@Adeno, I think it has more to do with the fact that the writers have nerfed SSB. It became obvious when Krillin was able to push back Goku's kamehameha while in SSB form. But who knows, that's just my guess

Jiren has proven that he's the true beast to worry about, though. I gotta hunch that he's the one Whis was talking about, when he said that there's a mortal whose power exceeds that of their universes God of Destruction. It has to be Jiren, dude is going to be a problem

I also got another hunch that, perhaps this whole "universal erasure" thing is just a giant ruse. The Grand Priest & Zeno "erased" universe 9 in order to motivate all the other fighters, to hold absolutely nothing back, just for the purpose of entertaining the childlike Zenos. After alls said n done, the Grand Priest says "just kidding ^__^" and has Zeno restore every universe. I think this is very possible just as much as Grand Priest being evil theory.
 
So just got back from sdcc with quite a haul imo, i havent had a haul like this from a con for awhile lol

SDCC haul.jpg

The line for kaiohken goku wasnt bad for me, but i got there not too long after the exhibit hall opened. Also, they tried to rip me off on vegeta! later in the day realized his crossed arm had a big paint chip on it and went to exchange it, they tried to tell me it was just the package as a few others had it too, i persisted and they gave me one that didnt have that mark on it, maaaaan im a real collector you cant fool me! Also those little mini figs i got under the scouter vegeta are tons of fun! pretty poseable and looks great i just dont know what theyre called but bluefin had them for 7 bucks! most places double the price x_x im glad i waited for the DBS line, the first line wasnt as good, i went ahead and got SSR goku black and dbs future trunks.

Also the turtles i got them early online, was lucky enough to score one on the first day of the sale haha. other than that, the only other exclusive i wanted was mezco miles morales but apparently they sold out of that one on the first day of SDCC so oh well. i settled for the ML version that i found for a good deal, the mezco one is pretty amazing in person tbh but i like that the ML one has the alt head, also mezco one has a magnetic stand similar to the revos. Was tempted to buy more of the storm MK ninjas as they had ALL storm figures there im talking ryu, alt color ryu, hot ryu, ken, bison, sub zero, scorpion, and the con exclusive noob saibot. I resisted and reasoned that since im at SDCC i should go with the con exclusive which was noob but passed on hot ryu, i was never too into that look but thought it was funny lol

side note, i also finally got a punisher shirt for a pretty good deal too, funny that it came with a beanie also with the logo on it.

also real touch markers are great for some figures if you want to highlight details (like vegeta's armor) i use to build alot of gundams so i have a set of those, i used it to make a goku body look more like the OG sdcc one, planning to maybe do it for scouter 2.0. Just be careful because they can smear easily before they dry (it's suppose to as it allows you to do shading with a cotton tip or finger or whatever).
 
misterW, SDCC attendees:

How'd they do the Bluefin Exclusive line? Did they do a ticket line and then you had to return later? How many could each person in line buy? Did you all see people heading off with huge boxes of figures?
 
@vegeta, i havent opened my turtles yet, but yeah ive heard of eyes being off and loose hip joints. My brother got a set and he said the hips were loose, but as far as paint and eyes go his were pretty perfect, i was really impressed, they look great. i hope mine turn out okay haha, now that i have this set though idk what to do with my video game turtle set (also not opened), i have opened either set because i havent figured out how to make room for them yet XD

@bardoon, i just got in line, no tickets or anything as far as i know. There were people managing the line with signs and directing people where it starts etc. I think it was limit 2 per person and i didnt see anyone head off with boxes of them this time lol although for namek goku 2 years ago i did, that was stupid!
 
Congrats misterW on the haul!

This episode just makes me further hate the Broly fandom.

