Why I Don't Collect Dragon Stars Figures

Hello everyone, in this video, I tell you exactly why I DO NOT collect Dragon Stars action figures. Whether you agree with this video or not, do not take this as me talking down on those who absolutely adore these figures. This is based solely from my own experience and preference between Dragon Stars and S.H. Figuarts figures.

This figure line is the very definition of hit or miss. When a figure hits, it hits hard. When it misses, it misses hard.

@@Hyperlegend03 😂 I can agree with that

[@SmugStick]

They're good for the price, good for starting out

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

@SmugStick That's what I agree with. If you are on a budget and you want cheaper DragonBall figures hey have at it.

[@Icthyologist]

No they are not. The problems with these figures aren't that colors/proportions are a bit off, or missing paint apps, or pose ability issues. The problems with these figures are that you pay good money for a figure only for it to be broken straight out of the box. Most of the guys in this comment section are complaining about QC issues. If this were a problem with a free mini statuette that came with a DVD boxed set fine, but when you pay money for something it shouldn't be a coin flip as to whether or not the thing is broken or not.

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

@Icthyologist you make a very good point. Whether you pay $200 or $20 you shouldn't be worrying whether or not your figure will be broken out of the box even before you handle it. Unfortunately that is the reputation of the Dragon Stars figure line.

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

@TheSaiyanDoge I'm just your average action figure collector voicing my opinion. I'm just here to participate in the action figure collector space. If you find these videos engaging and entertaining then that's great. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video.

[@scoscgaming]

I fully agree with quality. I've got 6 of the Dragon Stars line, Saiyan Saga Vegeta broke within 10 minutes of use, Nappa had the exact opposite issue with legs so wobbly I can barely get him to stand, Super Buu and Kid Buu are decent, Omega Shenron is surprisingly good and the Perfect Cell is probably the best they've made to date. Someone else commented the line is hit or miss, that's the perfect description. My strategy is to buy S.H. Figuarts for characters I truly care about, and Dragon Stars for characters that aren't that important to me or until Figuarts releases a better version. That's why figure reviews are so critical, figure reviewers are the best vetting process for collectibles. Great video!

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

@@scoscgaming my experience with them was awful so I refuse to buy them again

[@scoscgaming]

@@Figures_of_Action_Reviews That's completely fair! Vegeta was my first experience with them, they do NOT give a good first impression at least 20-40% of the time. The only ones I'll buy are ones that I just don't care enough to spend $80 or more on (Like Omega Shenron). I do appreciate the points you made on the cost of Figuarts, that always determines my preference on them. There's honestly zero reason to buy a $24-26 Goku or Vegeta, when there are $35 options that are significantly higher quality

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

@scoscgaming that was one of the major points. If 10 dollars wasn't going to break your wallet why go cheap against the same figure that is better in quality

[@scoscgaming]

@@Figures_of_Action_Reviews You hit the nail on the head when you said if the $10 isn't absolutely necessary for something else, Figuarts is get what you pay for. Even a bad Figuarts figure is leaps and bounds above Dragon Stars at their best. The Cell and Buu figures I have displayed are on borrowed time. Once they make a new Cell and rerelease Super Buu, they'll be gone faster than Yamcha to the Saibamen

[@supersonicernie9827]

That’s actually a cool strategy, my strategy is that for Dragon Ball Evolve and Dragon Stars is to get characters that I care for and characters that SHFiguarts hasn’t made yet or have made but they’re expensive on the aftermarket. For SHFiguarts tho, I only get the characters that I care about.

[@Icthyologist]

I got into collecting 6" scale figures a few years ago with the Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black Series. When I first saw Dragon Stars in Walgreens I wasn't originally interested because unlike those other figures you could get better figures from Japanese Imports. Eventually I caved when I saw Final Form Cooler for like twenty bucks. I got it out of the box and it's head came off. I couldn't get the head stay on. I looked online to see if this problem is common, the videos I found were tutorials in how to modify the figure to make it good. The S.H. Figuarts might be more expensive, but at least the thing isn't falling apart in your hand.

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

@Icthyologist As you can see in the video that's a common problem with entire line. Not just one figure in particular, but the entire line is a toss up of whether or not your figure is a "fall a part" figure.

[@AyeYo_FRANKie]

I don't care what anyone is saying, these are cheeks, I'm talking early 90s history teacher who's single CHEEKS. Some....

