S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

I briefly considered buying the Hybrid Action Broly to pose with the Shodos, but I passed on it for now. Here's a decent size comparison

And scalpers. Most of them are probably pretty rich.

I almost wish Tamashii knew about the bootlegs...but then that may make things worse actually, since some people use the bootlegs for customs or stands in for the real deal. Tamashii could take it the wrong way and take legal action, but still NOT do anything about re-issues.

I think Bandai knows about the bootlegs and counterfeits. I lived in Thailand in the 90's and everytime we went to the markets, there was counterfeit merchandise EVERYWHERE! And yes, LOTS of counterfeit toys...I even had some fake DBZ Super Battle Collection figures. Honestly, bootlegging has been EXTREMELY prevalent in Asia for decades...it's just the advent of the internet allows them to sell their products internationally. Bottomline is that the bootlegging was so bad and even so public, it's extremely HARD to ignore. There was counterfeit products EVERYWHERE and displayed as genuine.

The difference is, Bandai doesn't seem to do much about it..OR maybe they are, we just don't hear about it.

I know for a fact that companies like Good Smile Company are very aware of it and constantly tell their fans about it, though usually they are alerted by the fans themselves but regardless, they try to stop it. Bandai...no one knows just how they work.

Also, from AnthonysCustoms this was retweeted https://twitter.com/t_features/stat...nthonysCustoms&utm_content=556630359698178048

he mentioned re issues ( not just SSJ Goku, SSJ Gohan and Piccolo) or something, and some other vague details. very odd...

Haha, I'm 56 days away and counting down!

If Gibson (one of the biggest guitar companies in the world) can't stop the counterfeit Les Pauls on Aliexpress, I highly doubt Tamashii will be able to do anything about the bootleg figures.

Enjoying the hell out of my Broly!!!!

 

[tinlunlau]

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't buy any Dragon Ball collectible in a while. With figuarts being so expensive I just went ahead and ordered the SDCC box set. Still came out to $10 per figure. I forgot if the regular comes with stands, these one looks like they come with it.

I got that tiny Goku for about 6 bucks last time. Probably alot cheaper when i got it.

 

[Takaboi]

Anyone know where we can order that Vegeta Vs Buu dio?

blood and his struggle for Nappa

 

[Bardoon]

Considering how well they did with Broly and all his articulation, I hope they reod the Nappa prototype. It's been a while and I think Tamashii can do better now.

 

[blood]

it's time to bug their fb again <_>

 

[dragonballfan]

NAPPA NAPPA NAPPA NAPPA NAPPA CLAP CLAP CLAP !!

[blogness]

They definitely need that face for Nappa.
