I spent the last 3 years rebuilding the Dragon Ball Z figure collection I had as a kid, and this video is basically the whole journey in one big “Then vs Now” marathon. It all started with the one childhood Goku I somehow kept, and once I pulled that out again it sent me down the rabbit hole—hunting vintage pieces like the Super Battle Collection stuff and AB Toys Frieza, then putting them head-to-head with modern S.H.Figuarts versions. Throughout the marathon I compare the old school charm (and the old school limitations) to what we get now: cleaner sculpts, way more articulation, better paint, and accessories that actually let you build a scene. I also talk about what I learned from my earlier Super Saiyan Goku Then vs Now video, why I made the wild decision to unbox a sealed Vegeta, and the one thing S.H.Figuarts did that genuinely threw me off. If you grew up on late 90s/early 2000s DBZ, this is pure nostalgia—but it’s also a real look at how far the hobby has come for posing, diorama photography, and display.
