Tamashii Nations have dropped the first teasers for S.H. Figuarts Ultra Instinct Goku. This was initially teased during SDCC 2019, and is now getting closer to reality. He’s set to drop in April 2020 and should retail for 6050 Yen (about 55 USD). Stay tuned for more information as it drops!
There were some all-new Dragon Ball S.H. Figuarts on display by Tamashii Nations at New York Comic-Con 2019. Bluefin had an overall massive Dragon Ball selection there, with a lot of their new and previously released figures. The newest items included Great Ape Vegeta, Captain Ginyu, and Bulma with her Bike.
Toyark sponsor Entertainment Earth has revealed their lien up of New York Comic-Con 2019 Exclusives! They have a diverse set of exclusives fro ma number of companies. From a new KISS figure set, to new Tiki Mugs, to new vinyl figures, there’s a lot to take in here. You can check out the full slate below.
Tamashii Nations has posted the product page for their upcoming S.H. Figuarts Tao Pai Pai (aka Mercenary Tao) from the original Dragon Ball animated series. The younger brother of Master Shen is a skilled assassin and mercenary who charges a premium for each kill. Hired by The Red Army to kill Son Goku, Mercenary Tao nearly succeeds, but is ultimately defeated (multiple times) by the young fighter.
The Mercenary Tao figure stands just under 6″ tall. It includes multiple interchangeable hands, interchangeable portraits including his tongue attack, replacement pants, a 7-star Dragon Ball, flying columns, a stand for flight display, and large and small flight effects. For its Japanese release, the figure is a Bandai Premium Web Exclusive. Tao Pai Pai is priced at 7,150 Yen (about $67 USD), and is set for release in February 2020. Check out the photos after the jump.
Earlier this month Tamashii Nations did something rarely accomplished these days in the toy industry. They announced a figure previously unknown and made it available for purchase the next day. During the Hong Kong stop of their Dragonball World Adventure a repaint of Bulma in her manga color purple hair dropped. It’s a repaint of the end credits battle Bulma that came out last year with one pant leg, machine gun and goggles. This version is the same mold wise, just some new paint. Hair is purple, pants a bit darker, and there are some words on her gloves and boots now. Overall it’s a really sharp release, and if it stays being an exclusive to that one event, should wind up being rare. Site sponsor Big Bad Toy Store had some listed for pre-order so we’ll have to wait and see how that all shakes out.
We got our copy direct from HK and ran her through a photo session. Read on to check out how she stacks up to the original!

Time for some serious catch up here at Toyark.com! I’m a big fan of the S.H. Figuarts Dragonball line of figures, and have been grabbing them *almost since the beginning. I went back and caught up, and have been pretty good since then staying on top of things. Life, a busy release schedule in 2019 and travel have thrown me off this year. But no more! Today we are running catch up and dropping EIGHT galleries all at once for all the SHF Dragonball figures we are behind on.
Included are: Kid Krillin, Mr. Satan, SDCC Kid Goku, SDCC Ultimate Gohan, SDCC Goku Black, SDCC Golen Frieza, Android 21, SSGSS Broly Movie Goku.

This guy’s awesome! He’s holding his own while still in his base form! Time for another Dragonball S.H. Figuarts update, the last in our long list of updates today. SSGSS Broly Movie Goku dropped late last month in Japan and was available at SDCC in the States early. He’s meant to pair with other Broly Movie figs – Vegeta, Gogeta and Broly. He uses the new upgraded articulation body for Goku as a base, with the SSGSS hair. That hair matches Movie Vegeta and Gogeta’s perfectly, so finally you can have the crew lined up in the same tones. The figure features a slight wash on the orange gi breaking up the raw plastic. This was either only applied to the front, or more heavily applied to the front, not ideal. Looks great otherwise, and on a shelf it’s a really solid Goku. All of the Movie figures so far are really sharp, tight releases.
We’ve run him through the motions and have 35+ HD images after the break. We’ll be doing another round of Movie shots when Broly V1 comes out later in the year, so expect some fusion dance then. :)

I wonder if eating you will satisfy my craving… Time for another Dragonball S.H. Figuarts gallery here at Toyark! We’ve been a little erratic this year, limited time and a packed release schedule has made it hard to keep up! Don’t fret, today’s Android 21 gallery along with the other back dated updates (see here) gets us back on track. Android 21 released in Japan last month and was available early in the States via SDCC. She should be dropping officially State side soon. A direct representation of her evolved form in the Dragonball FighterZ video game, she is an Android like 16,17,18 and cell, but has Majin Buu like properties as well, hence her pink ton and outfit. She also really likes sweets. :). The figure is well done, good sculpt and paint, articulation on par with SHF. She rocks heels but can hold her weight when posing. The only down side is that the set doesn’t have a face with straight on eyes in non evil mode, and in evil mode the only straight on eyes are with the mouth open. She also does not have closed fists at all.
All in all a great release representing a great game and another branch of the Dragonball universe. Read on to check over 40 HD images after the break!

Tamashii Nations have revealed the next Dragonball S.H. Figuarts and it’s… Tao Pai Pai? This is hardcore original Dragonball here, being one of the big baddies in that series. I have to admit I got into DB during Z, and had to look this guy up to refresh my memory. The figure looks solid with a beefy sculpt. He also had an Android form, so hopefully we will get some of that as additional parts when they fully reveal his release. He’s due to show at Unboxing Toy Convention in Mexico this weekend so expect more pics and official details then.
