Imagination Works Vegeta 001

Tamashii Nations has revealed their next figure in the Dragon Ball Z Imagination Works line up. Coming later this year is Vegeta (US Product Page, Japan Product Page)! Imagination Works is a new line of 1/9 scale figures. If you missed it, we posted a full photo gallery and review for the Imagination Works Goku Figure back in January. The new Vegeta figure stands at 6.7″ tall, and has a tailored fabric outfit. The figure features numerous swap out face parts with both Yellow and Black hair styles for a total of twelve face display options. The figure will include multiple swap out hands, interchangeable crossed arms, and a figure stand. Here’s the official details from Tamashii Nations:

IMAGINATION WORKS is the new Tamashii Nations series that delivers the ultimate in action figure technology. Now, in the highly anticipated second release, Vegeta joins the line! Portrayed in his classic Saiyan suit, the figure is cleverly designed to hide the arm and leg joints for a stunningly realistic appearance. A huge array of 12 expression part options let you customize his appearance for your displays.

Imagination Works Goku 57

Bandai Tamashii Nations launched a new line last year called Imagination Works.  This is a premium level line in 1/9th scale that will feature characters from multiple brands.  It’s first offering was Goku from Dragonball Z in his most recognizable form – an orange gi with base and Super Saiyan hair.   It’s parts, accessories and articulation are similar to S.H. Figuarts with slight upgrades, so like a Super Saiyan S.H. Figuarts :).   I’ve really enjoyed SHF Dragonball over the last 10 years, so I wanted to give it a look.  We’ve run the figure through the motions after the break, read on to check it out along with some additional thoughts.  He’s in stock now and shipping from TheToySource!

Imagination Works Goku 11

Bandai have fully revealed that new body style Goku from a while back. Labeled Imagination Works – the figure is roughly 1/9 scale (7 inches) and features a hybrid seamless body style. The arm features no elbow joints covered in a silicone layer, while the various clothing features texture detailing. Enhanced articulation engineering is present throughout to go a step beyond normal S.H. Figuarts.

It comes with both regular and Super Saiyan hair, multiple hands (looks like the standard Goku hand styles from S.H.F.). Looks like there will be two heads, 2 facial expressions for each head. There will also be swappable eye expressions per head. The upper body clothing is using a softer material (not fabric) to allow bending while posing, so the gi is detached from the body sculpt. The legs feature a pop out knee to keep the silhouette. Wrists and ankles look to use a ball joint. There is paint detailing on hair and clothing to add depth.

Overall it looks sharp and is a new mixed media format. Not quite One:12, not quite S.H. Figuarts. Around NECA and McFarlane scale.

The figure is due out in October 2020 in Japan. Price is 11,000 yen ($101.00 USD). Stay tuned for more details and pre-orders. Read on to check the translated details and official pics. Thanks to RamenRider for the heads up!
