Full Power Goku is in, but the verdict is still very much out. I am pleasantly surprised with the overall likeness of the face plates - I wasn’t at all expecting that, judging by what Tamashii had previously shown in press photos. I’ve heard others say they were disappointed when their figure didn’t have any airbrush shading work. However, mine definitely has a ruddy brownish tint across both the legs and torso. Could this possibly be varying quality control between factories? Either way, I was very disappointed that the colours aren’t at all accurate to the anime and are be better suited to help update 1.0 Ultimate Gohan. I imagine a lot of collectors will be doing the same.

I’ve been waiting on this one for the longest time. What a great figure! Now I can finally throw colonel mustard in the trash can, where he belongs! 👏

Christmas came early this year, when I was luckily able to add this magnificent beast to the collection! Coming in for an absolute steal considering what scalpers are demanding for him nowadays.

Had intended on picking up one of the new Super Heroes Figuarts, either Gohan or Vegeta, as my next addition to the collection. However, this came up nearby at a price I just couldn’t pass on. Super stoked with this little guy and glad I can finally add him to the cell saga display. Should make for an excellent companion piece to my original SDCC Gohan 🤙

Despite my unwavering dislike of the stylistic decisions Tamashii chose for this figure, I just couldn’t say no to him at the price. I guess, at least, I finally have a much needed combatant to display alongside my Ginyu 🥳

I am still incredulous that I was finally able to score an EE Omen Goku! Much less at such a reasonable price. Given the current state of the market, I had almost given up hope. Extremely grateful to the seller. Cannot wait to add the crowning centrepiece to my Frieza Saga display!

In my opinion this version of Goku is superior to the silver haired version, aesthetically. I’m just tired of “your hair color/length determines how powerful you are” that Dragon Ball has become.

Whilst I do still watch the latest Super movies, it is more so for the nostalgic experience of seeing any Dragon Ball content in theatres. I can’t stand how the show has effectively decannonised all of the character development of Z. For that reason, I am not collecting any more figures from the Super Figuarts line. Instead, I will be displaying my UI Goku with the spare Kaioken Goku hairpiece and a SROE faceplate to approximate his appearance as he fought Vegeta. Silver hair? 🤬

Yet another Goku shaped piece of plastic for the collection. Though, I must say, this one is more than a pinch spicier than the original recipe. Turles really is an impressive figure in hand and has been a bucket list figure to me for a long time now. Must have voted for him nearly half a dozen times in every Tamashii nations poll. SO happy to add this guy to the pile!

I’ve been waiting patiently to get my hands on this bad ass 2.0 Piccolo. Finally got an opportunity to snap him up for a great deal and I’m so glad I didn’t hesitate. Great figure.

Despite my immense dislike of the new Dragon Ball Heroes movie, I had to make an exception and pick up this awesome Vegeta. He’ll certainly make a good stand in for a powered down Buu saga or Tournament arc Vegeta.

SupremeKai what do you dislike so much about the movie? I bought it and watched it in Japanese with subtitles and I liked it a lot better. Beerus wasn't so cringey in that version.

Branjita Good question. I had several problems regarding the direction of this movie. Primarily, Toei’s decision to reimagine Toriyama’s art style as an entirely 3-dimensional production. Rather than the traditional hand-drawn style, seemed to be lazy and soulless. All the character design choices for the new transformations and original characters, alike, were lacklustre and boring. They just didn’t gel with the iconic Dragon Ball Z aesthetic. Nor did they feel like they were even pulled from the same imaginary universe. The plot was equally unimaginative and was basically a recycled mash up of World’s Strongest meets Bio-Broly type of affair. However, it completely failed to recapture any semblance of a palpable or present threat seen in either film. crap film. Dragon Ball Daimo 🙏

I'm more upset at the merchandise for the movie. Dr. Hedo, Magenta, Carmine, and Cell Max barely exist in figure form at all. This has resulted in only heroes being made, which is a real shame.
The movie wasn't my favorite, but in Japanese it is a lot better movie... and I'm not normally a person who would say that.
