SHF Great Ape Vegeta 45

Bear witness to the ultimate power of the Saiyans Kakarot!  The Giant Ape, destroyer of planets! Today we are taking a look at the biggest S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball figure to date – Great Ape Vegeta!  This is a giant, heavy, beautiful hunk of plastic.  It’s not in scale, as that would be about the size of a small child, but it is quite big for Figuarts.  Coming in at 12.7 inches, he towers over other SHF.  And he keeps his proportions, articulation, and overall quality.  Technically Shenron could be argued bigger, but he was a much skinnier and overall had less mass, so I think Vegeta here takes the crown.

He comes packed with 3 alternate hands, a set of hands gripping a tiny Goku, tail, tail stub, alternate face plate, Yajirobe with sword, and a stand for it all.  Yajirobe can be attached to the stand so you can recreate the tail cut scene.

All in all it’s a great centerpiece for the Saiyan saga figures, surrounding him with them makes a great display.  If you have the space and the coin, definitely worth a pick up.  Read on to check out our in hand shots of him courtesy of TheToySource!

SHF Capt Ginyu 31

STRIKE A POSE!  Captain Ginyu is on the scene and ready to let everyone know the power of the GINYU FORCE!  This is the first S.H. Figuarts release towards a complete team from the Frieza Saga of Dragonball Z.  Recoome, Burter, Guldo, and Jeice are all coming in one way or another down the line.  He stands tall, roughly about the size of Nappa, but has an increased range of articulation.  Many of his iconic and silly poses can be achieved due to this, which is awesome.  Pack ins are solid with 4 extra sets of hands, 3 extra heads, damaged chest plate and a Namekian Dragonball.  All in all it is another great release, filling in core cast from the Z sagas.  Once the team is assembled, it will be a great nook on the shelf.  We’ve run him through a set so read on to check out pics courtesy of TheToySource!

SHF Kaioken Goku 2020 23

Kicking off a bit of S.H. Figuarts Dragonball catch up today with the release of Kaioken Goku!  This is technically the second version of him in the line, there was an exclusive version on the old body type back in 2017.  This one is significantly different in every aspect.  New body articulation, a satin gloss on clothes and hair, two hair styles, new faces.   Skin has a rose tint to it, as does the hair and eyebrows.  He doesn’t come with a red energy aura or energy ball effect though.   Aside from the paint, the body is the same as SS Blue and Goku 2018 releases.  For those looking to have all the Goku looks – it’s a welcome addition to the shelves at a reasonable price.  We’ve run him through a set so read on to check out pics courtesy of TheToySource!

shf db update

Tamashii Nations have shared out some minor updates on figures we’ve seen earlier this year over the last week or so.  We have an official product shot of Burter and Guldo from the Ginyu Force, which will come as a set.  Guldo is going to be static from what we can tell right now.  In addition, another studio shot of the entire team in their classic poses was released.   And lastly, a magazine scan is floating around showing product shots of Raditz.  Multiple faces, folded arms and his scouter were shown.

None of these have full product pages or pre-orders yet, but they should be dropping soon.  The Ginyu Force (aside from Capt. Ginyu) have been Premium Bandai exclusives so far, so we expect Burter and Guldo to be the same.  Time and method unknown right now though, same for Raditz.

Thanks to Tag Hobby and Ramen Rider on the forums for the heads up.  We’ll update with full official info as it drops.

They are offering event exclusive version of Scorpion and Raiden, which were previously available during the San Diego Comic-Con 2020 time frame. Also available is the new event exclusive Sub-Zero. You can order those at the links below. See photos of all three figures after the jump.

Scorpion *2020 Event Exclusive* “Mortal Kombat”, Storm Collectibles 1/12 Action Figure –$75.00
“Get Over Here!” Scorpion Hanzo Hasashi was once a member of the Japanese Shirai Ryu ninja Clan. Given the name Scorpion for deadly fighting skills, his life was blessed with glorious kombat in the name of his Grand Master. His signature move is his spear and hellfire. When his mask is removed, his head is a (flaming) skull. Scorpion is a fan favourite, appearing regularly since Mortal Kombat Klassic.

