Woooow, the huge negative reaction this figure has gotten was a huge surprise to me and still is.... And here I was all the time thinking this figure would be acclaimed and loved... Should I get him? Is he really worth the 60$ bones? Well he's definitely not worth $60, considering he comes with next to nothing and is under scaled, but he is the best articulated 16 out there. Seriously, slightly bigger with a few more effects/pieces and he'd be just fine.

He actually looks pretty bad... It's very disappointing given the recent quality of the previous releases. Very cheap looking paint job that lacks detail... Proportions feel a little off as well.

I still havenet opened it yet, but I have to say, this is the first figure I get that actually looks better in the pictures than in reality. I am very dissapointed in how this figure turned out. The quality and the painting in my opinion is very inferior. You can see in this picture how the figuarts 16 looks next Scultures 16. IMO figuarts 16 looks like garbage next to it Opinions guys?? Yes roshisurprise, so I know I never buy S.H. Figuarts. No figure comes close to this Scultures. Apart from the resin, but that's another expensive story. I ask myself, such as C-16 as Figuarts Zero might look like.

It's hard to compare a statue to figure though. In terms of sculpt and detail, statues pretty much always win. Figures however are articulated and can be posed in a variety of ways, while statues are forever posed. Don't like the pose? Can't do anything about it. Of course if you don't care about posing, then statues are the way to go. Even though 16 didn't turn out as good as we hoped, he's still the best damn action figure to date. Gotta give Tamashii some credit too for even releasing him. Poor 16 getting so much hate, I feel bad now

I can deal with the dull paint job and lack of accessories, but I"m worried about his detachable forearms being an issue. There have been problems in the past with limbs falling off, SDCC Gohan and Saiyan Saga Vegeta are good examples. Can anyone that has A16 in hand (and opened) check to see how well the forearms stay put?

I still want him. If you hate him, I'll give him a loving home. With plenty of birds, and squirrels, and woodland creatures. But, I am interested to hear if the removable arms will be an issue.

Meh, I still really, really want him, regardless of all I've heard about him. A16 getting any kind of figure is a miracle in itself, so I'll take what I can get! Anyone have a really close up shot of his face though? Does he have the same horrible face detail as Cell? Looks ok, even in that picture, but you don't know 'til you see it in person I guess. :/

So am I. But I look forward to all of the releases. It's the only time I buy myself a new figure. Unless I see something that I think goes well with my figuarts.

I'm not really understanding the disappointment with the paint. Is it the fact the armor is unpainted plastic? If so I get that but I think it kind of works this time around, I really like how the glossy armor looks with the matte undersuit. As for detail/shading...I don't know, the overall paint seems to be up to the usual standard. I guess I can't care too much about that, I'm more focused on the sculpt which looks great.

The most disappointing thing about this figure is just the fact that I don't have it yet!

It's all good. We all have our own opinions.. Sharing them is fun. I won't say anything until I get mine in hand.. But I will say this.. Figuarts broly does not look better than my blue hair movie collection broly. There's more detail on the mc broly.
