Oh no! I just call my Androids, Kuririn, Gohan, SDCC Piccolo my family and friends display for now. It's just that since my collection is focused on Goku and Vegeta, I don't have anywhere to put those figures, so that's why I'm calling them that. I going to have to sell them so I can afford to buy retail Gokus and Vegetas.
Oh I understand, yeah you're probably gonna need to sell them in order to buy all Gokus and Vegetas available because some of them are expensive as *****k!! But I like your focus, I consider both Vegeta and Goku the coolest characters in the series (of course there are other very good characters, like Piccolo as a example... He goes from a villain to someone that was able to sacrifice himself in order to save Gohan, and the list can go with other cool characters). By the way, by retail you mean every single variant or only the ones that are tamashii exclusives? I just got confused with that, I'm sorry.
The huge issue with the Japanese market is catering to them almost killed the line, but getting the line out to international fans saved it! I can understand maybe trying to give a little to both or balancing it, that's fine. But Japan's love also apparently brought Kid Goku back in GT, and that was horrible. (I love Kid Goku but combining him with SSJ...
I never thought about this way considering Kid Goku in GT and you're damn right, I never realize that but it is completely wrong, it's just 2 things that should not be combined, thanks for sharing this idea, now I get one of the things that I disliked in GT without even being aware of it... I personally like GT overall for the nostalgia, since I was a kid and couldn't differ much things so it was for me "OMG it's Dragon Ball yeeeeeeah!!!"
But after I grew up, I still respect it but in my own world with my own opinion I don't consider it cannon at all and I really don't care about any figure about this "era" at all...
About the agreements and the display, thank you very much!! I will show it more often for sure, I would like to use a better camera so I can improve the experience, but since I have glass to protect the frontal area, it's complicated to deal with the reflex... One day I will carefully remove the glass and take a picture with a good gamera from different angles and perspectives, so people can see more about it! And whenever I change things or make some updates, I'll post here so everyone can see the evolution. But I won't change anything on Goku and Gohan one, this is perfect enough already
And yes, at a certain point we come to draw a line because the collection itself either goes to a way we don't want to support anymore, or we just get tired of this rush to buy a figure before it's worth a car you know... I think one of the things that annoyed me the most was that, the feeling of "oh my god hurry I gotta buy this before it's sold out" I mean come on, do you need to go like this for figures?!
And to be really honest depending on what you want to sell, you should be sure of it (because rebuying some of these figures is a real pain in the ass) and then go for it... You win because you're gonna get a good amount of money on them (especially if you bought them in day 1 or when they were cheaper) and the person who dream about the figure will win too, since the number of collectors in this line has grown but the number of olders figures have not.
I sold my SS Goku 2011, Vegeta SS and even the old Trunks, along with all the others (Goku SS3, Androids, Cell and the whole collection that was released before 16), so I could have a good amount of money back and also allowed people that actually cared for the item to own it!
Unfortunately, Tamashii is a Japanese brand, so they will always cater to Japan first, as stupid and weird as that is, plus, with Super out they know they can make money from that series now.
Yup, that's how it goes, but it still a waste
Tbh, they're thinking about this too hard. DB is popular as ****, make any character and it'll sell. Simple as that
Yep, exactly
But I feel disrespected when he says: "We want to hear from you what you want"
Goddamit, just like it was said before, we screamed until we couldn't anymore about the goddamn Majin Vegeta and many others.
I didn't even know about the survey until someone brought this up here
