S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[crisis]

I'm tellin you guys, if ya want the best deals then ya gotta constantly refresh that ebay search page with "Figuarts Trunks" or "Figuarts Frieza".. the best deals can be Buy-It-Nows, it's how I got my SSj Vegeta for $140 shipped like a month ago. A Trunks could've sold last night for $160 and somebody snatched it up minutes after it was listed!

 

[Silrian]

We'll I struck a deal with the seller $75 shipped. Hopefully it's legit. If not I'm still protected by PayPal.

Congrats but I had zero interest in it. I hope I'm wrong but I see no white tips on the hair spikes, and vegeta does have that, I know because I have one. Looks like a knockoff to me...

 

[crisis]

But the auction is still active? It's currently at $41. How'd you manage to strike a deal if there are still people bidding on it?

He sent me the invoice, but still hasn't ended the auction so I'll see what's up. Either way I'm protected.

Man ur the man. Tho I'm sad now since they aren't in scale and don't serve my purpose [emoji26]

Thanks friend and yes, I feel the same way , a bit taller would be ideal to put them with MU/SW figures.

This image is from the NYCC and shows the height between the 3 figures:

Broly and Goku are the same height.. lol why'd they do that


Orbital can you do a mock-up comparison of the Shodo Goku and Hybrid Action Broly figures?

 

[Orbital Frame]

Sure friend, I just need to know how high is that Broly

You can't really see the tips from the picture.

Looking at the sold items makes me go insane sometimes. Somebody picked up a Super Saiyan Vegeta for $95 back on November 1st. NINETY-FIVE FREAKING DOLLARS!

 

[SurlyJ]

Completed ebay listings can be misleading. For example once a Trunks "sold" for $130 MISB. What happened was I was the first bidder then the guy ended the auction a few minutes later with me winning. So it showed up as a sold for that price. But really, the guy ****ed up and pressed the wrong button when he meant to end it as someone offered him like $200 and he took it. So he refused to actually sell it to me. I didn't pay for it. But according to completed listings it says one sold for that price when that's not true.

 

[Angelo2113]

This one seemed legit. I looked at the seller's feedback and it had the feedback from Super Saiyan Vegeta.



Edited: Whoops, let me fix that...

Well I dunno how many blunts he smoked but I just found a comparison picture so don't worry about it

All this hassle for SS Vegeta? He's one if my favourite characters but the Da Tong one is almost just as good, with a few corrected paint apps it can be better even.

Trunks I get, he just isn't available any other way, but SS Vegeta is a different story.

 

[Big Deano]

You have to realise though, that datong is a bootleg, plain and simple, and should only be substituted for the real one until it becomes available.

The golden rule is dont take away revenue from Tamashii for a cheaper deal, unless thats the only option aka the real one isnt available.

 

[Android 20]

I don't know how loyal I feel to tamashii as a new customer walking into a market where my favourite character costs more than my utilities for a month.

I won't lie, it's frustrating to either go without or succumb to scalpers but I'm thankful that Da Tong has provided that alternative, for a relatively simple/basic figure in the line.

I would never buy bootleg if the original was at least close to $150 new but when it's $25 vs $250+....not even a choice in my opinion.

you answerd your own question there

"Give up the (almost) good for the great"

 

[Angelo2113]

Bootlegs as counterfeit alternatives should only be considered/purchased until the real product is available at retail price. If Tamashii re-released Super Saiyan Vegeta, I would buy it. I would still hold onto the Datong Super Saiyan Vegeta figures but I would like to have at least one real production of the figure.

 

[crisis]

Ironic how even the Datong SSj Vegeta is starting to rise in price, before they were going for $30, even $20 but now I see it going for $60 and up

You won right? I hope it's legit man, I really do.

The only thing that you should truly be upset with Tamashii is their re-release/re-issue policy. That's the initial cause behind the after market prices but the prices themselves are resulted by the supply and demand from buyer to seller.
