Not sure what the point of making Videl would be. Mr. Satan would at least be useful for displays, especially if they do what they did with 18/Krillin and include an extra head for 16.

just wondering what other figuarts come apart at the torso? And if there have been any complaints. All of them have ball pegs for torso articulation, so you should be able to pop the torso off for all figures and pop them back on.

I figured out what the SSJ in SSJ3 Goku stands for. Super Saiyan Jaundice. That's what that awful "aura" shading on his skin looks like. The gi, while technically correct if you're looking at certain scenes, is still wrong. The only reason his gi has that appearance in the show is because that's how they drew the shadowing on them in SSJ3 form. Look at Gotenks in SSJ3 - his pants, that were white in base form, are now grey with white highlights around the edges. They tried to replicate that effect by painting the entire figure the color that should only be used for the shading, to hilariously bad results. It would be just as bad if they made SSJ3 Gotenks and painted his pants solid grey instead of white with a thin grey wash and gave him hepatitis/jaundice yellow skin too. Broly is the perfect example of shading done right, they gave him light shading throughout, and let natural shading from lighting take care of the rest.
As for Cell, I just prefer his Perfect Form to have brighter colors because he stands out more.

It's a bootleg, but someone should be a guinea pig and buy one anyways to see how bad it is.

They could totally give Broly the SDCC treatment. Vegeta got it less than a year after release. The only question is why would they want to so soon? Cell definitely needs an update more, not only because his colors are weird but also because its an excuse to re-release a high demand figure. Broly is already accurate enough considering most 3D incarnations have the same colors. Video games and what not.
As for wanting Broly to have the pinkish robes and Ascended like hair color you can find a display base with a built in LED light to illuminate him and give an aura like effect. You can go crazy and swap out the led for a different colored one too, for eraser cannon glow effect. Tricks like that won't fix Cell's colors.

Those types of figures are too extravagant for Tamashii to make. They include way too many amazing things for them to produce. As their behavior's indicated, the cheapest way is the best way in their eyes Recent Figures such as 18 and Broly scream quite the opposite about Tamashii to me, but I respect your opinion.

Bluefin Premium still has Krillin listed as in stock for $40, but I have no idea how frequently they update their site to reflect whether a figure is in stock or not.

You're pretty much better off going to one of the other Wizard World cons. Some sellers will have the SDCC exclusives at a higher price, but its not like you're spending like $1000 just to get there in the first place. I went to Richmond Comic Con in September, saw some great toys including SDCC Vegeta for like $100, who I didn't buy because I wasn't buying Figuarts at the time. I think I spent about $280 across all three days I was there, and I bought some rarer MISB marvel and transformers figures, some comics, and some random trinkets I thought were neat. Food wasn't outrageously expensive either.
EDIT: My ticket was only $80 too.

hmmmmmm, got to get my creative juices flowing then. He is super affordable. Lol affordable. I recently jumped on the funko pop bandwagon and their high end pops go for what our affordable figures go for haha. I genuinely feel sorry for people that try to collect POP! Bobbleheads, they've released so many with random exclusives that they're almost as bad as Beanie Babies.

I wouldn't count them as "broken" but I've only had my SS Goku for a week and his right foot pops off the ball joint every time I move it. The peg that holds Krillins disc also came apart when I unplugged it from his hand, but I was able to find the itty bitty pieces and fix it.
I did break a Play Arts Kai Solidus Snake out of the package though. One of his katana snapped as I pushed it out of the plastic holding slot, and his left thigh got super loose the first time I tested his leg joints and now he can't stand without a 12" doll stand. Best $120 I ever spent.

I like how before broly was released, in his section, he had like 30 pages worth of stuff about him, and over here we have vegito-who will obviously come with more accessories with only seven pages :sadface: Hype will amp up when we're closer to release. Plus Broly is a whole new type of figure. I'm personally looking forward to 16 and Mystic Gohan more than any other confirmed figure. I do like that Vegetto is the same price as the others of his scale with really nice accessories.

I was thinking last night about how awesome a pumped up/full power Roshi custom would be if someone molded Broly's arms and torso and modified them to be completely bare. It would be crazy out of scale with the other figures in the line, but I'd lose my crap if I saw one.

Was it a ss vegeta or saiyan saga vegeta? Saiyan I wish I can get a SS Vegeta for $112 Oh. My bad. I thought you meant Super Saiyan Vegeta. Was about to kick my own face in for missing it at that price point.

Ebay. I'm guessing everyone was busy celebrating Christmas. Usually go for $150+ if I'm not mistaken. What country/region are you in? Cheapest I've seen a legit SS Vegeta go for recently was $105 in early November, and $150 in mid November. If there was an auction that sold for $110, it was never on eBay's NA listings.

My first Broly arrived today! First thing I noticed when pulling him out of the brown shipper sleeve from Tamashii, is that lord he looks amazing in box. I'm glad I'm buying a second to leave misb.