[@firestarsantos7467]

Neat( depressing) fact: You fell hook line and sinker by comparing them with SHF. Dragon stars and SHF are both made by bandai and all of the problems dragon stars posses is built on the fact that bandai does not want to compete with themselves. If dragon stars were of higher quality with their low price point, why would people purchase their "premium" figurearts that vary from cheap to $90 dollar with some having terrible QC and abyssmal availability? Quick answer: They wouldn't or have a lot of people collecting dragon stars instead. Bandai gives dragon stars their limitations willingly so people can look at SHF has a better alternative and get them hooked, it is a purposeful limitation not an error.

Well, also, SHF rarity is veeery artificial Big resellers (mainly chinese) act like they're running out of P-Bandai exclusive figures, then the moment Bandai rereleases a figure as an SDCC exclusive or even a general release, they open their massive storehouses and start trying to sell the previous release like crazy at aliexpress for up to 50% less Case and point: Battle Damaged Jiren, Raditz, SS2 Battle Damaged Gohan, SS1 Vegeta (maaaan this one's crazy, it went from 200 usd to like 60-70 sometimes), SS1 Trunks Scalpers thrive on SHF figures, and Bandai could do lots of things to prevent that but they rather keep their best releases exclusive to regions/events. It's so dumb

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

I don't have a problem with anyone buying those figures. You're right, if you want to buy cheaper figures cool, but its a definite gamble on the QC end. Now I buy $100 figures all the time, but they mainly Mafex, Mezco, SH Figuarts, and other imports. However, the quality is definitely much better. I buy Hasbro figures (Marvel Legends, Fortnite, GI JOE) all the time. However, when I want premium figures I save for them and buy them. Dragon Stars figures don't even have ab crunch so that is another no for me.

No shade intended, all respect. Its a money thing tbh. The DS Nappa was $21, there was no price on the Figuarts.... how much was it? No shade, but DS are $20, most places have them from $10 around here. Figuarts just started the cheaper ones. Like seriously, they were $60 MINIMUM until like a year ago... cmon. Online prices are always higher.

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

@leviathan_is_me so I did pay over 100 dollars for that Nappa S.H. Figuarts. I said I wouldn't battle it out over these figures because you have some people that don't want to hear others' opinions just shout how great Dragon Stars figures are for the price 😂. You seem to be different, someone who can listen and offer dialog, not just ridiculous banter. Yes, Dragon Stars are cheaper, but that's because they are of cheaper quality. The figure design is very simplistic with Dragon Stars. Also, let's not act like the facial design is top-tier look alike quality. Jiren S.H. Figuarts is much better than Dragon Stars in both design and quality. That is why I said if people need to buy the cheaper alternative then cool. Not everyone can afford a Mercedes, but that doesn't mean people aren't supposed to buy Mazdas. SH Figuarts have been 35 dollars since 2017 as well. Young Gohan was not 50 plus bucks. My stance is that if you can afford a $35 Figuarts why buy a $20 DS knowing it could fall a part soon as you open the box. I even save for what I want that is expensive. I'm not buying knock offs to save a buck. If I want something that I can't afford at this time I save for it. Some of these people are so whacky they are saying how great DS figures are because they are cheaper but at the same time buying Haslab projects. I hear and understand your thoughts which is why I was willing to reply to you.

[@leviathan_is_me]

@Figures_of_Action_Reviews Thank you for taking the time to do so. I realized I was doing the exact thing you were saying in the video (couldn't help it). Absolutely, yes. The DS line is BY FAR cheaply made. Look at the UI issue with the clothes paint...how did that even get out the factory, lol. I own many of the $35 S.H. Figuarts figs and agree 100% with what you're saying there. When I see the DS for $10, though... bet. Thanks again for replying to me. At the end of the day, we are all fans and choose to represent how we can. ✌️

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

@leviathan_is_me You are most welcome man. I may poke fun at certain toys but it's never out of disrespect. I wasn't always at a point where I could afford the things I want so I know what it's like to have to choose cheaper options. That's why I don't make fun of people. None of these figures are perfect. They are people who like Super 7 but I don't. I think they are too expensive and look weird but even the ones I found on clearance at Walmart I won't buy. We each have our preference. I hope it didn't seem as if I was talking down. I'm just here to share my experience and love for action figures. I'm here just to be in the mix. I appreciate the conversation too.

[@leviathan_is_me]

@Figures_of_Action_Reviews Never even crossed my mind (talking down). I collect a lot of things, some of which are not cheap (guitars), so I don't mind DS, lol. The availability is another thing I didn't mention. You can find DS from Walmart to Gamestop. Mainly, we have to order the others' sight unseen and sometimes that's risky. My Rose Black had a paint run on his eye...

