Hello everyone! I joined Sideshow Freaks just for this Figuarts Dragonball forum since this seems to be the most active about it on the net! Anyway, I've been a big fan of Dragonball ever since I was a teenager so when I learned about these Figuarts Dragonball toys, I had the urge to buy them!
Unfortunately, I only found out about these wonderful toys this year. That means that the I've only been able to buy a few characters because the rest are very overpriced now. Currently, I only have Super Saiyan Goku, Piccolo, Krillin, Perfect Cell, and Freeza is on the way from the online shop I bought him from. I'm still missing Super Saiyan Vegeta (and normal version), Gohan, and Trunks. I plan on buying Android 18, 17, 16, Broly, and Normal Goku soon. I don't need the exclusives and I don't even care about them or the box being in "mint" condition. I just want undamaged and fully functional Figuarts Dragonball toys to have fun with.
I love the Figuarts Dragonball toys because I'm amazed by how much posable they are! I actually just started buying toys again this June, 2014. I originally started buying Monsterarts Godzilla stuff, only to branch out to Dragonball toys upon learning about them. I really wish I learned about these awesome Figuarts Dragonball toys a few years ago when they were still affordable!
Hmm I think I need a little advice. Is it wise to buy that SDCC Vegeta (orange color)? It's just that I don't want that color, I want the black haired Vegeta but the black haired version is more expensive right now on Ebay than the orange Vegeta. I don't really want to buy anything that I wouldn't enjoy playing around with. Is there any place where I can buy black haired and super saiyan Vegeta for non-outrageous prices? I hope Ebay isn't the only place to find these Figuarts Dragonball toys.
I've also seen those "Datong" and "Jacksdo" versions of Vegeta, Super Saiyan 3 Goku Head, and that Trunks head on Ebay. I'm quite tempted to buy them... I've even seen that 6 piece Dragonball set that function similarly to the Figuarts version, but they just lack the beauty and functionality of the original Figuarts Dragonball toys that's why I still haven't bought them. Maybe I'll just buy that Super Saiyan 3 Goku head because although I don't really want to buy the real Super Saiyan 3 Goku, having an extra head for my Goku would still be fun.
Thanks in advance for your opinions and advice!
Anyway, actually Piccolo and Krillin just arrived today. Let me share a few pictures. It's just really so fun playing around with these guys! I really wish I had Gohan, Vegeta, and Trunks! I hope these pictures entertain you somehow.

(I put them in spoiler tags so as to not flood the thread with many pictures.)
I also started a blog where I review toys and sometimes make comics/fun stuff out of them. I hope you find the site entertaining!
