S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[Angelo2113]

people spend their money more on yokai watch now? but that doesn't mean one piece is losing popularity though. is the second best selling manga atm with attack on titan on 1st place. and it was for four years straight number one and the volumes still selling over 2 million copies. it's just decreasing in merchandise, because yokai watch. yep blame it all on that xD

I didn't realize One Piece was that popular to begin with.

However, Tamashii doesn't specify how "specific" their Web Exclusive policy is. Technically, Vegeta's appearance and look does change slightly from the Android saga to the Cell saga. He gets the yellow boot-tips for one and even goes through his "Super Vegeta" buff incarnation. I would even argue that he looks bigger (and is drawn with more muscle definition) in the Cell saga than the Android saga.

You are correct, the artistic style changed quite a bit for Super Saiyan Vegeta between Android Saga to Cell Saga, but Tamashii has already "accounted" for that. Which is why I'm expecting regular Buu Saga or Majin Vegeta to have the same arms and legs from Saiyan Saga/Android Saga releases of Vegeta. The only one that I could see Tamashii resculpting is Super Vegeta because that transformation is a significant difference from regular Super Saiyan Vegeta.

This is my entire DBZ collection up until now. I'm severely out of room and I want to upgrade my display to have more room horizontally so I can have more dynamic set-ups as opposed to vanilla poses. This is very much a work in progress but here it is. Putting it all in spoiler tags so to not hog up the whole thread

Spoiler

Super Saiyan Shelf

Non Super Saiyan/Minor Characters

GT/Movie Villains Shelf

DBZ Villains/Random Goku, Whis, and Beerus

Frieza's Ship

Oozarus

My fledgling DBZ statue collection

Deep within the pits of my closet, the mighty Porunga!

Hope you guys like it

This is an amazing display, I have Freezer's spaceship as well! did you know there is a variant of it
loving what you did with the obitsu & impact effects, i might have to steal that


btw i feel blood knows more than hes telling us...

The Wolf Predator is sort of a strange situation though and TECHNICALLY Tamashii should do that with Vegeta.

The Wolf has two incarnations in the movie. The regular version is how he "starts out", you'll notice he only has one plasmacaster and he does come with one item the Web Exclusive (or Heavy Armor/Heavy Armed) doesn't...the Cleaner Kit.

The Heavy Armed version follows the character's look in the second half of the movie. He used/lost the Cleaner Kit (to blow up the crashed Pred ship) and also acquired more weapons like an extra plasmacaster on his other should and picks up more shurikens and has the mines over his bandolier. Why did Tamashii do the character again and sell it as a "Web Exclusive"? Likely to make more money off of the molding and tooling that went into the figure and the Regular release didn't do as well.

no, it was decided to be an ex months before the regular got released.

this year's SDCC EX might be a Normal Goku repaint, or maybe even Broly

 

[Silrian]

Only thing I at this point can muster enough courage to hope for is a majin vegeta release. But that rise of F sign didn't do much good there.

As for the sdcc ex, whatever it is, it has to be something not that appealing to japan. And at this point I don't know what that could be other than an anime repaint of reg Goku.

There's an actual chance I won't buy a single dbz figuarts this year.

Possibly. I can see Broly being a repaint. Maybe Tamashii made more quantity than expected and they're using them for the SDCC Exclusive this year. It wouldn't be that bad of a strategy because it saves them from having to put any other figures into re-production.

No Manga Teen Gohan? (Why is he referred as Teen Gohan when he's 11 or 12? Wouldn't Great Saiyaman Saga Gohan be referred as Teen Gohan? Or is it just me who's referring to him as that?)

Don't worry, you're not alone. I've been on the forum* for a few months and posted a **** load of comments and I'm still not cool enough.

The video was amazingly well done. With that said, the sound effects may have been the best part about it.

Oh Angelo don't kid me lol you're at the cool table with blood and crisis and I'm just over here at the noob table

 

[FatHotei]

No one really looked at the video I posted lol I thought it was pretty cool

It looked great! Reminded me of Counter565. He used to do some amazing DBZ stop motion. These days he's been focusing on Avengers and such.

I've posted his stuff here before but it didn't get much attention either. Don't feel bad. It's the way of things.

No offense to anyone, you guys are neat in my book, but there's no cool table here. We're all nerds, bro.

A Broly repaint makes no sense to me, especially considering he already has green highlights in his hair.

Also, I think Gohan is 13 in the Cell Games... I think.

And I'm with everybody else, Cell Games Trunks would be gravy.

Yeah I agree its not like Broly colors are that different so it would not make any sense to me.

DAYUM! Are you going to collect the newly revealed Icon series?

I'm still not that happy with Broly's hair. The green should have been a primer rather than a highlight.

I looked up his age and according to most sources he was 10 but 11 including the year he spent in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

I don't THINK so lol maybe pick up my favorite heroes/villains but not complete the series. Almost done with the New 52 and I'm still looking for a few amiibo. Wish I would of got into the DBZ line sooner but better late [emoji16]

Oh yeah, that's understandable. I forgot to put that together how yours are all New 52 and the Icons are from all over. If it weren't for the articulation, I probably would have passed on them but now I'm going Pokemon on them.

Are the amiibos the Nintendo things on the bottom? I heard that's huge.

Edited: What's your favorite Saga/Character from DBZ?

Yeah, it could def be more green, I agree with you there, but I don't know if that alone calls for a sdcc exclusive repaint tho.

Gohan was 10 huh? No ****... Goku really puts that kid through the wringer. It's so hard to tell ages in dragon ball. Goku looked 6 until he was 18.

 

[Touchdown Syndrome]

SDCC EX is gonna be krillin with non white eyes and colored in forehead spots I bet!

I hope not but most likely.... Oh well I dont have him yet so i will pick him up if thats true.

At this point, they'll need any figure that can use a slight color change. I'm still holding out hope for Perfect Cell though. A lighter green for him could look really nice.

Yeah, the artistic style is crazy when you think about young Goku and young Gohan. Gohan is JACKED for an 10/11 year old and that's not even in his Super Saiyan 2 form.

Amiibos are HUGE. It's been a huge pain in the a** trying to get them all. I like them because they're actually really well done mini statues manufactured by Nintendo but scalpers have been having a field day buying and reselling. Sounds familiar [emoji19]

Absolutely love Trunks and the cell saga. No doubt my favorite. I went to NYCC last year and Bandai had a booth set up with a lot of DBZ stuff and I fell in love. When I got home and did research and saw Trunks was going for hundreds, I was instantly heart broken. Really geeked to see teen Gohan being reissued because he's another favorite but I really would want Kid Buu and like everyone else I want a Majin Vegeta [emoji28]
