Well...I am disappointed that once again we did not see Vegetto or Perfect Cell. Perhaps we will see them at Spring Megahobby 2016 EXPO in late May though I am not getting my hopes up.

Got Majin Buu yesterday finally!! I was shocked when I opened the window of the box to quick-check the figure, it's so massive!! I was expecting it to be big, but not as much as it really is! I was thinking, damn... that's too big for me. But it's the size it has to be to fit well with figures from HQDX/Ichiban/sCultures etc. It's bigger in person than what you really see in pictures. The figure itself may not be spectacular or shiny in the sense that's a pretty basic static Fat Buu but what is incredible is how of a great representation of the character it is, great sculping, faces are perfect, the painting is so clean and vibrant. The overall appearance is SO GOOD. It's the perfect representation of Buu. It throws into the water the scultures version, really. I don't have any problem with the pants unlike others, it's really well made... the wrinkles and the overall shape. It comes well fit by default so you don't really need to touch anything. I speak only for the 3 figures I have, but the DOD line represents quality, resemblance and elegance for the four sides. And some comparisons for those who wonder:

Looks good takezo! But I stand by my opinion! Im waiting as the Perfect Cell will look and will then decide on it, if I take it or not. Too bad that we can not see nothing will look like the Perfect Cell. But I think it will be something like this...

Yes, I'm pretty sure that this will be the pose for Cell. And I'm ok with it. Others like A17 and Vegetto I would prefer them to have a different pose while still being static. Like this: Can't wait.

Yes, they all look similar with their attitude. Except maybe Broly and Bulma. If only this fabric clothes are not, I'd maybe collect. Because the facial expression looks really not bad. The size would be good ... but these clothes. Too bad. Well I wish you a lot of fun collect these figures.

Yeah, I definitely appreciate the DOD line more than you do. ^^ I would not be spending my money on them if I didn't love these figures. Bulma's static pose with the radar is so good. I like that figure better than the sCultures version (first appearance of her in the story and probably the most iconic), but I'm not sure I would keep both figures if I buy it. They represent different stages and are very different, though.

I can't wait to get my Bulma, she is on her way to me as we speak. She will be the first Bulma in my collection ever. She is my second favorite female character from the Dragon Ball Universe after Android 18.

serenitydarko I've not seen any new catches from you since a long time ago! You collect figures of a similar size, I'm curious to know if you like the DOD line or you don't. There are a bunch of great figures in this line you would enjoy!! On anoter note, I've seen several pictures of the final result of Goku SSJ3 and I have to say that it's quite a letdown. The serious face looks quite good looking it from the front, but it's quite meh from the sides. The faces 2 and 3 are quite forgettable. I don't like the position of the arms and the overall balance of the body looks a bit weird. The clothing has gotten a regression and I would say looks worse than the first figure they made in this line (Goku SSJ). Also the hair from the side doesn't look good enough. I think it should overall be wider and longer. Many things should have been improved in this figure.

takezo Yeah, my DB collecting slowed way down last January due to the CAD progressively getting weaker. During that time I spent more money on preordering scales. I have a few new DB figures, maybe 3 or 4 from the last time I posted. I'll post pics later. As for DOD... to be frank, there is very little I like about the line. Trunks has a cute face and that's about all that I enjoy. I find the clothes to look horrendous and the faces usually are off in strange ways. I sincerely wish MH would quit with DOD or start making them as awesome as their One Piece P.O.Ps.
