Thanks for the responses. Sounds like I won't be finding him on the pegs but maybe I'll still get him. Are the Figurarts (sp?) ones worth the money? Any QC issues?

I’ve had no issues with any of mine. I just opened Jiece and the new Piccolo this past week and they’re both REALLY well done.

Probably not something you want to buy unless your son is older and takes care of things. However, SH figuarts is the premium collector line for DBZ figuarts and are 100% worth the money you pay for them. If you were to go the Dragon Stars Bardock, it's currently $25-$27 shipped on the bay, which is retail. So you can still purchase if you were interested.

Nice. Thanks, guys.
This one is for my collection, so it wouldn't be played with. Based on your words, I think I'll try to pick up the Figuarts. Despite seeing the name for years, I've never bought one before. Hopefully I can stop at one.
And if the Bandai one is affordable, too, why not get both? haha

I was going through some eBay wrestling figure listings and somehow stumbled upon a Queen Freddie Mercury S.H. Figuarts figure. It looks very detailed and may display well with Mattel figures. Plus he would make for a quality enhancement talent in Fig Feds. Would anyone buy such a figure and display with their wrestling figure collection? The Harley Quinn figure looks cool as well. Are the WWE Figuart figures the same scale as Mattel figures?

Figuarts are 1:12 scale and much smaller than Mattel.

Imports like Figuarts are a more true 6 inch and are far smaller and thinner. They generally run like 5.5-6 inches. Domestic 6 inch like Mattel generally runs about 6-7 inches.
I have the Freddie figure. It’s awesome but doesn’t go with Mattel at all.

Usually yeah, I know stuff like Ultraman are smaller than 6 but, I think the Figuarts figures on the "fighting body" like Kinnikuman, Street Fighter and Tiger Mask are at least 6 inches if not a little bigger.

The bad thing about Figuarts is that they aren't in scale with each other let alone other figures. I recently got the Endgame Cap vs Cap and he towers over my Guardians vol. 2 Starlord. I don't still have the WWE figuarts but when I did I had Rock, Stone Cold, Kane, and Taker and they all are the same height. The articulation is good and the detailing on most was solid but they aren't going to scale with anything and since the line ended it took the wind out of my sails some and I eventually sold them.

Of the Mezco/Mafex/Figaurts figures they ar by far the smallest. Here’s Mattel’s Triple H next to Figuarts. I am moving this to the Figuarts/Mafex thread.

He's staying MOC for my collection.

Anyone picked up the One Shot 1/12 spirit detective Yusuke Urameshi Figure? From reviews, I don't think they scale well with DBZ Figuarts, but possibly with Dragon Stars or Figurise. I've been WAINTING FOREVER for good Yu Yu Hakusho figures!
I'm also going to try Dasin GT 6 inch HIMURA KENSHIN figure. Looks promising.
Just wanted to get the info out. Yusuke is already $120 or more on the secondary market (where I bought mine). Kurama is set to release any day now and Kuwabara is in pre-order phase.
If Kenshin does well, then Dasin GT will prolly make some of the rest of the main cast!
These companies make figures from other anime properties, but Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin are my priority toy needs!

Just got my shipping notification for my SDCC Super Saiyan God Goku. Of the 4, it was the only one I was interested in.
Recieved my One Shot Toys Spirit Detective. Will open over the weekend and update.

Anyone bought any of the Shodo figures before? I'm debating whether to buy the Dragapult Pokemon one, well 2 of them (one Sealed/one on display). They aren't that expensive, just wondered if anyone's had any experience with them.

Got my two Dragapult figures in today. They're tiny, but there's such a wee charm to them. Really happy with them, bought two to keep one sealed for my collection of Dragapult merch.
