S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[The_Philosopher]

I'm starting to get annoyed by Piccolo and Goku's single jointed legs. At first I wasn't bothered but now I see it is really a big flaw compared to the rest.

Goku has a DOUBLE hinge knee joint, I'm holding him and Gohan in my hands right now. Their are two separate pivot points on their knees but you can only see them from behind. That's the beauty of their knees is that they have a greater degree of motion, and still looks great no matter how it's bent.

So as much as I want reg Goku, I'm really starting to fear the fan push for his release might backfire on us by not giving Tamashii the proper time to make an entirely new figure that's both better then the first Goku, and also more akin to his earlier appearance (with the sash, with the symbols etc).

Don't you think it would look odd for Goku to change outfits to go SSj, I want a believable transformation and consistency above all else, I won't get a base Goku if he's not the same body as SSj and SSj3.
Cell saga/ Buu saga base Goku FTW

Just got the reissued SS goku, damn the color really looks kinda bland. PLus the paint job on his ears make him looks like he's got ear wax. Why cant they just paint him like the newer release SS Vegeta or Trunks

The first releases were all bland, so the reissue was going to be too, because any changes would make it a new product, reissues are easy because they don't have to change anything.

The first step(post) is admitting you have a problem...

My problem is I don't have enough SS Vegetas aha I'm hoping to see an SDCC version of SS Vegeta. Gonna need at least two of those and one more SS Trunks.

As far as the reissue ssj goku i still like it. I did not get the chance of getting the sdcc goku. So, i'm contented for now.

Season six at dragonball z. Let the cell games begin.

I didn't realise they were double jointed, but what I mostly meant was they look like single joints, contrary to for example Trunks whose kneepad splits the gap way better.

And I get your reasoning, yet I have a different approach. I see it as we have a post namek Goku now, and so I also want an earth/namek one... An earlier Goku release just covers more ground saga wise as a whole, because then there's a goku that fits for every saga released...
I'm kinda not interested in putting multiple versions of one character next to each other. I'd rather have different displays accurately covering different sagas, and Normal Vegeta and Frieza are now out, so I want a pre-ssj Goku to compliment them, like I have a ssj Goku for everything post-namek.

But I still get where you're coming from, as I said you'll probably get your wish as I don't see 'm change the mold anymore. I just approach it differently and that sucks for me I guess.

they all have a similar knee joint!

ive said this before but the thing is with picollo, gohan and Goku's knee area is that they look fine when just stood up but actually posing them with knees fully bent looks a bit weird as theres just a rectangle of plastic there - which is why i am in favor of a knee cap!


anyways...

heres my namek SS Goku with SDCC head!

 

[Agalopez]

Looks great nice job!

Hahaha Amazon just shipped my Freeza this morning.. Can they charge for a cancled item? Whatever, I will finally have freeza on the 16th. He was a month overdue, but atleast I know he's on his way. Now I hope when I cancel Freeza on BBTS that they dont charge and ship aswell.

That Namek Goku is awesome!

Thats insane you waited so long for your frieza to get shipped!

I tried to be patient. Seeing everyone here posting pics of theirs made it hard but I will have him this week. It just blows my mind that I had a PO get looked over, then charged, then refunded, cancled, then charged again. I have never had any issues like this before with Amazon. I have been a shopper there since 2008 and this is the first time that I have been screwed. So I will continue my pattern of POing on Amazon and BBTs to see who get them in stock first.

Has there been word to a Battle of the Gods english dub release date yet?

 

[Agalopez]

Nope but there has been in other languages/areas.

And my collection is once again complete! Frieza is just like Gohan imo, very easy to pose, must be the size! He also has so much stuff I dont know what way to pose him lol

Nice, congrats! Yeah probably not gonna keep myself from getting him too. It's just stupid I still hate the character in the anime (personality-wise, always thought he looked cool), yet I friggin love him in the TFS parody dub.

I wish he had this fourth facial expression:
"Good Lord, I traded Vegeta for this."

So, got any updated collection pics?

 

[Big Deano]

Yeah, tfs did an amazing job with frieza lol, cant wait to see what they do with #16, I can just see him being quite dumb lol. You are right, we could have done without the frankly awkward shouting face.

I will get new collection pics up soon, its quite late in the UK and I cant be bothered just now lol, they will come though

 

[Silrian]

Okay time

 

[Big Deano]

Yeah, I love putting figures into poses together that mirrors the anime, I believe we should all make a pose we will recognise and post it just to see whos is best

Ah, misread your post silrian, didnt realise it was poses from outwith the show lol; that pose is familiar but I cant remember where its from

 

[Big Deano]

Wait, is it dark knight rises? Just remembered a poster with batman and bane in a similar pose!

That's the game element. I love from the anime itself as well, and if you can come up with obscure poses it's also a fun challenge, but my initial idea was poses not from DBZ itself.

(Btw, I posted this as a thread on the DBToys proboard, dunno if that was allowed, but I guess I'll find out...

Jep. It's funner to just post the original picture imo because you can compare, but this might not be the thread for that.
