S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

Yeah I also think it was fitting for him to get KOd out of the arena too. Last thing I wanted to see was Universe 7 dominating every other Universe with no casualties on their side. Even though I still know it's going to inevitably come down to Goku & Vegeta left standing though

Even though we the viewers are team U7 by default, I still want to root for other universes as well. Just for the fact that they aren't really our enemies, they want to live just like us, they may have something important to fight for just as much as U7 does with "Vegeta just had a daughter therefore we must survive"

I can't wait for next week's episode. We finally get to see Kale go ape ***** against everyone. I can almost guarantee there will be plenty of homages to the first Broly movie.

I.Am.****ing.Loving.DBS right now.Seeing 18 and Krillin fight together was like FINALLY. No issue with how it resolves either, it's typical Krillin and it's a good way to keep suspense going.

Also, looking at those screenshots of all the teams I took, I think we haven't seen anyone of U2 and 3 in action yet. I wonder if they're battling each other.

 

[Bardoon]

DBS has been Super! The twists have been FANTASTIC! It started slow, but it's definitely picked up the pace after finishing the Resurrection 'F arc. We got the return of Future Trunks, Goku Black (though personally, I would've actually like to have seen a genuine EVIL Goku, like Star Trek's Mirrorverse), Evil Kai's, More Saiyans, Frieza's Re-Return (in a unique way that doesn't seem like another re-hash of bringing a villain back) and now the Tournament of Power which has hints of a shady conspiracy going on.

anyone remember that old episode of the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror, when Bart was pretty much God & in control of everything & can manipulate everything, but Homer was still scheming against him

I'm not saying Simpsons did it first, but

I've been enjoying this story arc a lot. Really great character moments. Frieza has been more interesting to me throughout Dragon Ball Super than he ever was in Dragon Ball Z.

Damn, Scouter Vegeta 2.0 pre-sale at SDCC, nice. Might as well pick him up while he's there.

Here are some shots I took with the Figure-Rise Frieza, Cell and Buu model kits.

Why must this site rotate images that don't need to be rotated!?

 

[Angelo2113]

Very cool photos, blogness

The Figure-Rise Standard Perfect Cell is my favorite Perfect Cell figure. It has slightly odd proportions and sculpting in the face but overall it's really great.

Thanks!
Great figure. My only complaint is the face. It looks more cartoon-y than anime-y, if that makes any sense.

Oh man! Any idea what happened? Are they just refunding pre-orders or what?

 

[Bardoon]

I never expected to see MHToyshop go under.

Just seems like they went under from the crushing demand of everything. They posted some news on their website.

Hope I can get my pre-order refunds. I sent them an email but we'll see. If that doesn't work then I'll have to file some claims.

Really unfortunate to see them go, but it's a tough market.

Edit: and now their website is back down...huh?

 

[Adeno]

Oh man, whenever a shop dies, it's always sad. It's a really hard business world we have nowadays. Competition is fierce especially if you're a small company and can't offer as low a price as the big companies because otherwise, you'd lose money. Sometimes buyers can also feel a little too... "entitled" to get things for almost next to free. The other day I was selling something and some dude said, in a smug manner, "I can buy that from Japan for $X, I'll buy it from you for $X - $10 without taking into account shipping costs and fees." Doesn't even make sense, business isn't charity. Anyway, I hope the people who own and work for that shop will be able to overcome this very hard challenge in life. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, but we must always move forward and aim for a better tomorrow.

They left this message in their page
"It pains us to say this. Today after 5 years of helping collectors obtain their favorite action figures, statues and collectible goods we will be shutting down MHToyShop. Our number one goal has always been to provide customers with a reputable place to shop for their favorite hobby. After many years of operating at a loss to facilitate customers and with growing competition, trying to maintain the lowest pricing, difficult vendors, inconsistencies with item releases, merchant account limitations, unpaid customer invoices and increased pricing we can no longer keep the doors open. Our team has worked countless overtime hours to keep things afloat but no matter what we did we could not stop the downward spiral. To make matters worst our website was down for less than 48 hours and customers began to issue chargeback claims at an alarming rate before giving us the ability to explain the outage.
With that said, we'd like to thank all of the thousands of customers that supported us over the years and we hope you find a new shop that facilitates all of your collecting needs like we have or better. If you have any unfulfilled orders with us we will begin issuing customers refunds accordingly with whatever resources we have. To contact us it will need to be through our support email and not any other channels. We no longer own our Ebay, Amazon and social accounts as those were sold to fulfill customers orders. If contacting our support email, please be aware that some emails may go unanswered if your questions have been answered here. We now have limited staff able to fulfill and answer hundreds of order request. Once again, we'd like to thank all of the customers that have supported us over the years and we hope you continue your collecting hobby!
-MHToyShop Team"

On a lighter note, Klyllin & Piccolodeon have been revealed as playable characters in Dragon Ball FighterZ. Which was expected anyway

@Adeno I feel the same way about some buyers feeling entitled. A few examples, I was selling some stuff on eBay and I get messages from a couple people every now n then inquiring more info on the item I'm selling, but a few people are like "I only want a specific part of the item, not the entire thing, make ME an offer on it"... I'm like, seriously dude? Another was when i was selling a figure lot, a bunch of figures in one package, so a guy messaged me asking if I can sell him only 1 figure he wanted from the Lot, I'm like dude no I can't do that, whoever wins the auction is expecting to receive every figure that's in the photo. It's just funny how some people want me to cater only to them by changing my auctions to fulfill their needs.

Some people also expect to receive more than what they bargained for. I always write "you get what you see in the photos, that's it" and people respond with "but what about..." forcing me to repeat myself over n over. All my auctions start at 0.99cents with free shipping, I let the buyers decide the final price, but that's still not enough for some people

 

[Big Deano]

Hah, yeah, the last time i sold a figure on ebay, I had one guy ask me two, not one but two of the dumbest questions ever. His first would be if I could restart the auction just so he could get a better chance; yeah, sure, let me annoy the folk who already bid AND lose that possible income just so you can get a better deal, and when i told him no, he asked me to "bin the box (because HE didnt need it), reduce the price and remove the listing" and he will give me half what it was at, like wtf, im not going to lose money just for you

My bad for double post, can't edit for some reason.

I contacted MH's support email just now and instantly got a reply saying they're experiencing a high number of emails and will have someone from the team contact me at a later time. The speed of the response makes me sure it was automated.

Anyone have deposits/orders with them and successfully got their money back after this situation?

They refunded some of my pre-orders. But I had to open a PayPal claim on those.

I still have some pre-orders under their OLD PayPal account ([email protected]), which they've since closed...they still need to refund me for those and those cases are still pending.

I didn't open a Paypal claim to be a jerk, but to fall under their buyer protection window, you have to file a claim within 180 days. So I did it as an extra layer of protection to get my money back. Unfortunately for MH, by essentially deleting all their accounts and claiming they already sold their Amazon and eBay stores, it makes them appear extremely shady. Because before they announced their closure, they already were divesting everything and it looked suspicious. I'm sure that wasn't their intent, but it's not putting much faith in people getting their money back.

 

[ShaneX]

Absolutely agreed with you man. Hopefully they do contact me back and get things sorted w/o me having to go to Paypal.
I'm glad you were able to get your money back on those orders and hope the same works out for your older orders.

Looks like the new scouter vegeta is getting ordered at Amiami....missed out on their early bird special =\
