These are my personal favorites so far. What do you guys think? Which figures released this year would you add to the list?

A breve dovrei sostituire per la prima volta i pneumatici della mia auto, si tratta di una bmw serie 4 gran coupe’ del 2023 e già che c’ero volevo cambiare anche i cerchi dato che quelli montati di serie essendo da 17 rendono si l auto piu confortevole ma non mi fanno impazzire esteticamente. Pensavo di scegliere un bel cerchio da 20 ed ero indeciso tra il mak Koenig o quello della terza foto che è una replica di quello che monta la M4. Avete qualche consiglio? Se qualcuno le ha provate e sa dirmi come si è trovato o conosce alternative valide sono tutt orecchie 💪🏼

Stavo aspettando qualche altra foto e soprattutto video per capire quale fosse la qualità e soprattutto se fosse così simile alla versione ufficiale e diamine sembra esattamente identica a quella bandai, con addirittura gli stessi accessori e anche la solidità nel video che ho visto su Instagram mentre scuote la figure sembra ottima.
dato il prezzo che ha raggiunto la versione originale e il design iconico di questa versione ho fatto il pre order approfittando degli sconti di questo mese su Ali, se non fa ritardi dovrebbe arrivare alla fine di questo mese 🤞

Ho appena ricevuto questo messaggio da Cuddlekit Toy Store riguardo il pre order del nuovo Broly ZL studio, credo stia cercando di farmi annullare per venderlo a prezzo più alto. Qualcun altro ha ricevuto lo stesso messaggio o sa se sé questa cosa del ritardo è vera?

tried recreating an aerial pose inspired by the Goku & Piccolo (swapped Piccolo with Trunks) vs Broly fight from Movie 8, while also testing these new Hot Toys-style stands on the same base. Gotta say, with a few tweaks they work insanely well. (The waist clamp, as you can see, is really only good for Broly.) But with a couple tricks you can still get the smaller figures into some great poses too.

I just picked up this stand for 1/6 scale figures like Hot Toys and stuff, and I was testing how good it actually is. After messing around with it for a bit, I can confirm it works really well. It holds the weight nicely (I only used 2 out of the 4 supports included in the box, one for the legs and one for the torso).
The clamp that holds the figure uses a spring-loaded system, so it keeps pressure on the figure for extra stability, and the inside is padded with foam so it doesn’t damage the figure.
For anyone interested, I got it on AliExpress and it’s called the “Jiaou Doll Stand.”

At first I only preordered the SSJ version (Movie 10 one) since that’s always been my favorite Broly look, but after seeing the prototype pics again I immediately folded and preordered the base form too + the extra blue controlled SSJ head 💀
That way, together with the ZT02, I can basically have the full Z Broly lineup next to the rest of my Z collection and recreate some crazy poses 🤩
Lowkey though, they could’ve just made one body or max two (red skirt + purple skirt for the blue/purple SSJ look) and then given us 4 different head sculpts to save everybody some money, but it is what it is lol.
Still, these pics + the fact ZL Studio seems to be made by former ZT Studio people got me pretty hopeful. Some of the movie details look REALLY good, like the squinting expression on the base form and the battle-damaged outfit on the SSJ version. Even the scale actually looks on point.

Unfortunately I couldn’t fully take advantage of the energy effect that’s supposed to reach up to the character’s head—the figure is just too bulky, especially in this aura-burst pose. I ended up using the remaining energy pieces on my ZT02 Broly, but I’m sure that with a bit of imagination and patience you can get a lot of dynamic effects.

Anyone know a solid holder that can handle the weight? I had a pretty long one with a metal wire from Ali, but the plastic clip you usually hook around your waist straight up gave out from how heavy it is 😭

Finally, the King is here!

The figure itself is amazing and perfectly captures the spirit and aesthetic of Movie 8. I’m testing it right now and, aside from a bit of awkwardness when swapping faces (you really need to push firmly into the two hair holes to get them to sit properly), I haven’t run into any real issues. Joints are solid, no paint defects, no missing parts or damage from shipping.

Only tip, kinda obvious but still: watch out for those damn earrings. They’re super small and fragile — I already broke one (and you only get two spares). If you’re switching faces, make sure to put them on first, and press the face in from the chin area. Otherwise they can fall off easily and you’ll lose them.
