Bandai Tamashii Nations S.H. Figuarts Son Gohan "Dragonball Z" Action Figure Review

We have already started to take for granted the high quality Dragonball Z toy figures from the S.H Figuarts line. The S.H. Figuarts Son Gohan was one of the earliest to be released in the line and at one point of time the price rose to over $200. Thankfully, with a re-issue, the price has recovered back to an acceptable range of less than $40 so it is a good chance to get it for collectors late to this line.
Paint-job is excellent and the details are incredible. There are shadings on his hair, belt and shoes so it really looks great and the resemblance to the character from the anime is uncanny. The only drawback is that some may find him too small standing at about 5 inches from the tip of his hair to his foot. 


The S.H. Figuarts Son Gohan comes with 2 interchangeable heads to depict his transformation between Super Saiyan 1 and Super Saiyan 2. He has 4 extra faceplates and even though most of them portray Gohan in his serious expression but one of them is more comical for some light hearted poses.The S.H Figuarts Son Gohan also comes with the Namekian Cape from Piccolo when he completed his training in the Room of Spirit and Time.


Articulation wise, there is nothing you cannot do with the S.H. Figuarts Son Gohan so just go ahead and let your imagination run wild. But one of the complaints is that his arms are abit loose and they come off too easily so it might be a bit frustrating when you pose him. 

The S.H. Figuarts Son Gohan has a rating of 4.4/5 on Amazon with 103 customer reviews. Here are some of the things other collectors are saying about this toy figure
  • My son loved this well made action figure
  • Must buy for collectors of DBZ
  • Consider me a satisfied customer
  • If you want a Son Gohan I recommend this! It came early and it was in perfect shape!

Material(s): ABS, PVC
Original Price: ¥3200 (41.00USD)
Release date: July 2010
Height: 110 mm (4.3 in)

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...

Toy Review: Dawn of Justice Hot Toys Gal Gadot Wonder Woman 1/6th Scale Movie Masterpiece Figure

The Hot Toys Wonder Woman Figure looks very impressive indeed. Gal Gadot really carried the Wonder Woman character very well and I'm really excited that she has been given the Hot Toys treatment. This movie accurate Hot Toys Wonder Woman Figure is crafted with likeness to actress Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman in the movie Dawn of Justice. I love that the hair on the figure is using real fabric hair instead of sculpted hair and it looks very natural on the figure. The  Hot Toys Wonder Woman Figure  also comes with very detailed sculpting with her signature tiara, battle armor and weapons. It also comes with a Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice themed figure stand. There are no obvious ugly joints on the figure and it is sure to look very good on display. Even though the sculpt on Hot Toys figures have always been of high quality, I do hope that the final product will be further improved. Looking at all these close ups of the  Hot Toys Wonder W...

Bandai Tamashii Nations - SH Figuarts DBZ Majin Buu Figure Review

Introduction - SH Figuarts Majin Buu Figure Review   "Buu turn you into candy and eat you!"  The Majin Buu is the final villain in the Dragon Ball Z Manga. Honestly, I did not like the Dragon Ball Z Majin Buu Saga when I read the manga as a kid. I felt that the author should have ended the manga after the Cell Arc. All the different forms of the Majin Buu such as Kid Buu, Super Buu (Evil Buu) , Innocent Buu (Fat Buu or Zen Buu) as well as the other intermediate forms as Buu absorbed other characters really got me thinking that the author was   running out of ideas. Nevertheless, the character design is pretty unique and the SH Figuarts Majin Buu (Fat Buu or Zen version) captured this very well.  Packaging I knew that the SH Figuarts Majin Buu was going to be a big figure but when I received the actual figure, I was pleasantly surprised that it was HUGE . The box itself is much larger than the SH Figuarts DBZ Nappa figure. ...
