S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[Angelo2113]

It's ridiculous what a little marker could do. Why did you not do this, Tamashii?!

 

[misterW]

woah guys i just had a realization! what if the sdcc exclusive is gonna be a retool of trunks into the new DBS trunks? you guys think that would be a possibility?

 

[SolidSnakeBoss]

Very unlikely. It's not just a simple retool and needs to be much taller.

BBTS put up SSJ Vegeta for $54.99

Wow...I hope this is just a BBTS gouge and Bluefin and Tamashii hasn't marked up on their costs to Western retailers

Edit: Looks like that's his standard MSRP as some other sites have him at that rate. Better hit the cheaper sites fast!

$55!!! For a figures, yeah I've stopped buying dragon ball figuarts since Beerus. I don't want to give up on this line but it's hard to keep it up when prices keeps increasing with fewer accessories.

I hear ya man, same thing I was saying. As you get older, your priorities change and who's to say 5-10 years from now if any of us will still be here, ya know? I've said that I'm in this line till the end, which realistically means I'm here for however long my income allows me to afford these. Things change & I still gotta keep everything in perspective.

Vegeta is up on Toyz for 49 + free shipping. I dont understand the premium price tag BBTS has

It's not premium believe it or not, it's just the standard Western MSRP or Market Suggested Retail Price. Obviously what you're seeing is a bump because Bluefin, as the distributor in the US is taking their cut from the figure as well and/or Bandai's own price on it is higher this time around.

ToyDojo has the figure up for the same price which I think is proving further evidence that $54.99 is the baseline MSRP price for this figure. Toyz is selling the figure at a slight loss...but they're a smaller shop and try these incentives to compete with big guns like BBTS.

Also. I notice Amazon is first party selling Whis. Are they getting back in the Figuarts business?

i used a brown gundam real touch marker. These are gundam markers usually used for shading or lining for gundam model kits. When you mark something you can wipe it off immediately or kind of lightly smear it around with a cotton tip to create shading. So i used it to mark the mouth then wiped of the excess with my thumb, you can use a cotton tip too. If the ink is still wet a cotton tip with alcohol on it will wipe it away as well, so i just did that and made sure the excess on the surrounding area was gone too. I did the same for SSB goku's smirky face. Just make sure whatever you add into detail lines is something you really want, because it's hard to get it off deep details. I did that for my SSB vegeta a little while ago, didnt come out the way i liked but i'll live with it (tried outlining and shading details on his boots, legs and gloves). I think Im a bit rusty with my lining skills but oh well

Thank you, I will try my best, yours turned out really good, though none of us should have to be doing this

If it really is Bluefin adding price they will lose business, I know for a fact I will just go for Japanese retailers if thats the case, they are cheaper and I get the figures a month before AND 4 days after it ships.

It appears that they are because they're directly selling the Black Lady from Sailor Moon, all 4 TMNT, older Naruto, Figuarts Zero Kid Buu, and Figuarts Zero Princess Serenity for pre-orders.

If there weren't small shops like Toyz i don't know if I could afford to stay in this line. The marvel figuarts are pretty pricey as it is. I've been in this line 18 months-ish and when I started collecting the price for the amount of accessories you got was great but now it seems like if they can't retool Goku there's a $10 on all figures

They must be in Japan because Super (Saiyan) Vegeta was shown as well.

Spoiler

If Tamashii releases a Premium Color Ultimate Gohan down the line, which may never happen because he's still easily accessible, it would be nice if they included the "thumbs up" hand that comes with Super (Saiyan) Vegeta.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Those shoulders look great.
