There's just something about these big Dragonball statues that doesn't work for me. They all look the same between the licensed and unlicensed stuff. They all have the toothpaste smoke and the overblown bases. They all try so hard to make Dragonball designs, which are extremely simple in details and colors, work when blown up at the 1/4th scale. It just doesn't do anything for me. I think Dragonball is best suited to smaller scale stuff maybe even below 1/8th scale. I'm glad to see Cell get some love, but something about this piece just looks off to me. The face looks good from one angle and horrible from the rest. The pose has a similar issue.
