vedreta just "Raditz is pretty much forgotten when new merch comes out, almost as if the guy didn't exist" is wrong. The Real Works and HSCF both are quality figures. As for the various Gashapons and other releases, LoS, Megahouse, HG, Popy, Unifive posing, and etc - they are great collectibles by their own right as well. The character is not forgotten from production line-ups by manufacturers at all, it's just didn't get an official DX statue until now. I feel the same way as you about Radiz and Nappa. The Djfungshing unoffical resin is a great looking piece as well - s27.postimg.org/6q5lzdb8z/Raditz_resin_statue.jpg

@m5jagdragonpanzeriv Wow, I stand corrected. That statue is great, I don't remember seeing him before

Does anyone know what the links are talking about when they talk about sculptors competing with the SCultures line? Do they release SCultures figures from the results of modeling contests? Further details would be much appreciated. AFAIK, sculptors choose( or are assigned) a character they'll sculpt and the figures are then put up on the official site for voting. The winning sculptor's figure gets ranked as the figure of the year and the sculptor himself receives a cash prize. I think it's a milli. |

 Pic: ameblo.jp/banplanetAfter watching this pic more in depth I'm pretty sure the one in the left is Nappa (in full armor) and the one in the right is Radditz (look at the long hair on the air). Both are seen from the back. Now I think if it's truly Nappa he should be bigger. Radditz looks like it's based on this pic:  Nappa is harder to see by the blurry pic, but could be something similar to:  What do you guys think? |

I thought it is nappa the first time I saw it. About raditz I think you're right

Maybe both are Raditz, and one is made of clay and the other is made of wax?

The one on the right definitely looks like Raditz to me. As far as the left, I do think it's Napa, but the pose looks more similar to the photo you posted of Raditz.

Could be but the one in the left is missing the hair  Or it could be just a in-progress prototype Radditz, because the pose look similar. To be honest I rather prefer both to be Radditz, so Nappa will be a bit bigger than that. And I'm not too fond in the poses (because they can sometimes mess it up), I usually prefer them just standing up. We will see. |

I agree with with you. Sometimes I prefer an action pose but with Raditz and Nappa, I prefer a simple standing pose (a pose similar to the unifive is what I'm hoping for Nappa).

Something like this would be nice for Raditz, but I'm really open minded as I'm not sure I have an interest in buying him. I like him as a character a LOT, but I can't collect everything and don't need him for 5 inch scale.  |

I'm pretty sure we'll be getting a Super Bejita   It says on the blog that the prototype is almost ready to be presented. Can't wait   The blurred image on the left - does it look like a SSJ2??  They've been talking about the use of colored resin for this figure instead of paint with references taken from the original art itself. Note the SSJ figure.  Edit - Based on loose translation and I hosted the pics elsewhere. |

Pictures are not showing man!
EDIT: I can see the pictures now. Looks like another battle damaged goku :S
Also, the blurred SS2 goku seems to have a base like that of Scultures 1. Very boring figures in my opinion.

That's definitely super Vegeta in the print out hanging in front of his face.

Yep, I saw the Super Vegeta pictures days ago and it definitely looks like it. I'm very excited for him, because I don't have a SSJ Vegeta (the Majin Vegeta doesn't count as is in another "form"). It will be very similar in pose to the Ichiban Kuji figure, I just hope it will be perfectly executed.
Could be one of the best figures if done properly.
About the SSJ Goku I didn't see them before. The first pic if it's in SSJ2 I may be interested if he's also well executed, the hair is well done and there is a bit of a devil smirk on his face, but it's going to be a sCultures 5 ? And the other pic of the boring SSJ1 Namek Goku is also a sCultures 5? The pose looks very nice, but c'mon how many more times do we need a freakin Goku in that stage? What about teen Goku with no interior blue shirt or the SSJ4???
The Ichiban Kuji/sCultures 1 Goku is the best representation of him in that scale imo, and you have made him also in sCultures 4...
The good thing is they are looking pretty big, unlike others like Future Trunks or Porunga.
