Tamashii Nations have revealed another new Dragon Ball S.H. Figuarts figure – Dragon Ball Super Final Battle Jiren! Jiren is shirtless with torn clothing around his waste, beefed up and looking angry AF. There are also some in person shots from La Mole Con in Mexico (courtesy of dragon_figuras) where he has a second head using a screaming face. No details on price or release yet, stay tuned for official pics!
Not even a full week from the end of Toy Fair 2020 and we are already back on the reveal train! Tamashii Nations / Bluefin Brands have revealed a new S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball figure – Base Form Zamasu. This is how he appeared in the show before merging with Goku Black, so when he eventually drops you’ll be able to do some tag team action against the Saiyans. Only a teaser pic was shown, no official date, accessories or price were given yet. Read on to check out the image after the break!
Here’s the items on display by Tamashii Nations at Toy Fair 2020. There’s some Dragon Ball, Marvel, Star Wars, Godzilla, Cowboy Bebop, Ultraman figures.

Hey, remember that Dragon Ball World Tour Exclusive SSGSS Vegito from a couple years ago? It even had a SDCC specific packaging variant? And it used the old Vegito body with new colors? Well, forget that one because now it’s coming in a full retail release using the newer body articulation styles, new head(s) and at least one new accessory. Tamashii Nations have teased him out on Instagram with the promise of more at NYTF this weekend (tomorrow).
Check out the teaser after the break, we’ll update when more hits!
The Dragon Ball S.H. Figuarts line is continuing on with another release, this time it’s Kid Chi-Chi. Geared up in her superhero-esque outfit of a bikini, cape and helmet she’s ready to hang with her future husband Kid Goku in scale. She also comes packed with a 2 star Dragon Ball, previously packed with New Adventures Bulma. The Dragon Ball is also a tad cloudy, indicating we may be restarting the hunt for all 7 (aka 7 more Dragon Ball figures). She’s due out August 2020 in Japan at 5,720 yen, about 51 USD. Stay tuned for more details!
Star Wars Movie Realization figures from Tamashii Nations have been a great laser focused line. It’s an alternate universe where ancient Japanese feudal warriors mix with Star Wars characters to produce some of the most unique figures on my shelves. They started with the original trilogy, moved on to the prequels with Jango and Maul, and now they’ve touched the sequels with Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, and the First Order trooper.
In my primary Star Wars pick ups, I’ve narrowed down to an OT focus, but here all bets are off. This is so out there that it doesn’t matter which trilogy they come from, so long as they look cool, and they do. Kylo can hang out with Maul and Vader no problem. Troopers can mix up, Mandolorians can chill, it’s all good. These three are all well executed in plastic, paint, engineering and sculpt. Only Boba and Maul surpass them IMO. Phasma is a real treat in hand as well, the silver really pops as weathered metal.

A few new photos have been posted by Tamashii Nations for their upcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters – S.H. MonsterArts Burning Godzilla Figure. The figure is based on the final battle between Godzilla and King Ghidorah. It features a new red, yellow, and orange color scheme. The figure stands at 6.3″ tall. No accessories are listed. The Burning Godzilla is a Bandai Premium Web Exclusive in Japan, but is available worldwide via Bluefin.
It is scheduled for release in May 2020. The figure is priced at 9,350 Yen (about $86 USD) in Japan, and $89.99 via US shops. You can see the new photos after the jump.

Time to wrap up our week of Dragon Ball S.H. Figuarts catch up galleries with the recently released Bulma! This is the second Bulma sculpt, showing her in one of the more memorable in-show looks – the Pink Dress with her name across it. She comes packed with a gun, holster, single mold gun-in-holster, Dragon Radar, 3 pairs of hands plus 3 extra right gloved hands, the 2 star Dragon Ball and 3 total faces. She even has some polka-dot panties under there for kid Goku to peek at (SMH Dragon Ball). Overall it’s a great sharp piece that pops off the shelf with the vibrant colors. It also marks the 6th Dragon Ball to come with a figure, so 1 more to complete the set and place them in the Shenron Base.
I for one would like to see more of the supporting and female characters from the show, specifically a Super Era Bulma and Z era ChiChi. Maybe paired with in-scale versions of Kid Trunks and Gotenks since all will be smaller in stature. Dende, Mr. Popo, Babidi, Frieza in his Pod, Korin, Puar etc would all be great paired up with someone. We are 77 figures in with Jiren just released in Japan recently, so hopefully they carry on and we get even deeper roster over the next 10 years!

Dragon Ball catch up week continues today here at Toyark with a set for Demon King Piccolo! This is from the Dragon Ball original series sub line of the S.H. Figuarts series. This sub line features figures out of scale from the traditional S.H.F. DB line, slightly bigger. Demon King Piccolo was larger than Piccolo is in Dragonball Z, but combined with the slightly larger scale of these figures and he is a massive piece. He is taller than Broly Base Form, roughly the size of Super Buu. It’s well executed – good articulation, big bulky frame, sharp details in the faces, good anime specific accessories. Colors pop and paint is applied well throughout.
He does what he’s supposed to do, but as with all the standard Dragon Ball era figures – doesn’t get me hyped. I started in Z and have yet to fully run the original series, only catching clips and synopsis, backstory in the video games etc. I appreciate S.H. Figuarts touching all the eras, but I’d be happy with a draw back to 1 a year or so.
We’ve run Demon King Piccolo through the motions – check out some shots after the break courtesy of Bluefin Brands!

Another drop for our S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball galleries today with DBSuper Broly! This release sees Broly in his base form, complete with armor as he was before things really got out of control. He’s a bit smaller height wise than his Full Power version, and comes with his control collar, base hair, “angry” hair and Super Saiyan hair, along with 3 sets of hands. Coupled with the separate Full Power version earlier in the year, you can now have Broly as he was seen in the movie in all his forms.
It’s another well executed figure, the Broly Movie figures including his Full Power mode, Goku Blue and Vegeta Red/Blue have been great design and refinement wise. Colors, plastic feel and engineering all are top notch. This guy is no different.
We’ve run him through a session, read on to check out over 40 HD images after the break courtesy of Bluefin Brands!
