S.H.FiguArts Dragonball Z figures!!!

[prodigy1367]

Yeah I like Cooler's design more than Freezer's, too. Him, Broly, and Janemba are the most popular movie villains by far.

RoF has it's great moments. However, another missed opportunity was not including Yamcha in the fight. They could've totally REDEEMED his character by making him join in fighting Freeza's soldiers alongside Tien Roshi & Krillin. I'm almost positive everyone would've gained mad respect for him had they put him in the mix, actually willing to fight.

Lmfao he's not there but Tien and Roshi are? :

Oh that is so funny. He might die in DBS and that's why he's not there. Or Toriyama's just forgotten him. Talk about an ownedcount:+1, wow.

Spoiler:

If anything they just reinforced his uselessness. The entire theater burst out laughing when Tien said Chiaotzu and Yamcha stayed home because the fight would've been too much for them

 

[Bardoon]

Also, this probably doesn't effect as does it? Bandai Is Partnering With Diamond Distributors - Press Release - The Toyark - News

It shouldn't. It's odd to explain but from my understanding, Bandai separates their toy divisions and their easily identifiable by name. Bandai America mostly produces toy products aimed at kids, while Bandai's Tamashii Nations is strictly collector/adult-oriented.

 

[Silrian]

@crisis LMFAO HE SAID THAT!??!?! OH MY GOD!!!

 

[FSLAR]

I...I thought that Yamcha thing was a joke. Wow. You know what, screw it, Toriyama does know what he's doing!

 

[FatHotei]

Lmfao he's not there but Tien and Roshi are? :

Oh that is so funny. He might die in DBS and that's why he's not there. Or Toriyama's just forgotten him. Talk about an ownedcount:+1, wow.

Yamcha's a coward. That's not a surprise. Toriyama should just kill him off already for good. Give him one final redeeming moment and drop the axe. But he won't. Yamcha will just fade further and further into irrelevance.

 

[crisis]

Well

Spoiler:

he's already going to be in episode 6 interacting with Beerus, so I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon

btw,
been tweaking my display here n there, can't wait to show you guys!

Hopefully Beerus kills him right then and there. Toriyama forgot about Launch so why can't he forget about Yamcha? Everyone else has

@crisis, do you usually keep your figures out on display or do you put em away in a closed display and whip em out whenever you do an unveiling?

 

[crisis]

lol yeah like you said, i put everything away in my closet & whip em out when I wanna play around with them

I'm trying to make everyone look natural. I know we take these things for granted, always nitpicking n all, but it still amazes me to this day how magnificent these figures are. The likeness, the poseability, everything. It's like, yeah we all have smartphones these days & think nothing of them but sometimes you just gotta step back & truly appreciate the age we're living in & take nothing for granted, everything is just truly incredible

With telekinetic power I was able to see the Revival of F Funi dub. See reviewing comments and a question for those who've seen the japanese version. (FULL SPOILERS)

Spoiler:

