Oh yeah. I totally agree with everyone on the Tien figure. WAY more important to me. That is a must. I'm not saying I need Yamcha tomorrow, but they would need to do it if they did Tien. But my biggest wish is for included Chiaotzu and Puar figures when they finally release the humans.

Well congrats to you.....
Did you make it or did you commission someone?
Edit: Really into the idea of customs at this point. Like a Bojack Gohan.

Dude that looks sick. I'm looking at the details on the shoulder pieces and I'm impressed. Plus you gave him Krillin's shoes? Molding for the undershirt?
thanks. I actually gave him Krillin's legs to get the orange/red joints (I have no faith in repainting Figuarts joints due to the design) (also worth nothing, it was a commission and the buyer supplied me with the parts). had to carve the bottom portion of the waist to make the legs fit and they still weren't a perfect fit but I think it looks OK. yep, I added a little putty to the torso for the undershirt.
V V V V V just going to edit this post to cover that. what you see there is a small bit of rubber material, I had a lot of difficult adding the sleeves, the rubber material allowed the most movement when all was said and done.

And the sleeves? It looks like second layer for the blue.

Fact of the matter is that Toriyama himself turned Yamcha into the joke fighter, theres no denying that. At every possibility Toriyama made sure he died or got owned first. The fandom just built on that!
I dont hate any character unless we count in GT, but imo Yamcha just isnt popular enough, which is Tamashiis main reason for making a figure. Krillin is popular, hence why he was made. Same with Broly, Vegetto. The list goes on.
Jokes are jokes and shouldnt be taken as attacking certain characters, thats just how it works within a fanbase.

Served friend, before storing the figures in their proper place I took these pictures, with daylight lighting without any retouching (except for the last):

About Yamcha, I feel most of why his character isn't well liked has been stated already. I personally don't "hate" him but I don't care for him. If he never appeared again, I wouldn't mind it. He's been useless ever since Dragon Ball ended. His sole purpose has been to die or be the butt of a joke. That said, he's still one of the strongest humans on Earth, but he hasn't fought anymore so there's that.
For figures, I want as many characters as they wanna give us, Yamcha included. Yamcha, however, is NOT one of my priority figures and neither is he Tamashii's. He's not very popular to the mainstream fanbase and would not sell nearly as well as let's say a Vegeta, Gohan, or Trunks would. That's why we haven't seen him YET. Same goes for Tien even though he is actually a respected minor character. Krillin is even more popular and he didn't sell out for a good year. We will get the minor characters, but they've got more important characters to cover before them. Whenever they go back to the Saiyan and Android/Cell Sagas, that would be a perfect time to sprinkle in some of the minor characters in between the popular ones. For instance, pairing Semi-Perfect Cell with Super Vegeta and Tien could work very well. We'll get these guys but just don't expect them to take precedence over the hot sellers

(I put spoiler tags in there to make it take less room, and using them in my own post now too. )
I'll tell you exactly why I don't have an issue with Roshi: he doesn't WANT to be a fighter anymore. He's comic relief. He fulfills the role of the old pervy mentor and it's funny. DB is in part a comedy and Roshi has a good role in that. Yamcha however ADDS NOTHING. I don't give a **** about what he says, he has no unique funny aspect to him beyond just being a bit of a derp.
The fact that Toriyama has an issue with making everyone ultimately lesser than Goku and the main villain is separate from this. Vegeta is VERY relevant throughout all of the story. He's Zod to Goku's Kal-el, he's an influential force on namek that actually causes gohan and krillin to still be alive (imagine if he wasn't there when the ginyus landed). Vegeta was a key plot component in letting Cell reach completion (apart from just being ****in awesome and he COULD have wiped out Cell). And in the Buu era, without vegeta in the end, everyone would've died. But above all Vegeta is entertaining. As I said though, from the buu saga onward, the issue started to become a serious one for everyone else but vegeta and goku. And that has grown worse since. But Yamcha lost most of his relevance when bulma broke up with him in DB (not DBZ, DB) and lost all of it when he stopped being relevant power-wise, because he has no added value as a character. He's not particularly funny or impacts the plot. He's irrelevant. He could suddenly stop showing up and I wouldn't notice and wouldn't lose out on anything.
^ Yamcha was MADE to be a joke fighter. The problem is that because Toriyama can't let characters go, people got attached to him when they honestly just shouldn't have. Yamcha was a moron desert bandit who when confronted with a girl he liked morally shifted. He had some fighting capability and nothing to do with his life so he started training. Yamcha wasn't made to be anything else except a joke, the loser. The problem is: in DBZ Krillin usurped his role after becoming less significantly powerful. Yamcha was the "krillin of db" as we would now say, but in Z krillin is the krillin. That made Yamcha wholly obsolete and he still is. Yamcha is not relevant in ANY way. Roshi is, for comic relief, hell Oolong is for comic relief. Yamcha isn't even actually funny. He's a character that has no raison d'être as the french say. (Do the french actually say that?) A writer should either let him die, for real, in a last stand, with honour. Or devise a way to make him relevant again. But Yamcha tagged along without relevancy too long and people (god knows why) became a fan. I completely respect people liking someone, but that does not change the former. In fact, I'd sooner just feel sorry for yamcha fans.

Lol, apparently we wrote this at about the same time.

Man, the obvious difference between normal Goku and MexiGoku is bothering me. The old Goku sticks out like a sore thumb and same's gonna happen with Ultimate Gohan and even Buuhan. This is the color Goku should've gotten from the very beginning. They need to pick a gi color and stick with it! Every figure has different shades of orange, it's soooo annoying.

Yeah I'm kindof annoyed Goku doesn't just have krillin's gi colour, he's the best out of all of m imo.
I'm overall not bothered though cause the way I'm gonna display it nothing cris crosses. U gohan and ssj goku manga go fine together. Mexigoku doesn't appear during those times. What I'm REALLY curious about is what colour that goku awakening will have...

If they do make an Tien I want it to be this one!!!
Give me that version and an imperfect cell and i'm customizing the most badass display ever.
About Yamcha, the only reason why im sorta worried about the way his character is being handled is because other supporting z fighters is going to be just like him, useless. They gotta give him a bone to redeem himself.Yajirobe did. He faced a difficult task in facing his fears against an overly stronger opponent and cut Vegetas tail off. Like tien held off cell. I really dont care if yamcha can win a fight nor become the greatest fighter. He holds no memorable moment when tbe team needed him and he was able to deliver. His moments is unfortunately getting killed by a minion and than getting a hole punched through him. I hope he can do such a thing in dragon super and pull off that kick ass move, like that up graded wolf fist i keep talking about.
