Star Wars Celebration is in full swing and many of the companies we love to collect are there.  Bandai / Bluefin / Tamashii Nations is among them and they have a display of action figure photography featuring their Star Wars Movie Realization line.  This is the line where Japanese Feudal Warriors like Samurai are merged with Star Wars lore for a completely unique alternate universe range of figures.

I was fortunate enough to be asked to contribute to this display again, I did so back in 2017 as well.  I wanted to share the full resolution version of the pictures shown on display (4 of them), along with another 35 or so from the same sessions that produced the ones actually printed and out at the show.  I like to shoot fast with lots of repetition, slight angle and lighting changes, then pick the best at the end.   Sometimes it’s hard and you get a ton of unused but still cool shots.  So at least they’ll have a home on the web now!

Read on to check them out, and make sure to stop by the Tamashii Nations booth at Star Wars Celebration 2019 this weekend if you are at the show!

Tamashii Nations dropped an update for Dragonball Super Broly, the pre power up version dropping in September (Japan).  Not only will he have the yelling Saiyan hair, he will also have a Super Saiyan head with the yellow hair, and another black hair version where it’s floppy to match all the forms seen in the movie.  If you add in the powered up version dropping in April (Japan), you’ll be able to get all the forms and looks Broly took in the movie.  Read on to check out all the pics!

Looks like we are getting two Dragonball Super Broly figures after all! Due out in September 2019 (in Japan) is the pre power up Broly. He’ll come with his armor still on, and a non Super Saiyan head. Extra gear, accessories, hands and heads are not shown yet, nor is the price. Assuming things stay on target, expect him to hit State side in November 2019. We’ll update when more details drop.

Looks like our friend RamenRider was right, Tamashii Nations have officially unveiled S.H. Figuarts Dragonball Super Zamasu. He’s due out in August (in Japan) with a retail price of 9,180 Yen (82 USD). We only have one pic, which shows him with a pretty large effects piece hovering behind him, but no other details on heads, hands or accessories just yet. Stay tuned!

TAMASHII is thrilled to present another character for you to add into your Dragon Ball collections!!
S.H.Figuarts ZAMASU -POTARA- is coming this summer!

Thanks to Toyark Forum member RamenRider for digging around the internetz, we have listings for the next 3 Dragonball S.H. Figuarts figures. Now, these are not coming from Tamashii Nations directly and there are no images so things may change, but RamenRider has done us well in the past so we are putting it out there as a very strong likely hood. The three figures listed are :

Zamasu – Standard
Zamasu – Fused
Broly (DB Super)

As of now, Super Goku is due out in July in Japan and is the last confirmed figure for this year. Both Zamasus (Zamasai?) are due out in August according to these listings, and Broly in September. Since we already have the powered up Broly incoming in April (Japan), this is most likely a new version if legit.

As with all S.H. Figuarts, if it’s coming to the States, it’s usually around 2 months later. Stay tuned for more details as they drop!
