Thanks everyone...and thanks for posting it vedreta. Here's another (low quality) pic I took that shows the bloody face I repainted for it. (had to use a camera from 2002) Regarding the cracks...I didn't want to etch anything as it was already nerve wracking adding ANY damage to a Figuarts figure but I did experiment on a broken piece and found I could scrape the yellow paint off. I scraped the marks and then filled in the scrapes with black. Some marks did end up a bit too wide but I think they're OK. I figured if they were too small they wouldn't show up in pics.

Well it still stays Lucasfilm at the bottom so it could've been from before Disney wrapped it's claws around the franchise, either way is depressing Edit: Found this on wikipedia, " Lucas originally planned a sequel trilogy in 1975 during development of Star Wars (1977). However, by the 1990s, Lucas said this trilogy would not be made. In 2012, The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm and scheduled production for a third trilogy." F*ck Disney. Heh...I'm saving that sentiment until I see some sort of footage. I'm one of 16 people that think this movie could be incredible...just hoping it doesn't become High School Musical In Space or something like that.

already made a cleaning request...this thread went nowhere fast, time to get back to the graded figures.

Cool...that has nearly every Zelda manga I'm aware of. I'd grab that as soon as I saw it.

I think the yellow spots are a bit too big but this looks really cool.

I wasn't going to say anything until they were made but putting the stars on the inside might be a bad idea unless they're really small, they could be magnified by the glass and might look strange on the surface.

SupremeKai Now I ask you...where is the point in questioning it? I also see it as a bit redundant but that's ONLY because I prefer everything loose and couldn't imagine seeing something locked in a box for years. You see it for what it is? Fine, don't get it. If he wants the figures graded for his collection I really don't see why it's a big deal for you.

Couple of things could happen...you could apply the slippery epoxy liquid to the tiny joint and hold it in an absolutely perfect position just long enough for the joint to repair properly and the figure will be good as new...or the liquid could spill into the swivel portion of the joint and you could permanently lose the up/down wrist movement. I hate to say it but I don't think there's anyway to fix the joint. You could try to make a copy of the other hand joint that isn't broken but chances are that would work either, a copied joint wouldn't have any swivel movement and may not fit the hands properly.

If they look anything like this then I'd be interested.

Soon as the torso is moved it becomes a problem, the joints will be exposed due to how thin the belt is. Fortunately there may be a way to fix it...for whatever reason Krillin's waist is about the same width as Goku's waist (I can't say for the depth). Krillin has a separate part between the torso and waist that was made to eliminate the gap and it should pop off as easily as every other part on Figuarts figures. With a little modification you could make Goku's torso fit onto Krillin's lower abs and everything should snap back onto Goku's waist. Some cutting will be necessary, I can't say where since I don't have Krillin yet, but it should be very easy to make something like this possible. Then repaint the outfit and you have a Namek Saga Goku. Granted the articulation in the waist/lower torso may be reduced to a swivel but still, I can't say. I'm sure there's a way to make it work and I fully intend on trying it once I get a few Gokus. This is all a bit wasteful of course...so...another potential route could be a little sculpting to fill in the gap on Goku and then placing a belt there...but either way it shouldn't be that hard at all.

Nice...I'm going to use that as a reference pic when I make mine.

You have to wonder what a Jakks Nappa would have looked like if they hadn't just rereleased the Irwin one. raditz body with recolored Goku arms and a Nappa head sculpt that looks nothing like Nappa. or a recolored Ginyu.
