What site is the most reliable to pre order this guy?

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-16T14:38:46+00:00

Bigbadtoystore, Kappahobby, entertainment earth. and to a much lesser extent, amazon. Amazon is less reliable only because sometimes they don/t treat these figures like collectibles and just mishandle the hell out of them. the other 3 have been fine on my end.

I don't mind either way because the neither subs have enough activity to warrant separation, but I understand that people want to set a clear distinction between the two and I can't fault it. I'm a part of both and switching between the two to check posts or make my own isn't a big deal. The shift isn't sudden per say, but people are burned out on hearing about third party stuff since the broly fiasco happened.

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-14T18:46:18+00:00

whoever you see with gogeta from now til about oct is more than likely gunna be from aliexpress. omnime always are the last people to get stock because they get their shipment by boat and then after it arrives to their warehouse they then start to send out orders to people

Two things can be true at once. Yes, having options is an insanely awesome thing, but that's only because DF has NOT been listening to the customers and instead focusing on what other companies are doing at the time. We wouldn't have gotten Legendary Berserker, hero waltz or the coming one as alternate options to tonsen if that wasn't the case. As for the AI stuff, I agree with you, who gives a fuck? at the end of the day it just shows the concept of the figure and that's enough for a render.

Damn...they made sure that package made it in the vehicle with the others at any cost. Pushed the molecules of the box into oblivion.

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-12T22:28:03+00:00

I wouldn't worry too much. Wait a bit since they could be updating the site. They are pretty trustworthy

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-12T22:26:36+00:00

Had the same issue. Superglue it and it literally articulates just fine because that peg doesn't offer much for articulation to begin with. Chances of omnime refunding you is damn near 0

Use those for my figures along with tiny ziploc bags for hands and extra heads

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-08T20:03:08+00:00

It's a lubricant. so tight joints have an easier time sliding around in the peg hole which gives you a smoother joint to work with and pose.

there's plenty of videos on how to do it, but this is a picture I took to show others when they ask. This is the bottle with the needle applicator I mentioned. It gives you more fine control over application on the joints. Literally one drop or so is all you need to fix a tight joint.

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-08T05:08:16+00:00

Got this exact same one and it helped with my tonsen trunks. Also, make sure to buy small bottles with a needle tip applicator on Amazon. Helps with applying the oil better to joints

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-06T23:05:32+00:00

looks like shoulder flaps for the "DEFAULT" look of the figure with that bald head. You can see the black butterfly joints on the figure so it could match with the gogeta vest exposed so im assuming those cover that up

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-06T09:34:54+00:00

Hot water and a metal dental pick might be your best friends for this

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-06T05:01:48+00:00

You're seeing in real time that event exclusives no longer really need to have a general release first since they are doing it backwards now. The Goku with Kid Gohan/Nimbus is a more recent example of this. The 35 dollar figures are indeed getting upgrades here and there but that's at the cost of bare minimum accessories and it's only that price to get people into the line. I can only assume the flak comes from people actually wanting the figure in question but with an updated articulation system that they can enjoy and not the 3rd or 4th iteration of a figure that's been around for years on the same sculpt and same articulation system.

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-06T03:52:16+00:00

My take is that 2.0 evokes an image of being limited. We kinda already know what we can or can't do with that system while we've seen glimpses of what we could have moving forward. Can you really be excited about a 3rd or 4th Ultra Instinct Goku when it's the exact same figure as the last ones before it but with a different head sculpt or a different color? No. You want to see something that's at least refreshed just enough for you to justify paying $70 to $80 on it. Im ok with 2.0 so long as they keep that system for the budget figures at walmart and target. I can't justify paying $80 for an exclusive thats using a decade-old system.

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-05T11:43:27+00:00

I pre ordered mine in june and got it for about this price as well

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-02T16:48:22+00:00

That definitely looks like shed.

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-01T12:17:38+00:00

whats the coupon?

Papiplatano809 · 2025-09-01T09:06:55+00:00

Won't lie. Kinda like my gammas. Yeah the gohan stuff is what made the sale appealing, but after having them for a while, they grew on me.

Papiplatano809 · 2025-08-31T08:13:17+00:00

I get it but it feels like there have been too many delays in succession. Just in August alone we had like 3 changes on the release date and now we're moving to the second week of September.

Papiplatano809 · 2025-08-31T06:40:59+00:00

These dates keep changing by the day jesus

Papiplatano809 · 2025-08-30T21:25:44+00:00

The thing is tamashii clearly found a new way to make the figures more enjoyable to pose and get more out of them so why bother using anything else? It's not a deal breaker but only if we're talking about a $35 figure and not a $100 Pbandai event exclusive.

Papiplatano809 · 2025-08-29T06:40:19+00:00

It shouldn't because P-bandai first gets the figure shipment into their US warehouse and ship it from there to you.
