Since the fire I once had for the DragonBall series is slowly returning, I'm starting to gain interest in collecting again. I have nearly all of the Super Battle Collection (only missing Vol. 20 Majin Boo), nearly all the Irwin figures, all the IF Labs figures, and a good majority of the Jakks figures stored in my basement that I really need to display once I find a decent place to display them. I've been browsing the internet for awhile and the HSCF figures have caught my eye. I've read that the last series was released a couple of years ago so they may be a little hard to find, but I'm always up for a challenge. So does anyone know of a place that still sells them or is eBay my best shot? Also is there a list of all the figures somewhere?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm also up for suggestions on figures you think are willing to collect. As a general rule of thumb, I like figures that can be displayed with the Irwin/Jakks 5" line.

I think your best bet for HSCF would be to start out with a lot from eBay. I've seen a couple nice lots with 20 or so figures go for $100-200, but otherwise many of them would cost $20, 30, 40, 50+. But they are heavily bootlegged. I have about 30 bootleg HSCF, and they're not that bad imo, but you can still tell they're bootlegs.

Check out the topic about figures to scale with Irwin and Jakks, as most hscf aren't 5 inch scale and that sounds important to you.

Oh I'm aware Branjita, but I think I could find some extra space somewhere to display them as I think they're that cool.  Of course, they won't be next to the 5" figures, but thanks for the heads up. |

Some are scaled really well! Most of the Vegeta figures, Frieza, and more go great with Irwin and Jakks.

HSCF are really pretty figures with a nice character selection and paint app. A big con about them is the lack of accuracy in details, like Kunji at times. Yamcha having is training blue shirt when he only wear it a couple of times in the Saiyan saga. It should also noted that the Kai editions of HSCF are a lot better than the first run of the series in terms of both quality and characters. As far as scaling with 5", this is one of the best figure series Imo that has been introduced in recent years that answer to that need. You can put a HSCF Gohan, Frieza, the Vegeta's, maybe even krillin and they would look amazing with your 5" figures and can really be upping any collection.  |
