Hi,
New member here (please see my post in the new member's collection
)
My collection is based around the 5 inch scale. I haven't been able to suceed in adhering to this scale always, but I'm pretty pleased with where the collection is at!
No better way to spend Christmas than oodling at your figure collection. I am going to try to submit photos 'per character' as there tends to be a nice journey throughout the process!
Most figures go from Dragon ball > DBZ > DBS > DBGT where appropriate.
Chiaotzu
Both figures purchased from Chinese web stores
Master Roshi
Irwin and jakks, alongside 1 custom figure.
The custom was made under the guise to replicate TOP Master Roshi, but whilst I failed in that endeavour, this weird custom sits well in my collection.
Krillin
The majority of these figures below are my own customs (some inspiration taken from DBF!)
Tien
All figures are either giochi preziosi, irwin or jakks. No customs but I am keen to attain/make a DBS Tien (one day!)
That concludes Post 1! Favourite figs from each character attached below and for scale purposes - Ta!
Post 2 - Piccolo, Yamcha and Goku
Piccolo
All figures are either UFS, Jakks or Irwin.
Goku
I quickly realised that it's very difficult to find the 'perfect' 5 inch Goku. I've sold a fair few variants - pictures below are from what remains in my collection.
Yamcha
One of my favourite characters who could have been so much more. The figures below are all customs and whilst some scales are off, they hold a special place in my collection. I hope to make a DBS yamcha at some point.
That concludes Post 2 - please see figures below of my favourite figures from post 1 and 2.
Post 3 - Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, Saiyan and Namek Sagas
Gohan
My favourite figure - but most troublesome to collect. If anyone has any suggestions for a scaled, articulated Teen Gohan please do let me know!
Real works, jakks, irwin, evolve and UFS lines used
Vegeta
Contains customs from UFS, giochi preziosi, alongside Jakks and Irwin staples.
Trunks and Goten (ks)
Jakks, irwin and UFS lines utilised. Figuart heads used where needed. UFS body heads are interchangeable!
Adult Goten is essentially Jakks Teen Gohan (Bojack Movie) but ive always felt the figure never looked like gohan.
Base Kid Trunks, Goten and Gotenks are from SBC (i think?)
Saiyan Saga
Dragon Stars, AB and bootleg saibamen from Chinese webstores.
Namek Saga
Figuarts, SBC, jakks, irwin and real work lines utilised.
Jeice and zarbon are further favourites as you might have gathered
Post 1-3 Summary!
Post 4 - Cell, Buu, DBS, Movies, customs and Misc
Nearly there now!
Cell Saga
Pretty standard as most collectors will these figures.
I'm hoping to collect an Android 13 (1st form) alongside 5 cell jrs...all in good time.
Any thoughts on DS Cell being a better fit than Jakks in terms of scale?
Buu Saga
Again - pretty similar to other collections. I haven't wanted to collect the babidis and remaining Buus hence the missing characters from this saga
Fusion Characters and Uub
We are reaching the more contemporary figures now. X1 figure remains a WIP!
The Kai Race! (Ish)
A fascinating race which might rival the saiyans - the zamasu in me agrees.
Tapion is another one of my favourites, his base is UFS and his clothing has been stolen from a model kit (and resized). Still WIP but all customs are sturdy little figures that can handle a good bashing if needed.
Dragon ball Super
During my tour of the website I saw a comment from Branjita regarding the pain in collecting DBS figures - Hear hear I say!
Figures are a bishbashbosh of argentinian, mexican, evolve, custom figures. Black Goku remains a WIP.
DB Movies
My assorted collection of movie figures
Contains - a very poor meta cooler custom, a great Lord Slug Custom, a dire Base Broly, an interesting DBS Broly, 3 variants of Bojack, amongst others.
Yes that blue haired Broly is also one of my favourites!
Customs
My customs aren't fancy but most are indeed sturdy. My skillset in moulding, epoxy, painting is a grand 1/10 so I tend to try and mesh things together rather than striving for anime accuracy - I just don't have the skill for it! Nevertheless, please see attached
The bearded fellow, zuko( from avatar) and the scarred saiyan are my personal favourites.
Misc
My small humble collection of other figs which do not fall within the DB remit.
Finally, thank you for taking the time to see my DB collection.
Palvino.
