Bardock already sold out on Amiami. Popped up yesterday and didn’t even notice. I’m wondering if he’ll be up for pre-order on BBTS or PBandai.

Grandista Omen Goku is up for pre-order, if anyone cares. As of right now, that’s my last of the statue figures. Unless they decide to finally pop out a Beerus, non-battle damaged Jiren and Saiyan Saga battle pose Vegeta.

I think it looks fine, for the most part. One of his shoulder joints looks wonky in one pic and his face seems a little too flat, like a Demoniacal Fit figure.

Other than those two things, and maybe the lack of an energy effect, I think he’s decent. It’s probably the only Bardock we’re ever going to get. Jump on it now while you can. May as well get two, since you know Demoniacal Fit will be doing the SSJ version heads.

Got Ginyu. Very nice but I'm asking the seller why the fuck the box was double taped. The joints are too loose.

Oh yeah, they definitely opened it then. Wouldn’t doubt what they probably took toy photography and/or did a review on it and slapped it up on eBay afterwards. People do that with 1/6 figures. Or they used to.

As often as I bitch about BBTS, when they’re overtly gouging, I still prefer to use them for the cheap shipping cost and the guarantee that what I’m buying will come in the same shape they receive it.

Wasn’t going to get that. Avoided all the reviews so far. Just seeing your thumbnail and then hearing you praise it so much. Ugh. I can’t deny it looks good, I just don’t care for the Ginyu Force. Seems well made too, the armor pads excluded.

They’re only doing four total figures. I may as well just get them to have some Namek Saga figures. I kinda wish they would slow down with this line and only do one figure every other month.

I’m also on the fence about Jackie Chun. It’s been ages since I watched the original series, but was he predominantly featured in it? Is it even worth having him on the shelf if I already have Master Roshi? I already blew money completing the Dragon Ball set for Shenron by getting both Bulmas and that ridiculous Tao Pai Pai.



By the way, I’ve been seeing a SHIT TON of QC issues come up for older 1/6 figures, many of which I own, and it’s really making me just want to sell off my entire 1/6 collection, or at least everything but the Preds, Star Wars and Batman stuff. Might keep the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Everything else would have to go. So much damn pleather in this hobby. Makes me want to vomit thinking of the money spent on this shit, only for it to deteriorate after a handful of years have passed.

Jackie Chun was only at the first world tournament as far as I'm aware. My memory of DB is very vague. It's an okay figure I guess but nothing remarkable. King Piccolo is pretty great and his height is gigantic, and I hope the new Piccolo is that tall since he's always been underscaled.

Undecided on if I’ll get Jackie Chun or not. Already have two Bulmas and Kid Gokus.

Also, I don’t think Piccolo will be as big as King Piccolo, as he is way too tall. He’s close to twice the size of the adult Goku figures. If he is, it will be utterly and completely out of scale. The reason King Piccolo is so large is because the Dragon Ball line is oversized.

Pretty sure the new Piccolo will only be a head or two taller than Goku himself. Also think the Torso and arms will be tweaked a bit.
