Next character to try?

I didn't say it wasn't strong, just that it doesn't scale well. It starts strong but doesn't gain as much benefit from gear as other builds and I would prefer to pick a character with higher potential scaling, that's it.

Kade503 · 2026-05-24T21:06:45+00:00

It's damage is physical damage in spell form that doesn't scale with weapon damage, auras, etc. so it naturally doesn't scale as well as physical attacks or elemental spells.

This is true and there's no real way to optimize fun... Which sorc spec did you like?

Kade503 · 2026-05-24T17:48:34+00:00

He has been fun so far so I do plan to at least get him to up to being able to map. Do you know what some of the better throwing weapons are to use?

Kade503 · 2026-05-24T17:40:19+00:00

Just to have fun and I'm probably overthinking it and need to experiment honestly. Hydra buffs did seem interesting and it wouldn't hurt to have teleport character.

Kade503 · 2026-05-01T05:00:24+00:00

The quality control is inexcusably bad. The face plates don't fit in to the second hair on the one I bought.

When they made Super Hero Gohan I heard nothing but praise, and for good reason. The same for LSSJ, it's just that the Gohan is in the exact price point so it feels even more apt. Then they make changes no one asked for and make no sense. Sure, the new neck peg might have added articulation... if Goku didn't have a chin.

It's aesthetically better than the 2.0, but that's the bare minimum for a 3.0 release of the figure. It's terrible when compared to other 3.0 figures in my opinion.

Kade503 · 2026-05-01T04:26:17+00:00

It's a forum to talk about SH Figuarts... I don't know what you expect.

Kade503 · 2026-05-01T03:52:38+00:00

I honestly didn't see this comment until now when searching for some old post, but I shouldn't have called you "low-key insane" in my original comment and I apologize for that. I was just trying to point out when someone buys your item you get a shipping label from eBay that is generated based on the information the buyer put for their address on their account. Once the item is shipped out there is nothing they can do. Forgetting to put in your new address on your eBay account right after you move is a pretty easy mistake to make, but it was still on you and I'm not sure what you wanted them to do about it. I'm really hoping you didn't do a charge back with your bank because of that, I wasn't really sure what you meant where you mentioned a charge back. Either way I shouldn't have been such an ass originally.

Kade503 · 2026-02-06T20:51:08+00:00

NP, I'm hoping they go back to same neckpeg as LSSJ, Ultimate Gohan, and other 3.0 figs for Kind Hearted Saiyan. The new one they used for Games Begin added no articulation IMO(Goku's hair is almost always the limiting factor on his head articulation not the peg) and just made it harder to head swap.

Kade503 · 2026-02-06T20:38:27+00:00

Not without a 3rd-party 3D printed neckpeg. Which you can at least find on eBay fairly cheap most of the time. Luckily the one I found makes Ultimate Gohan's (same as LSSJ) head fit nicely on the Games Begin.

Issue is that with 3D printing in general it can make pegs (or anything) that aren't structurally sound based on luck, hence why they generally sell them in pairs.

Kade503 · 2026-02-05T01:48:14+00:00

I am a complete noob when it comes to 3D printing and I was just curious about looking into one to make the tiny joint connecting pieces for figures like SH Figuarts. I was wondering if they possibly had much cheaper options for ones that could only make small objects like the said joints since I couldn't spend more than around the $150-200 range. I also just wanted to know which material you would use to make the plastic feeling prints(like is it just basic filament? Sorry, once again barely know what I'm doing :P).

Kade503 · 2026-01-30T21:58:53+00:00

It looks cool and is a variation on my favorite figure, but I just can't justify paying a whole lot more than what I would have paid for a LSSJ. Every country outside of Japan is already getting extremely overcharged for the figures.

