great vid and review congrats on 3k you deserve way more. i love dragon ball so much. the old animation has so much charm and nostalgia for me so im glad its getting more figures now
Great review as always, I want the whole kuji set I can wait for them once they drop here as Ichibansho figures. Just to correct you, the Dende figure with the lame Dragon Balls does have a stand for the Dragon Balls a clear plastic one to hold them in place. I recommend using the non official crystal clear ones, those look way better lol
Awesome review! The Pilaf Gang looks incredible, just like their anime and manga counterparts! Their likeness are perfect, and the colors are vibrant and make the figures really stand out! Looking forward to getting them in the future! Also, I realized that even though each Dragon Ball EX has been different (with the exception of the first one which was dedicated to the Saiyan Arc) they are by expansion their own individual line. Bandai could expand on each of them , and we will see more heroes and villians in the future!
@@MatchesPeaches Yeah, I hope the next Dragon Ball EX we see a Cell Saga themed Ichiban Kuji. Prize A, Imperfect Cell Prize B, Imperfect Cell Second Form Prize C, Super Vegeta Prize D, Super Saiyan Goku Prize E, Future Trunks (Regular or SSJ form) Last One Prize: Father Son Kamehameha Goku and Gohan
Nice review, thanks Matt! (I hope that is how you spell your name, if not apologies!) I am definitely picking up Piccolo Daimao, Goku and Tao Pai Pai from this set. Also I have managed to snatch Perfect Cell for a fair price!☺️
Do you have a video on different Masterlise variants? Like EX, VS Omnibus, Emoving, Ultimate Variation, etc. I am especially curious about its size comparisons. Are there differences?
@@gztoysandcollectibles for the most part! They typically pair really well together, but some figures (like UI Goku from the Extra subset) are a little bigger.
I recently got the Pilaf gang and had to pause your video and do a double take when I saw it came with a second stand for Shu. It seems the non Kuji D version here in the states does not come with the second stand for Shu. Mai and Shu also do not have Shu’s stand. I went to my local shop and showed them your video, and they gladly opened a couple different Pilafs to see if my box was just missing it, and none had it. So unfortunately non Kuji Shu is standless here in the states. He stands on his own, but used a little blue tac for him just in case.
If it’s from China - fake. Japan sellers are almost always legit but read their reviews prior to buying. Also - if the price is too good to be true then it’s probably fake. I hope this helps!
@@MatchesPeaches I'm pretty sure Garlic Jr. was made because they thought "What if Pilaf was actually threatening?" I'm not saying we shouldn't have a Pilaf figure. But that we SHOULD have Garlic Jr.
@@MatchesPeaches I mean in appearance. They're both child-sized blue imps with pointy ears that mostly rely on their minions to do everything. The only difference is, Garlic Jr. is actually capable of fighting, wheras Pilaf is just comic relief, and is entirely defenseless on his own Actually, most Dragonball film villains correlate to something that happened in the series Turles- Raditz (or Vegeta) Cooler- Freeza Slug- King Piccolo (this is the most blatant, he even makes the same wish as Piccolo) Android 13- Cell (he even absorbs two androids to become his most powerful self) Janemba- Buu Like, there's a lot of thematic similarities, but if you knew nothing about Dragonball, and were shown a picture of Garlic Jr. and Pilaf, you could be forgiven for thinking they were related. *(or even the same character, just possibly at different ages)
Pilaf, Shu, or Mai?
Hard to pick! Still excited for my pre-orders to release! Got a spot waiting for whole line!
Shu
great vid and review congrats on 3k you deserve way more. i love dragon ball so much. the old animation has so much charm and nostalgia for me so im glad its getting more figures now
I agree and thank you!

Yessir!

