S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[Angelo2113]

@Nick yeah that's nice man, somehow I like the massive space you use to display them. It gives more of a sense of the distance within the battlefield, as DBZ often takes place in wide open spaces.

This is how I have Cell these days (I wasn't intending these to post so they're not exactly refined.)

Spoiler

And because my Cell is pretty loose and has so many joints I'm getting tired of the effort of putting him in good poses so I think I'm keeping him with the effects statue-like for quite a while. It's menacing to me how he's smiling and charging that kameha, and it at least I'm using some effects for once.

Glad we caught you off guard then, Sil.

I really like the idea of the ground effect underneath him rather than being used for the Kamehameha. I didn't even realize you were actually using that as a stand. It's well hidden. Just the look of more than one effect in a display is neat and stands out.

Thank you, everybody! I appreciate the pictures of Perfect Cell! Mine is currently in this display but I'm going to try some of your great ideas...

Yeah I noticed last year how bad being a completionist would be in this line, thats partly why I didnt go for Arlian Vegeta. I saw that as an opportunity to relieve myself from having to buy every release, since I disliked it anyway, and knew it would be impossible for me to go back on the promise to myself with how much he has risen in price.

Dont get me wrong, I will buy most every release anyway, like Gohan, Vegito etc, but I have decided not to go for #16, sorry Blood

Its not that I dislike him, I just think that hes not worth the extra money compared to Broly in size, and they are bizarrely the same price....

 

[Angelo2113]

@Ang yes 'the worst' is indeed if Buutenks would be a separate release. I don't get his release AT ALL. If you're gonna release two super buus, make one of them at least the neutral tall buu.

I MIGHT still buy a buu, but I want one that looks like neutral buu, at this point I'm fine with either super or kid. I don't want the absorbed looks. And though Vegito is cool, I have no idea what to do with that figure, I literally wouldn't know where to put it. And honestly, he's kinda cool, but I'm not a particular fan, he was never meant to remain like that as the permanance of the earrings could have never lasted writing-wise, and he's only in a couple of eps. Not worth it to me. Every other time vegeta and goku will fuse they'll become Gogeta not Vegito. He's cool, but not important to me, and I'm not in the 'I buy everything I find cool' phase of collecting anymore.

Besides a gohan, a vegeta, a goku, videl and maybe gotenks and either super or kid buu, I don't need anything post-cell. It's kindof bizarre that I'm at a point where I probably WOULD have bought a kid buu next to a super buu, and now they're making neither.XD Bizarre.

@WVA here's a super short summary:
- Buuhan, Buutenks, Ultimate Gohan and ssj4 Goku were all shown and are the presumed next SHF Figuarts releases. They all seem to be manga coloured.
- SHF Zero had a new boku and vegeta saiyan saga beam battle, a Raditz, and a Bardock.
- They announced quite a lot of cool new effects and a DBZ rock-wasteland-stand.
- Recently in an interview from nycc14 we learned there's NO confirmation or decision made on web exclusive releases. And because of Broly's insane PO - numbers they might take another look at Shenron. He ignored Nappa, he said another vegeta release "is very possible" and DBZ is Tamashii's top selling line yess.

I think that's about the most crucial recap of all stuff. Most of us have speculated Buuhan and Buutenks are the same release, but I recently saw Buutenks has a three part torso which made me get weary of whether this is true.

Yeah, that's understandable and I agree. It would be strange to release them separately if it comes to that. I'm still holding out hope that they're being released together.

Well, the chances of Super Buu are pretty good if they sculpted the Gotenks and Gohan absorbed Buu. Hopefully they developed the base Super Buu and just added on. I think Vegito would be a really cool display once we get Buu Saga Vegeta. There's still possibilities of displaying him when he's released but more will open up in the future. That's understandable. Like I said earlier, it's cool to see somebody who knows what they want and chooses to stick to it rather than being caught by the collecting frenzy.

Ha, that is actually funny. Especially with the way Tamashii has been going with their villains in this line in the past, I was definitely expecting a Neutral Buu before and absorbed Buu. I'm glad they're developing those characters but the want for Super/Kid Buu has increased tenfold.

