S.H Figuarts Shenron Bandai Tamashii Nations Dragon Ball Z Toy Review

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.

The S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball Z Shenron figure is available for sale on Amazon.com Now.

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
