Toy Review: Bandai Tamashii Nations S.H. Figuarts Piccolo Dragonball Z Action Figure

The S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure is a fantastic figure at a fantastic price. First released in Novemeber 2009, this figure had a recommended retail price of USD$45. Surprisingly, this beautiful S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure and can still be found on Amazon.com at a very reasonably $35 dollars at the point of writing.


Looking closely at the S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure, you can tell that Bandai did a fantastic job and they really captured the feel of Piccolo very well. The figure itself stands at around 170mm and comes with many accessories that you can mix and match, making it a very fun figure to have. He comes with interchangeable hands, face and his iconic costume with turban and cape. 

Also, I think Piccolo looks very nice with folded arms which is also included. The S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure is very articulated and the joints are smooth, making posing easy. 



A small regret is that the S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure does not come with any energy effects even though he has the interchangeable hand that depicts him "charging up" for his most powerful attack, the Special Beam Cannon or the Makankosappo which roughly translates to Demonic Penetrating Light Death Cannon". There are some custom made energy effects like this one that you can get off Ebay or other custom websites.


Paint job wise, the figure is top notch and very well detailed. In terms of colour scheme, the S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure is using the manga colour instead of the anime colour which means that his arm muscles are painted yellow instead of pink. If you want the anime colour version, you will have to go for the SDCC Exclusive S.H Figuarts Piccolo which costs roughly 3 times the price.


On a personal level, I quite like Piccolo as a Dragonball Z character because he is cool headed and often acts like a tactician. Besides, he is one of the most powerful Z warrior, discounting all the Saiyans of course.


The S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure is an amazing toy figure and I strongly recommend it to all S.H Figuarts collectors. Besides, the low price of USD$35 offers a pretty low entry price for such a beautifully made toy figure.

Check out what other buyers are saying about the S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure. He currently holds a score of 4.6/5 with 111 customer reviews on Amazon.com

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 where you can fit

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 out the chest p

Jax Woon's Collection - Rare Guyver Figures 100% Complete Collection in Glass Display Cabinet

I just moved to my new house and finally got a proper toy display cabinet for my toy collection. The centre-piece of my collection is of course the Guyver anime figures from the Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Series. I have had many friends coming over to my place and commenting that these Guyver Figures look very nice but they had no idea who these characters were. If you do not already know them and are a fan of anime, I highly recommend that you purchase the Guyver Anime: Complete Box Set [Blu-ray] from Amazon.com to get to know them. It is just 26 episodes so it will not take up a lot of your time to start a new anime series. I consider myself lucky to have been able to complete the collection way before the prices sky rocketed in the secondary market. Just doing a quick search on Ebay and you will find that the average listed price for the Guyver Figures is about USD$200 to USD$400 per figure meaning the prices have more than tripled from the time of relea
