S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[Tonito Vader]

I prefer a thousand times that the skin is pale, to be tan as the first figures

 

[MagpieMad]

I was just thinking the opposite. Looking at this makes me content to stick with the original version.

Can this new SSJ3 Goku stand up on his own or is he gonna need a display stand all the time?

 

[crisis]

Just like the previous SS3 Goku from years back, it will be able to stand on its own; however you will have to pose it several times in a unique stance so it holds stability. One slight accidental motion and it will fall over, why would anyone wanna risk that happening? you're better off using a stage act 4 anyway

looks pretty good in the video actually! getting excited for this one, i belive it may also come with a stand as well. I dont see how anyone could prefer the OG over this one, this one has way better coloring and the faces are much more accurate, i only wish that they decided to change the hair to the more lion mane looking style (similar to the figurise standard one), instead of the original shape they went with which comes straight out towards the back (exacerbating more of the weight issues).

Although i can appreciate what the OG was trying to go for, they really didnt execute it well. The datong head on the manga body looks way better than the OG tbh and also a better representation of the colors they were going for, since in the DBZ anime his Gi is more yellow and blue when in SSJ3. This almost tempts me to buy two just to try to use the body for an updated goku, but i know tamashii is gonna re-use the hell out of this mold, we all know we're getting it again with SSG goku (even though we shouldnt be) lol

On a side note, i got a huge haul of figurise standard kits from r4l for their labor day sale (ss4 goku/vegeta, SSB goku, and trunks and vegeta DX set), first one im gonna build is probably gonna be SSB goku. I'll probably post pics when i finish them and detail them, pretty excited to build them, they look like alot of fun, plus the effect parts for ss4 vegeta, ssj vegeta, and trunks look great. I may use the kamehameha charge effect for SHF ryu as a hadouken charge though lol

 

[nick_clark]

I'm super bothered about the glossy hair more than the pale skin...

 

[Bee Vee]

You ask, you shall receive.

Edit: didn't know it was already uploaded, my bad.

 

[Bardoon]

Might have to see this in-person to truly judge it.

Edited: Better photo

Here's a photo of a new Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black Banpresto release. I really hope Tamashii Nations gives us his energy sword but, if not, this will work perfectly if it comes out anywhere near this quality.

Edited: After looking at this photo, I have a very strong feeling of what I think Tamashii Nations is going to do.

Any hints? It involves a previous release.

Yeah, I use Stage Act 4 stands for all of my Figuarts. I usually have them in poses where any slight movement would knock them over but even for the ones where I have them mostly standing they're on stands. I've been painting the bases for awhile to the color of what I plan on using for the ground in my displays and they look really nice.

Correct, it comes with a stand.

Damn straight.

Let us know what you think of the Figure-rise Standard Kits! I've enjoyed every one I put together and, after I've seen the prototypes in person, I've been tempted to take that one step further and paint them.

Thanks for posting the Out of da Box videos, nick_clark and Bee Vee! It's looking great! Loving that new articulation AND the new shoulder molds! It's great to finally see a smooth transitional mold between the shoulder and the bicep/tricep on a fully clothed Goku.

I thought these were some pretty cool photos of Nappa that I found on Facebook from Leung Gokou. Manga and Figure...

[prodigy1367]

I think the gloss is ok since it's only for SSJ3 and they wanted to make it seem different. It's not terrible glossy like the PC figures so it's fine. The paleness isn't that bad tbh and will probably look better in hand. The mold itself is amazing and I'm very happy they've finally updated the outdated Goku mold. Can't wait to see the over 9000 Goku's we'll be receiving in the coming years [emoji28]

My best,and most hopeful part, about these new body molds going forward is that Tamashii Nations will apply all their time and resources to hair/face molds and certain accessories.

I've accepted that the Super (Saiyan) Vegeta head mold will more than likely end up being reused for Majin Vegeta but Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God, and Super Saiyan Blue should all be updated molds.

I absolutely LOVE the gloss gold finish on the hair for ssj3, it makes it that much more special and the show definitely made a note of how shiny it is after the first transformation, though I hope it's true to the past the the body does not have the glossiness that DAM review products always seem to have. I also hope there's a way to get this ssj3 head on the first ssj3 goku body and use this body with the ssj that came with SWA Goku. I use the original ssj goku head with the SWA body, because that weirder greenish hue on the yellow color actually fits the location of Namek great imo, oddly enough I've grown attached to it lol. So give me that tripple swap, would be perfect for me, would love all the looks and no figure is wasted, + each era has a different shade of ssj yellow. I'm cool with that.

If anything, you'll have to switch the neck pegs for Super Saiyan 3 Goku and Super Warrior Awakening Goku. This is the 1st Goku release since Super Warrior Awakening, which used the older style neck pegs, but since it's a bigger head mold I'm thinking Tamashii Nations used a bigger peg. If you do that, I'd love to see some photos. It sounds like a great idea!

 

[misterW]

Wow sirlain you are hyped lol I have similar idea too but gonna wait to see about the neck peg first

Another photo of Nappa by Michael Agus on Facebook.

That Figure-rise Standard Final Form Frieza custom paint application is superb.

 

[misterW]

Woah nice, and yeah that's good work on frieza. Don't like how narrow the waist is, but waiting for mecha and golden forms. Although technically I could paint it too xD

The waist design bugged me for awhile but I grew accustom to it. Maybe that's just because I have't moved it around that much lately. Hopefully Golden Frieza will have a different waist but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't. I remember they showed a very early prototype of Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku so I can see that being another future paired release. Still waiting on that Mr. Buu though.

It has me curious if Tamashii Nations has seen any recent demand in Frieza with the Tournament of Power popularity.

most of the protos they showed off in the beginning are out i think the ones that arent out yet are fat buu, mister satan, gotenks, RoF Goku (w/different hair sculpt), RoF vegeta, mecha freeza, and golden freeza. I feel like if they do RoF goku theyre gonna reuse the regular head again lol But yeah, i want it as a stand in to replace SHF golden freeza, it's a good figure, but way too small, and also mecha freeza would be great since we never got a figure of him. Hopefully, we see them soon, but I'm also pretty excited for broly.
