S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[Hydeous]

While they may not "sell out," or don't have the best of quality, Tamashii Nations continues to produce more product because consumers continue to purchase them. Which, while I may be mistaken, is what I believe Hydeous was getting at with his post.



Yeah, I've noticed that as well. When I went to the Tamashii Nations World Tour in New York City, I noticed that Bluefin was selling Vegito and had quite a few of them. I kept going back to the event and they were completely sold out by the end of the weekend. I'm not sure if it was due to him coming back for a brief moment in Dragon Ball Super or that event introduced the line to new consumers, or quite possibly both, but it was very surprising to see him sell so well.

A friend in San Diego also said that Beerus, Whis, and Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Vegeta were selling well during San Diego Comic Con. Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku surprised me when I saw how much he was going for lately. It could be due to Dragon Ball Super's popularity. It seems like more than a coincidence that the older releases that are selling well happen to all be part of Dragon Ball Super (or Buu Saga since that's airing also.)

Yeah that what I meant.

Only DBZ and possibly Star Wars line that has folks buying multiples and sometimes dozens of the same figure. No ones buying naruto or Kamen riders like that. I've seen posts of a collector buying 6 gohans, or 3 sdcc son gokus.

Star Wars is very popular but it's also more difficult to obtain since Bluefin doesn't have the rights to distribute it in the states and quite a few collectors are army builders. (Such as myself. Tamashii Nations has me by the balls with that line and all their trooper/clone/droid/guard releases.) I believe Darth Maul is the 2nd re-issue they've done so far but, while a lot of the releases are Regular Releases, the after market is absolutely ridiculous. (Similar to their Movie Realization Star Wars line. Boba Fetta, and I believe the 1st Darth Vader release, are expensive in the after market but Tamashii Nations doesn't seem to have any plans on reissuing them in the foreseeable future.)

Dragon Ball Z was in a similar situation with the after market. Collectors would buy a lot so they can control the set price on the after market but Tamashii Nations corrected that. (Also, some who purchase a lot are customizers so they purchase more to make custom characters. Especially characters that are guaranteed a release but that's me digressing.) They're recoloring previous Web Exclusives and upgrading others so new collectors have the opportunity to purchase them. I buy multiples due to having an idea for a specific display that I have in mind. The nice thing is there's no rush anymore since Tamashii Nations produces much more than before.

We may see new prototypes or updated prototypes next weekend at Tamashii Nations World Tour Event in Paris. They don't have a World Tour Event in October but that's when NYCC is so we may see something there as well. I have a friend who's going to NYCC if anybody wants to ask any questions or have any photos taken I can relay that to him and he'll see what he can do.

That's awesome!

Btw anybody collect smsp Super Saiyan Goku could shed some light the difference between the 2D Japanese ver and the Asia / international ver beside the box art? Seems the Japanese one is still quite high and I'm wondering if it's just like figuarts where the gold sticker / brown box JP ver is more expensive just because of the box difference albeit the same figure inside.

It should be the same product. I don't know why it's more expensive.

All Tamashii Nations needs to do is resculpt the 2 torso pieces and the crotch pieces for a battle damaged version and they have another 2 potential Nappa releases.

all of a sudden i really want SDCC broly now , but since his price has risen to almost 200 dollars i dont think i can bite the bullet on him anymore lol Do you guys think i should just wait for the figurise standard broly?



based on the picture i think figurise broly will be roughly around 8 inches tall as the figurise goku is around 7 inches tall to the top of his hair, so i think it could be comparable in size to the SHF version. I think these colors COULD be the colors theyll mold him in, but if not, since he's a model kit i can always attempt to paint him that way.

Yeah, the Figure-rise Standard Broly looks pretty solid. Bandai Hobby loves to paint their prototypes so the finished product will most likely look differently compared to the prototype.

I put the Figure-rise Standard Super Saiyan Goku in a similar position with S.H.Figuarts Broly and there was quite a bit of space from his feet to the floor so the Figure-rise Standard Broly may actually be shorter.

New image of Super Saiyan 3 Goku. Looks a lot better than the original but something still seems off about it. Maybe the face? Could be a lack of detail

The skin tone looks very pale and the lining around the eyes seems very dark but I don't know if that's the product or the photo. The pose is kind of blah. There's shading around the crotch as well. I honestly don't understand the point of crotch shading.

 

[prodigy1367]

The hair finish looks great, not too glossy at all. The picture isn't the greatest quality so that could give the impression of cheapness. Overall looks on point imo

The crotch shading is for Chi Chi

I actually like how the knee joints look on his left leg. I think it's a better alternative than the rounded knees. His right leg pose shows the negatives of these new knees though. Specifically that bottom part.

I can't tell if only the top part is glossy or the light didn't catch the rest of it. A few of the locks of hair don't even appear in the photo but I know they're there. It's difficult to really judge anything in regards to color on the figure in this photo.

I guess Bulma would be the excuse for Vegeta then.

New development in Dragon Ball Super's future episodes. These are spoilers from the new episodes so only read if you don't mind spoilers...

Spoiler

Goku and Jiren begin their fight. Goku's Kaio-Ken x20 is no match for Jiren and Goku resorts to his ace in the hole technique. I'm not exactly sure if that is the Genki-Dama/Spirit Bomb or his new transformation.

There has been speculation that Goku absorbs the power from the Spirit Bomb and that leads to his new transformation. (Mostly as a joke. Goku mentioned to Toppo that he already has something up his sleeve. Or is that just his sense of fighting style? Pushing his limits?) I don't know if I would be against that though now that I think about it. The question is where does he exactly get the power from?

He's not released until the 15th. What site do you normally prefer to purchase from?
