S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[TotalDominAsian]

How long ago were Piccolo and SS Vegeta released? Any chance they'll be rereleased? I just want to know before I start searching for them on eBay, etc.

im with u i hope they re release piccolo, yet they havent mentioned anything yet. The ssj vegeta came out 2 figures ago dont know if that will happen either. Im thinking since goku IS the main character and is in high demand thats why the re-release

 

[TotalDominAsian]

When did Piccolo get released then?

The reason I'm so confused is because the amount of accessories varies so much between these figures. And apparently people are saying their coloration is either Manga themed or TV show themed.

piccolo was the second figure released almost 3 years ago, people wanted gohan again so thats why they changed up the color schemes same as the sdcc goku

 

[TotalDominAsian]

D'oh. So the SDCC Gohan won't match the rerelease Goku?

 

[wolvie9]

from what i know its a straight re release not a paint scheme change, in the end they all match depending how u look at it

SSJ Vegeta initial release date: Dec 2011
Piccolo initial release date: Nov 2009 (first figure released in the series)

Any chance they'll be rereleased?

Honestly you know about as much as we do when it comes to their planned rereleases.
The only way they'll be rereleased I feel is if enough people ask them to release them again. They have a facebook and they put up polls, so maybe they'll ask which figure people want to see rereleased one day.

The reason I'm so confused is because the amount of accessories varies so much between these figures. And apparently people are saying their coloration is either Manga themed or TV show themed.

I think as they go along they're releasing more and more accessories to go with their figures, since they're building a reliable fanbase now. They still tend to display their figures at shows with way more than what they package, though.

(fingers crossed they'll include regular Goku's kamehameha!)


For Gohan, the color changes are in his outfit, I believe. The molds on both Goku and Gohan are the same.

First release Gohan has a more muted purple gi with a red sash/belt to match Piccolo's figure. I think these are the manga colors.
SDCC Gohan has a darker, but brighter purple gi, with a blue sash/belt. I think these are the anime colors.
It's kinda awkward to explain, but someone posted this earlier in the thread:

With Goku.. the biggest and most obvious differences between the first release and SDCC is that SDCC has tons of gradients in his hair. I found a picture, so this should help:

Until the newest Goku is released, we can't really see how his colors match up to the others. I think he'll probably be close to the first release colors (as a direct rerelease), but that's just me. So I would go with yellowy-orange for gi color.

D'oh. So the SDCC Gohan won't match the rerelease Goku?

Honestly I don't think anyone has had any trouble matching their figures, but SDCC Gohan will have a brighter/more vivid gi in comparison I guess?
(I tried to find a picture for you, but the internet has failed me!)

I little off-topic, but here's a visual example of some of the body-swapping. Trunks' head on Vegeta's body, though a few people have already posted their pics in this thread somewhere:

There's a scan somewhere in figure-o but I can't seem to find it.

ALL of the DBZ figures have been a "limited web release" in Asia.

In USA, they are a normal release.

The way Frieza's listing is done, is nothing new

 

[Hydeous]

Are there any official pics yet?

 

[TotalDominAsian]

Just got some great news... going to hold off on buying a Piccolo!

 

[Ayoof]

oh great, another figure that isnt normal Goku.

 

[Cell]

Are there any new pictures of Frieza?

 

[CARTOONx22]

I wanna see new pics of frieza and goku

 

[Big Deano]

Now we NEED regular goku lol; two figures tht only really go well with him and yet still no signs... I'm hedging bets on either Goku or Nappa next, with whatever isnt next coming after.
