Wow, Broly my respect for you was high already, but now it has increased even more thank god I'm not the only Broly fan in here. I wish Bandai made a Figuarts Zero version of Broly someday. I like the S.H. figuarts but I can't stand the seam lines, that's why I went for Figuarts Zero instead. Even if they ain't as cheap... How's that Knights of Sidonia mecha? Looks good.

LOL... Thanks! Broly always was one of my favorite DBZ characters. Sadly, he was never given the respect he deserved - as the Most Powerful character of them all. The Tsugumori is very detailed. Looks like it just jumped out of the TV screen! But unfortunately, it feels very light and fragile. Nothing like the Getters at all. Nevertheless, I think it is a great addition to my collection, mainly since I got it on sale. }D

Nice piece, the broly TMZ. Was considering a while back whether to get it but never get round it. Will probably wait for a Figurearts Zero version if there will ever be one. Btw Broly is not the most powerful DB character anymore as far as the anime, battle of gods go

Nice piece, the broly TMZ. Was considering a while back whether to get it but never get round it. Will probably wait for a Figurearts Zero version if there will ever be one. Btw Broly is not the most powerful DB character anymore as far as the anime, battle of gods go Man I really hope the Figuarts Zero version comes out, cause I want one badly... Also, as far as "What the strongest character in the DBZ universe?", it depends on what we're taking into consideration. From what I've heard, Toriyama decided to include the movie Battle of the Gods into the DBZ canon, for some weird reason (since all the other DBZ movies were left outside ), so as far as canon goes Bill, his master and his friends are probably the strongest beings in all existance. But if we count all of the movies (I usually do, since they have some great enemies sometimes, think of Janemba, or Cooler, or android #13, or...) well if we count all the movies, then it's pretty obvious that Broly is the strongest character in the DBZ universe. And it can't be surpassed. Why? Because of his ability to constantly increase his power, indefinitely. I KNOW I KNOW that's cheating right? Yes, yes it is. But that's what makes Broly cool. Oh, and also the fact that it actually has a deep, emotional reason to hate Goku, unlike other enemies. Oh well. Let's hope they really make that Figuarts Zero Broly. Bandai already made the regular S.H. version, and in May 2015 an SD version will come out. I think this SD Broly will be used to see if there's demand for the character, or something... Cmon Bandai, don't tease us.

Yeah. The way I see it, Broly was born powerful. He didn't have to train, use magic, or die numerous times to be the strongest one. He could destroy a planet without any effort. He was no really a bad guy either, just misguided by his father. Broly is the "Hulk" of DBZ. I'm sure he could take God of Destruction Bill, his Master, and his friends no problem. DBZ canon likes to cheat so much anyway. Majin-Buu (Fat Buu) was virtually unbeatable since he could not be destroyed. The what happened? They kept making him weaker and not so indestructible anymore. Same with most of the bad guys (and good guys as well). But, if they applied the same to Broly, then the story would end because everything would be destroyed and everyone killed. }D

As a kid I had always wanted the G1 dinobots but we were too poor and I always knew better than to ask my folks for them. Fast forward 25 years later I finally have a set of the baddest autobot squad to ever grace the television screen. Yes, it is a KO set and no it is not perfect. However, I finally have the silly set

But, if they applied the same to Broly, then the story would end because everything would be destroyed and everyone killed. }D I like Broly, he's my favorite of the Saiyans. I cancelled my pre order cause I want to pick it up at the next toy show. It's usually a little cheaper at those show cause of no additional shipping fee. In a one on one fight Broly is the strongest. But fact is, he was killed by Goku and his boys and was beaten with the combine strength in the first movie. So he isn't indestructible and the most powerful. Broly is a movieverse only character. Power levels differ in the movieverse. The 4 movies that is part of the original story line is Bardock, future Trunks, Vegeta's Brother Turble and the new Battle of Gods. They are making a sequel to the Battle of Gods later this year call "revival of F" and the F is for Frieza. Back to Broly, I would like to see SS3 Goku fight Broly. But that never happen and I think Goku would put up a good fight but still not enough to beat Broly. But with the addition of God Mode, he would easily beat Broly. God mode goes beyond Gogeta in power. As for why Buu keeps getting weaker, you have to understand that when he was first revived by Babadi, he was a fused being and had the original Kid Buu inside him. When Bibidi created majin Buu, his first form is Kid Buu, very primal. It got weaker as it absorb each of the supreme Kai's. It turned fat after absorbing the fat supreme Kai. The fat Kai was the most kind which is why the fat Buu has the personality of innocent/baby. Goku and Vegeta separated fat Buu along with everyone he absorbed when they were inside Buu. Which turned him back to kid Buu. Since Fat Buu no longer had Kid Buu inside him, he got weaker and less indestructible. As for Broly, you said that he was born powerful, no training what so ever. That means when he was born, he has already reach the pinnacle of his power. Which mean it can only go downhill as other progress and got stronger. Goku and Vegeta strive to get stronger and constantly reach new heights. Broly would need to do the same and reach new transformations to be more powerful.

