The S.H Figuarts Dragon Ball Z toy series is really picking up on its figures and the S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball Z Shenron figure looks absolutely stunning. Just look at the sculpt and all the minor details such as his scales and fins and you know that this figure is a must get. At 280mm long, this figure will tower over the rest of your SH Figuarts Dragon Ball Z figure and will look great hovering over them in the background.
In terms of articulation, it is a bit tricky. If you look closely at the pictures you will notice that there are joints on them and yes, the SH Figuarts Shenron figure is articulated. But there is really only a few ways to pose him to look good because if you adopt any other pose other than what you see in the picture, the red lines running along his belly looks disconnected and weird. So yeah, even though this figure is articulated, you wont want to deviate too much from standard poses for it to look good.
The arms and head are articulated too so that is probably all that you are going to play with.

The S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball Z Shenron does not come with this Thunder Yellow lightning effect and the picture is only for demonstration purposes. It does come with the yellow base shown in the first picture and if you look closely, you see hints of spherical objects hidden inside and yes, those are Dragon Balls. However, that accessory is just one piece of 7 spherical metallic balls linked together and you cant really do anything with it. It would have been a good opportunity to include 7 Dragon Balls which can be attached at strategic locations along the figure stand or the Shenron figure itself. That would look cool.
The reason that the SH Figuarts Shenron did not include any Dragon Ball is that there are plans by SH Figuarts Dragon Ball Z figures to start carrying Dragon Ball Accessories. The first figure to do so will be the S.H Figuarts Kid Goku figure who will carry the 4 Star Dragon Ball. I am guessing that SH Figuarts is going to release Dragon Balls with less popular figures in order to get collectors to collect all 7 Dragon Balls just like in the manga.
The mouth of the SH Figuarts Dragon Ball Z Shenron figure is articulated and also in this picture you can see the detail on his head and the body. It's a really nice sculpt.
