The most Unnecessary Upgrade Kit? | Kefla Review/Upgrade

base kefla is so underrated, the black hair piece looks badass!

"She is pretty good with her head" "Her body feels tight, in a good way." Thank Kami I knew the context, but my childish mind still thought it was funny lmao

That type of sticker is called a water slide decal. It's used in some model kits for extra details.

The smaller faces help level out some of the proportion issues the original figure had. Kefla is one of the worst they did and I really hope someone gives a better version down the road. I really like the base head and is going to be how I display her until/if they do a resized Super Saiyan head. I REALLY wish we would have gotten all the new faces in each tin in each color instead of the chest. Hopefully a new one is done down the road that includes more base faces.

The only time she is shown is in battle so there is no reason for the chest part to be there, her world will be erased if she loses there is no time to be hornsy

Yea, this Kefla action figure has issue with crotch/diaper piece which really should be soft plastic to avoid the paint scraping. I got two of her for standard figure and these upgrade kits.

Those painted on white half moon shaped glistening "effects" on her teal pupils on the actual SHF faces are such a nice touch. They make them that more cartoon like. I hope we'll see that on other figures in the future. They should call the upgrade kit a "pervgrade" kit though.

THAT CHEST PIECE IS NECESSARY FULLY

The chest part is 100% needed 🙏

The chest piece is not necessary, however i love it.

While I get what they were going for, I don't think a simple head swap really works, to get across Base Kefla. She is buff as a Super Saiyan but has a pretty slim petite frame in her base form.

I sold my Kefla a while ago. By far the biggest issue is the hard plastic crotch piece. If any company was going to do a proper upgrade kit for her, it would be swapping that thing out. It both damages the figure, and limits articulation. The next worst part was the head. Her face is just comically oversized, which looked ridiculous, and it is incredibly heavy, making her difficult to pose effectively without a stand. So alternate heads would still be welcome by me. Even just another version of the Super Saiyan head that is smaller and made of lighter plastic. Those 2 things together would get me to buy a new one. But honestly, even fixing those 2 problems, the choice of single jointed knees and elbows they went with still aren't great. Possibly the worst I can remember seeing on a DBZ Figuarts. It really is baffling to me why it almost felt like they decided to reinvent the wheel with this figure, except doing everything worse than they have in the past.

That was probably the best ad break ever! 😂😂😂

I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be interested in the chest enhancement...but not sure I'd be willing to crack the figure apart to do it. Bummer...

Who clicked because of the thumbnail 😏

to answer a question regarding the custom faces with the sticker like effect, plastic model kits overseas come with blank face plates and a special sheet of additional eyes and mouths. you cut the desired eyes and mouths from the sheet with something like an exacto knife and let them sit in water before applying them very carefully to the desired area once soaked long enough, the end result being akin to a fusable sticker that semi bonds to the plastic part.

🤣 I think they put all of their efforts in the "wrong" details

The base form head looks really good I might pick it up since I recently got my kefla.

Whoever let the people who made the chest piece cook is insane bro 😂😂 💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️ 💀 also nostalgia could you do a collection tour???

13:39 Extreamly necessary.

12:44 man the creators of this where down bad and we know it😂

I never actually knew they made upgrade sets for SH figures, though as a Transformers guy, I should have seen that coming. lol I might need to see if there's anything worth getting for either of my Vegeta figures or my Picollo!

This is necessary for making her proportionate to the anime. The default is massively oversized. Though the new chestpiece is just silly.

I think the red is a fanmade Super Saiyan God Kefla. The first face gives her the SSG eyes that Goku had when he turned SSG, and the second face is a more Kefla styled face.

Brilliant "ad" Jonathan * do not eat magnets "Thats the good stuff"😂 BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT once again ,doing things in action figure reviews for the FIRST time ever! Awesome review!

Matte finishes will always scrape off regardless of whichever manufacturers made it because it's paint sprayed on top of plastic parts. That's what paints do they scrape off when rubbed against. Not unless the plastic itself already has a matte/flat texture but that's rare in action figures.

You could always get the bardock super saying hair sets or the full powered armored trunks hair set as well would be cool

TBH if the color matched the chest "upgrade" would honestly look better. The original was undersized. Beats me why this one forgot to wear her sports bra... but well at least it's closer.

they put way too much detail on that chest 💀 most definitely was unnecessary to show the nipples that exposed 🤦

I can agree that the added chest piece was unnecessary

most replayed is absolutey wild

8:26 you're thinking of Water Slide Decals. Used in a lot of model hobbies. Warhammer, model cars, model boats, model plains, gunpla, zoids, and I'm sure lots more.

