S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[dannym216]

Here is my datong ss3 head on a regular goku body. The peg on goku is to small for the datong ss3 head, unless you super glue the head to the body it won't fit. I don't know if the peg on the ss goku is bigger i don't own it so i wouldn't know.

I mean if you're talking in terms of the darker plastic used and the kanji on the shirt then yeah, it's a new torso, but you mentioned the mold. This is still the exact same mold used on every other Goku figure. worth a quote...



The bottom of the gi, which looks different, is misleading. That's how every torso looks underneath the obi. With the smaller belt more detail is visible.

I actually had to take my own normal goku apart to believe this but you are right and that is my bad. Due to shadow difference in the picture I now see it's misleading. I'm sorry about being fooled by that, thanks for clearing it beyond doubt.

The new facial expression...

WHY do all the links to the new face picture dont work for me? What expression is it?

I think by new mold, he meant new outfit (technically character). The actual figure itself is exactly the same as the normal one except for the coloring and the belt. This figure does count as a new figure though, since it's not just a repaint but a new representation of the character.

I did also mean the torso mould, I fell in the trap Timone just exposed to me. However, it still is a 'new' release, not a simple repaint, even despite the belt. They did half ass it a bit with this belt, but I can understand that and expected no more. The point is, it's a new release because it signifies a different era for the character. That wasn't the case with the sdcc repaints. This simply is a new release.

Who are these costumers? What kind of costumes do they make? Costumes for the stage and screen? Or costumes for people who misinterperate our annoyance as xenophobia? This doesn't have anything to do with Mexico or 'Murica. It has to do with exclusivity. SDCC releases are at least available online afterwards (at a small mark-up), so if this doesn't follow the same suit then I call bull****. But as Sil said, even an SDCC release for Namek Goku is no bueno. To release such a popular character to such a small customer base is asinine.

Exactly. Thanks for backin me Fat.

I'm officially calling this GokuGate

Guess we needed that humor after my rant.

I've said all there is to be said on my part regarding the info currently. If the new face is a face I really missed with the normal release, well just screw that. Ya'll already know I was disappointed in their main release of normal goku.

I would say something but it will be covered up but the complaining people do in this thread it's just a toy.

Apparently it's important enough for you to keep responding to it yourself so sorry but the 'it's just a toy' moral high ground I'm not buying. You're on this forum too, we pay descent dough for these, and we're here out of enthusiasm. If you're such a cool guy about it might as well not respond at all. EDIT: and let this 'gokugate' as prod put it pass you by. That's what I do when I find stuff unimportant, I ignore it. If you think your responses are gonna effect how much others post as a veteran on this thread you should know that doesn't work. If it's unimportant in your eyes, let it die, don't fuel it.

Also, what do you mean covered up? People here respond to others talking about the figure, no one voicing their frustration has kept that from being the case if that's what you mean.

This Goku should've been the first Goku release. Actually Saiyan Saga Goku should've been but whatever. I just hope the initial aftermarket price isn't ridiculous since I REALLY want this form of Goku. For collector's sakes, I hope they make a manga version (wow, never thought I'd actually want a manga release). Or they can just get rid of manga versions forever and do anime versions from now on. They gotta realize the international market is what drives this line. Japan couldn't care less about it. They need to get with the program.

Yea I'm voicing my opinion if it hurts you so much don't quote me you guys act like life will end if you get this figure it's the same figure you have just with a new face.

 

[Silrian]

Oh and forgot but thanks for the comparison picture Orbital!

 

[Baneofdemon22]

Awesome pics Orbital! I'm sorry, I forgot to thank you! Oh and those Vegetto pics look fantastic!

it's this expression

 

[tinlunlau]

If Smithers would buy a new Malibu Stacy for a new hat, I'm pretty sure the rest of us are gonna want another Goku for a new belt.

+1 to tinlunlau, this is an accurate portrayal of this forum


same thing will happen if they reissue SSj Vegeta but with gold boot tips, people will lose their minds

Your opinion doesn't hurt me at all but we're discussing this news and you enter the discussion by voicing your opinion about other people. You could've done what blood did, just say it's boring and stop posting. I don't have to quote you, you already included me in who you're talking about even if you don't name me, so you're the one who engages me, not the other way around. Taking the cool-attitude as if we're all obsessed is a nonsense exaggeration. People are excited over these figures, this is nothing but the other side of the coin, no need to act all too-cool-for-school about it. If you don't care totally fine. No need to condemn others for caring and if you do, accept that you step off your high ground and enter the fray yourself by doing so.

Also it's not just a new face and that is a fact so that's not even up for debate.

It seems to be one like this:

 

[prodigy1367]

I actually thought it may have been the SSJ Goku smiling face at first. Oh man, what a s*** storm that would've caused

 

[krec9]

I come here for news like everyone I'm a fan but seems like to fit in this thread I have to complain over a toy it will be up for pre order on a **** load of sites people need to come down a bit.

 

[Silrian]

Great.

 

[timone317]

I really can't say I'm crazy about the release simply because I know the torso/waist gap is just waiting to be exposed with that small belt (which was solved with Krillin, even though he has limited torso articulation) and if I miss this then I miss it and that's that (won't stop me from hunting it down though) BUT I do agree with a lot of the points raised. I feel an exclusive release was the only way to get this version of Goku and making it an exclusive is fine (as far as I'm concerned it applies in this instance, why waste another main release spot on Goku when we have two Buus AND another Goku waiting), but to make it so desirable, for them to show a willingness to squeeze in new face parts and tinker with the mold a bit just to get a variant (a dream come true for most collectors) and then to make it so difficult to acquire...what sense does that make? Maybe this was just commissioned from the Mexican distributors and was never going to made...and I'd like to think all the disappointment would result in a larger release but of course that won't happen for an exclusive. I guess the best anyone can do is hope this actually is the SDCC exclusive that happens to be sold in a new region this time around. and if not...

I come here for news like everyone I'm a fan but seems like to fit in this thread I have to complain over a toy it will be up for pre order on a **** load of sites people need to come down a bit.

that's pretty much what I'm banking on. It's not like the Goku has been out for months and is now impossible to find. For all we know it may be easy to obtain.

How do you know that? On sites that I wont end up paying double for through customs being a european? This is like one of the most desired releases ever, people ****ing forced tamashii into releasing normal goku and that wasn't even the version most people wanted. They might ****ing produce even less of these then for sdcc stock. This is plain BS. No one is asking you to fit in, talk about dramatising.

 

[tinlunlau]

Maybe Bandai should release Goku with a new hat...

 

[FatHotei]

I would say something but it will be covered up but the complaining people do in this thread it's just a toy.

If you don't care then don't post here. The end.
