Dragon Ball Movie figs are 1/18 scale

Today i got 2 of them, i got Piccolo and Fulum, they aint that bad, but the hip articulation seems outdated as far as todays articulation goes. An interesting side note, they come with parts to build a figure, the BAF is a statue that a figure can be put inside and also comes with a Dragon ball and stand that connects to the the others stands.

I just saw these at my local Wal-Mart. I thought the pic's were probably proto's, but sadly the same articulation the female has in the pic, is the same as the actual figure. They're running $7 and change.

Bro I wouldn't even call that articulation. I'd call it a dwarf statue with a few key poses :rotfl:

MAYBE i'd get the head if they clearanced these down to .50 cents as they probably will
I do like the Chow fig so i may get that at reg price.

Does anybody have any comparison pics of these with Joes?

If none are up by later this evening, I'll put some up. I picked up a couple of these figures the other day. They're not bad looking. They do look more like dollar store type figure to me though. Something that'll fit in well when it ends up at Big Lots.

I may get a few Fulum's, if they go on clearance. He actually looks pretty cool in person.

That dude would make for some killer Cobra La Royal Guards! Consider a few bought!!!

A day late but here's the shots. I did some to show how the head is connected. They do fit a G.I.Joe figure but it's not tight. It's a little large looking too, but might work certain bodies. The DB figures have all range of motion that a 25th G.I.Joe figure does except there is no upper arm rotation. I have no idea why.

Looks like you could articulation to make the elbows swivel fairly easily by adding some JVC/VvV elbow joints to them instead. Just cut the elbow part, attach to the lower arm with the boil and pop method, the drill a small hole in the upper arm to allow the JVC joint. Darn, too bad I don't have many of those joints anymore. Oh well, I plan on buying one Piccolo and about 6 of the Royal Guard looking guys.

There's nothing really to see, i threw out the back of the card from the ones i have, but it's just a blue statuesque piece of shizzy that one of the figures might be able to fit inside, it's hollow and made in halves.

I really love the Roshi figure but... I can't rationalize 10 for the figure. 8 is my upper limit nowadays.

I paid $9.99 for mine at TRU, but i hear Wal-Mart has them for $7.99 each.

Yeah I got mine at Wal-Mart for $7.99. I did pay $9.99 at TRU for that alien figure only because I can't find it elsewhere and like the look of it. But I do figure these will get clearanced when the movie comes and goes.
