Toy Review: SH Figuarts Nappa Dragon Ball Z Action Figure - Bandai Tamashii Nations

The S.H. Figuarts Nappa Dragonball Z Figure  is beautifully sculpted and really captures his destructive, violent and cocky personality. The thing about S.H Figuarts Dragonball Z figure is that all of them replicate expressions of the characters really well and it really feels like you interacting with the actual characters from the manga when you play with the figures. Nappa was an elite Saiyan soldier from Planet Vegeta and  Vegeta's  partner in combat in the Dragonball Z manga.  Vegeta and Nappa received a distress call from Raditz ( Son Goku's biological brother ) when he was defeated by Piccolo and Goku. They then got wind of the existence of the Dragonballs and decided to attack Planet Earth. The  S.H. Figuarts Nappa Dragonball Z Figure  comes with a display stand and an effect part for his Blazing Storm Attack which is great because S.H Figuarts Dragonball Z figures rarely come with additional effect parts. The interchangeable han...

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 Figure accurately 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 rev...

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 ...
