited when I see this. I don't know who repainted it or who could match that quality but I'd love to have one like this someday.  Hot Toys Iron Man...well...any Hot Toys Marvel figure for that matter.  First 4 Figures Ganondorf...an astounding piece.  Custom Figuarts Tien by cleve5sp.  Custom Jakks Burter by Branjita.  SS Goku, SS Gohan, & SS Goten Movie 10 Triple Kamehameha resin statue...this thing drives me crazy. This may be the only realistic possibility on this list.  |

Somehow I missed all these pics...WOW. The gloss and the matte, and the face sculpt...what an awesome figure. I don't see the point in nitpicking the height when it has so much going for it. A massive 16 would have been cool but this is so much better than not getting the character at all.

I'd also like to know that...and if they improved the wrap around tail at all. I noticed the wrap around tail on the first Vegeta actually has a plastic joint that wasn't cast properly...I'm hoping they fixed that.

shifty, you can always do what I did and start selling your Jakks/Irwin stuff if you still have them. I didn't get as much as I originally spent but it was a good start...and if I remember correctly you have a fairly large Irwin/Jakks collection, you'd probably get a lot more.

I was just exaggerating but who can really say? It very well could become that valuable in the future.

shifftymking pretty much how I'm looking at it. I like being able to say "I gave 14 Marvel Legends figures for SDCC Goku". I don't want to wait three years and have to say "after intense bartering I managed to convince the eBay seller to lower the price on SDCC Goku to $700". ichiGO KUrosaki You won't regret it...I certainly don't. Well...maybe a little but it will pass once I get the box on my shelf.

@m5jagdragonpanzeriv Thanks a lot shifftymking Straight trade but everything combined was around $320 in value. The way I see it I avoided $30 in eBay fees and all the time and hassle of shipping everything. Tien2415 Nope...and unfortunately the box is in worse shape than the one I sold a few months ago but the joints are still fairly tight. |