There's nothing unnecessary about a better rack. 😎

this is the kind of upgrade they should make for #18

The chest piece wouldn't be nearly as bad if it actually matched color. I personally think it's pretty good. A bit sexy but good. She's still powerful and badass. Plus there's the whole heating and glue melting thing to install it.

I actually think the chest piece looks better then the defeat by a lot if the colour matched at all. But the process of actually putting it on is kinda extreme.

I think that in terms of the faces, the official one is pad printed, and the kit uses water slide decals. Pad printing is what I think is used for a lot of different figures. I know that Good Smile uses it for stuff like the Nendoroids, and even non-Japanese companies like LEGO use this technique for printing. Water slide decals on the other hand are super common for models. They're essentially stickers without the sticky residue, and you can print on top of transparency instead of a white background. I think the decals on the face could have been cut just a bit closer, but hey, it's still pretty good overall.

Damn that Matt finish cracking on yours is crazy homie, personally I haven’t had that happen to mine yet, but to be fair I haven’t really posed my Kefla around a ton, I basically just messed around with a few poses when I first got it then put her on display & haven’t really messed with her since, & I like the base/black head sculpt shit looks pretty good, but the loose neck joint & that clear vinyl or whatever on the face plates is definitely disappointing, so I’m kinda glad I ended up passing on ordering these kits, cuz I was originally thinking about getting both of these kits because I somehow I accidentally ended up preordering 3 copies of Kefla, but I ended up just selling the two extras I had instead

My man really sitting here asking why they added bigger bahonga gongas

Lol potara rings lol. Hell, that might have been a better route to go than the earings

I know nothing about Dragonball but I thought the red hair version looked pretty awesome.

bro did not wanna disrespect kefla during an unboxing by showing her getting kamehmaha 3 times 💀

Well the red fan fic kit with the chest piece could only headcannon make sense if Kale is the dominate one in the fusion since she was the bustier one. Also she was the one with the pony tale. In the show it was clear that Caluifla was the dominate one so it was the super toned and typical spikey hair saiyan look. If anything you would think the fan fic version would be a SSJ3 imagining. But yeah they need a BUFF ARMS kit, not a busty chest kit

The ssg form is so badass I hated that got overshadowed by blue

BTW the red hair is a reference to how throughout the entire fight with Goku, Kefla just keeps overstating how powerful she is, even taunting Goku by saying "Maybe I should just go Super Saiyan God right now."

To avoid the Kefla scratches, you must dip it to a 4min. boiled hot water in a mug and leave it for 1-2 minutes right after you got it out of the box.

Not a bad figurine I agree though the color for the secondary kit is a little off I'd rather it be paint than sticker no other complaints though do the stands hold up well always had issues with stands

man that chest seems hard to put on lol, however the SSJ god kefla looks sick.

"She's pretty good with the head" "The body feels pretty tight, in a good way" "joints weakening under the pressure" Buddy.. Keep it up.

Nothing wrong with a little nipple for our action figures lol.

the decal lines would be easy to hide with a coat of varnish (maybe satin?). it's commonly done for warhammer miniatures for example. works quite well with little effort

Fun fact, the whole tournament of power arc canonically lasted 42 minutes

Unnecessary part? I wholeheartedly disagree 😂 Some of us collector folk like sexy figures - Though the colour doesn’t match and that’s a lot of effort so it’s a no from me 👀

That Chest Piece was 100% necessary!

lol I though you had a milk shake sponser at first NICE

I bet if you hit those faces with some matte top coat that would take the shine away. Or some microset, thats what I use with water slides on model kits, Im not sure the science but it like dissolves the sticker and makes it look like paint vs a sticker.

Rellay, like the black hair version shame it doesn't fit by itself

It's official Every female DB Character doesn't wear Bras 💀

5k toys needs to bring back the kefla kit

i think its a good idea to have parts to upgrade a character to fit your own taste even if its a bit sus

imma need that chestpiece

That sliding kamehameha is cold

Do you ever get accessory packs? Like the Casket of Cruelty or weapons packs by Mcfarlane or Valaverse. I have the Casket of Cruelty and I love it. I use alot of stuff in it plus I use the actual casket alot

To be fair every accessory is considered unnecessary. But I got to admit it’s not worth going through the efforts for the chest replacement, especially since the colors are off.

rip toriyama man i'm sad

why not put a small piece of paper to the hole of a black hair one so it can fit tightly?

