The History of Dragon Ball Z Figuarts

Initially Irwin cornered the marked on Dragon Ball Z Toys/Figures. Although these figures didn't offer much they were all we had. That is until, one company made a bold new move and produced the S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball Z Figuarts we know and love today. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you The History of Dragon Ball Z Figuarts: Part 1

[@itisnotsosimple]

I had a head canon as a kid that the reason that corrin grew senzu beans was because kami (who lived above him) invented them and told corrin to grow them. Piccolo and Kami are supposed to be to sides of the same coin so I thought the "Special BEAN cannon" was the opposite of a senzu bean. One was food that could heal you and the other was a move that could kill you. Pretty funny that I made all that up over mishearing something.

Just wait on it there gonna get even more expensive with all the new ones coming out lately

The older figures are kind of terrible compared to the new molds coming out

[@krx50]

Irwin Toys was not the only company that made DB-related toys. For a while, Jakk's Pacific made toys for Dragon Ball, Z, and GT, but eventually lost the license

[@badassdanthepowerman6438]

The OG Piccolo still holds his own on the shelf even next to the newest releases, such a great figure, if only the new one was as good.

[@pengunootingson]

I love these figures but they’re so expensive, it’s hard to keep up with new releases unless you REALLY dedicate yourself to them. So unfortunately, I end up having to pay more because of this.

[@BrownSpidey]

Hey Guys! Can we get 200 likes for this one? I'm really hoping you guys enjoy it, as I didn't think it's something too commonly seen on KZbin especially for DBZ Figuarts. Did you make it all the way to the end of the video?!

[@Jagould1984]

Do you know if SH Figuarts from China that you can get on Ebay are inferior or any reason not-to-buy?

[@BrownSpidey]

Most of the time you're probably seeing knock offs by a company called Datong...or possibly worse bootlegs. One of the easiest ways to tell if a figure is legit used to be the presence of a Toei sticker on the box but even now they've started faking these. Best of luck!

[@quicklyform5162]

BrownSpidey I'm getting a ssgss Goku and it has the sticker

[@Merit16]

J G there actually not to bad looking from what I have seen,although I do know it's common for there joints to very lose compared to the real one's.

[@diabeticon87]

Yep yep

[@imalegend2006]

Piccolo in Manga colours never really made much sense since in the Manga he also only has 3 fingers on his hand and yet the Figure has 4.

[@BrownSpidey]

So true!

[@WZOO1224]

@Elina6Elina the man said fingers, not thumb.

[@sweg1346]

for those who were wondering what SH stands, its souchaku henshin (complex metamorphosis)

[@smashblaster1-up190]

I love most of the DB S.H. Figuarts figures but they all have one common problem and that is they aren’t the right size, some figures are suppost to be taller or shorter than others like Cell or Nappa in where they’re suppost to be taller

[@BrownSpidey]

Yeah, scaling is an issue that seems to be a recurring problem throughout figuarts in general

[@jopesol7765]

I was well into my adult years the first time I saw a SH figuarts Dragon Ball Z figure and I knew I HAD to have it tight then and there.
