S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[crisis]

Well for a number of reasons:

1: he appears in the very first episode
2: he is the series first villain and our true introduction to the Saiyan mythos
3: his arrival on earth inevitably starts a chain reaction that decides the fate of all the characters in DBZ
4: long, flowing hair
5: he would be a candidate for a SDCC release in the future

Honestly I don't care if we get Nappa or OG Goku first, as long as Raditz is still in the running then I'm happy ^__^

 

[Bardoon]

Heading to the Baltimore Comic-Con and hoping to spot some deals!!!

I'm hoping some store owner has some figuarts and doesn't know what they're worth!

.......which at a Con is rare to find since they all troll eBay for prices....but we'll see. I'll let you all know what I find!

 

[FSLAR]

Score an SDCC Vegeta for a neighbor will you?

 

[blood]

I have no doubt that Captain Ginyu will be made. I actually only want him from the Ginyu Force to be made, don't care about any of the others being made to be honest.

Bardock and Raditz being released back-to-back would be freaking awesome. I can't wait for the day to see Tamashii post the outline of Raditz teaser. I'll mark the f' out.

yeah i wouldnt mind just owning ginyu too with an extra goku head to wear the scouter properly and the frog!
if they can make a 5-pack, great! if only ginyu, it's better than nothing

1: he appears in the very first episode - If you mean the series first villain then good point
2: he is the series first villain and our true introduction to the Saiyan mythos - Very true, good point
3: his arrival on earth inevitably starts a chain reaction that decides the fate of all the characters in DBZ - Not entirely true, gero with all his creations and Buu would've been on earth nonetheless. But considering training etc, still an okay point story wise.
4: long, flowing hair - Best point so far (this is a joke yet true). Also may I add, scouter and armour = win?
5: he would be a candidate for a SDCC release in the future - Can't agree with that. No new characters as exclusives.

But yeah, I'd buy Raditz, deffo. But I've said before, I will buy almost anything that wears saiyan armour, excluding gohan and krillin. And Pui Pui.

@Blood I'd really love to have Ginyu, Zarbon, 1st form frieza, saiyan saga vegeta, raditz and nappa all six together. Burter and Jeice I'd buy too but I'd make the 'goku time' battle scene with them so as far as villain group setups go I wouldn't mind just having Ginyu.

 

[crisis]

Can't agree with that. No new characters as exclusives.

what i meant was they can release him as he appears in the anime like normal, then when SDCC rolls around they can release him again only this time in his manga colors, since SDCC exclusives are mostly repaints anyway. They can do the same with Nappa if they choose to release him as well

Do you mean Cui? Pui Pui was one of Babidi's minions Cui was one of Frieza's understandable mistake to make

Great find 18's accessories is pretty neat. Pegs on his crossed arms though? That's new, quite interesting. His final production piece is looking good, not too bad. That said, now I really need to get Normal Goku and 18

@ Silrian: I think the gun in the holster can't be removed. They probably couldn't find a way to make it removable easily

Just snagged 18 and Krillin off barnes and noble for great prices head out and get 18 she was $35 so head over there whoever dont have her get her there cause shes rising in price everywhere else!

I have the replica set of Dragon Balls and unfortunately they're way too big to scale with Figuarts, even considering how big the Namek balls are compared to the earth-sized ones. They fit perfectly in your hands, so that means they're to scale with us regular-sized humans instead of action figures lol

I actually have found a set of Dragon Balls that could pass for the Namek versions for our Figuarts. Unfortunately I can't upload photos via my phone so when I get home (Sunday afternoon) I'll post em so you guys can judge for yourselves!

awesome let us know. I bought some that say 2.5 cm so thinking ill use those for namek and those other keychain ones that come with a mini figure t use as earth db balls since they seem smaller

For those that don't have 18 yet or want another one go on barnes & noble. Then make a account join the B&N kids club and you will receive a coupon for 30% off a kids book or toy. Mine came out to $27.96 before taxes after taxes $30.34 and free shipping. It did take a day for me to get the coupon.

man wish I woulda saw this earlier this morning since I just now placed that order bout 30 mins ago. Ghuess I'll do this for goku hopefully in 2 weeks before they sell out. With that i'll be caught up except ss3 goku and 17 here in a month or so. Oh and cell,frieza and scouter vegeta which a member here has on hold for me for cost

6.) Goku's older brother.

I always thought that was a huge part of why I like him, too. He's Bardock's first son. That's awesome. There could have been so much potential for him.

I feel Nappa gets the similar treatment to the Ginyu Force from me. They beat up all the other heroes until Goku comes and easily wipes them out. Raditz held his own against Piccolo and Goku, with the latter having to sacrifice himself to defeat Raditz.

I wonder if they would add another head to Raditz with the hair being pushed in so you can have Goku hold him from the back. That'd be interesting.

yeah i wouldnt mind just owning ginyu too with an extra goku head to wear the scouter properly and the frog!
if they can make a 5-pack, great! if only ginyu, it's better than nothing

The extra Goku head would be awesome! Exactly. I just can't see Tamashii going out of their way to make all of the Ginyu Force and it would be really cool to have Captain Ginyu.

what i meant was they can release him as he appears in the anime like normal, then when SDCC rolls around they can release him again only this time in his manga colors, since SDCC exclusives are mostly repaints anyway. They can do the same with Nappa if they choose to release him as well

It would be the opposite. The web exclusive release of Raditz would be in the manga colors and then re-release Raditz at SDCC in the anime colors. SDCC re-release seems to always be the anime version which is why I'm wondering what the hell they're going to do for next year's SDCC.

 

[Silrian]

My bad I meant Cui, yeah.

They'll never release manga repaints as american con exclusives, the manga is mostly made at all for japanese audiences. Makes no sense to make them exclusive to the wrong continent.

Whatever they'll do nat SDCC it'll be something specifically aimed at the western audience.

 

[Silrian]

I think I've done it Crisis, I think I've posed 18 in a way you'll find unprecedentedly boring.
"Where is my brother already!?"

 

[crisis]

Hahaha, magnificent!! However I believe everyone's Android 18 here is boring by default, until 17 is released

but we still need Future Gohan ._.

 

[Angelo2113]

When Radtiz is made, his face will most likely look like this...

 

[Angelo2113]

A movie character/version should be released once a year. I think that would be a really good marketing plan for this line.

 

[Anti-Wave Man]

Nooo! Early DBZ roundness is a must!

 

[blood]

When Radtiz is made, his face will most likely look like this...

it's vegeta with long hair! perfect for making a ssj3 vegeta

 

[Silrian]

I actually agree crisis! Woudn't have bought 18 without 17.

All saiyans look the same anyway... Or is that racist?

You a-holes. Now I want Raditz too. By my calculation, if saiyna saga vegeta retailed at 45 dollars, Raditz should be...*devides by 15*... 3 dollars.

Damn, I really want a space line up now of the three evil sayians, 1st form frieza ans his henchman. Saiyan armour and scouters for everyone!

 

[Silrian]

I wonder if Pwn has been forbidden to check back in here due to him being an official employee.

Or maybe he's already here under a new username?

 

[Killian]

That is very racist Silrian

 

[Big Deano]

Racist? Did I miss something?
