Frankly I'm extremely concerned about it, partly because it has the potential to become a modern day black plague but mostly because I have very little faith in people. There are just enough stubborn, demented, or otherwise foolish people in the world today to help turn this into a legitimate threat no matter what steps are taken to contain it.

I think all three DKC soundtracks were incredible. Haven't played the Wii DKC games or heard the music from them so I can't comment on them.
as for stickerbrush symphony, I love that song but I think I prefer the remix featured in Brawl.
(anyone else experiencing slowdown when attempting to post a comment through the reply page? I wonder if this thread is overloaded)

I was referring to his remarks on outrage. He said Bandai shouldn't reissue the currently in demand figures as it will create outrage towards their company and that's hardly relevant. Oh, rest assured, there will be some people angry at seeing a re-release but there will be many more people ecstatic to see a second release as it means a second chance to get a figure they really want and in the end that will ultimately outweigh any potential outrage. as for the web exclusivity they've already shown a willingness to release at least one web exclusive (Figuarts Zero SS Goku, going back on previous claims...they even made a point to mention it was a web exclusive when they announced the reissue)...no one can say with any certainty what that means. they can (and very well may) put out SS Vegeta and Trunks once again. but again, it can't be confirmed or guaranteed either way until Bandai addresses the matter. did some digging and this is basically what I've been banking on ever since Figuarts SS Goku and Piccolo saw a second reissue. Worth mentioning, even though those two are seeing a second release in America they were mainly put out for European markets. sourceuser quote - "It been stated in a interview that was a very, very special case. It's unlikely web exclusive to be reissue ever again anytime soon as stated in this recent interview with Bluefin." "Lim: The FiguartsZero Goku was the very first Tamashii Web Exclusive that was ever re-issued and that was a very, very special case because its main purpose was for launching the market in Europe. The North American market sort of piggy-backed on that re-issue, but again, mainly for Europe and other new markets just to get the Dragon Ball thing going over there. It's not likely this can ever happen again because the limited nature of the Web Exclusive label pretty much ensures that once it comes out, it's done."Who can say with any certainty they WON'T put out Trunks and Vegeta for the European markets? Although it could potentially be a bad thing...I've read the third reissues of SS Goku and Piccolo have numerous QC issues...but that's beside the point. They can always release SS Vegeta and Trunks again for the European markets and absolutely should. |

I don't think its fair for people who are... hardly relevant. the demand for the line will always outweigh any potential outrage at Bandai. Someone will buy what they put out at some point and so far every figure has eventually sold out. they re-release a figure, especially one in high demand like SS Vegeta or Trunks, and it WILL sell. |

It definitely looks cool, I always wondered how that Irwin base would look with the Jakks parts you used.

What's that? Weird part of YouTube? I've heard of that place.

Just as I thought...in the right hands that could be something worth having...but I just read the Zangief figure is very loose and it seems it's currently going for $200 on eBay.

posted that as soon as I woke up...now that I see it with a critical eye it's only slightly interesting. I guess I was just seeing how good the base is.

what a tasty shade of green. sounds completely absurd but that's what comes to mind. looks really cool.
missed the Goku, I gotta say, I really like seeing these Irwin style repaints again. part of me still wants to see every Jakks figure redone with an Irwin scheme so it's nice to see some Jakks parts repainted in that style.

There's a new user by the name of "gil", maybe he decided to make a second account.

I was discussing this with another member, it seems a bit too big for Goku but it looks like the perfect size for Tien.

Unfortunately most Marvel Legends and DCU figures tower over the DBZ Figuarts releases. Bandai did make a few Figuarts Iron Man figures (Mark 6 Iron Man, War Machine, a black and gold variant of Mark 6, Mark 42 Iron Man & Iron Patriot) and Figma is currently releasing a few Avengers figures (Thor, Captain America, Mark 7 Iron Man and a "Full Spec" version of Iron Man but that version may be difficult to get). I highly recommend those but I'm not sure how good they look next to DBZ Figuarts figures and they're awfully expensive. $8O from release...but then again the prices on each of them will undoubtedly rise.  You may notice Play Arts Kai versions of some super heroes, I don't really recommend those as they are usually around 7-8 inches and would really stand out next to Figuarts figures. |
