S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[crisis]

A few questions for PwnStar511:

You said they have more Figuarts Zero characters planned, but what about DBZ MonsterArts? If that huge Shenron was released, it would've been under the MonsterArts line, right? Do you think it's possible that we'll see a Great Ape/Oozaru MonsterArts in the future?

 

[FSLAR]

I'm calling it, SDCC Release is Vegeta! I can tell by the shifty looks in Pwnstar's eyes!...even if I can't see them. But I know it! I just do! I believe! Well that and it would make sense release wise...

I'M NOT CRAZY! YOU'RE CRAZY! ESPECIALLY YOU NAPPA

Nonetheless (as my rage didn't break ) Pwnstar, that is amazing! Really happy for you

 

[PwnStar511]

Hey PwnStar, I was wondering, what characters would you want most, without taking your own information on upcoming figures into account?

I'm most interested in Kid Buu, Brolly, Majin Vegeta, Mystic Gohan, Gotenks and Vegito. Tapion would be awesome also because I love his design but I doubt we'll ever get him haha.

No idea about a DBZ MonsterArts line. The prototype we saw at SDCC last year is the last I've heard of anything resembling that. Would certainly love one though!

Very cool! Did you work in toys previously pwnstar?

I'm excited to hear where the line goes... and excited to replace the ssj vegeta I sold last month

Hey guys, sorry for my absence in this thread...I've been really busy these past few weeks and for good reason. I'm happy to say I've been hired by Bluefin Distribution! I started to get really friendly with their CEO during/after Toy Fair and we had a number of talks and then finally this past weekend, they flew me out to California to give me a better feel for their company/direction/city. I had an amazing time and I decided to make the big move to Cali! I'm really excited for this next chapter in my life and to work in an industry I'm super passionate about.

As it relates to S.H. Figuarts I know who the next two TENTATIVE figures are in addition to the SDCC exclusive and as much as I'd love to share with you guys I can't unfortunately so I just ask that you guys respect that. There's also some new ZeroArts in the works so this line is definitely still going strong. Just be patient as there are some large gaps in between figures. But you guys already know that.

Now that I'm a Bluefin rep and I have some influence, I'm going to try my best to represent you guys and have your voices heard. Remember, I'm as big a fan as you and would love to see all the different figures made.

Stay tuned!

Okay, wow, so obviously a massive CONGRATULATIONS! It's great that you actually got a real effin job out of this.

However, secondly, ****... Why do I say that? Because now you're legit and legally bound to NDA's...

So, as a human being I'm very happy for you, but as a selfish collector I'm slightly ambiguous about it, because I suspect you will only be able to tell us less instead of more. BUT I hope your influence can indeed have a good rippling effect to tune the line to what fans want.

In any case though, well done and I wish you joy with your new job mate!

Why exactly is Vegeta wearing his android armour in BoG? I thought it was a post-Buu period?
Could help a rerelease a bit though.

Honestly, the Saiyan Armor on Vegeta's torso from the Frieza and Cell Saga is the look I most associate Vegeta with. I suppose it makes sense given Vegeta's pride as a Saiyan that he would still wear the armor. That's the way I look at it anyway.

I agree that scene with Vegeta was kinda stupid but it was totally made up for when

Spoiler

he went ape-sh** crazy on Beerus for smacking Bulma. I know it didnt really accomplish anything but up to that point I don't think anyone had landed a single punch on him.

Also, I think that because I watched the majority of DBZ subbed I actually prefer hearing them in Japanese. Some of the English voice acting is just too corny for my taste.

DBZ is the only anime that I can't stand the Japanese VA's. I much prefer the Dub over the Sub.

Does anyone know what timeline does BoG exactly take place in?

All I know of Pan is that she's a cute little girl and the daughter of Gohan and Videl, because guess what? I ignore DAFAQ out of GT.

I'll keep an eye on this thread and you and talk about this later.

Firstly, allow me to formally congratulate you. Secondly, thanks for keeping us in the loop about it. I look forward to your continued presence and interaction here.

OT: If it's not too much to ask, may I know what is your job profile there?

Cthere's already enough Broly statues on the market.

What is the most detailed and definitive Broly statue out there?

No idea about a DBZ MonsterArts line. The prototype we saw at SDCC last year is the last I've heard of anything resembling that. Would certainly love one though!

Please please do push them for a MonsterArts Shenron!

I'm excited to hear where the line goes... and excited to replace the ssj vegeta I sold last month

Any particular reason why?

Congrats PwnStar511!!!

No, no you will not. The first rule of GT club is you don't talk about GT club. When you go to china and you see all these ******** B-quality ripoffs from western superheroes like "Spaderman" that is what GT is for me. I hope that insult was so damn harsh that it killed anyone's motivation to even speak to me about it. I certainly will not respond to it anymore. I'm taking the blue pill, I'm going back in the matrix and enjoy my GT-free steak.

 

[Baneofdemon22]

I grew up on always having the knock of brand of appliances, clothes, and food, so I think that's pretty hilarious! The names are so uncreative, that I don't know how they got away with them! Plus anytime my favorite movie gets a mention I'm happy. Although I don't really want to consider myself part of that club. Then again, like GT, there's parts of Tyler's methodology I like, but for the most part it's messed up! I was just going to make the joke of Blu Fin saying, "Recently we just obtained a new member whose let us all in on the fan demands. We are proud to say that we have increases production on figures and now will release 6 figures a year! As you demanded- All GT! Don't worry fans of Z, we haven't forgotten about you! We'll conclude the epic series with- Yamcha! We've also heard your cries for a Vegeta SDCC exclusive, and thanks to are newly acquired information, we decided instead of a decked out SSJ Cell Game Vegeta, we are now going with-SSJ3 Vegeta!"

 

[blood]

congrats pwnstar! now you go to their office, show them who's (the new) boss and make them release nappa!

these are not my pics.

 

[crisis]

speaking of which, i effectively devalued my Frieza by coloring in his shoulder joints with a purple Sharpie



I also devalued my Trunks by coloring in the pupils of his eyes black (as they should be anyway)

 

[HavokBR]

nice job crisis. Freeza's white shoulder joints were a terrible choice from bandai.

 

[Baneofdemon22]

I think they look good crisis! The painted pupils on Trunks make a huge difference to me. In a good way of course!

 

[timone317]

I actually think that kind of change should increase the value (I'm well aware it doesn't, I'm simply suggesting this is one instance where a mod can be considered an improvement and should make the figure more valuable). Those white joints could have easily been repainted and it's a shame it didn't happen. As long as you add some sort of sealant over the ink it should be fine.

Non figuarts related but does anyone have more information on this resin statue?

Spaderman

I wasn't hinting at a discussion about GT actually. Rather......as I said, I'll talk about it later. For the record, I hate GT too.

That's an effective and much needed mod. BTW, does anyone know the type of paints that are originally used on these?

I see a ton of these on ebay and though they are impressive in terms of sculpt and detail, I can't vouch for their in-hand quality. I might as well take the plunge and get one to make a better judgement on that aspect.

hey intruder!

now you, me and sil will fill up this thread with gifs...

in the meantime, the wait for my impacts is killing me!
