Super excited. I need a figure that likes birds ... You know what? I demand bird accessories!

It would be cool if he came with a damaged head

A damaged head that fits onto Cell's foot too! Imagine if they previewed him alongside an SHF Imperfect Cell

Only if he was rocket punching him in the face!
I'd buy an Imperfect Cell figuarts figure. Not exactly at the top of my list, but I do like him better than perfect or semiperfect Cell.

to continue the discussion on his scale... Thanks Branjita...very interesting...seems like the shf will be slightly too small then - (unless you use your powers of persuasion on Bandai ) looks to me as if the ideal place to measure correctly is the top of 17's head to the bottom of 16's chest... and judging from the shf pic that isn't the case at the moment. looks like you are right that the problem is in the lower half of the figure, his legs are too short... if we measure the first pic, which seems the most accurate to me, the top of 16's shoulder to the bottom of his fist is about 3cm, then measuring from the top of the armour above his robotic jewels 3cm brings us to the top of his boots...measuring the same way on the figuarts pic brings the equal measurement to nearly his ankle.... = legs not long enough... damn. Bandai , Tamashi, whoever needs to hear this - anyone listening??!!

Am I in a minority thinking 16 looks ok? More than ok in fact I think he looks great! he doesn't look out of scale in the group shot. I see the scale issue come up with loads of figures, with people putting pictures up all contradicting each other. If the scale is all over the place in source material then can we really say they have missed the mark on the figure?

I'm pretty satisfied with the size of 16. Personally the impression I got from watching the anime was that he was around the height his figure is. Also, 17 and 18 are pretty clearly in front of 16 in the Figuarts pic. If 17 was directly next to 16, the top of his head might even be at the top of 16's black chest section under his robopecs, which I think would be a good intimidating height.

Wave im with you on this. When i saw the fig my reaction was 'yes we have all the androids!' Not 'damn he needs to be 5mm taller!'

I think he looks fine. He also looks like he's kinda far behind them in that shot, so he's probably a bit taller than he looks.

hey don't misunderstand me - I am happy they are releasing android 16, and do think he looks great. I hope my initial reaction is wrong and he is a good scale with 17 and 18.
it just pisses me off when they don't pay attention to details that should be sorted out from the moment they decide to make a characters figure - like they've done in the past...
yes the source material isn't consistent but there is always an average in all those discrepancies.
anyways, I just wish they would have released him before broly.

It's very hard to judge him when he's standing behind the other figures. If we get to see him next to other characters, we'll know for sure if his legs are too short.

I spent more time on this correction in Photoshop, using some pictures for reference so I'd get closer to 16's actual proportions and design. I think I did pretty well considering I still did it as quickly as I possibly could. I see no reason to clean up background stuff when I do these, because I don't want to fool people into thinking it wasn't Photoshopped.
