Do you think collectors would be interested in small diorama style bases? Made for specific scenes in the show? Example street style diorama for 18 vs vegeta or small part of cells ring. What are your opinions on them?

I know I certainly would be! Figma has stuff like that for some of their characters and Tamashii has that type of stuff for Saint Seiya. Jacksdo has us covered in dioramas though but I'd love for some official Tamashii stuff to come out.

They would be custom made. Kind of what frankie does with blast effect but for those types of diorama bases. I am just wondering if i should invest time and money into this as if there is enough demand i will have to start molding etc indtead of doing each one by hand

One of my coworkers sent me this pic, probably because I have a few of the figures on my desk. He has no idea what a Dragon Ball even is.


This actually makes me want to get that statue.

this would be an example. of the size and type of base.

I think collector's would really dig that type of stuff. For big dioramas, the problem is usually size and cost but for small stages like these, it could go pretty well. Tamashii did unveil that rock stage which is similar to what you're describing. I'd start with some basic ones and then gauge interest from the rest of the community. Some basic stuff like the rock landscape and Namek stuff could work. The street one looks pretty good and I honestly wouldn't have even thought about that one.

Still waiting on that to come out btw I need that for Goku and Vegeta, it was made for them.

Its like that but as close too scale as possible and a bit larger then those. price would be around 35$-45$ depending on the detail and size. Or some larger pieces like this one I made. I posted a poll on the dbf figuart section to get an idea.

Spoiler

Completely agree on practically every point. The movie was good as a comedy more than an action. There was no tension really since it was already established that Whis could turn back time and not for one second did anyone actually believe the Earth and everyone else (including Vegeta) was gone for good. The fight was completely one sided with Goku owning Golden Frieza and Vegeta on the sidelines as backup. Throw in Beerus and Whis for support, Frieza never stood a chance. The power gaps are just too vast between characters now and it's *****king up a lot of the lesser characters. In this new DB, you've gotta be a god to even get on the playing field.

I HATED THE ENDING. Vegeta served no purpose. Like you said, it was bulls*** how Vegeta was seconds away from blasting Frieza to oblivion when all of a sudden Frieza delivers a second long planet bursting attack. All of this just to have a brief "oh no, what happened?" just so Goku could come back and take the glory. Also, they never did have the Sorbet thing at the end. I wonder where that came from?

I never thought about how similar it was to TFS but you brought up a good point. It's very much aware of itself. It pokes fun at itself and while that can be funny, the constant reminder of it especially during what should be dramatic moments just becomes inappropriate. I personally still liked it over BoG since it was funnier and more action packed. I just consider it a fun movie to watch really and I never took it seriously. Plus with DBS retelling everything, it's just another DBZ movie, meaning nothing to the story. I'm excited for the future of Dragon Ball but I'm also worried Toriyama's gonna screw everything up.

Thanks, jep. Whatever Toriyama does I'm never gonna get a continuation of what I became a fan of so... I might enjoy anything casual, but to me dragonball z remains a 90s show.

What I find most egregious is that no steps are taken into developments that seem so obvious to me. DB and DBZ evolved very clearly which villain to beat, why and who could (hopefully) do it. Thusfar all the new content combined has lower writing level than anything before it. There's just no grand dramatic threat like the other two series had. Golden Frieza certainly wasn't, like at all. Some of his lines were flatout TFS Frieza jokes. So if that is what DBS is working toward for the time being I have little interest. I don't know what Toriyama's doing other than just 'playing with his old toys' again for the **** of it, half sarcastically. Which creates some good comedy, but inflates what made DBZ truly awesome: dramatic, epic fights.

I love Gohan, but I'm actually pretty fine with him truly just quitting fighting and becoming weaker because of it, at least that's actual character development. It's true to who he was from the very first episode of DBZ. He never wanted to fight. It's actually what keeps his previous triumphs INTACT, because it emphasises the character as someone who fought because he had to, which commands a different type of respect. Goku and Vegeta remain true to their character, although I still think Toriyama ignores Vegeta's development in the buu saga way too much just to keep vegeta grumpy and add humor. And anyone but those two are clearly obsolete. No idea what he's planning with goten & trunks, but they've always been more comedic than anything else.

So if DBS is just gonna be the funny adventures of two rivals trying to get stronger I couldn't give a **** about it. Not if it's THIS self aware and ridiculous and undercuts whatever real dramatic weight fights have. I have TFS' parody for that. And a parody it should remain.

Yeah I agree with prodigy. Jesus, I would flip my **** if we have a repeat next year.

**** event exclusives. Doubt I'll ever by another one.

I made things like this and they drew very minimal interest. I made an arena base, a Namek base, and a desert base, hard plastic with stand peg holes built in. Some people asked about them but wanted them to be redone to be HUGE, like 2 feet longby 12 inches across or more.


EDIT: I also did them in large size and small size, with land and water bases.

By all means, give it a shot, just letting you know how it went when I took a stab at it.

 

[Ironlegion]

I think by September we will see the Pre-order for SSGSSJ Vegeta, Beerus and Jaco.
Then on December most likely we will see the Pre-order for Premium Color Trunks and maybe Buu's.

 

[tinlunlau]

I think Trunks preorder will be a little closer to September or October since his scheduled release is for January 2016

 

[TBlake]

I want him too but I'd prefer him be a regular release or a Web Exclusive. After this years fiasco, I don't want any new drastic molds.

Same. Skipped on it, unless Bluefin puts it up for a reasonable price,

 

[Big Deano]

Just because we have seen ssgss Vegeta etc doesnt mean they definitely will be released, just look at the Buus or....Nappa

If anything we will start seeing more preorders after Trunks is released. We have already had double the normal releases this year!

Frankie do you have a link to your bases or pics I can see?

 

[Silrian]

So what's the deal with the release dates of awakening goku and ssj vegeta? Toyarena has 31st of december for both of them...


So if we wanna count all those as 2015 and say Trunks is first for 2016, so far we could get
PM Trunks
Buu?
Buu 2?
Beerus?
Jaco?
GSSJ Vegeta?
Sdcc ex?

If all of that is 2016 either they're stepping it up even more or we know more than half of that year already too... 2016 could be the first year I buy NO DBZ figuarts since I started...

how much were you charging for them? Also similar concept but different type of designing.
