Toy Review: S.H. Figuarts Yamcha Dragon Ball Z Action Figure

Toy Review: S.H. Figuarts Yamcha Dragon Ball Z Action Figure - Bandai Tamashii Nations

Yamcha was an enemy of Goku at the beginning of the Dragonball Z manga and managed to defeat Kid Goku. Subsequently, he became Goku's ally and took the side of the Z Fighters as a powerful fighter, one of the strongest Earthlings.

In the Vegeta Saga, Yamcha fought along side Krillin, Tien Shinhan and Chao Tzu to stop the attacking Saiyans Vegeta and Nappa. The S.H. Figuarts Yamcha Dragon Ball Z Action Figureaccurately replicates this character in the Vegeta Saga battle.

Other than the Yamcha figure whose articulation and possibility are things we have gotten used to in S.H Figuarts Dragonball Z figures, the S.H. Figuarts Yamcha Dragon Ball Z Action Figure also comes with a Saibaman accessory which is a great addition.

The Saibamen were small green alien like creatures which sprouted when the Saiyan Nappa planted seeds in the ground, one Saibaman per seed. They were some sort of entertainment or warm up to the main battle before Goku was revived to join the Z Fighters.

Tien Shinhan took on the first Saibaman and defeated him easily. Yamcha volunteered to go next, in place of Krillin.

After Yamcha seemingly defeated his Saibaman, he got careless and the Saibaman managed to jump on and latch onto him and proceeded to self explode.

Yamcha was killed along with the Saibaman in this explosion and the S.H. Figuarts Yamcha Dragon Ball Z Action Figure allows us to recreate this scene from the Dragonball Z manga. One of the wrists of the Saibaman is detachable to accurately replicate this scene.

Yamcha's death made Krillin realize that Yamcha took his place in the fight against the Saibaman because he knew that Krillin had already been revived once with the Dragonballs and would not be able to come back to live again if Krillin were to die. Hence, Yamcha took the risk to fight the Saibaman, to test out their true powers in case of any surprises.

This enraged Krillin and he launches the Expanding Enery Wave blast attach which splits and kills off all the remaining Saibamen.

The S.H. Figuarts Yamcha Dragon Ball Z Action Figure stands about 6 inches tall and is super articulated. He looks great beside other S.H Figuarts figures like Tien Shinhan and Chao Tzu and Vegeta and Nappa. Collect them all now for a great display.

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

Guyver Figure- Guyver III Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection 01 Review

Written By Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay The Guyver Figures from the Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection are one of the coolest toy figures I have ever came across. The Guyver III Bio Fighter Collection Series 01 (Max Factory) is the first figure of this series. Lets review it point by point: Packaging: I personally love the packaging for this series. The outer layer is a transparent box which offers protection for the second layer. The second layer is the packaging which houses the plastic covers that sandwiches the Guyver III within it. It really looks good on display with all the printouts of the images of the toy itself, as well as display of the arsenal of interchangable arms and blades(more on this later). What is best is that you do not need to make any cuts or tears to the box in order to get the toy out. This means that if at any point you do not want to display the Guyver III figure any more, you can just pack it back in to the box just like the first day you re

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
