can you confirm if it’s vinyl or polystone? I’m curious since it’s a collaboration with megahouse.

I mean really you can say the same about every other license there is....whether its cheap small PVCs or 1/10 Iron Studios Marvel pieces etc...

I want 1/4, i collect 1/4 the only other 1/4 DBZ piece officially is from Tsume and they dropped the ball imo on it...

I adore this, it's the right amount of detail without taking away from the anime look, i hate these companies adding textures and details to anime pieces which aren't needed....Prime 1 totally got it right imo.

I feel like my patience has been rewarded and Prime 1 continue to get ALL my money.

tsume is just too slow on their output and p1 just seems more reliable.

The event is over so I won't have a sure answer but it looked like polystone.

If P1 can get Naruto, Bleach and One Punch Man....i won't be buying from any other company ever again lol.....and if Gundam is still in the works.....oh man.

Prime 1 seems to be doing theme reveals so we are probably going to get another manga/anime reveal

Nice switch outs! That said, it may have been better if the expressions for SSJ1 and Goku-san were reversed. As usual though, Prime 1 gives you plenty of versatility and that is always appreciated.

That said, I don't know how much more detail you could actually expect from Dragon Ball.

Yeah, I get what you're saying but I can't help but expect more when I'm expected to pay more. At least the pics you posted next show detail that was a little difficult to see initially. The statue is growing on me.

I know what people are saying when they say they want a hyper detailed statue because it's more money....

But i don't want that, i want statues that are true to the art style and series, including details where there is none really doesn't work for me...especially when it comes to Toriyamas work...i think what P1 have done here is a perfect combination of varied colours and shading to keep the anime aesthetic....rather than adding unnecessary textures.
