S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[Silrian]

What I don't uderstand is that white-eyes krillin isn't just the same orange....

 

[blogness]

So, wasn't there someone on this board who said they'd get reall mad if Tamashii was gonna do a simply headswap on Goku and release it as ultimate gohan?

Or was that me? I don't remember, cause I wanted U Gohan... But I remember someone being mad, and that's usually me...

That might have been me. If they were gonna use the same body they could have at least done it in a different color.

Wtf TFS halloween special and it's got content that I can't remember from the series at all....

Celloween: A Flight Out of Cell » Team Four Star

No dear god three different orange gi's!? The colour difference between krillin and goku is already clashing enough. Everything should be the same colour ffs.

I don't get why they have a difference between krillin and goku, it's so weird. I dislike putting them together.

 

[HavokBR]

If gohan's gi doesnt match gokus, i will use gokus body.... it will be the same anyways

 

[timone317]

It isn't like there's any consistency with Krillin or any of the other Gokus as it is. Look at it this way, they make Gohan with a red gi similar to Krillin's then that will make it possible to make Goku a bit more consistent with Krillin. I'm kind of surprised you aren't bothered by the thought of the Goku mold coming out again with nothing more than a new head. Idk, I love variants and if I'm going to buy Goku with a Gohan head I'd rather see them make a few changes to the gi (but not the skin, I absolutely love the skin tone on Goku).

No no no! I don't want another shade of orange either. I meant like his purple gi, but I forgot he doesn't have an undershirt with that getup.
I would have much rather preferred his purple gi so a simple head swap with Goku would give him a matching orange gi. I'm not complaining though, just glad to finally get a Mystic/Ultimate Gohan head.

As for Krillin's "orange"... eh... It practically looks red when he's next to Manga SS Goku. If he didn't already shoot up in price I'd get a second one to repaint a lighter orange.

Oh yea, I wanted to mention this when I posted my Namek Vegeta, this is the first figure that actually made me want a set of appropriately scaled (Namek) Dragon Balls. Something about that outfit just screams "Where are the dragon balls!?!?!"

 

[Silrian]

Who said I wasn't bothered by that...? I bothered by this whole line up, as I think I've demonstrated plenty. I think this year should've been Majin Vegeta, Kid Buu, Great Saiyaman (with 3 heads) and 1 of either OG Goku, Tien, or Nappa....

So I think one could say I'm bothered by all of this. BUT I do want a grown Gohan, and I do like him in his fathers robes too. So is it super cheap? Yes. But was it to be expected? Yeah, like Big D said. And at least the headsculpt is pretty great from what I can see, somehow they even made him look different facially from Goku somewhat, he has a good angry expression.

And the gi colour, I expected nothing less than an exact use of goku's release and that's what it seemingly is. I just don't understand for the life of me why Krillin is darker, yet has white eyes.
They also seem to go back to manga style judging by Vegitos hair and that bothers me too. He has practically no shading, bland yellow.

So yeah regarding the SHF's most of this for me personally is a disappointment. But at least I am getting an adult Gohan who was in my lat 6 most wanted list, so at least I'm happy about that... I hadn't thought of buying U gohan if he gets a darker colour release, that's... somewhat interesting. But I don't think that's happening.


In other news: on a youtube comment section someone said tamashii has confirmed a God Goku release? Where the hell did they find that!?

 

[Silrian]

Oh okay Blog, sorry, I was already like, wut how can he want that? But now I see. I had the luxury of simply wanting ANY adult Gohan in any form...

All I want from the buu era is a Z fighter line up of minimally a goku, gohan and vegeta that are all time period accurate. And my second sdcc piccolo would be added to those. Hopefully I could add a ssj3 Gotenks (or less preferably trunks&goten) and I'd consider that my JLA-mirrored Z fighters display.

Then (pay attention crisis) I'm gonna rearrange ALL android releases into a massive battle scene. And maybe a seperate part for earlier releases.
I'm gonna move my entire collection except the buu era z fighter group away from my shelf and back into a detolf, with effects and ****, that's the kindof future hobby prospect.

That's kindof my master plan if you will. And as one can put together, that's not too far away from completion actually, adult Gohan was one of the biggest missing links. So I guess that's why I'm relatively fine with a line up that's not what I hoped overall.

 

[Angelo2113]

Just checked Ebay and I guess I missed the train for Datong SSJ Vegeta?

Still groggy from the coma that Tamashii put me in. I didn't know about Datong scouter Vegeta either. I guess I need to check this thread more often.

Damn, that came out of no where. I knew once Scouter Vegeta came, Super Saiyan Vegeta's price may be pushed up, and it did for around $40, but there's barely any left and they're going for like $200. May as well buy the original S.H. Figuarts for that price.