[@MyNameGoesRightHere]

DB stars is an affordable toyline for kids. In contrast, SH Figuarts is clearly aimed at collectors at premium prices. So obviously they can't stand a comparison. That's why I feel that saying that Stars are trash is kind of harsh (which rhymes, hahaha). The question here, in my opinion, is whether a Figuarts character is worth three times or more than a Stars one. And I would argue that they are absolutely not. Figuarts are bought by adults with deeper pockets, and they are way, way overpriced for what they are. It's just that we are paying crazy royalties. Plus, Bandai doesn't want to compete with itself. So it offers two toylines; a regular, and a deluxe one. Obviously, the regular figures are purposely made so they don't cast a shadow on the deluxe ones. Bandai's idea is expanding their pool of buyers with a cheaper option. And if some of the premium figures buyers purchase both lines, even better for them. I'd love to see the sales of both lines. I bet Stars is a much more successful toyline than Figuarts because of it's much wider target, more affordable prices and availability.

I used to religiously collect Dragon Stars when I first knew about it back in 2022. It went for over 9 months of buying common and hard to find ones until I realized I just collect it because it's cheap and up to that point, I was just forcing myself to like it. I thought I could've gotten myself a handful of SHF for the total price I spent on Dragon Stars. The one that irks me the most about these Dragon Stars figs is the scale . They just don't make sense. Vegetas are just as tall as the Gokus, kid Gohan and Gotenks are just too tall, and Krillin is almost as tall as 18 its hilarious lmao. On the brighter side, I can say that the newer ones look pretty cool now namely the ones starting with the Super Hero Line. I thought Super Hero Goku looked pretty great. Head to body ratio is just right (V2 Goku's head being too small) and face sculpt actually looks good for a base Goku. Vegeta ist still tall though.

There are plenty of figuarts that costs only 35 bucks while some Dragon Stars costs 25. It's not that huge of a price gap for the quality difference. Dragon Stars are garbage even when compared to other figure lines in it's own price range.

@@TheSaiyanDoge Marvel Legends can be kinda lazy and just do the bare minimum most of the time, but they are indeed higher quality than Dragon Stars. I don't find them comparable to figuarts quality however. Sure they have similar points of articulation, but when you have two of the same character side by side it's a night and day difference. A good example of this are the figures for the Spider-man final swing suit from No Way Home. Or hell, figures for any of the three Peters from that movie. Another line I thought of that is better than DS is the Gundam Universe line. Made by the same company at the same price point and quality gap between them is huge. The only real gripe with that line is the lack of accessories.

[@Finfection]

It's easy to compare Dragon Stars to figuarts, but even when you compare DS to other figure lines in it's own price range such as Marvel Legends or Star Wars Black Series they look bad. Hell, when compared to various 10 to 15 dollar Jakks figures for different franchises they look bad. DS should for all intents and purposes be much better than what they are. Mattel WWE figures are better. The Jada Toys Street Fighter line puts them to shame and they also cost around the same. The damn 10 dollar Dragon Ball Evolve line even looks better and has better articulation. There's just no excuse. I also want to point out that BBTS isn't a good representation of the prices for the exclusive figures. They mark them up from their original premium Bandai price. A figure that costs 60 bucks on PB will costs 120 on BBTS. BBTS imports them and resells them at a mark up. No different than buying from a reseller on ebay or a collector group. For all intents and purposes the BBTS price is the after market price and not the actual retail price. General release figures are however listed for their actual retail price.

@Finfection so I thought about buying all of my import figures directly from Japanese stores but after that shipping and handling you end up paying just as much so I said forget about it. But if you know another place that won't charge you 50+ bucks for shipping please by all means let ya boy know

[@Finfection]

@@Figures_of_Action_Reviews Amazon Japan. Hobby Genki and Nin-Nin. I've never had to pay that much for shipping import figures. I think the most I've ever paid is like 15 bucks. You will usually get the figure much earlier than the western release as well.

I agree with 99 percent of dragons stars being complete ass but perfect cell super baby 2 and omega are in my opinion really good release

I don't like the knee joints on dragon stars. They look awful

The reason why people Collect them is to Customize them or either Sh figuarts hasn't made a Character yet but Dragon Stars made them so to just get it as a Place Holder I saw the Dragon Stars Baby Vegeta was pretty good also the one time Dragon Stars Cell is better than Sh figuarts Cell now that SH Cell is a Bootleg🤣

[@shawnclauson8478]

The dbz sh figuarts bootlegs are way better than dragon stars

[@shockwave727]

Shf dbz figures are most of the time overpriced or just never in stores the only ones you see are the base Goku and the horrible ssj Goku from the cell saga

[@Figures_of_Action_Reviews]

@shockwave727 must be a distributor thing I've seen multiple different characters in targets near me

@@shockwave727 Im in the south as well and I don't know how the distribution is, but it seems some areas have a stock full of figures while some other areas are dry.
