Couple thoughts as I open Vegeta... The figure itself is pretty damn phenomenal for the price point. Comparable to SHF, but a fraction of the cost? I'll be getting the entire series. - Wish they had added some shading. Nothing a bit of paint washing can't fix, though. - I'm not FULLY understanding why they couldn't do SSJ as an alternate head instead of its own figure, but -- if people are willing to pay for it (I am), good on 'em. Can buy both SSJ and black hair for still only part of what a SHF costs. - The BAF is cool, but could at least give it SOME articulation. Moving arms. Moving jaw, etc. Not asking for too much. - For not having an ab crunch or full ankle articulation, he's got a damn good range of motion. - Vegeta needed a slightly thinner neck. I get that he's bulky for his height, but -- damn. Anyone else? Thoughts? Im highly considering getting these but i know i will have to get them all once i start. I have the original wave of SH Figuarts but have not been able to keep up on them all due to price point. Should i continue with Figuarts since i have 10 already or should i begin a new journey kn these figures? Totally your call, but I dig these figs. When my biggest issue is having to pay for base and SSJ figs separately, instead of getting extra heads? They're pretty damn good. Especially when buying both are STILL cheaper than SHF. There are side-by-side reviews on YouTube. But I love these for what they are, and they have at least four waves total coming

Found the second half of that Dragon Ball Super wave at Walgreens minus the base form Goku. Vegeta is basically a straight up repaint/re-release but I've gotta say that Frieza looks pretty damn good. May actually go back and pick him up.

Found the base form Goku. I woulda bought it but the budget's a little tight at the moment. Seriously though, that line of figures, articulation wise, is everything I wanted as a kid. I got stuck with those crap Jakks figures that were almost all 5 POA or had some sort of lame action feature. Really hoping to pick up both Base form Goku and Vegeta and Frieza. Could care less about anything from Super.

Saw these earlier, not sure exactly what the event is but more pics of upcoming SH Figuarts DB/DBZ/DBS is always cool:
It annoys me that the Super Saiyan God Goku has the same body as Super Saiyan 3 as opposed to the first ever proto shown a few years ago where he is much slimmer (and accurate) compared to previous Goku's. I didn't mind SS3 having a larger body type compared to my base/SS/SS Awakening/SSGSS Goku's but SSG having it will bug me once it's on my display lol 😒

Could care less about anything from Super. How much was it? I kept holding off on that figure when it was £40 on Amazon, now it’s £130 😩 I ended up improvising by buying an ultimate Gohan and using the base form Goku head that came with Super Saiyan Blue. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt about SHF, it’s don’t ever hold out thinking they’ll be cheaper because the price just sky rockets everytime lol

At gamestop I'm pretty sure they're labeled at 21 bucks and some change.. Still haven't bit the bullet but if I see 'em again I'll defiantly jump on him and Frieza

Goku Black, Golden Frieza, Majin Vegeta and Tien look completely sick! Just picked up SSJ Vegeta on Amazon for 17.99

I hope we still get the Android/Cell saga Tien and Yamcha that was shown before the Saiyan saga versions, but I'm not too confident.

Got Goku today at walgreens. Had 5 dollars in rewards..so only got him for like 16 so def worth the pick up. I don't own any DBZ figuarts but I own quite a few figuarts (MMPR, Turtles, Street Fighter) and figmas and he blends in nicely. Really digging this fig. May have to snag Vegeta and Frieza.

Apologies for it being un-figure related but this is the only active DB/DBZ/DBS thread on the forum. Just wanted to share a Goku project I finished last week where I drew all of his different Super Saiyan forms in colour from March till a day before the debut of his Ultra Instinct form (except SSR Goku Black which was done in December 2016). Hope y’all like it 👍🏽 There’s individual/close up pics on my Instagram if anyone cares: www.instagram.com/edgejhagra

Ended up buying the Dragon Stars line Base Form Goku. Really happy with it, looks great, only knock that I'd give it is I wish the ball pegs in the wrists moved better and I wish he came with atleast an alternate face. Smiling or screaming woulda been cool but for 21 and some change I can't complain. Definitley want both Vegetas and that Frieza. Don't care about Beerus or the SS Goku (I'm happy with the Figuarts version I have). No real need to build Shenron but once I get all the pieces I'll sell 'em as a lot.
*Edit*
So after posing around Goku I had to buy that base form Vegeta. Just ordered him. These are probably gonna be one of my new favorite things to collect. The nostalgic feeling is overwhelming. lol. Probably won't buy any of the Super characters but I really hope this line does well. Would love to get all the Z Fighters, Cell, Kid Buu, Broly, Bojack, and Super Android 13. Lots of opportunity for this line to grow.

(Below is a copy/paste of the "Review" or my opinion on this figure I left for my Instagram followers to possibly read. Figured I might as well post it here too. Enjoy fellas.) So finally busting this figure out of the box I've gotta say I'm EXTREMELY happy with it. He comes with interchangeable hands and pieces 6&7 to build your own Shenron. Testing out the articulation you can get him into NEARLY every Goku-esque pose you'd typically want to put him in. Comparing him to the only other DBZ SH Figuarts/Bandai toy I have (SS Goku) I'd say they're pretty similar in the articulation department. You can get Goku in to variety of poses with the only difference between this and the SH Figuarts release is the size, the neck hinge and lack of interchangeable faces. This is a great alternative for people like me who don't want to (or feel the need to) shell out 50+ for an action figure of some of their favorite and timeless characters like Goku here. I just ordered Vegeta and I can definitley pose him around/review him like this at your request. If you've made it this far Thank you very much and be sure to support this line if you're interested. I definitely reccomend this to any Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Super, or GT fan! Remember, these lines won't survive if you don't make the effort to go out and test the waters yourself, I don't think you'll regret it! -KK
