S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[Baneofdemon22]

@TBlake I haven't bought any new figures, since I don't have the space and can't afford them, but have been following Marvel Select and DC Collectibles on the Fwoosh forums, and they just look fantastic. I wanted that Marvel Select Venom so bad, but I had to pass. I'm glad to see they're doing so well! I want to get rid of my stuff, but I just had a bad experience on eBay where the buyer changed their mind and sent my stuff back to me broken. I don't want to go through that again.

@crisis You're right, with someone line Nappa, there isn't much to loose. Throughout 2013, I would ask them for the Saiyaman suit Gohan, because I thought he had no chance.

I love how 1 out of 2 times my name gets misspelled!XD SHould've chosen a different one.

I'm not necessarily implying Nappa will get a quality trade off, I'm just saying that the proto we've seen was pretty terrible quality wise. If you look at close ups you can really see it was quickly put together as a decor piece with vegeta and goku.

I don't think Tamashii has realised how popular villains are in the west and I kinda doubt whether they're gonna adapt to it. The androids were easy picks, they're super fit for Figuarts releases, but a figure like Nappa? Honestly I can't see them doing it and if they do, it won't be the Nappa we've seen in that display I think.

But maybe PwnStar511 can shed some light on that. Although thus far he seemed to confirm my thoughts on Tamashii's attitude in general.

What the **** Bane you should be compensated for that! I don't offer return policies in general exactly because of **** like that. Once you buy it, it's yours, if you wanna get rid of it again, go sell it on your own. (I've sold a lot of stuff over the past years too.)

 

[Baneofdemon22]

I said no returns on my listing, but I got worried with the case being opened up against me. I was really polite with the buyer and told them that "I'm sorry that you aren't interested anymore, but my listing said no returns." The buyer kept threatening me and then cussed me out. I called two different eBay representatives because they clearly went against their policy of threatening me, and later the buyer wanted me to give them a discount, but the representative said it would be best just to tell them to send it back. I called eBay to tell them that the buyer smashed my items up and they said that it "I went above and beyond as a seller", and I was completely in the right, and shouldn't have told them to send the item back, the buyer will be banned, and I will be compensated. None of that happened. Why can't people just be good? Is that so hard?

You're right Nappa looked bad, but it was just a quick mock up to promote Vegeta.

 

[TBlake]

Ugh, nonsense like that is what keeps as an Ebay buyer. I've heard to many horror stories from people, who've said that people returned their items to them broken, claimed that they've never shipped it after they receive it, or ask for money back because they lied about the condition of the item.

 

[Big Deano]

When I sell with ebay I make sure to send everything recorded and insured, so they cant say it got lost or damaged, and if it did then I get compensated; costs more but irs worth it to protect yourself from scammers and that sort of scum. Doesnt help matters that paypal instantly freezes your account and keeps the money until its sorted.

Ebay and Paypal need a major overhaul imo to give more protection to sellers as we shouldnt have to go through that kind of crap.

I think villains are very important, because that's what I think when I make my most wanted lists. Luckily most of the figures we have now works with Perfect Cell, but for others, I want characters I can match them up with. Ultimate Gohan is too powerful for any likely character, and Videl isn't coming, so that makes me want the early Boo arc Gohan or Android saga Gohan more. With the three forms of Cell, that allows for so many pairings. Pretty much every hero works up to that arc, and being a time traveler, he works with early incarnations! Heck, getting Nappa would boost my interest in Tien.

 

[TBlake]

For villains I'd at least like to see 1st Form Cell, 1st Form Frieza, and Raditz. Knowing their love for Power Rangers, maybe they could make the Ginyu Force.

Thank you so much man! You did it! I love that you lightened up the armor on the platinum hair one. That's how I want future Super Saiyan's hair to be colored. Especially Namek Goku, because the platinum hair is so iconic to me. The other one looks great too, but I'm a huge fan of the platinum hair look. Great job!

Good to know that you liked, the first I had done something looked "fat" so I started to play an old videogame and it was easier to do as you see it.

The colors of the second are made based on the image you put and looks better.

Thank you, Killian, Hydeous & TBlake for your opinions.

Curious, but I had not noticed (in posters that I have in my room) in the appearance of Super Saiyan's (level 1) hair, this is one of them where I guess Goku is in the SS2 level:

@imaI2EAPEi2: impressive work!

 

[Silrian]

What a hassle Bane. Stupid people, glad you got it sorted.

I just wonder whether they're truly gonna switch focus to the Buu arc next year.

Baseline, I don't care what they're releasing as long as it's DBZ. Dragonball and GT should get their own lines, not take up slots in this one. With the exception of Beerus and Broly, who have exceptional status as fan favourite and canon movie characters from the DBZ period, I'm genuinely gonna be pissed if something from Dragonball or GT is gonna take up a slot in this line. They just can't pull that off with only 3 to 4 releases per year.

 

[Silrian]

I think it's just inconsistent animation Orbital. They also tend to draw the hair differently in flight.

New figure day! Got Cell.

So I just asked on tamashiis Twitter about Nappa and well nothing is really changed although the way they answered it left me with a bit of hope

Heads up: the tamashii natiosn twitterfeed is doing a 30 min Q&A and they're already 15 mins in. Barge them with DBZ questions! We might see some answers.

EDIT: I see I wasn't the first to notice. They've answered my question if there are any other western franchises under consideration for SH Figuarts treatment. There answer: there are a few...

 

[Silrian]

This post will be updated:

BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

"@TamashiiNations any other DBZ SH figuarts this year than the ones already announced?"
"Yes"

!!!WERE GETTING SOMETHING MORE THIS YEAR!

Also interesting, someone asked whether we got more Godzillas this year, and they answered with 'over 9000'.....

Okay Tamashii RETWEETED THIS:

RT @DBZNappa: @TamashiiNations WHAT?! NINE THOUSAND?!

@TamashiiNations Any chance SHF Trunks will be reissued?
@CCLemon99 it's still not a normal occurrence, FZ Goku was the first ever, will have to wait and see

EDIT: I gotta step over to the twitter site because my twitter app seems to be confused over which replies are to whome.

@TamashiiNations How many SDCC exclusives do you have lined up for this year?
TamashiiNations ‏@TamashiiNations 10m
@Barricade64 2

@TamashiiNations when are we going to know about the DB SDCC exclusive? ): btw, GIVE US NAPPA!!

that guy didn't finish his line

maybe, maybe not "this year..."

 

[Silrian]

Okay 1 more new release for DBZ this year + a maybe on Nappa + an over 9000 refference to the SH MonsterArts line...


Wow... Even I can't remain completely sceptic here.

Where the **** is everyone man. We're getting a release more this year that we don't yet know. Why isn't this thread exploding!?

 

[mmfsm]

for another figure unless its a re-release, i wonder when would they announce it, announcing it in june seems too late for a december release.

 

[crisis]

I can't wait to have that big giant muscular bald man in black underwear in my hands.
