There’s a Yajirobe statue on aliexpress that might scale well with SHF.

Does anyone own Irwin’s Air Bike #67 and the S.H.Figuarts Namek Bulma? I have the bike but not the Bulma.
I was curious about painting the bike pink/red, but I have no idea if these scale together. I thought it’d be a nice display having her on the bike with the Ginyu frog.

Got ahold of the Bulma, and she fits like a dream (aside from her dress getting in the way from her sitting perfectly down a little). ibb.co/m5t56gbNow I just need some good quality paints that won’t smear on to her rubber dress, and decide which of the many inconsistent versions of this bike I’ll model it after. ibb.co/r4ccH6Pibb.co/fDT2QH5ibb.co/bQBqKR4ibb.co/mJVHf2bibb.co/NNXwb62

Since that Irwin bike is a hard, shiny plastic, I'd recommend scuffing up the surface a little bit (it won't take much time, you just need it a little rough... don't spend more than 5 minutes doing this...) with a sanding block (~$0.50 from Sally's beauty supply or probably just about any place that sells nail polish), and then spray it with some Krylon Fusion plastic paint for use as primer. You'll have a hard time getting acrylic paint to stick to that if you skip those steps. You should either mask off the headlight and such or just take the whole thing apart. You shouldn't need to scuff or prime/spray the handle bars and such... just the hard, shiny plastic and anything else that feels too smooth.
If you can find the right color/similar color of reddish pink Krylon Fusion, you could just leave it at that, skipping the hand-painting step, then hand paint the details with acrylic paint. If you can't find a similar shade of Krylon Fusion, then get some Delta Ceramcoat or Folk Art acrylic paint from Hobby Lobby plus some gloss sealer (if you want it glossy), or go for some more expensive acrylic paint from a place that sells Warhammer or other miniature hobby stuff. You'll have a hard time finding a lot of diverse colors in the more premium brands of acrylic paint though. I love Testor's Model Masters acrylic paint, but it was discontinued a couple years ago. I haven't used other brands, but chances are, if it costs $5 for a tiny jar of it, it's probably better than acrylic craft paint. Delta Ceramcoat is the highest quality of the ~$2 for a plastic bottle craft paints. Folk Art is a little thick, and generally needs you to mix in a drop of water with a few drops of paint on a plastic plate before you apply with your brush. Apple Barrel and some of the other brands are mostly too low quality for use on figures, they'll come right off, or they won't cover smoothly.

A pic I saw of all the Dragon Ball Super SHF Broly figures displayed side-by-side. Photo was by Agustin Garcia Santiago on Facebook. First one is the recently released one. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th are all the same body because that figure came with 3 heads. 5th is the bulky SS Broly.

Unfortunately he's too big. I don't know why Bandai half-assed this release since he's not supposed to be that big when not powered up. The Armor figure is supposed to represent him when he's going Wrath/Super Saiyan.

Found a small PVC statue of Mr. Satan with Bee (center back, up on the acrylic stand), on Aliexpress pretty cheap. The scale works quite well, Satan's head is a bit large but he's often drawn with exagerated head proportions depending on his expressions, being a comic relief character. The dog's scale matches the accessory dog sold with SHF Majin Buu.

Finally received Jacksdo's "Cell Time Machine" after 3 months in transit. Very happy with the result, it matches the scale of the Figure-rise Trunks Time Machine pretty well, except it's super heavy resin and PVC, and comes with Cell Shell and Cell Egg accessories, very well done too.

I found this very cheap (8 bucks all told) Buutenks Ghost on Aliexpress, I think the scale is pretty good with SHF, though it's hard to judge really since we don't have an official SHF Buutenks yet, so I'm comparing to a Super Buu SHF with Buutenks custom parts. Considering how cheap it is, I think it works pretty well, hopefully we get one as an accessory in an upcoming official release of SHF Buutenks.
