Can anyone translate the promo for the SHF Ultraman Alpha Edge enough to confirm whether it has light up features? Would be an interesting step, and have further significance for Marvel and SW SHF if implemented without sacrificing mobility.
Z costs roughly 35 dollars and I can tell you wholeheartedly, with out translating, that it won't. Sorry bud
For those that missed out on the DB stands that @ManelFigures posted, you guys will have a second chance according to Toyark. Exclusive Tamashii Nations Dragonball Stands - Quick Photo Shoot - The Toyark - News Hit the link for details.
Premium Bandai never opened a second run for the stands like they did the Androids or Goku, I don’t think they’re getting a second window.
Oh, I bought them on Aliexpress, it must be a KO pack, but are exactly the same with a high quality finish, at 18$ with seven balls.
Welp, good thing I already got those exclusive stands. Getting at least 5 packs of the regular Act 4s from BBTS since I managed to get mine BEFORE this new kinda revision of them with the new parts (the bottom crotch holder, articulated piece that attaches directly to the base, etc), and I gotta futureproof since I got a good portion of new Figuarts coming in. Thinking of maybe bumping that up to 10 since I got a shitton of Figuarts standing on my dresser with museum gel tacked on to their feet, haha. Not to mention that these thing beat the ever-living fuck out of Figma stands, in terms of versatility. Watch someone just point at me and yell "Scalper!".
Haven't seen a mention of this yet. DF's finally putting out a proper modern SSJ head set. Like the IDIOT I am, I never got SSJ Awakening Goku and SSJ Vegeta 2.0, so this is nice to see. I'm at this point really hoping to see them put out both a base and SSJ3 head set for both of these guys, haha. Also, jesus, can we get them to finally branch out? It's always been the Goku and Vegeta show from them as of late with their head upgrade sets. What about Gohan? Vegito? Hell, i'll even take other Goku and Vegeta heads, but with brand new expressions. I see it as a problem when figure customizers are innovating way more than Bandai is. For the sake of that Bandai should get off their ass a bit and try to pick up some pace by taking a hint from those guys. Hell, MAJIN VEGETA DIDN'T COME WITH A FINAL EXPLOSION EXPRESSION. But thankfully, someone was able to keep us from JUST imagining what that would look like. Hell, FUCKING CLASS E ADVENTURER, the ones who made an almost straight KO of #17 that came with a retooled DBS #17 is adding extra ones with their DBS #18. We've seen the Gotenks renders, DF, how much longer shall we suffer for more variety? I'm being a bit hyperbolic, of course, haha. I do honestly wish they would put out more original head sculpt stuff like this instead of relying on just Goku and Vegeta, and existing expression molds for them at that, till the end of time. "The Goku and Vegeta Show" to me, is DBZ's version of "Seeker Fatigue" with MPs. TLDR: Demoniacal Fit and Bandai almost desperately need to broaden their spectrums at this point and try to, respectively, add in original expression molds and try to add a bit of a spin on things rather than giving us the same exact thing but with a new color. I for a second thought this was some sort of new Dasin/Dasheng figure. But DAMN, this is official. Sign me up! I say that yet I have yet to watch Yu Yu Hakusho...
Fwiw, I never got Vegeta 2.0 either. That Android 18 looks good, but the proportions seem off. She looks stretched out. Digging those effect hands though. Would love to see them create a set of effects.
MUCH better. Way less WNBA lol. Face seems a tad off and I'd rather have 2.0 style hips, but overall very nice.
You're in for a treat. Yu Yu Hakusho is arguably better than DBZ's run in the same era. Surprised it hasn't had a new modern run or reboot.
It doesn't say anything about a light up feature, sorry. It simply says they have a special website (ウルトラアーツ | S.H.Figuarts ウルトラマンシリーズ公式サイト) for it (for "Ultraman fans" actually) and that the Ultra Arts subline is launching. No mention of that feature on the website either, just the po/release dates (August 3rd/December), price (3 500+tax) and a statement about more informations coming in August. I don't want to ruin your hope but a 3 500 yens SHF with light up feature seems unlikely to me.
Looks great. I'm reasonably confident 2.0s of some version of 17 and 18 are coming though. The way they sold out the EE version nearly guarantees it.