Me too! And thank you!
Man i feel like this set has been kinda slept on. These figures look great what a great way to show off the og dragonball
I agree

Wasn't much into Dragon Ball back in the day but this release line must be amazing for the fans of the show cause they do look great 🤘😋👍
You should totally watch the original! It’s so good
What are you waiting for either read the manga or watch the Original Dragon Ball, you won't regret it!!
glad that the solar flair wasn't enough to stop your review XD
hoping to pair these 3 with the new shenron coming out if i can get a hookup!!!
NOTHING CAN STOP ME

Last One Prize: Father Son Kamehameha Goku and Gohan
I am very tempted to get all 3 now 😅 also congrats on hitting 3k subs
You should!!! And thank you!
Great vid 😎👍 any non Kuji Trunks recommendations that would look good next to Mai, height wise?
No DBS ones. The Master Stars Piece might be okay!
Nice review, thanks Matt! (I hope that is how you spell your name, if not apologies!)
I am definitely picking up Piccolo Daimao, Goku and Tao Pai Pai from this set.
Also I have managed to snatch Perfect Cell for a fair price!☺️
Congrats!
@@MatchesPeaches thanks! Congrats for you on reaching 3k subs! Well deserved!:)
One thing never notice is how Mai in the future as the same age of Trunks, since Mai was already older then Goku?
Apparently future Mai also had the dragon balls make her young again
@@MatchesPeaches Thanks for the information!
@@MatchesPeaches Thanks for the information!
Great review!
Thank you!
Do these scale with Figuarts?
No
My pilaf comebwith one stand,is just me or someone else have the same issue?
Nice review man
Sounds normal
@MatchesPeaches Sounds normal now that I know why
Do you have a video on different Masterlise variants? Like EX, VS Omnibus, Emoving, Ultimate Variation, etc. I am especially curious about its size comparisons. Are there differences?
Yes right here: Top 7 Types of Dragon Ball Figures | Dragon Ball Collector's Guide: Part 1

@@MatchesPeaches are all Masterlise have the same size/scaling?
@@gztoysandcollectibles for the most part! They typically pair really well together, but some figures (like UI Goku from the Extra subset) are a little bigger.

Wow didn’t know that!
Oh now I see why my shu come without stand,I have the US version.
Awesome set!
Agreed
I love my new emperor pilaf model :)
Me too!
@@MatchesPeaches :)
How do you order these from Japan?
Connections in Japan! Check out the SMASH COLLECTING group on facebook
@@MatchesPeaches okay!
Muy guapas las figuras, sobretodo shu y mai
Nice
Is there a way of knowing if the statues are fake or real when purchasing on eBay?
If it’s from China - fake. Japan sellers are almost always legit but read their reviews prior to buying. Also - if the price is too good to be true then it’s probably fake. I hope this helps!
@@MatchesPeaches yes it does, thank you
Does your shu comes with stand? My doesn’t
It didn’t but I had an extra one with Pilaf for some reason
Hey bro do you sell any of these?
No but I put links in my description for pre orders that also support me and my channel
Where did you bought it?
I got it from my friend in Japan but there are links in my description to buy
Pilaf Gang Powaaar!
MWAHAHAHAHAHA
I really like it 😁
3K SUBSSSS
YIS
we get Pilaf but not Garlic Jr. lol
Pilaf is actually canon and Garlic has no relation to him other than sharing a dub actor
@@MatchesPeaches I'm pretty sure Garlic Jr. was made because they thought "What if Pilaf was actually threatening?"
I'm not saying we shouldn't have a Pilaf figure.
But that we SHOULD have Garlic Jr.
@@HeroPrinnyDood Garlic had nothing to do with Pilaf. His concept was built on the idea of an evil version of Kami. Everything Kami is, Garlic isn’t.
@@MatchesPeaches I mean in appearance.
They're both child-sized blue imps with pointy ears that mostly rely on their minions to do everything. The only difference is, Garlic Jr. is actually capable of fighting, wheras Pilaf is just comic relief, and is entirely defenseless on his own
Actually, most Dragonball film villains correlate to something that happened in the series
Turles- Raditz (or Vegeta)
Cooler- Freeza
Slug- King Piccolo (this is the most blatant, he even makes the same wish as Piccolo)
Android 13- Cell (he even absorbs two androids to become his most powerful self)
Janemba- Buu
Like, there's a lot of thematic similarities, but if you knew nothing about Dragonball, and were shown a picture of Garlic Jr. and Pilaf, you could be forgiven for thinking they were related. *(or even the same character, just possibly at different ages)