There are at least 100 reasons why I need that chest plate included.

aint no way they really added a aprt to expand her chest💀💀💀

I like to think the kamehameha upside down slide is a reference to that goofy scene from dragon ball evolution where he head slides across the bully’s car

The additional "details" in the second chest plate don't really bother me as a rule (because logically speaking, they probably would be visible at times), but the chest plate in general alters the silhouette too much for my taste. The contours made to accentuate her anatomy just feel unnatural, like she's wearing a top made of cling wrap, as opposed to the original chest piece which is more accurate to her apearance in the show where she just looks like she's wearing something form-fitting. Don't get me wrong, I don’t have any issue with niche or fanservicy models, but if something is ostensibly trying to be accurate to the source then it should represent that.

Not even familiar with DBZ so I did some work and watched that episode and number one, holy crap that's a cool fight, and number two why did this set have to make it horny? Just seems gratuitous to me

Great video! It is a little strange that it comes with that chest piece. I am kind of disturbed. Maybe a little too much detail..... Heads were cool tho! If I had the character I would buy the base black hair set!

the dinosaur in the backround blinked in the begining

Oh man the leg spread is the best part of the figure and it isn't enough

Excellent mid scene! My Figuarts collection is pretty small. I brought four back with me from Japan years ago. I wasn’t too impressed with the joints. I liked the posses they could get, but I was afraid I’d break them, so they into a tub they went. I did just get a Monsterarts Shin Godzilla. He’s a beefy boy and I liked how solid it feels compared the figures I have. Your reviews are tempting me to finally buy the Sailor Scouts, though. Those are still decently priced. Power Rangers and Turtles figures for these get stupid.

Oh yeah, even when I saw the first shots of this set, I knew that were I to want it in the first place, the nature of colour-matching plastics on a mass-produced level was going to be a nightmare. It's a shame that they also didn't really have the sculpt work in a way where the head was actually secure. Not feeling their stuff. Also, truly a shame that Kefla has that issue with their finish, not to mention the quirks with the sculpt. I sincerely hope some company like Demoniacal Fit produces their own unique sculpt, maybe with both canon heads in the box?

(Kefla's favorite TFS character is Vegeta) Kefla: Look at my nipples! look at them!!!!!!

i realy hate this upgrade kit like problem with kefla is the fact she is too short to be her manga desing but to less buff to be a anime version co exept of new arms and torso to make her more buff or longer limps they give her boobs ...

What is it with guys acting like it's weird to appreciate feminine physicality with female characters? DB isn't a series for toddlers that needs to be squeaky clean and this is a 3rd party option pack. Acting "weirded out" isn't defending the honor of women or making you look more progressive, studies show girls gravitate toward attractive role models because they consider beauty powerful, and curves add to that. I get it if your only genuine problem is that it's "off model" though, but in that case just don't use the added part and don't indirectly shame people who do.

You're becoming one of my favourite creators

Me: *gulp* Also me: *trying not to let my intrusive thoughts win*

i’m gonna be *that guy* but… why do we have amazing upgrade kits for almost every DB figure but then we have this h*rny sh*t for a woman figure?? i want a high quality Base Form Kefla like made by Demoniacal fit or tonsen art, idk im tired i don’t need super tidies in my toys i want them to be good btw really nice video, i have this figure and i think it’s pretty nice as it is, also enjoy a lot that nervous laugh you randomly do 😬

first

"it's bad when it's the front because that is the main viewing space"

Its a shame the chest pieces color didnt match. I like the shape of the upgrade piece. It looks more natural. And gives the figure an overall more dynamic shape imo.

Ignoring the chest she looks amazing

earl sindclair with the xmess sweater in the back is pricless XD

I loved seeing people get heated over this on instagram lmfao

Details are good.

oh hey i wonder what the most replayed part is "gets traumatized"

i was gonna like the chest piece hole heartedly but that color difference is unforgivable

I’m surprised there’s no “something just snapped, something inside of me”. comments 😂

Big chest is a must

Loving the Dragon Ball content! I'd like to see you review the Infinite Latent Super Power Super Saiyan Trunks (The Re-Issue with the shiny hair) or Imperfect Cell! You've been my go-to SHFiguarts Dragon Ball reviewer when it comes to the figures i'm interested in that you have reviewed. Love the content. very entertaining!

Epic kefla moment

I read the rules "Be Civil" ... I dunno man, Respectfully, Its ENTIRELY necessary!

I love you channel bro, review amazing!!!👊🏻😎

Really no need for that chest piece, just fan service but I still think the other pieces are dope

Her finger needed the kit because she had little accessories for $65 also it’s just cool to have other accessories for the figures
