Bandai Tamshii Nations S.H Figuarts Dragonball Z Son Goku Super Saiyan Warrior Awakening Action Figure Review

This version of the S.H. Figuarts Super Saiyan Awakening Son Goku depicts his first transformation into a Super Saiyan during his battle with Freeza on the Planet Namek.

The detailing is superb and I especially like the battle damaged effects he has on his clothing after his intense battle with Final Form Freeza.

In terms of accessories, the S.H. Figuarts Super Saiyan Awakening Son Goku comes with 2 additional interchangeable faces to show different facial expressions. There is a normal cool looking face, an angry face with him baring his teeth and one best used with the Kame-Hame-Ha as seen below.

I think SH Figurarts figures are of pretty high quality and they have gotten the face right for Son Goku. Many of my Dragonball Z Toys from my childhood did not have this level of quality and i had to bear with figures just barely resembling Goku. Well, not any more with the S.H. Figuarts Dragonball Z line.

There are also 8 interchangeable hands for you to pose with so that you can execute his Kame-Hame-Ha, simple punching or clasping his fists. Other than that, the S.H. Figuarts Super Saiyan Awakening Son Goku is fun to play with and I can't wait to get my hands on Final Form Freeza to re-enact this epic battle.

The great pity is however, that the Bandai Tamashii Nations Yellow Energy Aura is sold seperately so when you open up your S.H. Figuarts Super Saiyan Awakening Son Goku, you might get a little disappointed with the lack of accessories.

Thankfully, the Bandai Tamashii Nations Yellow Energy Aura is not too expensive, costing an additional $15 dollars so I guess I can bear with it. It is obviously a tactic to generate more sales so there is no point in getting into big complaints over these things.

The S.H. Figurats Dragonball Z figures are getting very good reviews on Amazon.com. Currently, the S.H. Figuarts Super Saiyan Awakening Son Goku is getting a score of 4.8/5 with 52 customers reviews.

Toy Review: Max Factory Figma Guyver I Figure vs Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver I Figure

I have been a collector of the Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver figures for many years now and it was only recently that the Figma Guyver I came to my attention. Even though I have seen pictures of the Figma Guyver I figure for a while, I had always thought that it was just a scaled down version of the previous Bio Fighter Collection Guyver I figure. It turns out that I was wrong and there are many differences between the old and new Guyver figure and the Figma Guyver I could be a good start to a promising toy line. In terms of scale, the Figma Guyver I figure is smaller than the BFC Guyver I figure but the differences do not stop here. Articulation and paint job wise, the Figma version is fantastic and even more articulated than the BFC version. For example, the Figma Guyver I can actually perform a high kick and a split which the BFC Guyver I is not able to, due to the very hard rubber located near the waist. Also, you can switch o...

Gigantic Dark Guyver III Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 09 Review

Written by Jax Pics Courtesy of Donnay The packaging for the Gigantic Dark Guyver is as shown. Box art looks great, and all the accessories can be seen through the clear display window. The Gigantic Dark Guyver comes with GigaSmasher changeable part, Gravity ram (long and short), Two interchangeable heads, one with sonic orbs closed and one open, three high frequency swords for each arm, interchangeable wrist parts (fist, grab, and hold), and an improved display stand (more on this) After spending about 10 mins untying all the wiring binding the Gigantic Dark Figure, he is finally released from his plastic prison and ready for action! But first let me point out a personal experience I had with the Gigantic Dark Guyver's High Frequency Blades. Everyone should take note of this. The three blades on the arm work this way. The longest and second longest blades have holes on the ends of the blades it self. On the arms there are corresponding pegs whe...

Zoalord Pluqstahl Figure-Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 11 Review

Written by Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay The packaging for the Lightning Zoalord Pluqstahl Action Figure has been reverted back to the previous designs like Guyvers I,II,III etc. I like this packaging design more so this got me pretty happy to begin with. Once again, I would like to emphasize that in order to get the Pluqstahl Action Figure out of the box, no cuts or tears are needed. So the toy maintains much of its value even after it has been removed from the box and is no longer considered mint in sealed box. Though of course a brand new Guyver Figure is still worth more then one that has been displayed. The eyes this time round no longer employs the reflective paint seen in the Guyver Figures as well as the Zoalord Gyout. Would have preferred Max Factory to build on the good points in past figures and retain it in future figures. Lots of intricate details on the face and the essense of the character is very well capture in t...
