As the year comes to an end, the onslaught of S.H. Figuarts Dragonball figures caps off with a great one – Super Future Trunks.  This release gives us a well rounded trunks figure with almost everything you could want – regular and Super Saiyan hair, sword, broken sword, Sword of Hope, stand for that big ass sword, multiple hands and faces, Galick Gun energy ball with peg for the hand, and his trusty neck scarf.  The colors are vibrant throughout without the raw plastic feel.  All in all it’s a really SUPER Trunks (rimshot) and pairs perfectly with the Goku Black from earlier in the year.

S.H. Figuarts continues it’s heavy assault on Dragonball collectors with the release of Dragonball Z Gotenks!  The combined form of Trunks and Goten, this fusion child comes in one flavor – Super Saiyan.  He’s packed with a Galactic Donut energy effect, stand and little Kamikaze Ghost.  Along with the accessories he has 3 total faces and 3 pairs of hands and 2 single right hands with different positions. Build quality is good, he has all the needed points of articulation you’d expect from SHF.  The paint on the chest compared with the plastic torso is a tad off in certain light, but not that bad.  Super Saiyan hair has a nice gradient to it as well which is nice.  The only thing that could make this guy better – non Super Saiyan heads.  Or if really crazy, Non-SS AND SS3.  But I’m guessing we’ll get that down the road.  I’d also like to submit a formal request for a 10/20 pack of Kamikaze Ghosts. :)

Time for another photo shoot in the S.H. Figuarts Dragonball line up – Bulma!  This is her pre Dragonball Z look, from the original <strike>anime</strike> manga, back before her and Vegeta were a thing, when she was still hunting Dragonballs and kicking ass.  She comes packed with the Dragon Radar and hand for it, the 5 Star Dragonball, pair of goggles for the neck, 2 extra heads, 3 extra pairs of hands and a machine gun.  Her outfit is straight out of the anime with the most nonfunctional pair of pants ever known, showing off one full leg right up to the cheek.  All in all it’s a great representation of the character from this time period and pairs well with the other DB era figs – kid Goku, Roshi and the upcoming kid Krillin.

I have hungry now. Do you want to be candy, cookie, or pudding when Buu eats you?  Next up in the S.H. Figuarts Dragonball Z line up is the big baddie from the 4th season, Majin Buu!  Well, his first form anyway.  Buu is a giant pink blob that works in scale with the 5.5(ish) inch SHF DB line, standing around 7.1 inches.  He’s somewhere in-between Nappa and Broly for those who have both.  He has a wide range of articulation for being so round, with rotating legs at the “hips”, and then full range of SHF level articulation everywhere else.  The paint is sharp with a matte finish, and the cape is also articulated in 3 pieces with peg joints at the upper back. All in all it’s a superb release that gives fans the best Buu figure to date. His chocolate bar accessory is the capper!

We’ve run him through his paces and took some shots showing him getting ready for Halloween, his favorite holiday for sure!  Read on to check him out courtesy of Tamashii Nations and Bluefin.  He’s out now at US and Japanese retailers!

Time for another entry in the S.H. Figuarts Dragonball line up!  SHF DB(Z/S) has been on fire this year, giving us a drop almost every single month.  This round is their second offering into the Dragonball line, Master Roshi.  Kame Sennin is in the same scale as Kid Goku, a little larger than regular SHF DB scale with exaggerated proportions to match the anime/manga better.  He comes packed with 2 heads, glasses, his turtle shell, 6 pairs of hands, the 3 star Dragonball, and his trusty cane.  Articulation is good head to toe, even his shirt is split up allowing for torso movement.  He’s a dense figure, and holds his weight well once planted.  The Turtle shell can be removed on demand. Roshi and Kid Goku both come with a Dragonball, so we have 2 of 7.  Bulma and Kid Krillin will give us 2 more.  I’d expect 7 Dragonball era offerings before we are done to match up with the Shenron and his accessory that holds them all.

All in all he’s a fun fig that works well as a compliment to all the warriors in the line up.  He pairs perfectly with Kid Goku, but can also work with the adult versions of the core characters.   We’ve run him through a session, read on to check out 40 HD images after the break courtesy of Tamashii Nations and Bluefin Brands!  He’s out now at Japanese and US retailers!

Time to get back in action with the S.H. Figuarts Dragonball Z figures!  SHF Goku dropped in July but due to SDCC and the ensuing chaos we’re just getting to him now.  This is the upgraded version of Goku, using the new articulation tech.  He comes packed with 3 pairs of hands, 2 unique right hands and 4 faces, including an anime inspired happy face.  His outfit’s kanji is the Goku lettering, which he wore from the Frieza Saga through part of the Android Saga.  His shirt, wristbands, belt and boots are all varying shades of blue.  He’s a super solid upgrade to all the Gokai(?) we’ve had before, and he’s priced much cheaper at around 30-35 USD.

We’ve run him through his paces and took some shots featuring the Power Pole giveaway from the Dragonball Tour stops (comes with pole + hands for it)!  Read on to check him out courtesy of Tamashii Nations and Bluefin.  He’s out now at US and Japanese retailers!