Datong Scouter Vegeta is fairly new, within the past month. He's popped up everywhere on eBay.

Yeah I'm sure you're right. Still makes me grind my teeth though. I'm impatient!

Would be great if they managed to sneak in one more before SDCC. It will indeed be interesting to see what they do.

I know, I know. I want all of them now, too.

That would be great, especially if the SDCC Exclusive is going to be Super Saiyan 3 Goku.

 

[Angelo2113]

oh and at SDCC we'll see nappa and he'll be the first figure to release in 2016

Nappa prototype may be a possibility at SDCC, Tamashii should be able to have all the information on the Broly sales by then.

@Blood yeah I'd say 2015 is
feb/ma 16
april/may vegito
august Buuhan (-tenks)
October U Gohan
Dec SSJ 4 Goku

Now we should do a simple poll how many people are okay with this because... everyone can say 'be happy it's exciting bla bla' but I think the majority wanted something different...

That line up sounds about right to me. I can imagine Super Saiyan 4 Goku being the last release of next year.

I'm content about that line up.

yass those wildnerness effects are amazing. I'm pretty sure most of us are happy that Tamashii has no intention on ending their DBZ line anytime soon so no worries. However we are also mad that our wallets will be a lot lighter in the coming months ahead so it's a double-edged sword

No kidding. If Majin Buu comes with three different torsos, I'm leaning towards buying three. I'll more than likely buy at least two Adult Ultimate Gohans. ...Super Saiyan 4 Goku is going to completely take advantage of my bank account. ...All-in-all, I'm quite ecstatic even if I start living in a cardboard castle.

 

[Angelo2113]

That might have been me. If they were gonna use the same body they could have at least done it in a different color.

Also:

Damn, that looks awesome. I can't wait until my other two Datong Scouter Vegetas get in!

Would you have been satisfied with a Buu Saga Tien? I honestly would love to have that specific attire of his. I really like the design.

Super Saiyan God Goku has to be a rumor. They may have thought that was the Goku they were planning to release next year.

 

[The_Philosopher]

I think we need to get a general consensus on what colors we want the rest of the releases to be:

Option A: Match the remaining characters to normal Goku's orange

Option B: Match the remaining characters to Krillin's orange

In option A (manga colors), everyone excluding Krillin would match, but they will look like the manga covers.
In option B (anime colors), everyone excluding Goku would match, and look like the Anime.

But remember, in option B Goku's body can be swapped with Gohan, making all the characters match.

Personally, I want option B, recolor all the pending releases to match Krillin's orange, that includes Buu gi top as well.

I'd say B as well. I'm more for Anime colors anyways. I'm hoping my OCD can deal with the color difference should I ever decide to do a Z group display.

Would anybody buy a Figuarts Bulma? If so, which version of her is the most iconic & recognizable?

 

[Big Deano]

No chance. Yamcha I just about stomach since he is still a fighter (lol), what do I do with Bulma? Have her tutting at Vegeta? Come on, leave the non fighters to statues.

 

[Silrian]

I can't choose for 3 reasons

1) B won't happen, Vegito reverted back to manga, that is imo simply proof that the manga colours remain the priority to appeal to Japan (apparently)
2) Rereleases seem unlikely, which means that we'll never get the characters we now have in manga style, in anime style. That's not a guarantee in anyway though, but it IS a risk. And I'm not sure how that pans out...
3) In the event of A I'll have to buy some things I already have again, which kinda annoys me, because I kinda attach the literally the individual piece I have, and it's a hassle, especially given point 2.

All in all I think it's just clear they've reverted back to base manga releases... I really dont' get Vegito's bland hair. Don't get krillin's dark gi. It;s all weird.

I think we'll never have to choose because tamashii won't choose. They're inconsistent, and we'll just have to make the best of that.

I want anime release, let that be said, but I'd prefer it if I never have to buy an sdcc exclusive again. Piccolo and Gohan were the most important for me because those actually have real color switches. and I got those. So... In all honesty, I think option A is for me the least risky, grudgingly.

Buuhan, Gohan and Vegito are all manga coloured. We'll have to face it: they market to japan in first place and it'll remain so.

Absolutely, my favorite look of her is Cell Saga.

 

[JUN10R]

Namek Bulma and Dragon Ball teen bulma are my favorite

 

[nickshaw2814]

I think I'd have to pass on Bulma. Not that I don't like the character I just don't see how she would fit in with the rest. I mean I guess if they released her and she came with a dragon radar and the dragonballs I'd be tempted but I never see her, Roshi, Chi-Chi, and those types of characters being made. If they did I would want Oolong and his pair of underwear he got from the dragon lol
