Anyways, I think I'm out on the Shodo Pokemon. Not only are they being unclear which Armored Mewtwo we're getting (original or remake), but I just noticed P-Bandai lists the height of Mewtwo as 70mm. That's taller than 66 Action Mega Man and shorter than Shodo Dragon Ball. I've lost almost all interest. Maybe in hand pictures/videos will change my mind.

You appear to be right on the DB figure, which I find shocking. Not only were the hip joints very similar to the Japanese SAGA line, but the overall engineering and sculpting is superior to Bandai America's Dragon Stars line in regards to accurately depicting the style.

As for the Shodo Pokemon, that's certainly concerning as i was looking forward to that as well. I still might go for it, but for some advice I would look as the BBTS discounted Variable action Mewtwo as a substitute that is closer to scale.

Mewtwo is 6' 7", or 79 inches. At 1:18 scale conversion, that about 4.4 inches or roughly 11.2 cm.

The Variable Action Mewtwo is listed at about 4.5 inches or 11.5, which turns out to be close enough for a figure intentionally made to look proportionately aesthetic to a 1:12 display as oppose to source material.

The only downside is that some of the decisions in paint and engineering makes it less than a down-scaled d-arts.
