Toy Review: S.H Figuarts Tien Shinhan with Chao Tzu Dragonball Z Action Figure - Bandai Tamashii Nations

Tien Shinhan is one of the strongest Earthlings in the Dragon Ball Z series and an interesting character to allow us to take a break from Saiyans and Super Saiyans. The  S.H. Figuarts Tien Shinhan Action Figure captures this look very well but I sort of hope that he should have some clothing or accessory for us to convert his attire to a one shoulder tank top as seen in the Android Sage versus the bare upper body we see here.





One shoulder tank top attire and preparing the Neo Tri Beam attack to stop Cell Version 2 from getting to Android 18.



The S.H. Figuarts Tien Shinhan Action Figure depicts Tien Shin Han during the Vegeta Saga and hence the move that he is pulling off here is the Tri Beam and not the Neo Tri Beam. This move is always done with Tien hovering over his enemy and firing from the top down.

Sadly, this figure does not come with the display stand so you will have to purchase an extra one if you wish to pose him hovering in the sky with preparing for this move. You can purchase the Bandai Tamsashii Nations Humanoid Stands Here.




The S.H. Figuarts Tien Shinhan Action Figure along side Yamcha who is another non lead character that adds variety to the cast of characters other than Saiyans.


Now, the S.H. Figuarts Tien Shinhan Action Figure also comes with a non poseable Chao Tzu figure with a teary eye. This Chao Tzu figure serves only one purpose and that is to be attached to the back of Nappa to re-enact the scene where Chao Tzu self exploded in a bid to save Tien Shinhan but Nappa escaped unscathed and Chao Tzu sacrificed himself for nothing. That scene used to affect me greatly when I was a kid. Now, instead of feeling any sadness I find this Chao Tzu figure very cute.


So, I would say that Bandai Tamashii Nations has launched several interesting Dragonball Z action figures and you would need to collect Vegeta , Nappa, Tien Shinhan and Chao Tzu and S.H. Figuarts Yamcha and Saibaman in order to fully re-enact the whole Vegeta saga scene and it makes for a very nice and interesting display.


The S.H. Figuarts Tien Shinhan Dragonball Z Action Figure comes with the following
  • Tien Shinhan S.H. Figuarts comes with a fixed pose Chao Tzu
  • Stands approximately 6 inches tall
  • This figure is a tamashii web shop exclusive item, release will be limited
  • Product bears official Bluefin Distribution logo
  • The affixed label with the Bluefin Distribution logo also entitles the purchaser to product support assistance

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 Guyver Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 10 Review

Written By Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay Packaging for  Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection 10 Gigantic Guyver Figure  is the same as that of the previous Gigantic Dark Guyver Figure . There are openings on the side of the package so that you can see the accessories more clearly. I guess the only reason for doing that is to tempt collectors more : ) Despite his size, the  Gigantic Guyver  is super articulated. Joints at the elbows allow for bending more then 90 degrees. The green gravitational boosters on the body are translucent and looks as if they are pulsating with energy. Once again, Max Factory has impressed me with the details on the  Gigantic Guyver's  face. No paint bleeding of any sort can be seen. All the details on the face are captured. The head can not only tilt downwards as in previous figures.  Gigantic Dark Guyver  and Gigantic Guyver can both tilt their heads upwards by around 45 degrees, opening up new possibi...

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. ...
