S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[FanAtticus]

*facepalm*.....It´s clearly a 9 not a japanese letter....If you see the other pictures of Naruto and Sailor Moon you can see a 7, in A17 happens the same has at the beginning a number and this number it´s a 9 in black letter not a japanese character. I have a lot of years(10 years) seeing japanese magazines and I know how they usually do it to put the release date and some symbols.

Now, I just find this picture and make this:

Looks like 17 may have 2 interchangable bandanas if you look at the scans away. One is bent/ flowing

 

[Big Deano]

That would make sense, unless its soft rubber it would impede the waist joint. I am hoping for a flowing hair head like 18 so I can have both darting forward.

Does nayone know if Android 18 has a hand(s) that can hold the self destruct remote? Or it it only comaptible with the extra pack-in Krillin hand?

 

[Big Deano]

I think its actually glued to the krillin hand, it would fall out of the krillin hand if it wasnt, too loose a fit.

But it´s not the same controller of Krillin

I think so Krillin controller is removable of his hand

 

[Silrian]

Cell didnt get released in dec/january i received my cell in end of october, so 17 im assuming will be released around the same time

Wow, really? My bad, guess I bought him late then and got confused. That sucks though because it solidifies my belief that 17 will be the last of 14.

Later than 17 at the beginning of the next phrase you can see a 9, this is the month of the release. In Naruto and Sailor Moon figuarts you can see a 7 because they will be released in July

4104 is the price in yens

Oh well spot mate! Kudos.

Pretty sure something confirmed that the remote is loose. Just forgot what. I think it said somewhere it included the hand and the remote separately.

I don't just want a second remote though, that's kinda lame imo. UNLESS IT'S CRUSHED!

But I'd much rather just get a crushed Dr. Gero head with 17.


Holy ****, seriously.... I want a crushed android 20 head now. That's still 17's most iconic scene I think. It's basically the opener for the twins' ruthlessness. F people, I really want this now, it'd look so awesome.

HIGHLY doubt we'll see more than 2 prototypes. I suspect we'll see a kid buu and one new z-fighter to pair him with. But maybe even just kid buu.
And what you said about collector backlash definitely is the crux of the matter I'd say. In fact, the poster boy for this is without a doubt Nappa. Clearly they've been VERY taken a back by the response to Nappa and seem to have exerted that into a much more shy approach. We were told via Pwn that they already have MANY new prototypes, so it seems a simple conclusion that they've become more reluctant about showing things, fearing collectors will then start demanding it. Which just isn't the way production companies tend to work, commercially. As we were also told via Pwn, they have their own internal structure to determine releases. So yeah think that's dead on Sci.

-SNIP-

Yeah, I think Nappa had a big impact on them. Which came as a surprise. Yup, it looks like A17 will be the last for this year, since he'll be out in Sep/Oct. It's depressing to think that's it for the year. Here were are in March and we know there will be no more new DBZ figures. We'll be dead by the time this line gets anywhere, lol.

In regards to Android 20, I highly recommend keeping an eye out for the SCultures release. It's a statue, but it's very nice. His hat comes off and shows his brain even. It would be pretty cool if Bandai included a crushed Android 20 head with A17, but Idk if we'll be that lucky. For such a popular line in America, it sure moves slow.

Looks like Amazon's release date for Goku just got pushed back another week. Just got an e-mail saying the following:

Hello,

We're writing about the order you placed on ... Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below has changed, and we need to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date:

"Bandai Tamashii Nations S.H. Figuarts Goku Action Figure"
Estimated arrival date: April 16, 2014 - April 19, 2014

 

[Silrian]

Yeah they talk about expansion and it being the best selling line, they even literally said they could use another drgonball. I'm like.... THEN MAKE MORE DRAGONBALL R-TARDS!XD

After 2014 I'll have completed the core of my collection though so... I can't actually complain one bit. They've made all my fav characters in my fav versions except Frieza and Normal Goku. So... yeah.

We just need more though. We always need more...

 

[Silrian]

@ Cloud
"Laaaaaaaaaame."

 

[Science Friction]

Yeah, Amazon's releases dates are almost always off. What tends to happen is the release date comes, and Amazon changes their listing to Sold Out. So at least with Goku they're pushing back the date. They had the wrong date to begin with, so now they're pretty close to the actual date I bet.

Yup, they say one and do another. To be honest, I have a few theories, but I'm not really sure about it all. I think A18 is going to be a very good seller for them, as well as A17, so hopefully that can alter their pov a bit.

I'd much rather have a Piccolo head and stuff like you guys have mentioned. But just as a fun idea, he could come with Future Gohan's Senzu Bean bag. Or this Trunks' face:

 

[blogness]

@FanAtticus - The pic you put up of A17 has him with the deactivation remote that Gero made for his own use. It was destroyed like 2 seconds after that pic by the rebelling androids.

The one that A18 comes with is definitely the one Bulma made for Krillin as shown here:

I wonder if they'll ever do any of Frieza's other forms? Honestly, I'm not holding my breath, but I would be willing to bet that IF they did make at least one other version of him, that it would be his normal form. I would want his hover seat, but I know that will never happen.

Yes, I know it. My reply was because someone would like to put the controller to A-18 or I understood this and the first controller of android was different and never held the second one of Bulma

 

[Baneofdemon22]

I doubt it too, but I think IF they were to do one other form of a villain it would be Freeza. I think Freeza is the most popular villain, being that he, Goku, and Vegeta are the three characters used to represent Dragon Ball in the J-Stars game. There were also PS4 ads using Freeza's first form to his final form to show the change in power from the PS3. Freeza is my favorite villain, but I'd actually much rather have all of Cell's forms. I think it's Toryiama's most interesting design. I'd only want Freeza's first form, because it's the best form to represent him being the kingpin of a genocidal planet trade mafia. And if Bardock happens, it would be cool to have them together. It would be a few years though, IF they came out. I think Freeza should only have had 2 or 3 forms, or at least dropped his second form.

 

[Science Friction]

I could see them maybe doing Mecha Frieza at some point, if only because Japan loves final forms.

 

[Silrian]

You know, after 2014, I think this is my full would-buy list:
Saiyan saga Goku, Nappa, 1F Frieza, Zarbon, Ginyu, Burter, Jeice
Post HTC Trunks, Android 16, Tien (& Yamcha, sigh)
Ultimate Gohan and Videl, Majin Vegeta and ssj3 Goku if he's repainted.
Battle damaged versions of existing releases.

Considering most of these probably have no chance of being released, I genuinely might stop throwing money at these things relatively soon.
I really don't want a massive collection at all, not my style.

If all viable releases went my way, I could be done collecting these by 2016.

 

[AlexValord]

Hey guys, was Trunks an exclusive? I really need him, but I'm not sure if I should wait for a re-issue or just waste over 100 bucks on him, someone told me he is coming back in august, but I'm not so sure about that
