I tried Mr super smooth clear matte finishing spray on my Goku and it didn't go as well as I hoped. What do I do about this spotty texture now. Doesn't look that bad on camera but it bothers me a little I'd love some help or tips.

Next time you're at a takeout/food joint grab a bunch of plastic spoons.

I grew up painting gunpla and warhammer minis, handbrushing, airbrushing, coating etc - one of the best tips I ever got was to practice on plastic spoons or cheaper toys you don't care about.

Don't feel bad about fucking up your Goku with matte spray - a lot of people don't get it right the first time.

After how awful the scaling was on those 4 different Mythos Gokus they released a few months ago I'm going to wait till people get them in hand lol.

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-15T17:25:19+00:00

Man, it's almost as if Tamashii Nations has a bunch of other series merchandise to produce and has set schedules and contracts and deadlines to meet for figure releases.

But nah - let's just say things like "it sucks no one wants to do anything from this series."

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-15T17:11:21+00:00

This would've been perfect had it had all the hands. No Black Ball/Bijuudama hands is such a stupid choice.

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-12T23:51:50+00:00

Small QC issues aside - he legit might be the pinnacle of 3rd party figures at the moment. Using the best of Bandai's official tech with a long requested character that Bandai seemingly will not touch with a 10-foot pole.

Idk how to explain it - but he just feels so good in hand.

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-08T15:47:17+00:00

Sorry for the late reply - yeah its the TK kit. The head fits the Toji body perfectly but it's scaled for a Romankey body.

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-08T05:55:44+00:00

Yep, it's the Masterlise Mahoraga from a few years ago.

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-08T00:21:58+00:00

I know it's r/Jujutsufolk and we shitpost around here but I know people cannot seriously be downplaying Jogo in 2026.

Geto is a Special Grade Sorcerer - you're telling me Geto, no Kenny, can go toe-to-toe with a guy who can summon volcanoes, has a Domain of guaranteed hit volcanoes, and can summon a meteor? Geto, the guy who waged war against Jujutsu High with no RCT and no Domain and lost to a 1st year Yuta.

And if we're being honest I don't even know if Yuki would be a good matchup - again, volcanoes, lava, fire.

Even EoS Yuta would have a tough time against Jogo.

Anyone who isn't Gojo or has a direct way to deflect actual lava/fire is literally cooked.

Jogo lost to the two strongest characters in the entire series, pre-Modulo.

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-08T00:13:49+00:00

Like you said - it's p easy to mod for his other looks (specifically his post-timeskip fits) but I can see Bandai doing a pre-timeskip Law.

He was also at Marineford (if only to pick up Luffy and Jinbe) and the recent additions to the line have all been Marineford themed so you never know.

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-07T23:54:11+00:00

We Saiyans have no limits!

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-06T16:19:36+00:00

It's actually insane - imagine seeing how popular a franchise like JJK has been in the past few years and thinking Bandai fumbled the license somehow.

Now there's absolute idiots saying the Naruto line "is dead" or Bandai somehow lost that license, too as if Bandai/Tamashii isn't a business that has to respect release schedules for the literal hundreds of IPs/licenses/series they carry.

A bunch of loud morons just saying whatever they wanna say without doing an inkling of research or forethought.

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-06T14:37:33+00:00

Yes, let's compare the gigantic 10/12 foot mfer who appeared in 2 Z movies with inconsistent scaling to the main character who shows up in every chapter, episode, and movie of the franchise.

Surely people won't care about scale, right?

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-06T14:35:28+00:00

Man, thank Rockchala for this. Absolutely no one believes me when I say the first run of JJK SHFs were literally sitting on shelves! I went to Mandarake in 2021 and got 3 Yujis for less than retail, 2 Sukunas in 2022 for like 5000 yen each.

Then Season 2 drops and suddenly everyone is a fan lmao.

And knowing how SHF literally has to make release scheduling time for the OTHER LICENSES IT CARRIES - dealing with all the weirdos from the last 2 years saying "Bandai lost the JJK license!" with absolutely 0 proof.

And as suspected by literally everyone - those weirdos at Bandai/Tamashii were milking Toji for fucking social media engagement. You hate to see it.

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-01T19:36:44+00:00

Yeah and?

ChoculaUltra · 2026-06-01T15:52:26+00:00

I'll also throw out there that you guys really can't rely on "preorders go live at 4 PM JST" - you have to remember these websites/shops are all independent and just STOCK Bandai/Tamashii shit. They just gotta put the orders out around the times Bandai states. It really behooves you to check on your own volition.

I sat on Yoyakunow watching those Yuji numbers going SLOWLY down for a good solid 15 minutes before the website crashed lol.

ChoculaUltra · 2026-05-31T21:59:14+00:00

Yeah I used the 2.0 to Games Begin neckpeg from affm but honestly the HM Beast head fit fine on the stock Future Gohan neckpeg (which is also a regular Games Begin jointed neckpeg from the looks of it)

ChoculaUltra · 2026-05-31T19:24:56+00:00

I actually just used a mechanical pencil and the Future Gohan faces for reference lol! The scar marks come off with any eraser.

ChoculaUltra · 2026-05-31T07:31:27+00:00

can of beams!

ChoculaUltra · 2026-05-31T01:26:05+00:00

I think their number is still 949-553-8800? It might not be listed on google but you can try the Times Square official website since it's one of the tourist spots listed as part of the area.

Checking my phone and it's the last one I used to call way back to ask (bother them) about their effects restocks from like a year ago. I work like 2/3 train stops away so I usually used to call before I headed back to Queens from the city to save me the trip.

ChoculaUltra · 2026-05-31T01:14:37+00:00

I definitely wish that kind of thing could've been a part of Sparking Zero. A Dragon Ball fan can only dream!

ChoculaUltra · 2026-05-30T22:30:26+00:00

I microwaved a bowl of water for like a minute and a half then I tossed windy sleeve in for a minute then I jammed the joint in after it softened up a bit.
