S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[Snake Plissken]

They better make a Dr. Gero and Android 19.

If they do eventually release that #18, they will do a #17 no doubt so I wouldn't be surprised to see a #19 and #20.

 

[Jerntime]

YES

I need to know this too

if its the same color as the old figure, I'll pass. But if they gave him a new paint job thats in uniform with Trunks, Gohan and Vegeta, I'm game.

 

[KumaStyle]

It's just a re release of the first version with no shading, like the first version of Gohan. I think you guys are wanting the sdcc version.ill still take a pic shortly

BBTS has it for May, I would guess by June we will all have it.

I think what everyone wants to know is, have the stiff leg joints been sorted? and has the paint job been improved on the eyes?

The issue i had with the original Goku was how the eyes were done; not enough paint on the pupils and as a result he comes off looking quite evil.

Oh, and if the legs are still stiff, can I suggest that you get a ear swab/ q tip, and dip it in cooking oil, and dab the ball joint to grease it up, will stop any unintentional snapping.

His pupils were almost none existent.

 

[MaxGoof]

Has anyone else noticed that Trunks, SS 3 Goku, and SDCC Gohan are all starting to sell out and go up in price?

I wonder if Bandai will re-release any of these?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Haven't checked costs lately. I find it surprising SS3 Goku is going up in cost since it didn't sell well.

 

[krec9]

Damn need to get trunks before its to late.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Damn need to get trunks before its to late.

Don't waste anymore time, it will be 150$ soon enough. Haven't checked prices in awhile.

 

[wolvie9]

Crap i need to get him then. Or maybe just wait till con and buy them from their store

 

[Snake Plissken]

Rule of thumb with these figures is to get them as soon as possible before you become an idiot like me and buy SDCC Goku at 150$

 

[blood]

bleh, the power ranger figures arnt even out yet and they're listing those for 100 euros already and sailor moon too >_>

 

[KumaStyle]

That is stunning man.

Thank you very much.

Since I didn't own the original release, I can't answer if it's better or worse.

And thanks for the grease tip, but I own the whole DBZ cast at this point, so I'm kind of use to maintenance on these figuarts. Fortunately, I haven't had that problem yet, but have read about it a LOT.

Here's a picture of the re release, and I threw SDCC in there for anyone wanting to compare. Sorry I don't know more about the original but hopefully the pic helps:

Looking at the pic, it seems like the pupils have the same problem you were referring to.
