NYCC 2021 SHF Goku 99

Quick gallery tonight for the S.H. Figuarts Event Exclusive Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Kaio-Ken Son Goku!  This first dropped at New York Comic Con 2021 at the show in person.  I was there on Thursday and was able to snag a copy.  As of yet there is no official time frame for online release, but Tamashii Nations and Bluefin Brands have said it will eventually be available via Premium Bandai.

The figure uses the base body of previous exclusive, Ultra Instinct Sign Goku.  A new Super Saiyan head in blue along with a candy coating and slight red/pink tint to the skin is there to represent the powered up effect and round the figure out.  He comes packed with a Tamashii Energy Effect in a two tone red and blue to match the power up.

We’ve run him for a quick set of pics, read on to check them out after the break!  I have a bit of a DB SHF backlog so stay tuned for another group update later in the year.

SHF Dodoria 007

Tamashii Nations have shared new official pics of S.H. Figuarts Dragonball Z Dodoria. When they decided to do the Namek theme a while back they did not play around. Dodoria joins the Ginyu Force as Frieza’s minions on Piccolo’s home world, trying to collect the Dragonballs and stop the Z Warriors. His cohort Zarbon has been shown in a pretty refined sample already so I’d expect him soon as well.

Dodoria comes with 7 hands, three heads, scouter and the 7 star Namekian Dragonball. He is a Premium Bandai exclusive. Pre-Orders will go live tonight, 9/9/21 at 9 PM Eastern. Retail price in the US is $78.00. Pre-Orders will stay open for an unspecified amount of time, then only be available at mark-up prices at other outlets once they close. He’s due to ship in March 2022.

SH Figuarts 4th Frieza

…What happened to the third form?  Tamashii Nations have put up a listing for another re-use of the original S.H. Figuarts Frieza mold.  This is a new release, not a straight reissue due to it’s altered accessory pack ins.  The big change is the inclusion of a Namekian Dragon Ball, the 5 star.  He doesn’t come with the rocky mound from the first release, but does have the halo parts seen in the Super version.  The colors seem to be similar to the first release, with a less pure white body and a blueish tint.   Price has been reduced to 3850 yen or about 35 USD, so he looks to be joining Goku as an “entry point” release, ones you may find here in the USA at Target on shelf.  He’s a wide release due to ship in February 2022.

Read on for details and pics, stay tuned for pre-orders at our sponsors.