Broly would need to do the same and reach new transformations to be more powerful. Well, I don't want to transform this thread into a DBZ discussion that happened a million other times all around the web... But I'm just too passionate about these things In the first Broly movie, he owned every single opponent without a problem. He even got blasted by a kamehameha at point blank range, and wasn't even scratched. At the end of the movie, Goku asked everyone for some energy (of course), and he absorbed almost all of: Gohan's energy, Trunks' energy, Vegeta's energy and Piccolo's energy. That's a lot. Then he threw a punch to Broly's abdomen and killed him Or so we thought! Well they "brought him back" for a second movie, even if by then he completely lost his mind and acted more like an animal rather than a rational being. Again, kicking everyone's arses until the very end of the movie, were "magic" happened (I won't get into the details here, but it's a ridiculous scene anyway) andBroly gets blasted into the Sun and then vaporized Let's not even talk about Bio-Broly Well the point is, the more time Broly spends while in LSSJ mode, the more his energy increases. And it keeps rising and rising, it's in his DNA! It's not a normal super saiyan like Goku or Vegeta, when the more you train (or the more you almost get killed ) the stronger you become, no, Broly gets stronger just by raging. So if you want to kill him, you need to do so before he gets too strong. That's the strategy to follow. It kinda makes sense in the first movie (even if I hate the ending, too anti-climactic and lame) and it... nah the second movie's ending is just bollocks, Goku literally gets a Deus Ex Machina performance there, and even so, they shouldn't have been able to repell the Omega Blaster... But these are just the words of a Broly fan, don't mind me... *sniff*

Like I said, they had to "get rid" of Broly, otherwise the story would have ended rather quickly. }D

In all the other movies, the baddies die in "conventional" ways, right? Either destroyed by a spirit bomb, or by a very powerful kamehameha, or whatever. Then you watch the (first 2) Broly movies, and you get pissed at the end because of all the nonsense and the absurdity of the final blow that they have to deliver to the legendary super saiyan in order to finish him. And why do those movies end in such absurd ways? Because there is no way to beat Broly, unless you're the author/director of said movie TMZ, are you gonna get that Figuarts Zero EX Goku SSJ3 that's coming out in May? I am, that's for sure

The Figuarts Zero statues are awesome looking, but TBH, I prefer the action figures. They will never look as good because of the joints, but I'm all about being able to pose them. }D

Back on to the topic and my contribution to the topic, got these two just before Christmas. I like the official Hasbro Arcee. Easy fun transformation. Nice paint apps and good set of weapons. Nice overall sculpt too. Face is sculpted nicely. Both robot mode and alt mode look pretty accurate to the original cartoon. Only thing I dislike about it is that it is a bit of a shell former. The backpack is the front part of the car and doesn't hide at all. Overall still quite good for a typical $14 toy. The MMC 3rd Party Arcee is absolutely beautiful. It sports a much better sculpt. Transformation wise, it isn't as fun. It's not a complex transformation but just the clearance issues. Parts has to be just right and things get in the way of one another. The alt mode is nice and compact and does look good through. It's well built, the joints are almost all fiction types and they are strong and tight. Some of the joints have soft ratchets. Everything holds well and stays in position. The only improvement I would have suggest to them is to shrink the size of the head. This will not only help with he clearance issues in transformation but would also make the figure much more proportionate. As is, the head looks a little big, especially when I stand her next to other Transformers. Back to off topic DBZ talk. I like these DBZ discussion. We all watch the same movie but have different interpretations. To me, not being a huge Broly Fan, I don't understand the concept of him being all mighty and powerful with unlimited power. He was portrayed as being unbeatable to show off how powerful the Legendary Super Saiyan mode is, and perhaps the writers shot themselves on the foot by making him too powerful. But the character was never intended to be indestructible and unbeatable. The way I see it, the story is teaching that no single entity is as powerful as a unified group. Even legends can be beaten. Fact, he was killed by the combine power of Goku and his Sons. Gohan put up a bit of a fight against him in the second movie. And Gohan wasn't even at SS2 when they fought. Which is why I choose to believe that SS3 Goku could of done some damage to Broly. I don't think Goku could flat out beat Broly as SS3 but it would be interesting to see how far he could get. Fuse Gogeta would wipe the floor with Broly though. And God form, Broly wouldn't even be able to touch Goku before Goku beat the Legendary form out of him. Vegeta was only able to land some hits on Beerus in Battle of Gods cause it was some what of a surprise attack. But if you choose to believe that Broly is unbeatable and instructible, like TMZ said, nothing beats him and the story ends.

But you seem to overlook that, just like Goku, Vegeta, and the rest of the Saiyajins, Broly also increases his power at will. So Goku goes to SS4, so does Broly. Goku goes to God Mode (which was pretty weak if you ask me)...well, so can Broly. I agree, the writers screwed the pooch when they created Broly. }D

Falconhood, can I ask why you post pictures of music CDs, games, and movies here? The title of the thread is " What's your most recent toy purchase?", not "What is your most recent purchase?". I'm not trying to be a thingy, just wondering why you do it... }|
