S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

^^And it has nice appropriate shading to boot. Unlike figuarts.

As nice as the "1.5" Final Form Frieza looked, I was hoping for a more accurate Dragon Ball Super Final Form Frieza. While the head isn't accurate to the series either, I think Bandai America's Final Form Frieza looks better.

I almost get upset at Tamashii when looking at the Bandai America Dragon Ball Super line. They're not the best of quality but for a $25/30 line? The sculpting is actually pretty solid. It's a great cheaper alternative to S.H.Figuarts but it's upsetting to see that some parts actually look better in design.

Which line is this Freezer? More pictures?

It's from the Bandai America "Dragon Ball Super" line. (Edited: Dragon Stars Series.) Its retail seems to be at around $20 which is cheaper than I originally posted. I'll look for more photos.



Edited: It's on Amazon pre-order for $20 if anybody else is interested.

Edited: Here's a comparison photo from a video review. I believe the reviewer had a Datong Frieza for comparison but it should still help give you an idea on height and scale. Sadly, I can't remember who it was by because it was late at night. It generally seems that the figure has loose joints but that seems to be the only downside for the $20 product.

Edited: If Tamashii Nations took that Bandai America body scale/proportions, made it their own, and made the head more evenly round and maybe scaled down a bit, it would have been the ideal 2.0 release. Maybe it's still within the realm of possibility unless they add a halo to the "1.5" version.

Thank you!!! I'm looking for a Freezer for a 100% power Freezer....

Scaling It, the BEST choice is a figure rise. Just bulk Up It and done...

Here's a comparison I took between Figure-Rise Standard Final Form Frieza and S.H.Figuarts Super Warrior Awakening Goku. I'm currently using him as a 100% Final Form Frieza in my display.

I forget how much I love that face on Frieza. Still my favorite face for his Final Form from either company's product.

 

[Angelo2113]

Apparently Goku goes Super Saiyan 3 during his fight against Toppo in the Manga. Toppo also defeats (Mastered) Super Saiyan Blue Goku in their exhibition match.

My idea is to custom it with some apoxie to make it bulkier.

That would look awesome! If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to see pictures of that custom.

Speaking of customs, here's a custom of Ultra Instinct Goku by ‎Cristobal Nuñez on Facebook that I thought looks pretty good.

Future Trunks as well by Xavier Cal‎ on Facebook.

Those look legit af

I can't find the Cristóbal Núñez Page or profile to check out all his customs...

He's in a Facebook group called Dragon Ball Z S.H.Figuarts USA where he posts his customs and other photos.

Here's the next wave of dragon stars figures. It blows my mind how these figures get the hairsculpts right, but tamashii has an issue with it. These honestly don't look too bad for $20 figures, I may pick up Hit

Those DB Super Dragon Stars figures costs like 8000￥on Amazon Japan. Yikes!

If I were a kid right now, I'd actually be happy with those "Dragon Stars" version of Dragonball toys. I just remember back in the 90s being happy with those Battle Collection toys despite not really being able to be moved around lol! I'd also probably study harder so that I'd have legitimate reason to ask for more money to buy Figuarts Dragonball toys haha! Today's generation of kids are really lucky with the vastly improved quality of toys available I'm glad to still be alive to enjoy these things right now!

Wow, they look outstanding. Fused Zamasu Monster Ver. must be the BAF.

Probably because they're imports in Japan since they're from Bandai America.

I thought I remembered seeing the deformed fused Zamasu. It makes sense for him to be the BAF.
Which means that I'll be on the hunt for all the figures instead of the 3 I was originally after. Was a release date specified for the next wave?

It seems they'll be 2 "waves" and released in March and April.

Bandai America's Dragon Ball Super Star Series Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black looks absolutely amazing. The problem I have with that? I shouldn't be amazed by a $20 product when I'm paying for a $60 product. S.H.Figuarts Super Saiyan Rose Goku Black looks great but the Star Series Super Saiyan Goku Black looks as if it came out of the Manga.

Spoiler

 

[DasMuse]

Zamasu's skin tone is waaay too dark, something is off about Hit's color too... But if corrupted Fusion Zamasu is the BAF, i'll probably order the set. I agree Black does look great.
