S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[crisis]

lol yeah, it's up to you if you can justify spending 20 or so dollars on a figure only to utilize the tiny little piece of plastic it comes with & nothing else. i considered buying that indiana jones just for the bag, but I changed my mind. you might get lucky by searching on ebay for DBZ gashapons* that may come with one, that way you'll have the Senzu pouch & won't have a reason to discard the rest of the figure. if you're going to spend 10-20 dollars on a figure just for the pouch alone, at least let it be DBZ related, not Indiana Jones

*there are literally hundreds of those gashapons available, there's gotta be 1 that has it

I didn't think about gashapons...but whatever, I got the pouch

I'm just gonna sell those spare Indiana Jones for whatever I can get. I can't believe my dog ate my senzu beans...

I was thinking about making an actual senzu pouch with fabric and a string then fill it with beans made out of epoxy.
As for Vegito, I'm super stoked after seeing pics. There were some really good ones that showed some shading in the hair a bunch of pages ago.

That's awesome. That's what I'm holding out hope for: getting it in-hand and being mistaken. And I look forward to your beans custom.

My Vegetto just arrived today.

Nope, no shading. Pure yellow.

Japan version or bluefin?

 

[crisis]

Um. Brown shipper box gold sticker DBZ Collector's Club version

 

[prodigy1367]

Um. Brown shipper box gold sticker DBZ Collector's Club version

Gold sticker = Japanese version
Silver sticker = Bluefin version

Bluefin's hasn't come out yet unfortunately. Always one month later than the Japanese ones. I'm waiting for my Vegito army. Out of the 6 I ordered one's bound to have shaded hair right? Right?!

Both figures will be identical regardless. Japans figures have been proven to have the same QC as ours.

Yeah there's no real difference. Same factory, different stickers, different release dates.

Goddamned new it.

Thats disappointing to hear. Especially when they have achieved more technique since the first edition Goku.

Not liking Vegitto from the pics ive seen so far, espeially the ss head, cant help but have that cross dresser vibe with it.

They def should've included way more facial expressions & hands. Trunks is still unrivaled in this regard. Tamashii can simply type in Vegetto in google images to see the variety he has. Instead all we get is 2 yelling, smirk, and 2 o_o

Kinda shows they're getting lazier, especially after Android 16. No doubt Ultimate Gohan will be the same way, ya know that "it's lacking, there's certain stuff missing" feeling. We should be getting Trunks-level accessories at this point in the game.

Love these images of Super Vegetto from the user iorik of Toysdaily, thanks to the illumination and a color saturation the hair looks more compatible with the previous SS figures:

Here's the pics I was referring to about Vegito's hair having shading. Maybe they were touched up?

 

[prodigy1367]

It looks like it might've been touched up since practically all of the Vegitos I've seen from other people have just had the flat yellow color. Shame they're going that route now, I really liked the shading on the past figures.

 

[crisis]

Yeah that's def touched up dude. What a c*ck-tease right?

I don't know if Trunks-level is necessarily fair... that's a LOT of accessories on a $30 figure... I look at Trunks as more of a god-send than a standard, personally. The area that I'm disappointed at them skimping on is the shading on the figures themselves... the've already done it on figures like Vegeta and Trunks at retail, and even Son Goku is done well in terms of skin-tone. At first it seemed like it was an SDCC-only thing, but now it's just plain inconsistency.

And blogness, that looks absolutely fantastic.

You have a problem now, Vegetto

 

[Hydeous]

I think they will try to make more variations to sell more figures. Doubt that theyd do 2 in 1 package like trunks in the futuree.

Awesome pic. Reminds me of Yamcha, even!

Random, but are the faces compatible with Son Goku or SSJ Goku?
