S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

Wow, fantastic pictures Orbital Frame! Where did you get the Cell tail?

 

[Angelo2113]

Does anybody else like the new plastic packaging? The thin plastic cover rather than an entire layer. I feel it's much easier to open.

 

[Silrian]

Yeah I deffo do Ang! However, there's not inner tape anymore that tapes itn shut, so the outer tape on the box is the only remaining sign of MISB, that's somewhat more fraudlent-sensitive.

Thanks but not are my pictures (Shishioh is a japanese page with amazing photos) , that tail belongs to this Cell figure from Banpresto, friend:

I researched it before because they used that figure in the SS Vegeta photoreview:

Guys, I feel the vegito prototype head needs a little broader hair down near the ears, who agrees?

I agree that ur a picky ass mofo.....lmao. But yea I guess maybe it does, but looks cool enough if they dont fix it.

Bingo. How did you super glue Vegeta's hips? I've heard floor polish works pretty well, too.

I use this from loctite. Just pull down the lower half and that white bar thing that's there just put a little around it and push it back up. My first Vegeta was so bad that anytime you put it in the air his lower half would just dangle lol

Yeah, that's true. MIB, MITB, and MISB always confused me. I thought they meant the same but just worded differently. I suppose in this line, though, MIB means it's been opened but it's still in mint shape and MISB means it's never been opened.

 

[Silrian]

I actually retracted my statement Wolvie9.

I think it's some sort of angle issue, it's inconsistent in the anime too so, especially the black haired head I'm totally down with.

 

[nickshaw2814]

Got my SS3 head yesterday and got it all painted up and got my second SS Goku today for his body. Then I painted the extra SS head to make it kinda like it was in the Lord Slug movie. I always liked that almost SS look. One face painted the eyes white and the other left green but with black eyebrows. I almost wanna get another body now lol

 

[Angelo2113]

Ah, my bad, Orbital Frame. It was a good page to find though! That Cell is quite fascinating. I know it's just a statue but the pose they used it for works really well.

Yeah, my Super Saiyan Vegeta is a little sensitive from time-to-time. I'll definitely try this out. Thanks!

 

[Angelo2113]

You definitely give those bootleg heads a lot more depth, nickshaw. It's ridiculous.

Lord Slug Goku looks sweet, too. I was wondering if you're interested in dry brushing the hair with the same color that Arlia Vegeta's hair is? To almost give him that aura feel.

Oh, and you can really see that gold metallic paint pop on Vegeta and Trunks. I really like that look. They both are Saiyan Princes after all.

I hadn't thought about it but I might look into that. Would look pretty sweet if I can get it just right.

And I really like the gold on them also, really makes them stand out. The name of that paint was gold leaf. Bought it at a hobby shop a long time ago for a different project and had some left.

Check out this stop motion vid this guy did with his DBZ figs. Very cool.
I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.

Dragon Ball Z Stop Motion - Cell's return

 

[Silrian]

****in hell, stop motion isn't my bag really, but that one was impressive video effect work! Hell that fight was better than some in the actual series.

 

[Bardoon]

Seeing your repaint of the SSJ3 Goku head makes me want that Bandai re-release even more! That looks much better than the original release (wasn't a fan of the mustard orange outfit). Great job Nickshaw!

I agree 100%. I normally wouldn't post a stop motion video, but this was one I came across that was very well done.

That was awesome! Pretty decent special effects for a stop motion too lol

Thanks yeah I wasn't a fan either. I'm much happier with my version. If they do a re-release with new colors though I'll probably get it. If nothing else for the different faces. That's one of the only things that gets me with the datong head.

 

[Silrian]

I gotta admit, having rewatched the buu saga, finally, I really want buu era vegeta, a ssj3 goku repaint, world tournament Gohan and I won't be able to resist Vegito either. Don't think I'll pick up anything else from the buu era. I think, not in order, any Tien, any Tall Trunks, any buu era Vegeta, Nappa and Saiyan/Namek Goku is my definitive top five wanted list.

Hey Philo, I feel like doing the next part of your poll mate.

 

[Silrian]

It's funny, if you've seen dragonball, the start of the fight against Nappa kinda feels like the avengers, in the sense that they all meet and kinda team up to face an extra-terrastial threat, having never really done that before.

 

[nickshaw2814]

Any version of Vegeta I would like to get as he's my favorite but Majin Vegeta for sure. One thing I would love to see though are battle damaged versions of characters in the figuarts line and not the zero ones. That and some movie villains outside Broly. I'm glad we're getting Broly for sure but I'd like to see the different versions of Cooler, Janemba, Bojack, etc.