Actually, I'm gonna full on say Kare > Broly, which is fun to annoy broly fans with in good spirit lol. Also, I can't believe a scene in the DB franchize passed the Bechdel test for a moment.:lol

I'm ****ing loving DBS so much, this **** is epic af I ****ing love Hit man, was cool how he saved her, I'd totally forgotten they were on the same team. This whole **** is epic as hell. With that, an update on team standings:
– Lmao at that Yardrat from U2 being kicked off just like that.:lol I think that's the first appearance of U2 even fighting and their first loss as far as we know.
– A U3 fighter made his first battle appearance too, Hit dispatched him like a mofo. Iirc Kare kicked another one of U3 off, the reptilian/clown hybrid looking dude.:lol
– U4 is on 5 members still I think (having started with only 8).
– I still only count 8 members in the team shot for Champa's U6 and they all seem to be around.
– Our very own Beerus obv lost krillin only
– U9 is :toilet_cl
– U10 is ****ing up as well, they've lost at least 4 members. (2 winged and two hitting Kare.)
- U11 lost their first member.

So currently from what we know:
U2, 7 and 11 are leading with nine left.
U3 is at eight I think.
U6 is at full but can only spot eight starting members.
U10 six left.
U4 five left
U9 zero

Still a lot of guys left. Unless I've missed how many Kare knocked off in her explosion.

As for figure talk, pass on the new sayin saga Vegeta, prefer the old one in every way except articulation (and QC). Although I will say the 2.0's proportions are actually somewhat better, Vegeta wasn't drawn as lean as the 1.0 version was. 2.0 is just a little too big.
 
For anyone still looking for the OG shf super saiyan Vegeta figure, I see a lot of them popping up on mandarake for about 8000 yen. REALLY TEMPTING....

That is very tempting. It's a great figure but I see it equivalent to the 1st Super Saiyan Goku release. It was great for its time, and is still a solid figure, but it's too outdated to pay almost $100.

At this point, I'd only buy this for the paint job. I have too many Vegeta figures to even consider pick this up. I don't have the OG SS Vegeta though. Already got 2 pce as Vegeta, one datong SS Vegeta and ss Vegeta 2.0

Its not that bad surely. Sure, there are ALOT of references to him, but this is finally a canon version of the legend Vegeta harped on about; being unable to control their power, being untouchable, and ultimately self destructive, all without the pathetic backstory like Broly "Goku crying caused it". She is mentally unstable, but thats her nature, it isnt due to some BS excuse.

@Crisis Its pretty much confirmed that SSB isnt a power boost, its a god ki control mechanism. Gokus blue Kamehameha in both scenarios was likely toned down so it didnt hurt the opponent, just pushed them back. Goku would never knowingly fire a massively powerful attack at his best friend knowing he would die because of it.

I dont know if anyone seen the tweet that Toei posted regarding Gokus new form and "something terrible" happening that will cause it. I doubt its a ruse at this point, but something massive is going to happen. This wont end with Goku vs Jiren, I can safely guess that now.
 
What can possibly be more massive than erasing an entire universe in an instant? :horror

Maybe Universe 6 gets erased next, it's the universe they bonded with the most
 
Yeah, no idea, the whole "evil angels" rumor is quite popular atm, and that would be cool, but I dont believe Whis would go against Uni 7; he seems like the only angel who has bonded with his God of Destruction aswell as with mortals.
 
Would have liked it if vegeta would have been the one to unlock that new form but obviously it had to be goku lol. Poor vegeta can't seem to get the spot light as the hero (can't count fat buu given he blew himself up for no reason) and where has frieza gone?

opened up those mini blok looking dbs figs and theyre pretty awesome for what they are. I especially liked the paint jobs on the hair, it has a slight metallic glossy sheen to it, it was the same for the SSB goku and vegeta (passed on those since atm there's no SSR figure nor a DBS trunks figure).

Agree/disagree? Dude makes some valid points



"Merchandise-obsessed fanboys" :monkey2
 
Pretty sure that is a bootleg. The original didn't have the Kai logo on the bottom. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
It did, the American release has a sticker over it. The Japanese releases all started off as dragonball kai figures, plus, mandarake wouldn't sell bootlegs, they are a massive collection of stores in Japan.

Pffft...amateur!! I kid, I kid!!

But I'm pretty sure this is not bootleg. Mandarake is a big chain store that sells second hand products.
