Yeah that is pretty small. At that point you're probably better off just buying the Hybrid Action Goku & modding that instead


Or maybe even modding Figuarts Nobita (which i personally believe Tamashii will use the same body type & engineering for Kid Buu/Goten/Trunks when they eventually release them)
Great suggestions, Crisis. Thanks. I came across the Nobita figure in the past. He comes in at 4.7 inches tall. I was thinking he may be a bit too large for a 12-year-old Goku. But I don't think I'll be able to get much smaller and have the articulation I want. The hybrid kid Goku actually looks really nice. I haven't been really excited about the hybrid figures in the past (especially since nowadays you can get some figuarts for nearly the same price). But this kid Goku might just fit the bill. The figure is around 3.75 inches tall. He needs a nimbus now.

I haven't made any custom figures since I was a kid, so this will be my first dive into this for some years. After this kid Goku mod, I was thinking of buying one of Trunks' time machines and doing a repaint. I'd love to get some mossy ground cover and layer it on the piece and do a Cell time machine, with the roof burned out. I don't know if I'll be able to bring myself to destroy that thing tho! We'll see.

Look at this little guy! Found this on another forum. That's the Popy Magnet Action Kid Goku (on the right) next to Hybrid GT Kid Goku. So small. Unfortunately, he's nearly impossible to find.
 
Kid Goku's 12 at the beginning of Dragon Ball? Why is he so short? Or was Gohan just an extremely big kid for his age?
Because Saiyans age at a weird rate physically :lol Maybe you should watch Dragon Ball finally!
 
Yeah look how young both Goten & Trunks still look in BoG, they physically havent aged at all. I assume they get their sudden growth spurts around age 15 or 16, and literally stay like that for the rest of their lives (vegeta stated saiyans despite middle or advanced age never grow out of their prime, their physiology allows them to fight longer than anyone else. aside from the obvious Nappa, another example being Paragus, 50+ years old yet still physically jacked)
 
Pretty much. Gohan did age a bit in DBZ, but it was since he was so young to begin with compared to everyone else. First he was 4 and pretty small, then by Frieza he was a little taller, grew a bit more by Cell Games, and then reached his peak by Buu Saga. I think it's around teenage years that Saiyans really age, and late teens at that when you look at Goku in DB, Gohan, Trunks and Goten by the end of Z.
 
Edited: Hey crisis, can we get more pictures of Majin Vegeta? He looks amazingly well done.

Sure, he was made by customizer Gil (whom also created my Gogeta, SSj4 Goku & Vegeta, Yamcha and the smiling face for SSj Goku), although I added the electricity effects myself

I forgot to say a while back that FanAtticus is an underrated customiser imo, didn't you also make a majin vegeta Fan?

@Blood Yeah but you did what I recommend Crisis to do: put it in a stationary cabinet that you can close of. Then cloth is fine. But on an open display, if you pass by it with anything which hooks onto it it's :wave.

Okay so Buu era power ranking, my 2 cents:
On the buu strength thing. I think it's nigh impossible to make a fairly objective ranking like with former sagas. I still think Buuhan is the strongest buu form and Vegito the strongest char in the series. But that's not taking behaviour into account. But the most annoying thing is that buu finnishes most people off by magic, not strength. Hell, Dabura might have had the power to destroy fat buu we don't know. That's the nasty thing, Buu's biggest danger isn't his strength, it's his near indestructibility and his absorption tricks, of which he has 2 which become evidently effective icw his 'gum-factor'.

So with that in mind, does it even matter which buu is strongest? Even the weakest buu could possibly manage to trick and eat another (except Vegito, who resists it right?). In fact Super Buu does so when he sneaks up on Gohan.

SO with all of that said, I still think in terms of power Vegito and Buuhan are the strongest pro and antagonist in the series. I think Super Buu is stronger than Kid Buu in all his forms except the grey one. You can say Kid Buu is more dangerous because he's impredictable, yet he's the only buy who didn't manage to trick his final opponents. Kid Buu survives mostly just on his 'gum-factor'.

