S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[illproxy]

The figma hulk looks really good. But just got my figuarts hulk yesterday which I'm happy with.

get cap? i plan on getting cap asap and thinkin i might as well get hulk as well.

Game of Thrones I would guess.

yup

mmmm figma GOT....

would be interesting to see figma DBZ and how they differ compared to SHF, i can imagine but would be cool to see. figma always seem so much "softer" to me in terms of details and lines/edges. does that makes sense? softer?

Yeah, the figures funko make are Ok but prone to breaking and are a bit hit-n-miss in terms of quality.

on the topic of ssj goku mold degradation, Im a little surprised and not at the same time. I have the first release of that figure and the joints are super tight! so tight in fact that moving the waist joint or legs sounds like ratchet joints and it scares me lol Interestingly gohan only has 1 reissue and 1 sdcc but his mold degraded way faster, maybe due to being smaller? i also have a mint 2nd or 3rd reissue, not sure what to do with it, but might use it with datong ssj3 head if the colors of the arms and long neck peg bother me enough. Any of you guys think that they may have multiple goku molds for the different figures they use it for?

Also on the topic of figma, i tend to think figma has trouble with more realistic looking faces. For example indiana jones and solid snake. Both those faces arent very good, although prototypes and prototype pictures looked fantastic especially for snake. I was gonna jump on buying figma snake but i saw what a crap shoot it is for his face sculpt and decided not to get it till i can see it in person. I looked up alot of reviews and some people have really bad faces and some people got lucky and got decent faces, very disappointing. Also, just compare figma bruce lee to figuarts bruce lee, i think so far figuarts does a better job of realistic looking faces.

sorry for the long post, was just catching up on the forum haha.

yup, i think a high quality line with lots of accessories and interchangeable expressions figma style would be perfect. was my initial thought when i saw the leonidas which i think looks very well done.

also have considered it when looking at my figma Griffith and Blackswordsman.

Figma excels in making anime girls, it's their specialty. Guys can be hit or miss. Comparing my Figuarts vs Figma Lelouch, I personally think the Figuarts looks better. It's sturdier for sure and looks closer to the anime. If Figma ever did make DBZ, Figuarts would probably still be better just in terms of durability and articulation.

i am seen all goku´s they release until now, and i don´t know why, but i have a i feel, that Bandai will release Ssj Goku Premium Color too.... it´s just a feel and i don´t know if will be nice, god, more or less, bad or really bad.

Im with you on that prodigy. I always felt that figuarts were more sturdy and playable with than a figma. Even just comparing figma kirito and asuna, asuna is actually a signficantly better figure. Their specialty is definitely female anime figures.

They won't rkenshin because ssj goku is available a lot including a release that is being rereleased for a second time this year, and now possibly a second one. This premium color thing is a way to rerelease web exclusives. Seems to me ssj3 goku is the only true candidate for that now. Maybe Cell, but don't see that happening. The Android period seems over to me.

 

[Big Deano]

The premium color line is to web exclusives what the sdcc figures used to be to the manga figures. Technically Goku, Piccolo and Gohan already have premium color versions, they wont redo them.

At the risk of piquing RKs curiosity, I would say ssj3 Goku is a given for next years SDCC, seeing how they mysteriously skipped him for the "premium color" repaint in favor of Trunks and Vegeta, unless Bluefin throws a curveball and we get "anime Krillin" with flesh eyes [emoji38]

If anyone needs a repaint, its ssj3.

Will figma ever make dragon ball ? If they're specialty is girls . They could just make Bulma and launch and chichi etc

Exactly, the Premium Coloring is simply a loophole around their Web Exclusive policy, plain and simple. It's not even about who's worthy of a repaint, it's about who's highly demanded. SSJ3 is truly the only one I see getting a Premium Color since he is both worthy of it and demanded. All the other figures aren't as highly demanded as Trunks and Vegeta (and SSJ3) so I don't think anyone else will get it. At least not ANYTIME soon.

What's wrong with figma Snake's articulation? I got mine the other day but didn't really mess with him much.

Its not that its "wrong" it works, it just looks horrible. The shoulders are on a bizarre floating joint and his ab crunch is this weird ball and socket joint that pops off at every opportunity, then theres the hands.... I dont own the figure, but thats what the reviewers are saying.

I'd be fine with that since Tamashii seems to sort of shy away from the females.

@misterW

I wont quote your post since theres alot of typing in it [emoji38]

On the topic of Goku, I dont actually think the torso and legs have different molds, they all seem identical, but things like the arms might.

I know ssj3 had different, slimmed down shoulders (no idea why they didnt keep using it, looks far better than standard), the neck is different for ssj3 too.

The arms are different for Vegetto but honestly looking at regular and ssj Goku their arms are identical.

Apart from cheaper plastic being used I dont see a reason for the arm issue.

Figma DBZ would be good becuz more figure options on the market is always a good thing for us fans. As awesome as SHFiguarts is, they still have flaws & it would be interesting to see how Max Factory would approach these characters

figma always seem so much "softer" to me in terms of details and lines/edges. does that makes sense? softer?

yeah I think I get what you're saying, for instance Figma Link* has a smooth texture that I like. I think that aesthetic would be great for a Figma Mario

*and might I add, still the best Link figure that's available now be the first company to give us legit StarFox figures, make it happen FIGMA!

 

[Big Deano]

I would be all over star fox, and an ocarina of time Link.

Figma is still taking forever on Nintendo Figmas, while the Nintendo Nendoroids are moving at an ok pace.

They do seem better at female figures, and more cartoony/anime characters, hence why Link turned out well. Though they did great on Samus Aran as well

Megahouse is also doing a great job replacing those old One Piece SH Figuarts. They are more detailed and accurate. I'd like to see how Dragon Ball would look like on that VAH line.

Variable Action Heroes:

SH Figuarts:

Wow, that actually smacks of using the best Figma version with the worst of Figuarts. I would assume that both lines have come a long way. I would actually compare that Figma figure to the new Awakening Goku if anything.

I would almost compare Awakening Goku to Jakks SSJ Goku for that kind of comparison.

 

[shonen1234]

I just wish the VAH were in the same scale as figuarts and figmas. Instead they're bigger and about 60 more than figuarts awakening goku.
