She's pretty painfully priced at $62 (feels $20 too high, but I haven't been buying Figuarts recently), but I'm still thinking about pre-ordering her this evening. p-bandai.com/us/item/N2587685001001I love using her in the game Dokkan Battle, and if they eventually make SS2 Caulifla and SS2 Kale and neither one of them look unnecessarily raunchy, then I'd be very upset about not buying Kefla when I had the chance, because I'd certainly buy those two girls as well. I'm really happy they didn't make Kefla look sexy. I am soooooo tired of seeing female DB characters looking like One Piece females. I am unbelievably tired of that crap.

Yeah, especially considering her size, $62 is overkill. I’m still on the fence about it.

Looking at the anime, I think she should be a bit bulkier, and her hair should be a bit shorter. Specifically, comparing the figure to her firing the blast that Goku jumped onto The body looks too small and the head looks too big. And is it just me or are the faces looking really cheap on this figure? Not much expression and they're pretty plain all things considered (smirking, gritted teeth, yelling.) They could've given her a shocked face, considering that's the one scene I'd imagine most people would want to replicate. It's a shame, some figures seem to hit the nail on the head (I.E., Full Power Broly, SS4 Goku) and then you see stuff like this. For reference, here are images of Kefla I found: FighterZ model, extracted and T-posed in SFM (ported by Sneakyerz) Full body/HUD Render for FighterZ And her model sheet. In just about every piece of art I've seen, she's bulkier than the figure and her hair isn't as long. And I can't be the only one who thinks it looks weird from every angle that isn't the front of the figure. It's clearly designed for that angle only, which defeats the purpose of a three-dimensional iteration of the character. The base Goku hair has never been perfect (namely missing the spikes of hair from the back of his head that appear when looking at him from the side,) but you could still see it from other angles and not have it look weird. For Kefla, you see her from a different angle and her hair looks like an entirely different sculpt Again, seeing figures like SS4 Goku, Broly, and Cooler come out months or even years before this thing makes me think Tamashii punted her out the door as quickly as possible to meet demands. TL;DR, Tamashii could've done much better in terms of accuracy here.

You make some good points. I guess we’ll have to wait & see when the figure comes out to make a final analysis.

I’m indifferent towards Kale but Caulifla is a badass. Finally a female Saiyan that’s hotblooded & wants to get stronger like Goku. The only other female Saiyans were Pan, Fasha (Bardock’s teammate), and Bra/Bulla. There’s also Goku’s mom Gine but Toriyama relegated her to typical housewife status which was lame af. Caulifla is a breath of fresh air, I hope they develop her more.

Here's the height chart I made many months ago based on watching scenes of DBS, using the character model sheets, and somewhat basing it on all characters having a relatively similar head size (Berzerk Kale slightly excluded... she, just like LSS Broly, have larger heads than other characters). It's pretty similar to the comparison dipper showed from a video game. You'd have to find my original post where I posted this comparison I made (wherever that was) or throw this into Photoshop in order to figure out whether I changed SS Kefla's proportions or not. I would have said. You'll note in the character design sheet posted by dipper, that non-SS Kefla and SS Kefla have fairly similar head sizes in that, yet non-SS Kefla is significantly taller in the way they Photoshopped those character design sheets into a one page display for a magazine. Regardless, none of the female DB/Z/S characters in the Figuarts line have heads the same size as the Goku figures, so her head is surely going to be big. She'll likely have a head just the same size as Bulma and Lunch, which if you look at people's pics of Lunch or Bulma with Goku... they have significantly bigger heads. Kefla is a shorter character than Bulma or Lunch, so she'll surely be a shorter figure than either of them as well, just based on looking at the size of her body. She, Caulifla, non-SS Kale, and Videl are pretty much the only main female adults in the anime who are shorter than the incredibly similarly sized Bulma, Chi Chi, Android 18, and Lunch. With that said, I think they did a good job on this figure, but I agree, the faces could have been more dramatic. One of her emotionally upset and forming that final blast of hers would have been cool if they matched the anime artwork.

Great chart, although I think Kale is just a bit too tall. I mean she is a huge character, but I think a few inches shorter & it’d be perfect. That’s just my opinion though..
On another note, do you have size comparisons to Vegeta & King Vegeta? He’s significantly taller than his son, but I’m not sure HOW tall he is.

Definitely a bit bobble-headed but hopefully looks better in person. I'm just happy the line finally has another female fighter in its ranks.