All I'm saying is the mould they're reusing is not perfect, and thus perfection is not an excuse to reuse it. And thanks Ang.

 

[Angelo2113]

Most of us here are excited for Vegeto, that's a must-buy for me. About the same Goku mold body, yeah I agree they should've switched it up by adding different ridges in his gi and such, but as the old saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it ya know? I could see if Goku's body was inherently a bad mold that they keep reusing, but it's not. It's just a gi, there's only so many ways you can mold a gi and this is the most visually appealing way. We're just being nitpicky about it to be honest.

How dare you point out our obvious flaws!

That is true. I've been nitpicky about other things but I can understand if somebody is getting tired of the same ol' gi. It hasn't really bothered me though because of how well the character design is overall. Vegito is impressive to me, especially considering the timeline of his development. I know there was disappointment at SDCC when the prototype was shown but the resculpt on it looks fantastic. I wasn't even thinking of getting him at first but when they showed what seems to be the final product I decided to get two.

 

[Big Deano]

Yeah I can remember when I first noticed the ssj3 shoulders and how bizarre not reusing them was, good times

 

[Angelo2113]

With all the hate for that figure, Tamashii probably wants to distance themselves from it. Which is a shame, to me especially, because I quite enjoy the figure a lot.

 

[Silrian]

Yeah ^ is also why I'm kinda like... I'm not gonna dish out that price for an undersized version of that character...

 

[Silrian]

Tamashii's definitely prone to seemingly irrational business decisions.

 

[Angelo2113]

Speaking of Broly, I got an update from Amazon saying he'll be released on January 15th. ...This is going to drive me crazy.

Edited: Although, I was told by somebody on Facebook about allocation orders for the first wave of Broly to the United States and this seems to confirm it.

 

[Big Deano]

After Christmas is probably for the best, they would get stuck in an infinte loop of post if he got sent on say, the 29th

 

[nickshaw2814]

I know how you feel! I've had Perfect Cell for awhile and decided to save up the money and buy an SDCC Gohan so I can finally have an interaction between the two. Still haven't perfected it but I'm still trying to think of ideas.

Yeah, definitely! No worries, take your time. I'm looking forward to them! It's awesome when people share their displays/shelves.

Here's mine...

They're in a state of limbo at the moment. I need one more stand to complete the Trunks/Androids display I have in mind, minus the background.

I like the display! Especially the way the androids are posed.

Those faces would have been cool accessories. Yeah, that's a good idea. I think I'm just paranoid with the hair because of the displays recently. Haven't really noticed a greenish tint to the hair in them but they may still be prototypes and not of the final product. Hopefully. Nah, if you buy another one, don't keep him in the box. It can't contain him!

I thought I saw it in some pictures and in others it's just yellow. That's why I said I'm waiting to see it in hand. I'm hoping the final product has it. But if I buy a second it would be really hard to keep him in the package as a display. He may get angry and rage out against me lol

I haven't gotten anything from Amazon except an email saying it's not shipped yet. That much I got lol but it doesn't have have an expected date anymore like it did.

Yeah, I really like the Androids' pose. Now I just have to come up with a really bad a** pose for Trunks.

Well it's strange because I don't know if we've actually SEEN the finished product yet. The one that was used in Out of Da Box video was a prototype, apparently. That's why I'm waiting for an official picture of him in the box or at least in the plastic to finally hit the internet so we can go cray-cray over it. You do not want to piss Broly off* but I say take a picture of him in and out of the box next to each other in your display case. That would be pretty cool.

Yeah, there's no expected delivery but the actual release date was changed to January 15th.

No, they're not photoshop

 

[The_Philosopher]

I'm excited for all the revealed figures so far, but they still need some work.

SSj4 Goku can't move his leg very high at all, Buu is slightly better, but I really wish they could kick higher.

Buu's height issues can be resolved by making his legs about 1.5x longer. And where is Vegetto's paint detail? Dude is so flat colored.

Also, about the pants sculpt, I wish it looked sharper, more creased, and more creases.

Hip joint will likely slide down like all figuarts, he'll be able to get his leg higher. also

SOLD!

 

[epitaph04]

Well i doubt these figures will be out any time soon...they'll get worked on
