Old clamshell Marvel Legends. Be sure to open them in a well ventilated room, or else that strong old paint smell will make you woozy. Lol.

Nice to see Majin Vegeta in first place! A little sad there's no Salza, though. No love for Brench-Seijin?

I don't have a PS4, yet. So, I think for the time being I'll be on PS3. With the way Sony is handling other online games MMO type of game, I am really hoping they make it so all versions can play together. At least, so PS3 and PS4 can play together. I might get it on PC in the future. I'm curious to see what kinds of mods might be possible, at least for the single player game.

I was talking to Branjita about possibly using some Chara Puchi heads for some Figuarts customs. He pointed me towards his checklist thread which has pictures and has suggestions for what heads may work with 5" customs and what won't. It was a really good start. He also suggested I start a thread to see if anyone else had some helpful information, too. Hopefully, some of you have a little experience with this. At the moment, I was wondering if I could use some of the heads for Goku, Gohan(younger), Yamcha, or Tien. I know some of them might be a little small. I was, also, thinking about making a few customs using the Datong Vegeta body as the base. I noticed that, with the exception of some notable major characters, the majority of soldiers/henchmen that you see from Frieza and other aliens are around the same height as Vegeta. I love having all the major villains, but it would be great to have some canon fodder that I could have the Z Fighters tearing through. Random henchmen gives me the freedom to make up characters and expand to a lot of other Chara Puchi heads. Does anyone know if all the Chara Puchi figures are about the same size? Branjita suggested the DWC figures, too. I was thinking about using some of those for extra Goku heads. I like the SSG Goku head. I know people have used the DXF SSG Goku head on the Figuarts Goku, and it looked pretty good. Does anyone think other DXF heads would work well for custom, too? I was looking at one of the DXF Kuroko's Basketball figures for the head. It was listed at 6.3" compared to the Goku figure which was listed at 6". But, the head on it looked a little on the smaller side. So, I thought it might still work. Any helpful information would be great! Does anyone else know of any other figure lines that would work with Figuarts? Maybe we could put together a nice resource for heads that will work for figuarts customs? Thanks, everyone!

I started out my DBZ figuarts collection with a SS Goku and Piccolo. Waiting for them to arrive is killing me.

I use either Ami Ami or Amazon. With the current state of the Yen, Ami Ami has great prices. But, Amazon sometimes balances out with free shipping. Amazon just opened up a location in my state, too. So, that means in the future I'll get my shipments that much faster.

Can't wait for Gohan. The different Buus are nice, but I'd just rather have Fat Buu and Kid Buu, first.

Yes, Raditz. He may be among the weakest warriors, now. But, he was the first evil warrior we saw in Z. Plus, he is Goku's big bro. I'm kind of torn, though. I really want 1st Form Frieza, but I also want 1st Form Cell. The creepy factor on Cell makes him really stick out in my mind.

I want all of them, but especially Jeice. Not quite sure why, but he is one of my favourite characters. I have always wanted a good figure of him, and figuarts would be the final, definitive version.

Bulma, Master Roshi, Kami, and Mr. Satan! I'm really surprised to see Kami so low. I really want him on my shelf, next to everyone else.

Thanks everyone!
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I don't often have all that many friends to play online games with. Especially, if it is like an MMO. They just don't want to devote the time to it. But, I can't wait to create my fighter and jump into the Dragonball universe!

Raditz, Tien, Yamcha, Nappa, and Majin Vegeta. Gotta have the Z Fighters and the first bad guys that kicked off Z! Majin Vegeta is my favourite costume for Vegeta. I feel like Vegeta dropping the armour symbolized that he stopped thinking of himself as an "alien" and finally accepted Earth as his new home with his family.

Hi, I'm Jon Michael. Long time DBZ fan, and toy collector. I'm mainly a Marvel Legends and Kamen Rider collector, but I just dipped my toes into DBZ figuarts. I'm, also, a customizer and have already started thinking about some customs for my new DBZ collection. Looking forward to being a part of the community, learning, and making new friends.
Also, I'm looking forward to Dragonball Xenoverse and would love to do some missions and other online stuff with people once the game releases!