Time to wrap up our look at the S.H. Figuarts Dragonball Z / Super exclusives with a round of more artistic shots.  We wanted to get those base shots out quick over the weekend so people could see what they could expect and get some comparison with older versions.  Now the fun stuff :).  Broly, Cell and Vegito will all be available at the Dragonball Tour stops across North America for the rest of the year.  The first stop of that tour – San Diego Comic Con!  Each will come in event exclusive packaging, with Vegito getting a SDCC package variant just for that one show.

You can check the base shots for each figure here: SDCC Broly, SDCC Perfect Cell, SDCC SSGSS Vegito

We will add in these shots to round them out, and link them on the SHF DBZ Reference Guide as well.

Oh, and right before these came in, we dropped the recent DBZ Majin Vegeta gallery too!

Ok, last up in our first pass galleries for the SDCC / Dragonball Tour S.H. Figuarts exclusives is Vegito!  Or Vegetto, depending on which one you get.  There are two versions of this figure due out this year.  The figure itself – exactly the same, the box however is different.  SDCC will get a special box with SDCC branding along with Funimation and Bluefin Brands logos on the box, and the name will read Vegito.  The remaining Dragonball Tour stops will get Vegetto, the Japanese spelling of his name, and have Japanese centric branding on the front, and back of the box.  The insert for the SDCC one will have the SDCC logo, and the rest will have “Event Exclusive”.  Broly and Cell will not have SDCC box variants, just Vegito.  Broly and Cell will however be available at SDCC too.

Now on to the figure.  Again, it’s solid.  I was never a fan of the original for whatever reason.  The hard plastic and loose joints killed it for me.  This one however has a bit more heft, a denser, more-matte plastic.  The richer tones mixed with the SSGSS blue hair pops.  Just like the exclusive Cell, I was surprised how much I dug it after having it in hand.  In all we get 5 faces, 3 SSGSS and 2 regular.    3 sets of hands plus a single for the accessory, which is the energy blast Vegito is known for.  He also has a folded arms piece.  In all, it’s the same mold and accessories as the previous release in new colors.

I’ve really been enjoying the modern era DBS (& related) figures, so having this guy in rotation is welcome.  Read on to check out 55+ intro shots and check back tomorrow for some more shots of all 3 exclusives!  These are courtesy of Bluefin Brands and Tamashii Nations, and will be available at all Dragonball Tour stops throughout the rest of the year.  First one being SDCC in under 2 weeks!

OK, Round 2 of our first pass looks at the San Diego Comic Con / Dragonball Tour S.H. Figuarts exclusives is here, Perfect Cell!  This is a re-color of the existing mold, this time more accurately representing the Manga colors.  All mold and accessories are the same as previously released versions.  He comes in a bad ass box, just like Broly and Vegetto featuring neon art based on a toy shot.

The key take away here is the sharp paint.  The blue pops off the muted greens, and the grey armor pieces and wings have a metallic sheen to it.  All in all it feels quality, more so than the previous two releases in fact.  I was least excited about this one when it was announced, but now that he is in hand, I am pleasantly surprised.  It’s a sharp release.

Read on to check out over 35 HD images showing off his base poses and comparisons with the older releases.  We’ll do the same for Vegetto later tonight and then dig into some fun shots for tomorrow.  These are courtesy of Bluefin Brands and Tamashii Nations, and will be available at all Dragonball Tour stops throughout the rest of the year.  First one being SDCC in under 2 weeks!

Well, I guess this weekend will be Dragonball themed here on Toyark because right after we posted the Majin Vegeta gallery earlier this morning a box showed up with all 3 San Diego Comic Con / Dragonball Tour SHF DBZ exclusives!  The Event Exclusive Color Editions of Broly, Perfect Cell and SSGSS Vegito are all here and in hand.

Instead of doing full galleries for all 3 and waiting to post until it’s done, we will try getting them up in spurts.  First we will do the basic shots including comparisons, showing off the looks and features. Once done with those for all 3, we’ll jump in and run em for them fancy pants shots.

First up is Broly!  Broly is exactly the same mold and accessory wise as the previous 2 releases.  This color scheme is a bit more muted than the previous ones, less saturated.  The hair is yellow-green, but less green than before.  The gi has a pinkish hue to it rather than the reds on the others.  The skin tone is similar to the last release, but has more of a pink tint rather than the beige of the 2016 one, and orange tint from the 2014 one.  Pants are also similar to 2016, but less saturated.  Finally the energy blasts are a lighter green this round compared to the previous 2 which were a darker saturated green.

Bottom line, it’s similar to 2016, but different enough to tell when standing side by side.  Broly has a different tone to him every time he’s on screen, so it’s all about what your preference is.  All of them can work.

Read on to check out 30 intro shots and check back later today and tomorrow for more from Cell and Vegito!  These are courtesy of Bluefin Brands and Tamashii Nations, and will be available at all Dragonball Tour stops throughout the rest of the year.  First one being SDCC in under 2 weeks!
