So if they're all like Vegeta, the articulation they removed are:

Base neck
Waist
Thigh swivel
Elbows are now single joint
Ankle
Toe
Bicep swivel
Shoulder will only rotate
The extending legs will probably be gone as well.

Only thing I am unsure of is if the head is on a ball joint or will it also just swivel.

i would rather give my money to scalpers

I would rather go without, unless the bootlegs get better in quality, then I would get those that were out my price range. Scalpers are far worse than bootleggers imo, no need for Vegeta etc to be so highly priced, to me that makes them worse scum.

this.

My guess is that a lot of these figures will get a re release, including SS Vegeta because of the increased popularity of the line.

I really love this line and it would be nice if someone who got their hands on these figures would send them to Bandai/Tamashii to tip them off.

Don't feed the scalpers or the bootleggers.
 
Those knockoffs are horrible. I do not shop on ebay for my SH figures no matter what. Unless its from sellers I know and trust.
I'll pay amazon prices or hell even HLJ and other over seas charges to get the one's I really want. Only other one Im looking to get at this time is Cell and Trunks.
 
Thanks for that. I will eventually get another Frieza so I can actually do it. I am a pro customizer and semi pro mod. I just cant decide on if I want to cast a mold for his lower half or make it out of actual metal. lol



Hey, when you buy a figure its yours, dont let others tell you modding it is bad! I for one love to see peoples custom figures as do alot of the guys and girls on this forum, thats why I love this over the other ones, and if you do make mecha Frieza I want to see it here lol.

Wow, in that case I definitely want to see it done lol.
 
if you can live with the horrible joints and paint app, then go for it =)
 
I don't know if this will help anyone, but I recently got my SH Freiza and that damn leg gap has been bugging this hell out of me.
It makes some poses look dumb. I am a customizer so I figured what the hell I've done it to a few other figures before. Most of the time its because there's a little extra plastic left over from the mold.

I just took my exato knife to it and very and I can't stress this enough VERY LIGHTLY shaved away a little bit of plastic from inside the thy where the ball joint sits, also took a very small amount off the ball joint itself. now it sits perfectly and no more stupid gap.

Hope this helps I will post pics later on to help show you what I did and trust me as long as you do it right you wont damage your figure at all. And the joint is still very tight no loose leg floppin all around.

Can't wait .show us
 
Where can I buy effect parts at?? I've seen two video reviews and other peoples photos with this kinda like blast ora not the one from ssj3 goku but its on the ground looks very cool. Would love to know where to buy them at so I can make some really cool dio's.
 
Here's the FIX for Friezas Leg gap.

Now it is simple enough but I need to stress a few points of this mod if you're going to do it yourself. Always use a fresh blade an xatco blade since there the best IMO. tweezers are something you will need. The pictures show everything you'll need except two things. 1 cup boiling hot water and 1 cup ice cold water.

you want to start out by removing his leg from the ball joint.
then taking the blade and very gently shaving off small layers of the inner thy where the ball joint rests. If you look inside his thy where the ball joint fits you will see that the slit area is more narrow then the other legs, this is a common QC issue.

Now just take your time and remove small shavings test fitting the leg back onto the ball joint to make sure it fixed or not.

after several shaves and tests it finally fit into the more narrow (now less narrow) area removing that unsightly gap. However I did notice that when posing my freiza his leg was a little loose. SO this brings us to the tweezers and hot n cold water.

boil(microwave 1 cup water for 1 min 30sec.) and have 1 cup ice cold water on standby.

now take the newly trimmed leg and dunk the ball joint area into the hot water hold there for at least 45-60 sec. then remove, take the tweezers and wiggle it into the area between the fitted area where the ball joint rests and squeeze the ball joint space tightly and hold dunk into ice water and hold for 60 sec. bring out of water remove tweezers and dry off. Now pop on that nice tight joint and presto no more gap with a nice tight joint.:hi5:

First two pics are before the end 3 are after hope this helps out.
 
That's pretty neat. wonder if that majin logo is a printed decal or if he took a extra fine tipped sharpie to it.

as for that blast effect that's pretty sweet. I really need to pick up some new molding kit stuff and liquid plastic to do some of these things on my own. make a huge freekin kahamaha wave for cell vs gohan but I doubt ill ever get Gohan unless I can score it for a decent price ill never pay over a 100 for it don't care how many faces he comes with.


Some guy named RYOFU made this
