So we could either go with ultimate forms of villains or final forms, but either way it will complete someone's collection.
 
Buu is devisive for me because I like super buu for almost more as a darkseid than a doomsday but good parallel nevertheless Bane. However, kid Buu I personally just dislike flatout. But I just find the childish behavior dull and dumb. Doesn't however that make Vegito the strongest charcter in DBZ? He could take Buu-han strengthwise if I recall correctly and thats buus strongest form. Would make sense imo if Vegito is the strongest Z fighter in the series. Honestly, I'd have liked the Buu series way more if it'd left out Kid Buu.

Damn, now I want a setup of Vegito, Gotenks ssj3 and Ultimate Gohan all fighting Super Buu.XD
 
I found Super Buu to be the quintessential Buu as well, as he was very much in the same vein as the previous villains. Kid Buu however came last which makes him "ultimate", which overrides everything in my mind unfortunately. OCD, sigh.

That would be a nice setup.
 
You got Darkseid, who is even more powerful, or at least I think he should be, more powerful than Superman and Doomsday, yet won't lift a finger. He will psychologically and physically crush you. The great thing about him is he will tell you he is evil and still manipulate you to join him. We're talking Darkseid a top 5 villain, to Doomsday not even being in my top 50. Kid Buu and him are great for story reasons, so I like them and won't knock them, however they're not multi-dimensional characters, but that doesn't mean they're not interesting. They're complete opposites to their respective heroes.

From a story perspective, it was very interesting to find out how the different personalities influenced Majin Buu of the character's he absorbed, and it it threw are expectations, because we were used to every villain building to their most powerful. It was interesting seeing that the most dangerous, was the least intimidating looking and weakest form. I'm not sure if "Kid Buu" was just a fan term that turned official, or it was a marketing term, but it was pure Majin Buu. Cell absorbed people, but all it did was increase his power. You can be reductive about anything. Doomsday was the same way, pretty one dimensional, but the connection with Cadmus, the mystery of his origins, the idea that he'd laugh while committing mass genocide, showed signs of intelligence, being the complete opposite of Superman, having no motive, but to "watch the world burn" (as far as we knew at the time, but it's all the mattered because he was killing Superman), etc. made him interesting.
 
I didn't realize Kid Buu was the weakest form, I thought it went (from weakest to strongest)- Fat Buu, Old Buu, Kid Buu, Super Buu.

So much relearning to do with DB.
 
It's like if I was to fight a 10 year old kid with unlimited energy. I'm far stronger and far more intelligent, however my guard would be down a bit and if he jumps on top on me and starts gnawing at my face and ripping at my eyes without hesitation, he's could take me down.
 
Final form Frieza was Freiza in his purest unrestrained form. His previous forms were just used to mask his true power.

Perfect Cell was in the form that Dr. Gero always intended for him to take when he created him.

Kid Buu is Buu in his purest form as well.

Normal Goku with flying nimbus would be really cool honestly, I doubt it but hey, anything can happen. This line does keep upping itself at times, like Normal Vegeta with crushing scouter and a regular scouter head. The Kamehaha part looks a bit meh compared to the effect parts we've seen so far.

Anyone notice that in some of the Normal Goku pics, Piccolo is alongside him with what appears to be a Special Beam Cannon effect part? Like in this picture

There's also this, which is interesting. Note that both of these have manga color Piccolo, and not the anime color

I wish they didn't shade these figures. That unshaded SS3 Goku looks so much better.... well to me anyways.

I uploaded a refined version of my proof of concept for a Figuarts Buu

Awesome work, but the nitpicker in me wants to point out some things that you may or may not have noticed.

You have forms going into each other.

The range for the big round hips looks to be exaggerated. With the amount of range you've shown, theres has to be a cavity on the inside which should be visible with every turn. If you throw butt cheeks on him, like every other existing SHF, that backwards movement will be gone.

Without having an actual joint, that could support the figure, modeled in there, you wont know for sure if that range can exist without taking away from the outer/original design.

Trust me, ssj3 was the only anime coloured/shaded figure they messed up; the rest look really nice shaded. Heck, even if ssj3 Goku looks off, truth is that (and we have gone over this before many times) in the anime when he first transformed, his colours did resembe what the figure shows, it just doesnt work since there is no light source.

I own the old manga figures of Goku, Gohan and Piccolo and honestly they are quite bland; the shaded figures are much nicer.
