This review is from: Dragonball Z BanDai Hybrid Action Mega Articulated 4 Inch Action Figure Perfect Cell (Toy)
When I bought this product, I was expecting to be able to use it for more than just standing there, but all of the articulation and joints are wasted by a poor overall product. In the package, the toy looked amazing, just waiting for me to open it, and get my hands on it. The excitement built a bit, but once I untied it from the plastic bindings and grabbed it for the first time I knew something was wrong, very, very wrong! His arms were left in the package. It made no sense, I took it out so carefully, what had happened?
Well it turns out that the developers didn't make the product like any action figure i had seen in the past. When I was younger, if an arm ever fell off one of my action figures, it could be popped/snapped back onto the ball joint that connects to the rest of the figure. This and the other "Dragonball Z Bandai Hybrid Action Mega Articulated Action" figures do not have ball joints that pop in and stay locked on. What they have is a peg with no size variants and nothing to hold it in, except the loose hole they originally fit into. So, in other words, these toys are going to fall apart all the time. No need for rough play here, just a tug and both his arms can come out.
This was by far the funniest action figure of the fall-apart-fest for these specific toys. I took him out of the box and both of his arms were still stuck in the box. After pulling them out and putting them back on, I noticed these pegs were wide, but so short that even regular arm movement disconnected his arms from his body. While I was trying to keep his arms in I noticed his legs were really loose. Within five minutes of him being open his whole body was in pieces (the only two that stay connected were his head and part of his upper body). His wings don't stay on well at all either.
Unless you plan to keep this in the box or on the included stand, I do not recommend this product at all.

We ordered several dragonball z toys; however, this one arm keeps coming off. This one is poorly made. We hope to exchange for another.

What Hurts About Cell is He Was Broken IN Package..., April 16, 2010

I do not Reccommend This Figure At All...
First of All When I first Opened the Blister to Take Cell Out I was Expecting something Great Because He had also Arrived With Vegeta...
Vegeta Looks and Performs Rather Well Despite his Right arm Popping off Every Once in awhile...
But Cell's Right Arm Was Already Damaged Before I even took it out! The Peg Holding his Arm had been Snapped in Half... The Other Half was still inside the Figure...
I Made the Effort to E-mail and See if They'll At Least Send me a Replacement Because Like I said... He isn't Much Used to Me Broken Like this...
I do hope They Will Send me the New One... Because this Really Hurts...
Only The Second time I've Ever Bought anything from Amazon.com and It's been partly Ruined From a Defective Figurine Broken Before I even got it out of the Blister...
How Sad is that?
