AGH, Blast it. Yeah, I didn't bother to ask about the jakks Gotenks for obvious (ugly face) reason and I own both and they look gooff next to my Vegetto. The Kamikaze ghost on the other hand are actually pretty good. Ill snap a photo in a if anyone wants it. Ah, okay. I meant they screwed up the SHF one. Dunno much about Hybrid, but going off what I've seen (and how I own the SS Trunks and Gohan figures), they're around 4 inches tall.

Took some shots, added Cell jr and Puar. Oh yeah this Puar is legit the best sculpt from Jakks and totally should have come with the Yamaha figure. Anyway so yeah Jakks Gotenks with Figuarts figures works but the faces... ugh,

jarrell1110 Yeah, Irwin and Jakks Gotenks figures should scale better with Figuarts than the Figuarts Gotenks does. You'll just have to pick and choose to avoid the really horribly ugly Irwin and Jakks ones. It looks like you have the best Jakks SS3 Gotenks, so that's good. The best Gotenks is by Irwin. The best SS Gotenks is a Jakks repaint of Irwin's non-SS Gotenks as SS. The Hybrid Gotenks figure would be waaaaaaay too small. These are production left overs that might have defects, but this ebay seller coincidentally had both figures I was talking about in the same auction: And yeah, Irwin's Puar (and the Jakks rerelease that came with... Goku and Vegeta oddly enough in a 2 pack...) scales great with Figuarts Yamcha. And I don't think I ever posted this pic in here, but Dragon Stars Berzerk Kale is a nice size with Figuarts in my opinion... Chouzushu (however it is spelled) AKA the Figure Collection Chaozu is a little large, but nice... Irwin's Krillin scales good enough; he's slightly smaller than the Figuarts one, so despite his dumb looking eyes, I prefer him... Scultures Raditz is too big, but I still like him... HSCF Saiyan Saga Gohan scales well... and Chouzushu Yamcha is exactly to scale.

I forgot there were at least two Jakks rereleases of Irwin's Gotenks with blonde hair. I know one came in a 2-pack (technically 3-pack) with SS Goten and SS Trunks, but I don't know where the other one came from. The other one has metallic yellow hair. It actually looks a lot nicer to me. For SS3 Gotenks I think there are 5 variations and I prefer the one from Fusion Saga with battle damage scratches and dirt on his pants just because he has cool looking metallic hair. So there's the Jakks Series 13 one without battle damage and yellow hair (see below) who has pupils lower in his eyes than the others I think... there's the Fighting Forces one that had dirt on his pants, no scratches, and metallic hair... one in Fusion that seems like it might be the same as Fighting Forces... one from a Art of Fusion 2 pack with SS Vegito and that one has terrible colors in my opinion because everything is too blue... anddddd I think that's all. lasombra do you happen to own all the Jakks SS3 Gotenks variants?

Does anyone have a Scultures 7 Bulma they can compare to some Figuarts? Thinking about picking her up! ^O^ Edit: Ooh, or a Zen-Oh that is to scale? Thanks!!

riserax If that's the one from DB episode 1 in the pink dress, I have her, but she's packed in a container somewhere so I can't take a comparison pic. I can, however, tell you that she isn't average Figuarts scale. She's larger. She might go well with Roshi, kid Krillin, and kid Goku though... just not with Majin Vegeta, for example. The WCF Zen-Oh is good and close to scale. There's a very high quality bootleg WCF set that includes him. Honestly, I don't think it's even bootleg, I think it's identical to the commercial release in every single way.

Oh, ok! Well, crap. She seemed like she'd be almost perfect! I'll def pick up that Zen-Oh though! Thanks a bunch, Branjita ^o^

riserax Well if you're trying to scale with kid Krillin, kid Goku, and Roshi, she MIGHT be perfect. She's definitely not perfect with Yamcha... Tien... Goku... Vegeta... etc. though. She's larger scale than them.

So i've been looking for a scale kid gohan to complete my early saiyan saga collection and for the longest time I was going to get the WCF, but then I came across this review and i'm sold! Does any one own and can vouch. I think this is the Adverge EX and I'm hoping it looks cool with Piccolo!

The guy that made that video is a member here, so he could vouch. Thanks for the heads up! It was actually this picture that first got me hyped so I did some research! I've just ordered one off eBay so looking forward to it. I can imagine this exact figure coming as an accessory for SHF Raditz!

To be honest, the Adverge Children EX toddler Gohan is too small even for Irwin/Jakks 5 inch scale. However, there is a bootleg available now, and it would probably be to your liking. You'd just need to repaint the pants and shoes, paint the dragonball on his hat (even though they molded it like a nub instead of a ball) and add a tail. You could honestly steal the tail off the kid Vegeta in the same bootleg set and be happy. The size of the body is perfect for Irwin/Jakks scale, but the head he comes with is too large for Irwin/Jakks scale. It would probably be fine with Figuarts. I find the Adverge Children EX legit one too small for my collection. I'd say he's 4 inch scale. If you disagree, I do have one, and I'd sell him to you for what I paid: $12 + shipping. I have the box for him and he's never been removed from the packaging. You can see the bootleg, next to the legit Adverge one, next to my custom made figure from a Chara Puchi Gohan head on a Jakks Gohan body. I'm actually going to put the Chara Puchi head on the bootleg's body. Doomprevails88 provided this pic. It's Deformation Gohan, DWC bootleg Gohan, Adverge bootleg Gohan, and Jakks Gohan. There's actually 2 bootleg sets currently. The ones that come on red bases are the ones you'd want. They are WCF size. The ones on black bases are 5 inches tall, so they are enormous.

I have the box for him and he's never been removed from the packaging. Oh wow! I really do pay attention to how many up and down scaled bootlegs there are out there. I just assume all bootlegs are the same size! Thanks for the offer, but I already ordered one for $12 off eBay, so I'll let you know my thoughts once it arrives. As far as scale, as with all Toriyama's early work, it's just a question of what you use as your reference. Based on these Manga panels he goes up to Piccolo's knee and just up passed Gokus, so this is close enough for me!

True, the scale can be inconsistent! I just try to imagine Goku holding him. My Irwin Goku custom holding the Jakks-bodied custom makes Gohan seem a little too large (because he is). But Gohan would look like a baby if Goku were to hold the Adverge Children EX one unfortunately. I think the legit Adverge one is more like Baby Trunks size. I'm pretty excited about taking the bootleg's head off and putting my repainted Chara Puchi bootleg's head on the body. It'll shrink his height a tiny amount. Chara Puchi (and the bootlegs) are hard to find now, but this Adverge bootleg with a legit Chara Puchi head (that you wouldn't need to repaint) would probably scale best with Figuarts. But I'm happy with the Adverge bootleg's body size I think. I'll get to allow my Jakks-bodied custom to wear this alternate head I made him years ago, so it all works out for me, even if I consider my custom and the Adverge bootleg slightly too large. It still bothers me to this day that I applied my clearcoat to Gohan's face before letting the paint dry completely. The black paint contaminated the clear on the head wearing the hat. And that Goku... I cleared him without mixing the clear well enough so he is slightly glossy.
