S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[zackg__]

Thanks guys for the advice. May hold off unless I can get a good deal. Not my favorite character but definitely up there.

Here's my ss4 pair!

Man, I remember in like '11, '12 looking through e(vil)Bay and finding only about 100 listings for 'figuarts dbz'. Now there's over 3,000 hits! I'm looking for a reasonably priced SDCC Broly and it's not going well lol

Thanks, ang! I wanted them but was waiting to see if Tamashii would show off Figuarts SS4 Goku or Vegeta at the last event before I bought them and they didn't. They are pretty damn cool for models. I think they would benefit from some paint for details and to replace the stickers. As you can see they are a bit larger than the Figuarts line which works well for SS4 and Cell but not so much for Buu. The week I finally decided to get them, I found them in Barnes and Noble so rather than wait to get them delivered, I picked them up right then and there. I think they go for like $25-30 online but they were $30-35 at B&N. Great placeholders for the time being.

Yeah, it's going to be awhile for Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball Super releases since Tamashii Nations is focusing on the core of Dragon Ball Z for awhile. (Kid Goku and Super Saiyan God Goku being the exceptions. Mostly because they're Goku releases and he hasn't had a significant release within the "2.0 Age" since Super Warrior Awakening.) It's nice because the model kits are priced decently and for the quality of them it's well worth it. I've seen some samples of the painted model kits from the Figure-Rise series at conventions and they look phenomenal. The scaling is kind of wonky to fit within the S.H.Figuarts for most of them but I think they're pretty well scaled with each other. While it would have been nice for the scaling to be similar, I'm glad to see Tamashii Nations having some sort of competition. (If they even see it that way.) I'm looking forward to the Time Machine the most. The Saiyan Pod is awesome and fits really well within my S.H.Figuarts but that Time Machine is going to really complete my Future Trunks display.

I've been purchasing most of the Figure-Rise since Super Saiyan Goku and Final Form Frieza but the Fusion Dance immediately grabbed my attention for the Super Saiyan 4 releases. Glad to see somebody has them set up that way!

I have a friend going to San Diego Comic Con this year and he said he could get photos of specific displays or prototypes if anybody was interested. Let me know closer to the convention because I have a horrible memory.

I'm thinking about getting the Final form Frieza model for a 100% power version of him. I got the first form one too and man was it rough putting details on it for all the lines. It turned out great though even if it's pretty much a statue. I'll try and get some pics of him, Cell and Buu this weekend.

$120 is usually the lowest average. If you find it for that price or less, I say go for it, it won't be any cheaper.

It's a pretty good 100% version. Waist is a little skinny but it moves really well. Scales nicely with Super Warrior Awakening Goku.

Frieza and his Hover Pod made me think Tamashii Nations could release it as a Figuarts Zero. Maybe when he's destroying Planet Vegeta with his finger in the air and laughing. I don't see it happening as an S.H.Figuarts but you never know.

Dang that stinks. I've been checking when I can but must have missed it

The only thing about Amazon pre-orders is the chance of them cancelling my pre-order out of nowhere.

Right there with you, I saw people posting about it on Facebook last night. I checked Amazon an hour after it was originally posted about and there was nothing. Ugh, so many things I could've gotten / preordered

 

[blogness]

Daamn I missed out too. Amazon is slipping. Didn't get any notifications about those.

 

[Angelo2113]

Amazon comes and goes. They canceled a few of their recent pre-orders and then put all of them back up and newer ones. Including ones that weren't up like the Naruto/Sasuke Bond Figuarts Zeroes. (About time too. I've been waiting for those to go up.)

Something interesting I found on Facebook about a few prototypes that were revealed but haven't been released yet...

The size on that Nappa, though! They really F'd us with the size of the new one but I'm glad he's finally getting released regardless.

Napper prototype is crouched over and it's still taller than everything else. It's a shame that version will most likely never be in our hands

 

[Bardoon]

Tamashii has a dirty history with their prototypes!

Also, I've come to the realization that Zeno(s) is a sadist
As childlike as he seems, he has 0 empathy for good & bad people alike
I don't even know why they use the term "God" so loosely when referring to the other characters. If there is one character that truly fits the description of "god," Zeno is it. He's not benevolent or malevolent, he just is

Kinda reminds me of this depiction of "God".. perhaps the most realistic depiction if there is one imo

I love that claymation, thanks for that! I've almost forgotten about it. I remember there was another that was also "disturbing", something about a giant eye, a bunch of lightning and little clay people. Anyway I made a short Figuarts Dragonball fight video earlier for fun