So having a stab I'd say this (Popo: "Pecking order *****!"):
Super Vegito > Buuhan > Buutenks > [U Gohan => Kid Buu => SSJ3 Goku]* > [SSJ3 Gotenks <?> super buu]** > Grey Buu => Fat Buu > Vegeta > Oolong

* these three are very difficult because Gohan is speculative, but I think U gohan is stronger than ssj3 goku. The proiblem is Goku is easily the better fighter over gohan, which is why it probably evens out to nearly a match. I think ssj3 gohan vs kid buu is also nearly a tie, but goku had the disadvantage of his form being new and therefore straining. I think U gohan, ssj3 goku and kid buu are purely peak power speaking very close to each other. Vegeta hold off against kid buu because 1) he's mother****ing vegetal and 2) Kid Buu is a childish enemy who as I mentioned doesn';t use many of the aggresive trickiness skills larger Buu uses.

** The question for me is ssj3 vs Super Buu because out of these two I've forgotten the details of their fight to say which is stronger. If one would make the argument Super Buu is more powerful than ssj3 gotenks (which implies there's a considerable gap between ssj3 gotenks and ssj3 goku), my ranking becomes more consistent. Then it would be:
(Super Vegito > Buuhan > Buutenks > [U Gohan => Kid Buu => SSJ3 Goku => Super Buu] > SSJ 3 Gotenks > Grey Buu = Fat Buu > Vegeta)
But, as far as I remember, ssj3 Gotenks outpowered Super Buu, which essentially makes it impossible for me to stack up super buu and kid buu...

But I see absolutely no reason why kid buu is stronger than Buuhan or Buutenks or Vegito. And I personally hazard the guess U Gohan would slightly out power Kid Buu and ssj3 Goku. Although I think BoG ssj3 Goku would **** U Gohan up.

The single biggest weird thing is if Vegeto could come and help Goku as a dead guy? Why not Gohan? I think it's because Toriyama wanted it to be Vegeta and explains it away with gohan standing in line and arriving later at Yema. But one could say it means Vegeta is stroger than U Gohan... Which would be insane. So despite U Gohan basically barely showing off anything, I'd say he's the strongest in DBZ of the non-fusion z fighters. But Goku and Vegeta are the best z fighters.

This figure is up at hobby shop for preorder. He's the limited edition of another figure that was posted here a few days ago. Comes with an alternate face, bangs and arms.
 
I thought all those absorbed by Buus gum technique werent actually dead, just trapped in Buus body? Remember, Vegeta and Goku were able to save them, they just didnt wake up in time, but fat Buu did.
 
I always wondered that as well. I think it's to make him extra cute. The Japanese love cute little stuff.

Gohan is super small too in the Saiyan saga, where he's apparently 4 years old (just looked it up). He looks to be the same size as Goku when he was 12. But that means Piccolo was training a 4-year-old how to fight.

Yeah, I could also see it being the change in artistic style, too. Everybody up to the Namek Saga was pretty bulky.

Because Saiyans age at a weird rate physically :lol Maybe you should watch Dragon Ball finally!

I know, I know. :lol

Yeah look how young both Goten & Trunks still look in BoG, they physically havent aged at all. I assume they get their sudden growth spurts around age 15 or 16, and literally stay like that for the rest of their lives (vegeta stated saiyans despite middle or advanced age never grow out of their prime, their physiology allows them to fight longer than anyone else. aside from the obvious Nappa, another example being Paragus, 50+ years old yet still physically jacked)

I thought that was just lazy though. Kid Trunks should have been close to the same age as Future Trunks was when he started training with Gohan. I felt they kept them the same because they needed the childish characters to go along with Pilaf and gang.
 
Umm.... I dont see your point? Needs must, even ive sold some of my doubles man, its sometimes a necessity!
Haha...i haven't finished what i was gonna say and pressed "post" a little too early. I was gonna ask to see which figures are still available
 
Oh! I see, your post seemed to show you being horrified by someone selling their collection :lol

Apologies!
Yeah...tried looking thru the thread in the past month for that post with all the ebay links this guy included. I bought android 17 and 18 from him. Think he had a sdcc piccolo listed too. Anyway, I wanted to see if there waa any left so I could perhaps buy more.