I was utterly underwhelmed.
– They're ruining fight tension with way too much humour. Yes, dragonball started as a comedy PARTIALLY but all the fight scenes, especially later, were hardcore, were serious within the universe's somewhat comedic laws, but never undercut by the comedy. Tournament fights with master roshi, tien, piccolo, they were even more serious and hardcore than some DBZ **** I dare say. Neither was that the case in BoG imo. But in RoF there's jokes constantly throughout in a manner that's pretty much like Dragonball Z Abridged. Honestly, it's annoying to me and I'm started to be turned off by what Toriyama's doing.
– As much as I could care less about the guy, not involving yamcha, or 18, is ********.None of the power levels make sense anymore. And yes, they somewhat did before. But the gap is WAY too big between frieza 100% and golden. SSJ3 Goku should be able to slaughter that guy. Cell would've destroyed golden frieza had it been anything reasonable. I think it's a fun idea that frieza never trained, but that power up in six months is ridiculous. If he can do that in six month, he's genuinely ****ing retarded to even want Dragonballs for immortality. He'd be as strong as Beerus in a few years. It's just nonsense writing. Piccolo not even getting to own that red guy was stupid.
– Which brings me to the actual fights, what a bunch of underwhelming ****. The army fight is barely anything more than in the trailers and it feels like a montage. There's absolutely no consistency or even idea to gauge how strong these soldiers are. Krillin is ****ing powerful and in full flight he gets hit by a true and falls down? **** off. Just **** off. That's TFS DBZ straight up, ownedcount:+1. Also, Vegeta's role in this is RIDICULOUS. He gets a few blows in and that's it? Really? And he isn't even phased much by vegeta returning? Just like meh, I'll kill you for ol times sake. Wtf.
– And then that regoddamndiculous ending that I already knew off. What a BS move to deny Vegeta this already ridiculously convoluted chance to kill Frieza. It doesn't even make sense. Vegeta already had his attack powered up, Goku when he returns doesn't, yet conveniently Frieza looks up at Goku coming at him and does not blow up the earth, but Vegeta having a blast ready straight in his face is too slow? F off. This is the dumbest lazely writing to just let Goku be the main guy again.
– The beginning was okay, the humour worked, although again, it's so freakin close to TFS level now. I'm almost like, TFS haters should kinda come off their horses cause Toriyama is practically doing the same thing at this point. Jaco is funny, but he's straight up a TFS character. Now I like TFS, but I like it as a parody, not the actual thing.
– "That's my bulma!" owned every moment in RoF. The only descent rage seen is Frieza's, which was nice. And there are cool moments in it, both humorous and some cool blows. But mostly just jokes. Roshi blowing up his own stick was funny. Jaco was usually funny. But overall this is TOO comedic. Even for dragonball the original series, this is too comedic. It's much too aware of itself like TFS DBZA is. That's not what I watch DBZ for. I want some serious fights. This was Goku and Vegeta playing with Frieza + an asinine nonsense ending. Even for a kids cartoon I'd throw my hands up in the air at this. The latter half of the movie implies so much nonsense and gives no chance to enjoy any feeling of actual serious fighting. The fight was boring, lacked any dramatic weight that it should've had considering history, it was ********. Vegeta's could've at least mentioned that it was HIS son who killed him the last time. The comedy is raised, and it's much more self aware, I'm okay with that in between showdowns, but not when it undermines the dramatic weight of fights. There's little attention to character detail unless it's a joke. And from what I've read DBS isn't any better. Goku and Vegeta could've both killed Frieza and were it not for a stupid intervention nailing Goku JUST so Vegeta could land a few punches, basically Goku won before Vegeta stepped in, and he ultimately gets to deliver the final blow too. It's ridiculous.

Toriyama's managed to come up with some cool lore additions. I like the line of frieza knowing of Buu. I liked the first half the most, which is sort of absurd to me. Krillin as a police officer was great, I liked Jaco popping up, I liked them training with whis ("Because you're an idiot" great). But yea, overall, I felt less drama in this fight then I did with Goku delivering that final blast in BoG. This movie was a bunch of fooling around. It plays fast and loose, wanting impact whenever it suits it, but lacking any whenever it'd be dramatically consistent. Until I see some actual drama get back into the fold (and no, the comedy doesn't have to be removed for that at all) I'm out of this new DB content. It has some funny bits, it has some great lore, but overall it undercuts my experience of DB. And again, I did NOT have that with the original DB, whose fights were despite the comedy surrounding the characters, very real, they had depth to them that martial arts has. It saddens me. I love seeing DB in the new fantastic animation. But the writing's sloppy and plays it fast and loose. That's something neither DB or DBZ ever truly did when it came to moments that really counted. Except in the buu saga mainly I guess. I honestly like BoG better than RoF. Better written and tonally controlled. This movie pretty much felt tongue in cheek in its entirety. Especially Whis mentioning he can turn back time early in the movie. Wow, way to nuke any tension whatsoever. It also makes no sense with regards to DBZ's usage of multiple timelines. It's all a bunch of convoluted **** to deliver a series of moments. Weak and disappointing, even for someone who knew most of it.

