Very solid collection. I love the centre of your Megaman display! And the SS Goku and Vegeta surrounded by their normal form counterparts is hella cool, too. The Volcano Explosion shot of SDCC Vegeta is awesome. And I love the comment on the alternative colours battle photo!

Thanks man! Yeah, often I'm not sure what to do with both versions of Goku and Vegeta... and now I have three Vegetas... More space is the only solution. But not yet.

Got a couple of items in. The SofVi Namek Gohan, costing me 6 dollars, with 5 of them being shipping. He fits in as well as I'd hoped. He won't be around for every display, but it's cool to have him. And it was 6 bucks who cares anyway. And also the poster I bought with Buyee. The art is from DBZ Hit Song Collection 13: Battle and Hope, released 1992. It has some good tracks on it; Unmei no hi, (Day of Destiny; Gohan's SSJ2 insert song), Aoi Kaze no Hope (The Blue Wind's Hope, theme of the Trunks special), I'm a Positive Girl!!, and Children of the Dawn are probably the best songs from it. As you can see it's still getting flattened out from being rolled up in a shipping tube. It has a couple of little dings in it but I don't care very much. You can also see a little of my reading taste (please disregard the Thomas collection...).

"Insolent child, you shall pay dearly for your disrespect. Still, to honor your Cooper ancestry, I will send you to your doom with the beauty of my new firework technique-- Flame Fu!" Flame effects have arrived. Here on Goku it's kind of a cross between the flames of dying Namek and his Super Saiyan aura. As you can see he is in battle with Frieza. As is Gohan with Cell. This was specifically based on the moment of Gohan's transformation. Cell's admittedly somewhat awkward pose is based on the shot in that episode: Final display. SofVi Gohan is still hanging out there. My Mega Man display has not changed in a long time, though that is because it is practically perfect. One last thing, my poster is now mounted on the wall above my boxes. Looks lovely. All praise be to the power of blutack lol

Wow! This has gotta be your coolest update yet. Those flames are just killer. I need to stop spending my money on figures for a bit so I can buy those things. The dying namek is just what I want to use them for, so I'm very pleased to see how great they look! The way you have them flying off Goku as he lunges forward is fantastic. But that Vegeta in the flames, man. That's perfection. Looks just like in the Anime.

Yeah, as well as the static blocks of flame that form a ring, there are pieces that clip on around wrists and the like. It's very cool. Glad that you like it!

Mega Man Zero style Zero has arrived. The classic stoic pose. This is the same character... just in different artstyles. TRIPLE ROD! BUSTER SHOT! THE SHIELD WEAPON WHOSE NAME I FORGOT! He's got a lotta weapons. I'm pretty pleased with this figure. The concerns I had about his proportions are pretty minor in real life. As for fitting in with the rest of my collection... that still stands, but whatever. I know this guy won the poll. But I wonder how many poll voters were figure collectors at all. They were posted on all manner of Mega Man sites for non-collecting fans to have their say. Zero series fans are very vocal but relatively small in number. I just hope that this Zero sells well enough, and the Mega Man line continues. WITH MORE X SERIES CHARACTERS!

I don't know about other people, but this Zero was a "must have" for me. Hope you liked him as much as I do, but I might be one of those few Zero fan out there.

My wallet would'nt love it though haha.

Its definitely the best Zero figure on the market, unless you count some Wonder Festival statue as being better. It's better than Kotobukiya's awkward looking model kit at least. And I am very happy with the figure itself. Its just the direction Tamashii's taking by making him now that bothers me.
More Zero figures...? But... but... my X characters!

I really like the Cell pose you got. Helps what is one of the line's least satisfying figures.

Which pose in particular? There's more than one here...
I don't know, his proportions may be off but I've always liked him as a figure. His head comes on and off beautifully. Every single other figure with swappable heads is tedious and annoying but with Cell it's silky smooth and instantaneous. And his joints are nice and smooth.