Sub-Zero *Exclusive* “Mortal Kombat 3”, Storm Collectibles 1/12 Action Figure – $70.00
SUB-ZERO An assassin of the Lin Kuei clan, Kuai Liang commands the power of ice and cold. Unlike other members of his clan, he and his older brother, Bi-Han, were abducted as children by the Lin Kuei and trained in the techniques of assassination throughout their lives. Though his codename is Tundra, he has now assumed the mantle of Sub-Zero to honour his brother after Bi-Han’s mysterious death. With the help of his fellow Lin Kuei Smoke, Sub-Zero tirelessly hunts the one who killed his brother. Features: 4 x Pair of Hands 1 x Ice Blast Effect 1 x Ground Ice Effect 1 x Blood Effect 1 x Sub-Zero Fatality Effect

Raiden *2020 Event Exclusive* “Mortal Kombat”, Storm Collectibles 1:12 Action Figure – $70.00
Raiden is the God of Thunder and Protector of Earthrealm. Ageless and wise beyond measure, he leads Earthrealm’s mortals in the endless battle against the forces of darkness. When Shao Kahn, Emperor of Outworld, threatened to merge his realm with Earthrealm, an overwhelmed Raiden implored the Elder Gods to give Earthrealm a fighting chance. Thus the Mortal Kombat tournament was created. For millennia Shao Kahn has been kept at bay, but nine consecutive losses to Goro have eroded hope that Earthrealm can be saved. Determined to prevent Armageddon, Raiden tirelessly quests to find a champion worthy of Mortal Kombat. Features: 3 x Head Sculpts, 6 x Pair of Hands (one pair of hands with lighting bolt) Lighting Bolt Effect, Raiden’s Fatality – Head Electrocution Effect This special version of Raiden features his red Player 2 outfit.

Blitzway MIB International 002

M.I.B. International was the fourth movie, and semi-reboot, of the Men In Black franchise. It performed quite poorly at the box office, bringing in the lowest totals of the series. The film replaced stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones with a younger (though quite talented) cast. However, without the former stars attached, the film didn’t have the audience and quickly faded from memory. However, a new pair of figures have been announced by Blitzway.

Bluefin has announced that they are distributing the upcoming Men In Black: International – High T and Agent H 1/6 Scale Figures that are being produced by Blitzway. The figures are based on Chris Hemsworth as Agent H, and Liam Neeson as High T from the 2019 film. Each figure stands about 12″ tall. they include interchangeable hands, sunglasses, cell phones, weapons, and figure stand. Early pre-orders get a bonus Pawny figure. they are priced at $289 each, and are due for release in the Fourth Quarter of the year.Check out photos and details after the jump.

Bandai 2020 Exclusives

Today is the last day to pre-order Tamashii Nations SDCC / Convention 2020 exclusives. These sold out quickly on day 1, but due to demand Tamashii offered a limited Pre-Order window for a second print run.  These are available to order now for a couple more hours and are due to arrive in December.  While having them in hand asap is preferred by us all, this at least lets all the fans who want them get them in hand.  Especially important because several are reprints of hard to find items in the first place, or straight up new core character offerings.

If you wanted the convention exclusives but couldn’t get them day 1, don’t miss out and grab your copies below.  Orders end at 11:59 PM Eastern Time tonight!

SH Figuarts Freddie Murcury Live Aid 013

One of the most memorable live performances of all time, for me, was Queen’s set during Live Aid in 1985. During the show, Queen front man Freddie Mercury was at his very best. Kicking the set off with Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddie had the massive audience in the palm of his hand. The set also gave way to the oft-memed “Aye-Oh”. If you’ve never seen the full set, it is actually available on Youtube. If you even remotely like Queen, it’s a must watch.

After the huge success of their first S.H. Figuarts Freddie Mercury from their Wembley Stadium performance, it was only a matter of time for Tamashii Nations to release another Freddie Mercury figure. The Live aid Freddie Mercury figure is available from most online retailers now. the 6″ scale figure includes three interchangeable portraits, multiple swap out hands, and two microphones. Our friends at Bluefin have sent the figure over. After the jump, check out a gallery and review for the S.H. Figuarts Live aid Freddie Mercury.

Tamashii SDCC DB Stands 99

Last week we shared an early look at the Tamashii Nations 2020 exclusives. These sold out quickly and many fans missed out due to their limited run. Tamashii Nations did a really cool thing since then, and opened them all back up for pre-orders, with the next run of the figures arriving in December. If you missed out and want any of these items, get your orders in by July 31st!

Back to the right now – in our look last week, we did not receive the Dragonball themed stands. Those however showed up this week so I ran a quick set of pics showing them off. I think they’re a great way to spice up your display, allowing certain figs to rise above the rest with the Dragonball theme built in. I missed the first versions which were exclusive to the Hong Kong event last year, so I’m glad they offered them again. These are slightly different, with a metallic sheen to them. Even better!

So, read on to check out our quick set of pics showing off the stands, and make sure to get your pre-orders in for the 2020 exclusives!
