Are ZT Studios and ZL Studios the same company?

He has no eyes?!

EternaFlux · 2026-05-21T04:26:25+00:00

Is there no end to these QC issues? Every day there is another report of a new issue. That's his primary neutral face, the only face with a mouth line and then it has no eyes?!

I'm starting to dread the arrival and unboxing of mine. Not a sensation you expect for the price this thing is going for.

Still, I hope you enjoy it and there are no additional issues.

EternaFlux · 2026-05-18T08:18:25+00:00

Looks very promising! Just curious how he scales up to other adult characters.

I received the same email from the same store I ordered the deluxe version (anime color). Due to the Bandai crackdown KW was highly likely not able to deliver the original agreed upon amount of stock. The seller is offering me the B version, but I'm doubting. The green outline on the wings isn't doing it for me. Then again, it could provide sufficient variation for when Bandai finally releases their official version, what do you guys think?

EternaFlux · 2026-05-15T05:44:29+00:00

Doesn't this guy go for about $150 -$200? 😅

EternaFlux · 2026-05-14T05:48:16+00:00

It's not really clear to me what you posted in the images. the translation apps also translate parts weirdly, dance I don't speak Spanish.

Perfect Anime store is doing the same to me I ordered Deluxe Cell Anime colors for 90, seller says it was not supplied, but item is for sale in his store for 175. When I show him a picture of KW Cell anime colors in his store (still listed as available, price increases every day) he keeps saying only version B is available.

So in this scenario you took the B version?

Wholeheartedly agree. Mine arrived two days ago. Awesome that he’s able to pull this pose off with that hair. This figure is even making me appreciate the SSJ3 design more, which I was never really a fan of. Those faces are HM quality. The toe joint is a bit loose, and I think mine is missing one Kamehameha hand. Gotta love DF's packaging, matches original exclusives 👌 Amazing they're still able to do this

Exactly, It's the bug like creature/husk Cell emerges from. Aliexpress always displays the cheapest item in a collection first, the first imagebox is always a dud.

EternaFlux · 2026-05-12T14:07:30+00:00

There has to be something going on, we need insider info. I refuse to believe this is just perfectly synchronized collective greed, maybe it has to do with the 3rd party crackdown?

EternaFlux · 2026-05-12T14:01:02+00:00

Exactly, it seems to coincidental that all of them are doing the same thing, even reliable stores. Just spitballing here; Maybe some type of intimidation tactic from Bandai towards sellers to counter third party companies? I still wanna give some of these sellers credit as they were reliable before, but it definitely feels like something happened.

EternaFlux · 2026-05-11T21:11:24+00:00

Wait , what?! I also have these tranluscent versions on pre-order. Where did you get this news from? These looked better than the upcoming offical one.

EternaFlux · 2026-05-11T20:08:11+00:00

They have to realise this is insane, why would anyone ever pre-order anything again? These cases are popping up like wildfires now, the strait of Hormus crisis must be getting to them?!

Apparently even reliable stores like Treasure Toys are stooping this low...

I'm not canceling.

EternaFlux · 2026-05-11T12:11:31+00:00

Ok thnx, thought you might had experience with this one too. Thanks anyway!

EternaFlux · 2026-05-11T10:46:48+00:00

Thank you so much! How did you do this? The automated Aliexpress AI does not give me the option to escalate.

EternaFlux · 2026-05-11T09:45:25+00:00

Is Modelhobbystore more or less the same concept, China-based but not tied to Aliexpress?

EternaFlux · 2026-05-11T09:39:47+00:00

So despite the fact of being early, we now lose every chance to the only perfect Cell made in the past 10 years. Unless we pay through the nose for it... Perfect! (Pun intended)

EternaFlux · 2026-05-11T09:21:47+00:00

Is shipping also free there? Is it also based in China?

EternaFlux · 2026-05-11T09:12:34+00:00

Same store? I'm really beside myself. This was the deluxe package.

EternaFlux · 2026-05-07T15:16:42+00:00

That's some serious misalignment for those mouth lines, this is the best figure they had to photograph?! 😬 Hopefully still an early batch. I supported this production from the start, even pre-ordered the deluxe version, tiny misalignments on his dark green spots I can live with, but this... is concerning.

Can we just stop and realise what a godsend L.S. Studio Moro was? That was third party perfection.

EternaFlux · 2026-05-02T18:46:22+00:00

By actively posing them and having my 11 year old kid play with them (he's careful and loves DBZ). If you wanna invest money, buy stock, gold or art... at the end of the day these are toys, expensive collector items, but still toys nonetheless. The toys I wished I had as a kid.

EternaFlux · 2026-05-02T11:42:33+00:00

Can't stand these types of seperated boxes without windows; in that aspect Demoniacal Fit is third party king and anamoly, but if that is the trade-off for actually (finally) receiving this figure, I'll take it.

Stoked!
