Sooooo
What's the difference with the Tamashi Nation SHF Salior Moon?

So when are the sailor moon crystal styled design SHF coming out.

-No clear yellow on the hair
-Colors are slightly brighter
-4 faces (Happy, "Punish You" and Winking from the original and a new Very Happy. It lacks the Tiara-less, Crying and Stern faces from the original)
-Different coloured stand

Honestly, it looks a bit better then the original, I think, but the original has WAY better faces, especially with the First Edition bonuses. I can't believe there's not the tiara-less face!

Hopefully never.

The #1 DBZ figuart that I want to see is Great Saiyaman. Great Saiyaman is pretty much a homage to Kamen Rider, so he works as a Figuart perfectly in my opinion.

As much as I want them, I'd rather they first got the rest of the characters they need to have out. Nevertheless, I definitely want me some manga accurate Figuarts.

Mega Blaziken arrived today (with the Cutie Moon Rod! Yaaaaay) and, while his sculpt is beautiful, I find myself extremely underwhelmed.

Not a single accessory and his mouth is always closed. They might as well have put a "we're cheaping out so you can go buy our over-priced fire effect parts set" on the box.

Wouldn't those just be slight retools of the current figures at best?

Sort of they be more manga accurate and thT what I wod love

I'm still shocked they're going him before Gogeta, considering Gogeta existed first in the series, if I remember correctly.

Not sure if I'd buy a Gotenks or not, his design was weird.

Agreed, the differences in design are so miniscule, it'd barely make a difference.

I guess they went with Vegito first because he is canon. Broly is the only non-canon one so far IIRC.

Gogeta technically did exist first. Fusion Reborn, the movie in which he appears was released between the air dates of episodes 258 & 259. 268 is where Vegito first appears. So yeah Gogeta is barely older as a character but he's there.
I'm sorry but what? :lol

Disputed Cannonicity of characters (a whole other argument I won't get into) literally has nothing to do with who gets made or why. They made Broly because he's popular (mostly in the west admittedly). Vegito is likely being made for similar reasons and because frankly the mold isn't incredibly different from Goku. It'll be cheap to create Vegito. But to imply that the placement of a character in or out of cannon somehow informs what gets made, is just silly.

I never understood the "Broly is popular in the West" thing when all 3 Broly movies were made before DBZ was even dubbed.
I'm not doubting his popularity, I just never understood why it's treated like the West is the one who pumped Broly's popularity when Japan was loving him a decade before us :lol

Also if they going by cannon n manga vigito was round before gogeta to the manga is a thing I don't really count the movie the cannon to manga due to they are hard to fit into the show

They made Broly because his power is maximum. That's all there is to it :p

I seem to be the one that isn't overly excited for the Dragon ball figuarts.

The only two I have are SSJ Vegeta and Normal Goku and those didn't really impress me all that much. I dunno, I guess my nostalgia for DBZ's faded over time.

I'm completely uninterested until they do either Sayaman and/or Sayawoman or Dragon Ball versions.

Hey now. I'm not super excited or drooling over Gogeta/Vegito (I legit don't remember which is which :lol). My favorite characters were even made and I don't own a single one (Piccolo, Goku, and Broly).
I just don't really care about the DBZ Figuarts. It's not out of dulling nostalgia or anything, either. They're just figures I don't see as necessary, honestly.

I can haz that Vegeta?

Scew you. :p

Yeah overall I'm not super impressed by the DBZ figuarts. I have all of them except SDCC Goku and manga Gohan though, lol. It's still the best around. Vegeta suffers from being to soft, something is just off about his appearance. So far I'd say the Androids and Cell are the best so far imo.

I find that posing on Goku tends to be a bit unantural at times. If you don't pose him correctly or look at him dead on, the joints kinda breaks up the illusion of his training clothing a bit.

Vegeta is a bit more solid, but overall…I just don't care for DBZ as figuarts.

Don't get me wrong though, not caring isn't the same as not wanting the ones I already own. :lol

Apparently the Japanese like Rikka a lot too :lol

I'm honestly surprised she was an exclusive, considering her popularity. I think this is one they've probably just underestimated.

For those that have her, what are those cylinder things in front of each of Sailor Saturn's hands? Are they ab pieces that connect her waist to her chest? Why are there so many?

Huh? I don't follow.

It's hard to explain, hahaha. There's an accessory packaged right above each set f hands. It looks to me like a mid-section. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about.

Those white blocks.

EDIT: I looked it up and they're apparently peg holders so that her hands don't get lost easily or jump out of the packaging.

How odd, first I've seen this.

Come on Nippon Yasan, ship my Rikka soon. I need some Light of Intelligence in my life

Funny enough that Akira Toriyama thought of the idea of Gogeta first :lol

Broli is popular in Japan too. He has been promoted in the Dragon Ball Heroes a lot in the past few years and currently has a LSSj4 form in Heroes. Dragon Battlers also give us LSSj3 Broli. There also decent amount of Japanese fan art of him too. Broli, Coola and Gogeta are the most popular movie characters. The other ones like Garlic Jr and Hirudegarn don't seem to get much attention with fans both in Japan and overseas.

Damnit I somehow cracked my Mega Blaziken stage already. :/ And thanks to the color of it I was gushing over before, it's really noticeable...

Oh yeah! I figured that's what you were talking about. That seems to be a new thing to Figuarts. Something they got from Figma I gather. It's kinda welcomed feature in my book

So after getting intrigued by Pretty Cure I decided to look into their Figuarts. I'm sure this has already been talked about, but I'm really curious so I gotta ask; why is Splash Star the only season without a Figuart? Was that season not liked enough? Are they just working on it or something?

The toys didn't sell well so Toei likes to give it the Black Sheep treatment(see Go-Busters). From what I've heard from people who have seen it one the best seasons. That being said Toei suppsedly going to make a big push on Precure Figuarts at the upcoming event

Are we still talking about Precure, or Go-Busters?

Arguably both.

Point taken.

Ah, I get it. Businesses (& by extension fandoms) being stupid again by assuming the one thing that comes after the cashcow is never as good as said cashcow. That's disappointing. But I thought the Pretty Cure Figuarts push was just gonna be finishing up the DokiDoki Cures, or am I wrong on that?

Iirc, the statement was to complete all teams.

Well in the context of my statement I was refering to Splash Star, but it goes both ways :lol.

Hm, interesting. Maybe all teams currently existing as Figuarts. Or we may get Splash Star at some point. What is this event anyway?

Just give me my Cure Beat and Cure Echo figuarts and I'll be a happy Precure fanboy, oh and Cure Honey plus Cure Fortune.

Yay! I hope they show a Cure Beat.
