Collectibles Dragonball

[Snake Plissken]

Did they ever do the big version of Casey or Splinter?

 

[Darth Maul]

Not yet, no. I think they’re waiting to do Casey when they make the unmasked version with a swappable head. Elias finally gave them the green light. I think they’re also working on April. She and Danny may be in the final two pack? For the first film obviously.

The Master is not likely to be made. Toshishiro Obata is old as dirt now and doesn’t likely give two fucks about his role in TMNT anymore. He’s a descendant of samurai and is a martial arts master. I doubt he’s concerned about toys. If it took this long for Neca to get Elias on board, there is no way Toshishiro is getting a figure.

 

[Darth Maul]

Wow, the “Sign” Goku is going for $110 to $150 to a whopping $200 on eBay. This is fucking pathetic. You’re all basement dwelling, Cheeto eating, Mountain Dew chugging losers who need to be kneecapped.

 

[Snake Plissken]

 

[Darth Maul]

Getting all three!

 

[Darth Maul]

I prefer this version of Lunch, but you know she’s gonna have the blonde version as an SDCC exclusive next year.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Unless it comes with it.

 

[Darth Maul]

I seriously doubt it. Tamashii is all in, when it comes to exclusives. They can’t stop themselves. I really hope they see the backlash of this little fiasco though and pull the breaks on it a little more in the future.

This is one line where I don’t think you need to be doing exclusives of characters that most people want or need. If you want to do reissues or premium color editions or whatever... fine. Last year’s exclusives were okay, with the exception of Kid Goku, who you kinda need in his blue gi.

 

[The J-Bot]

You can’t even collect the Neca TMNT stuff right now. It’s impossible. Your only option is literally ebay. Or if you live in a place with REALLY good toy isles.

It really is fucking annoying. I'm not big into Neca, but I'd like to get the TMNT movie figs if I could find them.

I'm sure not jumping through hoops to get toys that are supposed to be mass produced, yet Wal-marts are apparently only getting 1 or 2 Casey Jones/Raph sets in at a time.

I collect art prints, and there's a similar level of annoyance with ordering those. A print will have an edition of 50 and sells out within a minute or two. It sucks when collecting feels like more of a hassle than a joy sometimes.

 

[Darth Maul]

Yep, going forward, once everything I have ordered is shipped and done, I’m sticking almost entirely to Figuarts Dragon Ball and Hasbro Marvel Legends type stuff. That’s it.

I’m waiting on Hot Toys to make Padawan Obi-Wan and for a third party company to make an Atomic Blonde figure. Outside of that, what I have on order is the culmination of many years worth of collecting.

As for Neca, I’m going to be avoiding them as much as I can. Randy is a complete douchebag and that company is undeserving of its fanbase. I’m debating on whether I’m even going to bother trying to pick up the Movie Footsoldier 2 pack. Outside of that, Drake from Aliens (the film) is all I’m lacking for my displays. No interest in anything else. I don’t see them doing a Danny Glover figure for Predator 2. So, I’m good.

I’m actually trying to thin my collection out a tad again. I’m selling some anime figures and like 2/3 of my Banpresto Dragon Ball figures.

 

[Snake Plissken]

 

[Snake Plissken]

I ordered Jackie Chun, King Piccolo and Tao. With the P Bandai stuff that brings my lot to 98. I need Ape Vegeta, Skirt Bulma and Manga Bulma and it's caught up.

 

[Darth Maul]

Better get another Omen Goku while you can. Pre-orders have been set to run through the 31st. They must’ve listened to the “made to order” requests.

Frankly, I wish that’s how they would do all of these exclusives. And if they really want to do event exclusives, just have different packaging and an alternate paint deco for the figures—cell shaded, for example.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I might do that, not sure.

I might stream Friday night and unbox all three of them.

 

[Darth Maul]

Don’t use EKnight Media, if you want to keep these things in pristine condition. These guys shipped the spare Rage Broly that I ordered in an amazon envelope. It’s not crushed, but it did it no favors.

Go with Toy Arena and ToyzInTheBox. I don’t think shipping is too bad on either site and I’m pretty sure I haven’t paid tax on either one to boot.

 

[The J-Bot]

I’m actually trying to thin my collection out a tad again. I’m selling some anime figures and like 2/3 of my Banpresto Dragon Ball figures.

What Banpresto figures are you selling?

 

[Darth Maul]

I’ve got:

FES SSJ Goku (the crane pose)
FES Ultra Instinct Goku (flying kick)
FES SSJ Blue Goku (in Whis gi doing the kick)
FES Rose Goku Black
Ultimate Soldiers Broly Movie Rage Broly
Ultimate Soldiers SSJ Blue Goku
Ultimate Soldiers SSJ Blue Vegeta

DB Heroes SSJ Blue Vegito
Colosseum Goku (classic Saiyan Saga stance)
Colosseum SSJ Gogeta (doing ki blast)

DXF SSJ Vegetto
DXF Goku Black


Sold the other half already. Also looking to sell the Toybiz Marvel Legends Sentinel, the first Play Arts Kai Remake Cloud, the Figuarts Mandalorian (sealed) and the Season 1 Jon Snow from ThreeZero.

Gonna have to ebay it, I think. Shipping prices are so high that I can’t justify trying to guess the cost. Needs to be predetermine with the calculator.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Ordered Ginyu finally. With tax and shipping there was no point in waiting.

They're not shipping those exclusives until the 19th.

 

[Darth Maul]

Why so long? I got the email saying something about August 4th we are being charged?

 

[Snake Plissken]

The email I got said the 19th.
