S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[KPman]

For everyone who has yet to vote, do NOT assume that a certain character(s) is going to be released! I see people assuming that Kid Buu and Androids 17 and 18 are going to be released because they are "popular" or because we've seen prototypes, so they end up voting for other characters. Do NOT assume anyone is confirmed beyond normal Goku and vote for your most wanted figures even if you think their release is inevitable...

P.S. does anyone else think that the upcoming Krillin release should have come with a bag of senzu beans for him to hold? That was one of his main roles in the cell saga

I can see him with a bag of senzu beans in one hand in this picture

 

[Baneofdemon22]

Oh I see it too. We all see it too! Right guys? He's also riding a Dragon! And look it's a magical elf! I'm just kidding with you! That would be so great to have a senzu bean bag!

The funny thing is he looks like he's angrily riding something

 

[Baneofdemon22]

Yeah, that's why I had to write the last part to go overly ridiculous, because I actually could see him riding something in my mind! Hey there was an invisible man in Dragon Ball!

I'm hoping Goten and trunks have both interchangeable heads ssj and normal like adult trunks has now. I really want to see them but no one is seems to feel the same ( ._.) if they are smart they should release gotenks first that way everyone has to buy them. Its a win win for both of us.

What? I'm hoping kid trunks and goten get released ....

If they do get released, there is no excuse not to include regular and SS heads. The old bandai model kits even included them. Even the fact that they did not not do this with the original Goku release is pretty annoying

 

[OPTICS]

Killian, if you mean bluefin then yes; all of the dbz figuarts we have had are web exclusives in japan, they arent normal releases.

Correct me if I am wrong, but even though they're regular releases here, Bluefin ONLY distributes the figures. They don't make them. They'd have to get Bandai of Japan/Tamashii Nations to produce them. As I said before, they've never rereleased an exclusive.... ever... and this goes back years before DBZ SHFs. Not saying they can't change it now, but theres a better chance at seeing a repaint/SDCC exclusive than a rerelease.

Question for those who bought SDCC Piccolo from the official Bluefin premium site: Did he come in a brown shipper box like most of the non-SDCC releases?

Yeah I feel you those old ones had all kinds of extras and in the bandai/tamashii hybrid line they released so many characters

No he didnt.

 

[Vegeta452]

Took these at NYCC. The orange is different, but not terrible for display.... For now.

 

[The_Philosopher]

PwnStar, can you contact tamashii and let them know that most of us want Goku and Krillian to have the same orange (I mean common, it's a uniform)

Personally I would rather Goku inherit Krillians orange (it would be more cost effective too because they would have 1 dye for the plastic, instead of 2 separate processes)

IMO, I don't think the difference in orange color is a big deal- gi colors varied based on lighting, power up auras, etc - it varied a bit. Just my opinion, but I think we should limit his requests to Tamashii so they will take us more seriously for more important stuff like future figure releases. The last thing we want is them to hear every little concern from the community and get annoyed.

P.S. Nice work on the fat buu model!

 

[The_Philosopher]

It could be a lump sum of small information in an opinion section.

For me the Gi color is big deal because it represents a uniform, a team, a class from the same master. The difference disrupts that greatly for me.

When the lighting is the same, it's painfully obvious that the colors are different, yes auras varied the colors but there was a consistency in how they did it.
The only difference in Gi color should result from transformation into SSj (like the anime, and art from the manga, and games models)

Personally I can't get Krillan with such a large inconsistency.

I dont understand the question?

All I was saying to killian was that bluefin bring over these figures for us as regular releases, while japan gets them as exclusives. Technically they could rerelease them here because they arent exclusives, only in japan.

 

[Silrian]

^That might indeed be a relevant technical detail here...

Also

^This! It will most likely also harmonise the results a bit, which gives us more chance to influence things. (The more clear the poll outcome, the stronger the suggestion, I'd say.)

he doesnt even work for them who is most of us a few board members on here.

 

[Silrian]

Here's the order of the most voted to the least:

1.)Kid Buu
2.)Majin Vegeta
3.)Mystic Gohan, Armor Trunks

I'd be satisfied if these were the next four releases after Goku. Thanks for tallying.
