Well, re-releases are always welcome. Not at the cost of exploring new characters or new versions of characters though.
Man....Gotenks doesn't look so good. That head-sculpt is kind of sub-par...and sculpting usually isn't an issue for Tamashii. It looks like they had someone else do it rather than their usual sculptors. Hopefully it's improved before the final product.
Well I’ll be damned. Just got an email from Amazon that my Goku Black order will arrive June 1st.
So is the SH figuarts TMNT line over? Did it bombed? Just wondering.
In my opinion, it was a mistake for them to use the 1980s cartoon designs. I know it apparently was the top pick for the poll they apparently did, but alas, look how that turned out. Nobody bought them & now the line is either in jeopardy or canceled.
Perhaps they would’ve been better off basing them on the movie designs instead (the classic movies, not the recent ones). I know I would’ve bought these in SHF form in a heartbeat
They said they were considering making them down the line, but there isn't much of a line if you make the movie figures. The cartoon offers more alternate versions and a lot of villains to choose from in order to have a long lasting line. Also, I'm sure they thought the demographic buying these figures are the people who grew up with the cartoon.
I guess you’re right. Maybe it was the high price tag that turned people off? Every time I went to Barnes & Noble I would always see them at around $65. I could just picture kids running up to the display & falling in love with it, but their parents saying “hell no I ain’t paying that. Toys R Us got cheaper ones instead”
Maybe they shoulda just focused on the TMNT brand as a whole, instead of just a specific era. But I don’t know if there were any licensing issues that prevented them from doing that (there usually is, tho)
Hello! I've just joined this site and forum. I've been following for a few months for the goku black drama, and just wanted to say thanks to everyone for providing updates on shipping status and general info on new figuarts. This seems like a tight community and I'm happy to join. Just wondering-- where's the best place for figuarts news? Thanks everyone.
Why wasn't there a DBZ display at tamashiicon 2018 btw?
Great collection and display!
