The hands are from the same base figure that I used to make my Saiyan Armor Gohan (the Nobi Nobita figure) and I added aluminum tubing to them so they can slide in and out to interchange them. I might make him a little different next time with maybe a removable face with sculpted replacements (angry Buu and serious Buu).

Okay, so these next two figures I've been working on (for ever it seems like..) are a little different from the normal base figure style. For Super Buu and Kid Buu, I first created silicone molds from existing figures (I used a HQ DX Banpresto Super Buu figure and a Hybrid Action Kid Buu figure due to the almost perfect scale). Then I built an aluminum armature as the skeleton for the figures. Then I used liquid latex to create the "skin" cast of the figures. It's basically a stop motion animation style of puppet making with a lot of small tedious details required to get a fully posable figure. I can go more into detail if anyone is interested but for now here are some final pics and some WIPs: With the exception of his wrist protectors and his hands, the entire skin of the figure is latex (as well as acrylic paint mixed with balloon rubber latex so it won't crack when moved in different positions)

Yeah, I agree but it's probably just a marketing decision and like littlegreen said, the hype is big (especially in Japan).

I've never done a commission before but I might be up for it (depending on my time...)

Awesome job Adz. I love the darker blue undershirt on Goku.

Awesome. Vegeta looks great, amazing sculpting on Gogeta's vest, and Tien's paint job is perfect. I like how you did his sash (?) over his shoulder too. My only reservations are with Tien's face, particularly his nose. But that's just a personal preference. Well done 1andonly!

I have never been charged shipping from Toyzinthebox but I've heard that for some items they do. I just ordered Gold Frieza and it was free shipping.

Here are some more pics: This last one shows the height comparison to the others. (I'm working on Saiyan Armor Krillin next, hence the mutilated legs..)
