Not sure if anyone posted this yet, just found this out myself. Just throwing in some new stuff I found out. 5K Toys is looking to be another 3P in the DBZ SHF scene. Kong Studio is also mentioned in this, they've been floating around as well, though i'm not sure who plays what role in this. EDIT: Just looked it up. 5K Toys is actually a retailer, and Kong Studio are the ones behind the production. A 2.0 Ro'F' Goku, complete with a brand new winking ASROE smile. Besides the discoloration in the skin tone (probably something that'll be fixed in the future), this is lookin' sharp. Honestly it seems like we almost have 2 companies on the level of maybe even Fans Toys in terms of equivalence for SHF between those two. That SSGSS hair sculpt is AMAZING. But the same could not be said for a third... as Class E Adventurer showed off their ToP #18, now in essentially a finished state. And I think you'll be thanking me by doing this... Spoiler I just wanna remind everyone, that DF is also doing an #18, and it does NOT look like it has Lupus' Tesla face plastered all over it.
Those faces are horrible, and the torso looks too long. Hopefully DF's is better OR Tamashi gives us TOP 17 and 18.
Speaking of Kong Studio I got their SSJ2 head upgrade yesterday. Not sure im 100% happy with it but I like it more than the Ferrytale Customs one i had. I still dont think anyone has managed to do a perfect SSJ2 head. Also comes with a Goku Black face I guess as a bonus. This face I kind of like because it looks like the expression from DB Fighterz when starting up a level 3.
Yeah, all of a sudden Goku just popped up and multiplied, haha. Picked one up so I could slap Ginyu Goku's head on 'em once I get Jeice. For what they are, they look pretty good! SSJ2 head is neat, Black's smirk looks a tad bit eeeeeh but still holds up. You get these from 5K or where?
With a little bit of luck they will do other franchises. Bandai has really left sentai and Ranger fans out in the cold. But for now they seem to be focused on Dragon Ball. On that note the OG Broly is also insanely expensive, but on a lighter note I finally finished customizing my body chan and 5 inch legacy yellow ranger into one figure. Not perfect but a decent stand in for now. Also, Lord Drakkon talking to a tiny goat. I think he’s lost what little of his mind he had left.
I hope you don't collect Mezco's lol. Their exclusives basically double in price immediately and only go up. I almost never sell but when someone is willing to pay $400+ for a Gomez figure, out the door it goes.
Why did you bring up that old post? Anyway Mezco is too rich for my blood even when they’re freaking brand new, let alone the aftermarket and scalper prices.
For anyone else who has been picking up the Figuarts Street Fighter figures, Sagat is currently on sale at Amazon for $68.00: Figuarts Sagat Lowest I've seen him so far (although these SF guys always seem to end up discounted eventually... hope that doesn't mean they won't finish them).
I didn't realize it was old haha, I got married last week and wasn't on the site for a while and just clicked to go to first unread post.
