SH Figuarts & D-Arts (Non-Toku) Combined Discussion

Guyver Spawn · 06-05-2014, 12:03 AM

Battle of Gods is a new movie, so I can see them cashing in on it. I'm not sure how Broli will work given how huge his body. Coola (Cooler) and Janemba would make good SHF figures. I do think SSj Gogeta is possible too. I doubt the other movie villains get figures since they don't seem to be very popular.

Aw, Lucario can't even hold his Aura Sphere... It needs a stand to keep it in place. And the dreads on mine seem a little loose. Otherwise he's a pretty solid figure and I quite like him. I really like how they did his thigh swivel since the hips wouldn't really allow them to move otherwise.

Edit: Scratch that looseness, just realized I put them on the wrong sides after swapping eyes. Swapping back fixed that problems.

No, I don't think we should expect a Beerus at all. Despite being a new movie, DBZ figures still are only made because of the western market and that movie isn't even out here yet. Who knows how it could go over. Plus it's probably nostalgia really driving the sales, so a new (and IMO boring) villain of course wouldn't fit that. Brolly does consistently get the top of polls, but his big size is going to prevent him from being made soon, especially since that's why Nappa was cancelled (despite having a prototype and everything). Cooler, though... Yeah, that's a movie villain I could see happening.

I always love Janemba's design, so I would buy a figure of him. With Buu, I think they need to do Fat Buu, Super Buu, Buuhan and Kid Buu. Broli would sell well with both the US and Japanese fanbase.

Good to hear that Lucario seems to be a pretty decent figure.

Broly would be neat. I wonder if he would be popular enough, though. I know he's a popular movie villain, but that isn't saying much considering that's putting him against the likes of Slug and Android 13...

Bardock is the only movie "villain" I need

Wasn't Bardock from a TV special, making him just slightly more canon than Broly, Slug, etc?

Lord Slug. I need a damn Lord Slug.

Broly consistently comes at the top of Bluefin's polls for all DBZ characters, so he's popular enough. They've just also said he pretty much won't be happening because of size, though. (Since nobody's going to want his regular-sized form over the Legendary Super Saiyan.)

Janemba is indeed pretty cool. But like Slug and Android 13 (

), I doubt he's popular enough.

Bardock, though... Hmm. Hadn't considered him. Totally a possibility.

Bardock would be pretty damn cool to get. Cooler would be another fun one to get.
