I think it's safe to say DBS is mostly about how delicious Earth food is :lol
in almost every episode (including BOTH films) there's at least 1 scene focused on the characters involved indulging in some incredible delicacy. The entire motivation for the Champa arc solely relies on him swapping Earth just for its food

That's the one thing I hate the most. No drama whatsoever, no real threat. It's so childish and silly but not in a subtle way like DBZ was. I feel most characters have had their development ruined or have even gone backwards. Goku is a straight buffoon now. Sure he wasn't the smartest tool in the shed but now he's a bumbling idiot. Maturity level reading: farmer.

With the continuous price increase and less appealing look as well as accessories for some of them, I'm starting to lose interest in "collecting" them all. Beside awakening Goku and Saiyan outfit Trunks, which are the confirmed release, everything else is meh.

You know, I wouldn't mind a Datong 2011 Bootleg Goku...I really wouldn't!

Greater than Awakening Goku?

Bane, what have I said about betraying lines?

I'm doing this out of loyalty to myself, I'm not gonna live my life the way the boss did! :lol

Who would be loyal to this line? :lol Super Boo and SSJ4 Goku should have been released last year. Regular Goku should have been released a long time ago. They release a definitive Goku at SDCC and then show if off at a convention—like they do with a lot of sold out figures—just for kicks. I've looked across various sites for the past few years that had polls for their most wanted figure, and it was always Majin Vegeta. They show off SSJ3 Vegeta at a convention. They show figures off for years and then delay long pre-order period for figures that are just lazily detailed head swaps. They have terrible communication with their fans, despite it being one of their biggest lines.

I would definitely say DKR Batman is better than SWA Goku, but it's Goku, so I like the Goku figure better. I like the SSGSS Goku figure more than the upcoming Trunks figure, and it blows that Goku out of the water.... but it's Goku, and Goku's my boy. Although, I only use the regular Goku head for that figure because that SSGSS head's a waste of money...just like a lot of Tamashii accessories. Loyalty to Tamashii? Pfftt....a fine joke, my dear friend.
 
We're not talking about Metal Gear which you keep deferring to. We're talking about you Bane :lecture Show some loyalty, no preference, just toys.

That said show some more loyalty to your boy, not to a bat! Who ever heard of such a thing? Why it's absolutely crazy! They oughta lock you up in the loony bin, and cure you! Though maybe they'd fail. I should know...

That wasn't a Metal Gear quote. I told you I'm completely over that franchise. That must have been a coincidence.

Well as much as I love Goku, I have to be honest. Should I have said that Peace Walker and MGSV were better than MGS2 because Big Boss was my boy? I guess that's not the case because those games took him dragged him through the angsty mud and made him a lousy coward...lousy no good...nevermind. You were right. I shouldn't have used a quote from Metal Gear. :lol
 
You said 'the boss', who could have you meant?

But hey! You made the first step in admitting to...something! Good job kiddo. Uncle F is proud! Now we gotta do something about that bat....just kidding!

Oh Bane...I love ya sometimes, you're an amusing little guy. That ends this discussion I guess :lol
 
I think whats sort of off putting to many fans is that the ssjg transformation has effectively been made into simply attaining god ki, which isn't tied much to sayins at all. SSB is a ssj who achieved god level ki, which is incredibly generic. Definitely more boring than a new transformation specifically for sayins, like ssj4. Even I, notoriously loathing GT's designs overall, admit that ssj4 is better than ssb.

The power theyve achieved is very uncharacteristic, it's imply god power nd gods are so elevated in ki that they require less bodily mass. I can see that latter thing, it's both sort of funny and also clearly resonates old ma masters who looked quite thin. The asian notions of gods are often different than our often roman inspired ones, with a heavy emphasis on ohysical musle perfecting and body building. DBS is elevating fighting to more energy and texhnique based forms. This obviously makes it very easy to throw in all kinds of whacky designs, which is clearly what Toriyama likes.

But he doesn't hone in on the aesthetic nor the lore that many fans of DBZ specifically have come to love. So far DBS is as much removed from DBZ as DB is. DBZ was conistently about sayins and their power potential. That's no longer the case, which can rectify the focus of dbs away from chars who are all saiyans. For someone who's fav char is piccolo and started this franchise without the concept of a sayin except the monkey king influence, it's not so surprising he's veering away from it. But obviously, specifically DBZ fans will be disappointed with this, as saiyans are thr prime iconography of DBZ.

I think we need to accept that DBZ is the story of saiyans. It starts with Raditz and the sayin revlation and it ends with the sayin prince acknowledging his last fellow pure blood (except tarble I guess?). DBS, though expanding sone background lore, isn't about sayins anymore... I've just made my peace with that tbh...

Very well said, Sil! I enjoyed reading that post.

I have started to think of Dragon Ball Super as the transformation into the gods. Thus leaving out quite a lot of characters similar to how Dragon Ball Z left out Yamcha, Tien, Krilin, Chiaotzu, and etc. The gods just aren't as captivating or interesting as the Saiyans but that may simply be because they haven't gone too far into the background or lore of the gods.

Here's a snapshot I took of PC Trunks. His coloring and tones are great, sturdy joints, easy to stand. The peg hole to attach the sword strap is a bit tricky to get in (I've read it's a common issue, but once in, it stays), and it had a tiny bit of paint rub on his left boot on the side. Other than those two minor concerns, this is no a no-brainer: get him

Pretty cool snapshot. I agree that he's a no-brainer. I have the original Future Trunks but I enjoy this one just as much and then some. It's a great duo display. I have the Premium Color in his powered down form and then the Original in his Super Saiyan form. I'm probably one of the few people who really like the Premium Color Super Saiyan hair paint application.
 
Heres a funny little review I made of some abomination of (rubbery) plastic that a company called XC is trying to pass off as a copy of SDCC 2011 Goku :lol



haha nice deano! i actually spotted it on aliexpress recently and was thinking about posting it, glad you bit the bullet on this one to show us! :clap
 
Ugh.. still waiting on that datong frieza...
At least bbts has pce trunks in stock now

I have another question for you guys, I'm currently collecting SHFiguarts DBZ figures. I started with Piccolo (regular version) and have SS Son Gohan (regular version) and Vegeta (premium color) incoming. I also have Trunks (premium color) reserved. The problem I have is with Goku. There's a lot of SHF Gokus around that I can't decide which one to get.

If I could only pick one from the Normal, SS, SSGSS and Awakening versions, which one should I get?

Heed no attention to RKenshinH. He keeps expressing his disinterest over post battle of gods products.

Super Saiyan and Super Warrior Awakening are regular releases. You can focus on them later.

Normal and Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan are web exclusives. You'll want to focus on them now. Normal Goku is quite expensive in the after market at the moment. If you don't want to pay a lot of money for him and want to find an alternative, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku comes with a normal head accessory. You can then buy Ultimate Gohan for around $35 and use his body for the extra head. You won't get the Kamehameha charge effect or the extra hands and faces that come with the official Normal Goku though.

If you can only get one, get Awakening.
 
Awakening seems like it will literally be reissued every few months, since theres already one coming in May iirc. Awakening is good, one of the best infact, but it will be readily available for some time to come. Ignore manga ssj Goku as he is so cheap at this point and not a great figure in general you would be wasting your money. I would say go for the version you want the most from the REST of your list, as you will likely never be able to get them again.

You say that as if its everyone at fault. We cant help who posts here, we can only disagree with them. Disagreements and arguments are two different things.
