S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[krec9]

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. This is plain BS. No one is asking you to fit in, talk about dramatising.

I won't complain about a figure I have already minus a few decals if I get it I get it if not it won't be the end of the world .

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.

Yeah, actually this release is NOT gonna be up for pre-order on ANY sites, according to the information we have. It's gonna be sold only at this one event and it's hard to get it even if you go to the event what with the magic golden ticket requirement. If it plays out as the information says it will, this Goku will be the rarest DBZ Figuart to date.

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

I'll post wherever deal with it.

I'm sure some retailer will get it and charge a arm and leg for it they always do.

This Goku isn't gonna be easy to get. It's one per person and you have to have that ticket. The only people that can sell it are the people that are willing to part with it. It's not the same situation as an SDCC exclusive. If it were then we wouldn't be flipping out about it. It's an iconic release and it's gonna be EXTREMELY limited. I'd rather get it from a retailer than from a random person on eBay but I don't think that's gonna happen with this figure.

That's is the fun the hunt back in the old days of sideshow trying to PO a piece was nuts.

 

[prodigy1367]

I'm getting this Goku one way or another. Even if they do come out with a manga version, for my personal collection, THIS Goku shall be mine. Aside from the chaos this release is causing, he's the perfect representation of Namek Goku. I wonder if he'll come with a senzu bean bag?

 

[Jayrod88]

I wonder if, IF he will cone with Namek dragonballs.

 

[krec9]

I wonder if, IF he will cone with Namek dragonballs.

If that were to happen this figure will be very pricey .

 

[prodigy1367]

I wonder if he'll come with a Porunga?

 

[HavokBR]

He'll come with Namek

I didn't buy anything from sideshow, but I used to hunt for DC Universe Classics in stores. There were actually people that would get the bar codes, so that they could go back at Target and ask the employees to get them before they went on shelves! I think that's a reason more people are in online collecting communities to re-ignite that feeling somewhat. I can't say I'd want do that with these figures since they're so expensive!

Nice name/song drop there crisis! That is an epic song.

So am I the only one who noticed the difference between the faces and hair in the pic orbital posted comparing them? The shape of the eyes is different and the hair is also a little different. His bangs appear to be a little shorter and the piece on the top middle is wider and shorter. Unless its the angle, but either way the eyes look different.

Yeah that's your opinion, that's fine. I have a different one, deal with that. I'm not calling you out on yours, you called me out on mine (on the group mine belonged to). Don't start a discussion and then act as if your too cool to discuss it... Or do, your loss cause you're fueling the fire you want put out.

I'm in this to get good figures for reasonable prices, couldn't give a **** about 'the hunt', I have better things to do and better things to spent money on than overpriced stuff.

Tamashii needs to release widely desired releases broadly and retail accessible. Win win for everyone. Not doing so is dumb. /discussion

Exclusives give that ora of " Must Have" which brings in a large profit. Sadly this line has gone from a heavily fan supported line to nearly 75% sales going to scalpers. I am all for exclusives, as long as they are obtainable through retailers outside of the event. If its sonething like an added decal or small paint change, I could care less. But, if its a totally new character, then I understand the outrage.

I wish there was a photo teaser of the figure. Cause I could speculate all day long. Nappa, lookin at you!

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.

Yeah, this Datong release is pretty crappy. Got mine today. The body sucks, the pegs on the base don't fit together, and the giraffe neck looks really bad. I put the Datong head on my legit SSJ Goku body, and like Danny said, unless you superglue it, it's not going to be very secure.

The giraffe neck peg broke off in the Datong body, so I doubt I'll even try to sell the body on eBay.

Look Great!

Hmm I kind of want that Mexican Goku, but then again I already have the Normal Goku which looks pretty much the same. If I had more expendable cash I'd try to buy one though, but reality isn't as wonderful as my dreams.

Anyway as a lover of Dragonball ever since I was a kid, I've always wanted to have Dragonball toys as good as the Figuarts that we currently have. Unfortunately, for some reason, for a very well loved pop culture icon, the toys aren't easily available. I think these Figuarts Dragonball toys are the types that should be easily available at Toys R Us and other stores, not just via "web exclusive" things. If they want to sell exclusives, why not just make special looks for these characters? Look at Monsterarts Godzilla, one of their SDCC Exclusives was a "Burning Godzilla" that was translucent orange. Although Godzilla never becomes translucent orange in any of his films, it still looks good!

I just think that characters, especially important ones, are supposed to be readily available to all fans of a globally successful phenomenon like Dragonaball.

I don't remember having trouble finding any of the Ninja Turtles toys back in the 80s and 90s lol I wish Dragonball toys would be the same, easily acquired to satisfy fans of the series, with enough exclusive items that wouldn't estrange those who cannot afford to buy them or get them somehow.
