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

Zoaloard Gyuot/Guyot Action Figure with Unito Remover - Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 07 Review

Written by Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay The packaging for the Zoalord Gyout has been changed and replaced with what you see here. A blue paper box with the plastic casing housed inside.. I personally do not like the packaging because it apppears more low end and it breaks the continuity from the previous  Guyver Figures . But as soon as I opened the box and held the Gyuot figure in my hands, I fell in love with him immediately. The eyes are painted with orange reflective paint so that it glows under certain lighting. The Zoa Crystal and the gravitation orbs are made of a certain translucent material that seems to glow even though you know that they are not really glowing. I was elated to see that Gyuot had tons of accessories. The  Zoalord Gyout  comes with chest armour plates which you can attach on by removing Gyuot's head and wearing it over his shoulders. He also comes with armour for the shoulders, wrists, knees and legs. It gives him a really majestic lo...

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. ...
