Tamashii Nations have dropped details for the next in the Dragon Ball (original series) S.H. Figuarts line, and next up is Bulma (again)!  Bulma is coming this time in her pink dress, representative of her first appearance look. The initial promo pic shows her with two Dragonballs, which when added to the figures released by then (Kid Goku, Master Roshi, Bulma, Kid Krillin, and King Piccolo) equals 7. This leads us to think it’s possible the original anime Dragon Ball line of figures will wrap up with this new Bulma. That’s just speculation right now though.

Scratch that last statement, looks like the Dragon Balls she comes with contains a duplicate.  We’ll get a new 2 star, and a duplicate 5 star that she originally came with.  This leaves one more to go.

And update to that – looks like she is actually only coming with the 2 star ball, the initial pics were just showing Bulma hoarding Dragon Balls.

She’s due out in November (Japan) and will retail for 6,050 Yen (about 56 USD).  Read on to check out the pics!

Time for another catch up gallery for the S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball line. Today we are taking a look at the Great Saiyaman, aka (25 year spoiler alert) Gohan. This is Gohan’s super hero alter ego that he was using at the start of the Buu saga so he could help the people fight crime and still have a normal life. It was meant to be ridiculous and it was, but fans can’t get enough of him. He comes packed with his cape, helmeted head, doo-rag and glasses head, standard hair head, Super Saiyan hair head, forearms with and without the costume watch, 5 sets of hands, back peg for when he’s not using the cape, and an extra set of helmet antennae. As you can see, it’s well accessorized. Everything is sharp, with the Super Saiyan head really standing out. The standard hair head sculpt is a bit off, and the cape tech is wonky – the flaps never align right over the shoulders and the hard plastic cape falls out of the peg easily when posing. That being said, he’s still a solid release and worth picking up. The Buu Saga is filling out nice in the S.H. Figuarts line.

This week, Godzilla: King of the Monsters opens in theaters, bringing together Godzilla and some of his most iconic friends and foes of the past. The new film is a follow up to the 2014 Godzilla movie, and follows the legendary kaiju as he battles numerous emerging Titans that look to retake their place as the rulers of the planet. As with any new Godzilla film, Bandai and Tamashii Nations have fans covered, as they have plans for Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah in the S.H. MonsterArts line up. Today, thanks to Bluefin for sending over the figure, I am happy to share a photo gallery and review for the new Godzilla 2019 figure!

Also, to celebrate the release of both the figure and the movie, we’re teaming up with Bluefin for a giveaway. Below, you can enter to win a brand new Godzilla: King of the Monsters – S.H.

Time for another S.H. Figuarts Dragonball gallery as we work our way through a backlog of 2019 figures! Today’s is for Evil Majin Buu, or Super Buu, depending on what wording you prefer. This is the second form of Buu we’ve got in the line, the first being Fat Buu in his innocent pudgy form. Evil Buu is tall, and features tons of articulation even with the baggy pants. He comes packed with 3 heads, 4 sets of hands and an extra head for Fat Buu that has his antennae pointing forward with an energy effect for it, so you can recreate the candy creation scenes. The Buu saga was never my favorite, but the figures we now have for the Saga is one of the most well rounded to date. Kid Buu can’t come fast enough.

He’s out now and shipping, you can check him at our sponsors below and sites like Amazon and eBay.

You can check over 40 HD images after the break!

Double header today with a look at Dragonball Super Broly! Broly and Gogeta released together in Japan, so those who want a solid rep of the DBS Broly movie can get their fill all at once. Broly is another beast of a figure, standing towers over every other character in the line (other than Shenron). He keeps his now official canon look with the pelt around his waist, purple tights and scarred chest. This release is pretty vanilla, no energy balls, 2 extra sets of hands and two extra faces. It’s still a really well done release though, quality plastic and paint, great sculpt, good range of articulation. Some energy effects, either the balls from previous Broly releases or a new mouth based blast would really make this an epic release, one can hope for down the road though.

We’ve run him through the motions and have over 45 HD images after the break. Make sure to check out our set for Gogeta as well.

We’re BACK! It’s been a hot minute since we’ve done S.H. Figuarts Dragonball galleries, but today we are going to start catching up. 2019 continues 2018s onslaught of figures, we are getting at least 1 a month, some with 2, plus the convention exclusive(s). So far in 2019 we’ve seen Kid Krillin, Mr. Satan, Great Saiyaman Gohan, Evil Majin Buu, and today’s look at Super Broly and Gogeta. I have them all in hand, and will be doing galleries for them all, working backwards from the most current. Broly and Gogeta were just too damn good to hold off and go in order, I had to dig into these guys asap.

For Gogeta in particular, he’s a sharp release. Colors pop, mold is sharp, good range of articulation. Only downside is that he doesn’t come with a Super Saiyan head. Only standard and blue. Some blue energy ball effects would have been nice as well. That being said, he’s definitely a top tier fig and worthy of a pick up. Read on to check out over 35 HD images of Dragonball Super Broly Movie Gogeta after the break!

And make sure to check out his wave mate – Broly from the Dragonball Super Movie too!

Time for a little catch up today with a look at the recently released Star Wars Movie Realization C-3PO figure from Bandai Tamashii Nations.  This is the first Rebel / Good Guy in the Samurai inspired line up.  He’s using two Japanese themes – Honyaku and Karakuri.  Honyaku meaning a translator, and Karakuri was the ancient term loosely meaning robot, think marionette doll style.  He comes packed with alternate hands and a fan with the Rebel Alliance insignia.

We’ve run him through a quick session read on to check out over 30 HD shots.  Don’t forget, this guy and other Realization figures, along with many Bandai Star Wars model kits are still on sale for Bluefin’s Star Wars Day sale, which you can check out here.

If you are interested in the model kits, you can enter below to win a Millennium Falcon, X-Wing, and Y-Wing Combo Pack, about 14 hours left!

Tamashii Nations have shared out the first pics and details for the next S.H. Figuarts Dragonball figure – King Piccolo. This is the original Dragonball anime version of Piccolo, when he was the big bad for Goku and Krillin while they were kids, before he became the mentor and friend to the crew we know today. He’s seems to be using the new body tech, comes with the birthing egg effects piece, and features a VERY original Dragonball head sculpt, two of them in fact, so he is not a repaint of the original Piccolo release. He’s due out in October 2019 in Japan for a retail price of 7920 Yen (about 71 USD). Read on to check the pics, stay tuned for full details!

Update – 3rd pic added showing the Electric Rice Cooker accessory.

Update – more pics including a third head and additional poses added!