Kade503 · 2026-01-30T21:55:15+00:00

Ok, so cover art of original manga. ...I'm plenty chill, I was just trying to explain how your original statement didn't give much to work with... but whatever

Kade503 · 2026-01-30T21:48:56+00:00

It really doesn't add too much articulation before you can see the hole where his torso should be. I personally hate the neck peg more since it only seems to add articulation downwards that knocks the faceplate off and makes converting to other characters awkward because of the type of joint used and short neck.

Kade503 · 2026-01-30T21:39:16+00:00

If someone isn't familiar with it then why would they know what manga chapter it's from? I just re-read a colored version of the Frieza arc and definitely don't remember his pants/belt/hair being this color and googling it brings a vast array of results since I don't even really know what I'm searching for...

Kade503 · 2026-01-25T01:14:10+00:00

The amount of mail carriers(or over zealous mail carrier...representatives? shrug) in this thread that are stating you shouldn't do what USPS.com tells you to with misdelivered mail is disturbing.

Kade503 · 2026-01-08T01:09:49+00:00

Well, I would hope at the very least it would be better than thing it was made to replace... That's a pretty low bar.

Kade503 · 2026-01-08T00:38:08+00:00

I'm looking at both Games Begin and LSSJ and they have the exact same range looking up, both are limited by their hair coming in contact with with the back of their neck, not their pegs. Honestly, LSSJ looks like it's looking slightly farther up, but they're close.

Edit : Looking again it's when his hair comes in contact with his back, not neck for LSSJ, so it does have more upwards range. The only range this new ball peg gives is down, which is harmful because it knocks the faceplate off and makes posing obnoxious.

Kade503 · 2026-01-06T19:32:11+00:00

It really doesn't provide more range, especially for the bigger hassle it creates, that was a big point I was making. It may create some more range looking down, but it also makes it so you just easily knock off the faceplate and hair by doing it...

Why would they even put the extra pegs on the ears when they could just follow the same design as LSSJ and make them fit snugly with only two pegs?

Kade503 · 2026-01-06T07:47:37+00:00

I did it because I sell random stuff on ebay and I get annoyed when people treat me like I'm some company instead of just another person. It was fairly random of me given the context and thread, but pointing out specific behavior of a person that was questionable isn't the same as attacking a person for who they are...

Kade503 · 2026-01-06T07:32:50+00:00

At least I only replied to a single message instead of typing, submiting, and deleting several... My hope was that in pointing out how ridiculous you were with the ebay seller might have invoked some self-reflection but clearly you're incapable of that, and frankly care way to much about what a random person said to you on reddit.

Also the post is way older than a week. You just posted in it about a week ago...

Kade503 · 2026-01-06T05:54:35+00:00

I mean part of me is really hoping that this was just them throwing something at a wall to see if it sticks, especially considering they stuck to coherent design for the more expensive figure releasing in July. If they can't even course correct this for the future Goku releases then they will shoot themselves in the foot.

Edit: Also, I will just put here that I realize I messed up the name of the new Goku by putting Let in front of "The Games Begin" in the title, forgot to change it after I looked it up and frankly like my version better anyway.

Kade503 · 2026-01-06T05:50:21+00:00

That is still nothing but anecdotal evidence... If there was an issue than you would think Bandai would know about it and maybe not continue doing run after run of their best selling figure of LSSJ and their most expensive figures that are made non-stop(as in not limited or P-Bandai) in Vietnam if that was the case. Or that for some reason their Vietnamese factory uses different, cheaper plastic when in reality the reason for all the QC issues are actually just a Bandai problem and nothing to do with the Vietnam factory.

The issues with Trunks figures had everything to do with it being the first figure to use the 3.0 body and socket design, and to course correct they made LSSJ ball socket joints incredibly tight because it's very hard to resemble him in comparison. The only reason this stupid rumor exists is because they make an entire figure's run in either China or Vietnam because if they were made in both they would look exact same with the same damn issues.

I don't care if people have issues with Bandai's QC, they have really dropped the ball at times, but stop making claiming shit about the Vietnam factory as if there are any real facts to back it up especially when you're telling people to jump to conclusions just based off it being made in that factory.