More on topic: NO WAY am I spending money on figures from this. And now with db super, this basically is either a commercial for the brand that only spoils what's gonna happen, or if they deviate in the series, it's irrelevant.

So question is, I read sorbet hints toward everything going according to plan, but I didn't come across that at all, nor any hints as to what might happen after this. So what's up with that?

Damn! and that's not even including your customs.

 

[imaI2EAPEi2]

Damn! and that's not even including your customs.

some of the doubles are used for the customs. that's why I got like 5 vegetas lol. I also got mexi goku and sdcc namek goku on the way plus a third frieza and trunks. this line is my baby hot toys comes after lol.

 

[wolvie9]

Same shading that the 1st version had. Infact, the new front piece is actually a scaled down version of the 1st with a new ponytail head piece. The face that comes with it is the usual overdone shaded face jacksdo does for some reason.

It does. Had to use a file on mine so that it could fit a little
better though.

 

[ManikDX]

lol nah.. the SDCC EX isn't going to be a brand new mold. Since Namek Goku set a precedent, we will now see exclusives of existing releases that will contain slight retools. With Mecha Freezer, they can still use the same mold, add the necessary tweaks & they're done. It's the same method they used for Golden Freezer.

I do hope a Frieza Saga Vegeta is made as SDCC Exclusive. It was one of my favorite attires for the Prince of All Saiyans.

 

[Snake Plissken]

There isn't much to differentiate them; this might as well be SS2... The style of hair looks to be when he fought Majin Vegeta.

There is when it's actually drawn right.

Spoiler:

Completely agree on practically every point. The movie was good as a comedy more than an action. There was no tension really since it was already established that Whis could turn back time and not for one second did anyone actually believe the Earth and everyone else (including Vegeta) was gone for good. The fight was completely one sided with Goku owning Golden Frieza and Vegeta on the sidelines as backup. Throw in Beerus and Whis for support, Frieza never stood a chance. The power gaps are just too vast between characters now and it's *****king up a lot of the lesser characters. In this new DB, you've gotta be a god to even get on the playing field.

I HATED THE ENDING. Vegeta served no purpose. Like you said, it was bulls*** how Vegeta was seconds away from blasting Frieza to oblivion when all of a sudden Frieza delivers a second long planet bursting attack. All of this just to have a brief "oh no, what happened?" just so Goku could come back and take the glory. Also, they never did have the Sorbet thing at the end. I wonder where that came from?

I never thought about how similar it was to TFS but you brought up a good point. It's very much aware of itself. It pokes fun at itself and while that can be funny, the constant reminder of it especially during what should be dramatic moments just becomes inappropriate. I personally still liked it over BoG since it was funnier and more action packed. I just consider it a fun movie to watch really and I never took it seriously. Plus with DBS retelling everything, it's just another DBZ movie, meaning nothing to the story. I'm excited for the future of Dragon Ball but I'm also worried Toriyama's gonna screw everything up.

 

[prodigy1367]

I do hope a Frieza Saga Vegeta is made as SDCC Exclusive. It was one of my favorite attires for the Prince of All Saiyans.

I want him too but I'd prefer him be a regular release or a Web Exclusive. After this years fiasco, I don't want any new drastic molds.

 

[FSLAR]

Yeah I agree with prodigy. Jesus, I would flip my **** if we have a repeat next year.

 

[prodigy1367]

Yeah I agree with prodigy. Jesus, I would flip my **** if we have a repeat next year.

Yeah man and Bluefin's taking their sweet time putting him up on their site. I mean they've done it the past years, it'd be silly to just not post him up this year especially considering he sold like hot cakes. I wanted to get some extras of this one, damn it!
