S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[Android 20]

I always wanted to do something with Goku and Vegeta in their early Android saga outfits. Vegeta was actually stronger than Goku at that stage so I think it'd be interesting if the Androids never showed up or were late and maybe Vegeta goaded Goku into a fight by making some remarks about his friends and family or making some threats of something. The way that heart virus was bothering Goku at the time it seemed like it wouldn't be difficult to get him in a bad mood.

Anyways, a few pics:

Thanks for the info guys. I'm surprised they did a prototype of Super Buu before Kid Buu. I thought the fans voted overwhelmingly in favor of Kid Buu. I also thought I was the only one who preferred Super Buu.

Oii that Ultimate Gohan is an easy sell for Tamashii, all they had to do was literally make some new headsculpts & they're done.

Those Buus on the other hand are a bit more complicated. Will they release them in 1 package with interchangeable torsos & various set of heads, or just make em separate? Will they include the "standard" Super Buu as well, release that separately, or ignore it? And how long will it be before they release Kid Buu (the form most fans want)? Or are they just trolling us? It'll be interesting to see how they handle this

Didn't regular Super Buu only fight Gotenks? Until we get a Gotenks I don't think regular Super Buu is on the menu, unless you want to pose him with Piccolo.

Ultimate Gohan fought Buutenks and Vegito fought Buuhan so according to what they've revealed those two versions will likely get priority. Besides Buutenks and Buuhan are the only really interesting versions of Buu (in my opinion), regular Super Buu doesn't talk much.

 

[FSLAR]

Yeah in general, we probably need Gotenks first before a regular Super Buu. What I've noticed though is that the protagonist gets released before his corresponding villain - we had Gohan and later the SDCC variant before Cell, and SSJ Goku before Frieza. idk if Scouter Vegeta and Normal Goku really count, though Normal Goku was hinted at before Scouter Vegeta. I don't think the Androids really count however since they aren't 'main' villains

No, Ultimate Gohan fought him too, and completely dominated him.

I'd like to have a regular Super Buu just to pose him getting his ass beat by Gohan. I loved that fight.

Photoreview of Broly at Shishioh:

I love these! Especially that second pic. What energy effect is that from?

 

[davehammer]

That is the Galaxian Explosion effect from Bandai's Myth Cloth EX Gemini Saga, an initial production run exclusive
The base is from SHF Cell's Kamehameha

I sometimes hate the word exclusive lol because I want that energy effect. Looks sweet with Broly. Would just need to be made green

 

[akathelazy1]

Welcome to the forum Lazy1 Even though I have no interest in the character seeing the awesome Broly pics is making me want one, I'm so weak I usually use Anime Island but they're already sold out. Does anyone know any cheap sellers that are willing to mark down as a gift or lower the value? Cheapest I can find is Ebay for $120 with customs fees paid.

EDIT: I'm UK based.

Thanks for the welcome and I too hail from this dark and wet land. I was going to get one from Anime Island the other week but they must have sold out pretty quick. The seller I bought from on Ebay has relisted Broly: **Tamashii Bandai SH Figuarts(SHF) DragonBall Z S Saiyan Broly Figure Limited | eBay if you haven't already found somewhere else. If you were to order from say BBTS you'd end up paying virtually the £80 odd in item cost + VAT and Parcel Force/Royal Mail handling fees anyway. The guy does say he marks all his items as gifts and lowers the items value on the customs form (has to be below £36 if you want to total avoid VAT). Its worth a punt if you have something saved up to cover the purchase.

 

[akathelazy1]

Some incredibly cool pics on Broly popping up on here. Wish I was that good at taking photos :/

Really like the battle shots you put up Android 20, especially the Piccolo vs Android 17 set.

i believe a 2-pack has a better chance that a 1 pack with switch o' torso
but all in all, they'll be separately. that's my bet.

 

[Big Deano]

BTW, speaking of that effect in the Broly pic, there are copies on ebay selling cheap. Just search for ex display or around those lines. More than likely will be brittle though so fair warning.

hahaha forget about the real thing mate, that figure is even more sort after in the secondary market than SHF Trunks, SSJ Vegeta or SS3 Goku
Maybe go for one of the knock offs

 

[Silrian]

Okay, so, we have two releases and a (I'm assuming, the) rerelease for 2015 now.
16, Vegito
Manga Gohan

I'm going to assume that leaves two releases and an sdcc ex open.

It seems logical to me Ultimate Gohan and a hybrid Buu release are the last two release of the year. I do think it'll be a hyrbide Buu release, look at him, if they can make broly, they can put an extra torso for a nearly normal sized figure in there.

 

[Silrian]

I also kinda think 16 and manga gohan close off the android period for a while. I'm afraid the closest thing to a new trunks will be gotenks or kid trunks...

Me too (unfortunately). The best candidates from the other sagas, in my opinion, are as follows:

1. Nappa
2. Any saga Tien
3. Any saga Kid Gohan
4. Gotenks
5. Captain Ginyu
6. Recoome (not too much different than 16)
7. Saiyan Saga Goku
8. Namek Saga Vegeta (dark blue)
9. 1st Form Frieza
10. Videl

Thanks, I tried Ebay but for some reason that seller didn't come up in my search Already ordered from another ebay seller but am going to try and cancel as its about the same price but they're not getting it in stock for over a month. Don't mind waiting but not keen on my 40 day ebay protection expiring before I get the item.

This is so far my favorite "pictorial review" of the figure...

?????? ???? ?????? S.H.Figuarts ???? [???????????Z ?????!!??????????]

Edited: Do all Broly S.H. Figuart boxes say Dragon Ball Z?

Are there any golden stickers or are they all white and silver?

Not trying to start a sticker war, BigD.
