S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[XIIISkies]

This line is too old for it to have these rookie mistakes.

By now though, you could also argue that it's too popular for them to care

that's exactly what I had in mind too! but like Snake said, I dunno if Tamashii can achieve that same style of paint, I think they tried & PCE Vegeta is the result

I think the Super Battle Collection style of paint would have a similar effect that the Premium Color paint application has on the figure but just with a darker appearance. Oddly enough, maybe it's just me, but the Super Battle Collection style of paint could look really nice on the majority of Super Saiyan S.H. Figuarts. We need Orbital Frame to come up with some Photoshopped photos of that.

Hey its fine Ang, I know its a mess haha! My fault for buying the wrong paints, accidentally bought "layer" paints from citadel, and its far too thin, so I had to put way too many coats on there.

You could probably remove the paint with some "Purple Power". It's a degreaser. Nothing too toxic to mess with the factory paint or plastic. I do it all the time when I botch a paint job. Just put some the head in a ziploc bag and dump enough Purple stuff in there to cover the whole piece. Let it sit for a day and bam, no more paint.

Thanks for the tip man, may try it!

That settles it, the PCE line is a complete bust. Vegeta got the weird paint defects where the gloves rest on the forearm, and on mine specifically there's paint that wasn't dried properly and a big dollop of it is on his hair.

The misalignment shin stuff is pretty much an ongoing thing with almost every figure I've bought from the line.

I can understand the improper paint applications. Honestly, Tamashii should tighten up a little on that because these are $40 dollar figures. I expect to see it on Hasbro's stuff but not so much Tamashii Nations...

The shin/shoe alignment is inexcusable and POOR quality control. One of my SWA Goku figures had his boot misaligned so if you were to line the lower feet up with the boot lines, one foot would have to "tilt in". Tamashii should make future figures swivel at the boot OR figure out a better way to put the boots on that factory workers can't mess up.

Unfortunately I think we're bound to see Tamashii's quality start to take a slight dive. It won't be absolutely horrible, but it will be moderate quips like poor paints and improperly assembled figures. With all their new licenses and products they're putting out, I think they're going to rush to get items out and not give it the proper quality control that it deserves.

All the SWA Goku's have that defect, including mine. but the main thing that's been irking me since forever are the deltoids/shoulders on nearly all the Goku molds. It's an extreme eyesore for me

I would really like to have a grunting or shouting Super Saiyan Vegeta face that looks straight! It's a pain in the arse to alter his displays to accommodate his faces.

That's a huge reason why I'm looking forward to Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta. We'll actually get both with him. Hopefully there's more fights with him using that transformation in Super.

It'll come out really nice when you use the right paints. Let's hope Tamashii follows suit and does the same in a future release. (Thinking Battle of Gods Goku would be ideal for that head sculpt.)

Chapter 9 has been translated. Not the best quality wise but it saves waiting a bit longer.

Dragon Ball Super chapter 9 - Album on Imgur

Not sure if Goku wins against Frost considering one of the upcoming anime episodes is titled 'Piccolo VS Frost - Bet Everything on Makankosappo!' and all. Maybe Goku gets his ass beat or surrenders? Frost seems like a nice guy though. Now let's see if he has the same stamina issues as Freeza or if he's in a different league all together.

Nappa and Majin Vegeta figuarts can take a backseat now, we're getting Winnie the Pooh and 3 variants of Frost from Tamashii for sure now whether you like it or not.

 

[Angelo2113]

What are everybody's Top Five favorite fights in Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Super that you're looking forward to displaying or already have displayed?

 

[FSLAR]

All of the Majin Buu fights besides Buutenks

 

[Snake Plissken]

He's my one Vegeta hair with the blob of paint. My iPhone couldn't clearly capture it. But you can see the raised swirl of it.

Thanks for the link man!

Man, b+w makes it difficult to tell certain aspects there. Did Goku turn ssjblue or regular ssj? and did Frost go final form or "golden"?

Also, universe 6 still has all their supreme Kais it would seem.

Oh, and the fact that Frosts forms are so similar to Friezas kinda confirms that old discussion we had about King Kold being in his second form

@Snake **** man thats ridiculous.

This is true. These things sell themselves and with any company, the larger they get the lower the quality gets since they already have their customer base.

@Snake **** man thats ridiculous.

I'll bet my two PCE Trunks will have the same treatment.

 

[prodigy1367]

Yet another Frieza right after killing a resurrected Frieza. The creativity is off the charts.

I hope the next major villain is an android created from the cells of Frieza by an evil doctor who looks like Frieza. This Frieza android will then hold a tournament keeping the universe hostage while he lays Frieza Jr. eggs all throughout the nearby galaxies. Frieza.

Lol. Honestly, Goku gave Heat a glaring stare as if he realized something about him, so his resemblance to Cell may not be coincidence [emoji38]

I actually have high hopes for Hit. He's got a similar appearance to perhaps Cell or Piccolo but is clearly a different being all together. A lot of Tori's designs share similar characteristics so it's not surprising. Hit looks different enough though and just looks badass so I'm pretty excited to see him in action.
