S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[SupernaturalAddict]

Yeah, but he won't. Obviously.

Also, Gogeta does actually appear in his regular state in Fusion Reborn, albeit in the form of a unsuccessful fusion attempt. So he kind of still counts. Don't listen to those idiots saying "he's not Gogeta, it's Veku" because they're, well, idiots. Goku and Vegeta using fusion technique = Gogeta anyway you look at it, even if the fusion isn't a success, he's still Gogeta!

^ Too many to mention as I will only buy my favourites and/or staples of the show.

But if I have to name someone explicitely I'll say Hercule. I hate that character *lunatic voice* sooooo....muuuuuuch.

I will literally pay to see an official animation of vegeta KO'ing him straight into the hospital in the first round of the world tournament. I utterly HATE the 'we have to keep our powers secret' ******** in DBZ's tournament saga. That wasn't at all the case in Dragonball. If that period wasn't already annoying to me, this definitely was the icing on the '**** this tournament saga' cake.

Not many, I'd buy just about every single one, it depends on the figure more than the character for me. So if they come out with a completely useless character but I like the figure, I'll get it (like the farmer on Raditz's arrival(or Raditz))

What if they released half-naked Nappa, then released a separate package of just his armor, so you'd have to buy both to make it complete???

I'd rather they be released together, but I'd buy both. I wouldn't even hesitate.

Then you'd have a Barbie Nappa, or... Nappa-Ken (napkin?).

He's never gonna be made just without armour. All the figures are first appearance or close to it. If we ever see him, he'll simply be in his full attire, with the possibility of removing the armour and that's a big if.

If he was a more populer character I'd be inclined to say the armourless version could be an sdcc exclusive, but he's not...

 

[HavokBR]

Nappa was armourless when he killed Piccolo, fought Gohan, Krillin, Goku and when the "its over 9000" meme was born, so I think it is the best version to be released. I'd love to reproduce this scene:

I'd buy him with or without the armour. I just don't expect Bandai to make both versions or a removable armour. Trunks and Android 18 could have had removable jackets but Bandai doesn't give a about it.

 

[CARTOONx22]

No it's hard to make removable jackets for action figures ^^^^^^^^ a vest is easier but trunks n 18 have jackets

 

[HavokBR]

One problem with gogeta if he was a figure, he wouldnt have a base form cuz you never ever see gogeta in base form only ssj or if u include gt ssj4, id still buy him tho lol id buy any and all sh figuarts( cant really think of one i wouldnt get lol) what are some characters ppl would absolutely refuse to buy if sh figuarts? Lol

I'd pretty much buy them all, but I hate GT Trunks and General Rildo. I will never forgive Toei for what they've done with Trunks. They transformed a badass character into an annoying one with ridiculous clothes.

 

[Silrian]

^So true. Though honestly, Toriyama kinda already started that with kid Trunks.

Future Trunks is the real bad ***. Clearly because he was spared Vegeta's sucky parenting.

 

[blood]

so.... what does it say?

 

[Big Deano]

So thats Gokus mother eh? A bit... underwhelming? Wasnt Goku sent to earth as a newborn aswell? Also, kid Vegetas hair is wrong.

Skirt armour? Really? Ugh..

Also, what Big D said.

 

[crisis]

Yeah, there's definitely some inconsistencies there, Goku was an infant with no memory of anything when he was sent to Earth, now that's been retconned to him being a small child? Eh, whatever. Not like it matters anyway.

Funny/sad how Gine has been relegated to typical kitchen ****** status. That's Toriyama's humor for ya

 

[blood]

oh who cares about all those little details.
and that's her work man, she works in a meat distribution center

 

[Silrian]

He lost his memory when he fell with his head out of Grandpa Gohan's basket onto a rock though... So that's not an inconsistency, that's a consistency, as it's the reason Goku never caried out his mission.

BUT he was pretty much a new born I think, so him actually wearing armour n stuff is kinda stupid.

@Blood Ah that's it, she's literally butch.

I will admit that if it's well written, I wouldn't mind seeing a bardock prequel mini series. Could be the story of how Bardock came to lead a rebellion against Frieza. Would end with "My son lives on."

It would also be the final piece to establish that it's a massive superman ripoff.

 

[crisis]

lol yeah I know it's not a big deal, I like how we're still getting new details about the Dragon Ball mythos

However if Toriyama releases some stuff how chibi Goku was running around in that Saiyan outfit doing bad things & getting in little misadventures with new characters a couple years before Grandpa Gohan finds him, then that's approaching controversial midichlorian-esque territory, lol. Goku's origin is fine the way it is, no need to drastically change it up 20+ years after the fact, but it's his story so who am I to judge

 

[Baneofdemon22]

I didn't think he was a new born. I thought he was around 2 years old. Saiyans' hair grow normally until they hit a certain point. I'm sure it took awhile for his hair to grow and was kept in that bay because Saiyans' take longer for their bodies to mature. That's what I thought was kind of Broly's deal. His body and mind matured at a rapid pace, but he had to be stuck laying in that bay next to a crying Goku. He didn't even cry when he was picked up or cry when he was upset, he just got angry. Although that scene of Bardock and Gine together smiling at their son together contradicts Bardock's characterization in the Bardock special, unless he's happy that his son is going to kill a lot of people, in my opinion, it wasn't in the manga, just his rebellion against Freeza. So maybe Toriyama wanted it to be like Superman origins. It's clear he likes Superman and takes a lot of inspiration from him. I thought it was funny seeing Prune Man and his convient phone booth in the Red Ribbon army saga. I like how it was in the Bardock special that he was repulsed by his son's weakness and never saw him again. The only reason he said his name when he died was because of the prophecy, otherwise he was just another of his spawn like Raditz.

 

[Silrian]

Hmmm, If Goku has is good natured almost solely because of Gohan's upbringing I don't think I have any interest in his ancestors whatsoever.
