S.H. Figuarts GAMMA 1 Dragon Ball Super Hero Action Figure Review

[@chumgruntley896]

Someone called all the Gohan accessories across these other figures “action figure DLC” and that seems very accurate to me

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It's not because it's a pack-in. Dlc would be a better situation... Just buy the extra stuff if you want it.

[@warpfrenzy]

@@AnthonysCustoms it’s more like the build a figure trend. At least you don’t need for full wave to enjoy it.

[@Coolreaver93]

They're doing the same for the future SHF Luffy 🤩

[@runoverbyabusspider-man870]

It’s not. An action figure dlc would be like the new sroe Goku accessories coming out

[@tubbymontana7090]

@@warpfrenzy they cost as much as a full wave 😂 especially if you can’t get them on premium Bandai

[@AlphaProto]

In my opinion all the extra Gohan assessories should have been pack in with Pan since she is the smallest figure. That would have made Pan seem worth the price they are selling her for. I think she is $80 and a S.H. Goku is $40.

[@tubbymontana7090]

Yea they were high af thinking anyone wanted pan that bad 😂

[@tannermielken1084]

The movie was actually really good! I loved how it was Gohan and piccolos story. I prefer hand drawn over cell shading for the film, but i got use to it as the movie progressed. Gamma I and 2 are actually pretty cool characters!

[@elimanator]

The Turles release was fire from premium Bandai. Just got mine and the way the did the shoulder pads should be copied across the board for saiyan armor characters. Shading and paint is top notch as well akin to the nappa release

[@thefuture269]

I wasn't too big on the Gammas at first but I absolutely loved them after watching the movie!

[@Bearsofthelaw]

I have no attachment to the Gamma's, but I really like the design. I was originally going to pass on these, but I am really tempted to pick them up now. Keep up the good work. Congrats on the 200K, very much deserved.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Thanks

[@ThatOneSpellcaster76]

I really like Gamma 2, he is just a fun guy to me.

[@FireBomberBassist]

The Gammas grow on you. I didnt care for their designs at first but when you see the movie it makes more sense.

[@thetrueholybob434]

factual

[@Robyn_iz_Here]

I do love the Gammas. I saw the ad for this movie and kinda hated their designs. I got like 20 minutes into the movie and fell in live with them

[@TurtleCraftZ1]

Personally I don't think the ab-crunch and ankles are that big of an issue. The ab crunch is gappy, but he does come with a cape that could easily cover that up. As for the ankles, it's definitely inferior to a ball-hinge, but compared to some of the other figures in the line with barbell style ankles, the range on the Gammas is actually extremely good.

[@xeanheart]

The Gammas were easily the best part of the movie for me. Anyway, glad to see that Gamma 1 came out so good, which hopefully means Gamma 2 is great too. I've got the two pre-ordered and I can't wait to get them now. Also, man, Darwin is becoming way too strong!

[@FoxyBoxing1]

Loved the Gamma's especially Gamma 2. Them and Broly are the best characters to come out of Super.

[@miguelc2164]

Predatory practice since they mostly did face/head swap for gohan and the gammas are very similar in body so I don’t think they spent a lot of money on the mold

[@Jetblast01]

The only times this made sense was when in the Kinnikuman line Ramenman had Buffaloman's shoulder pad when they were a tag team and The Ninja having 2 chairs to reference when Buffaloman and other were on a team. The latter feels more of a course correction. They did the Warsman alt head and face mask in Neptuneman's release which he was unmasked more than in just that fight.

[@royal5922]

We need a collection tour of darwins head collection sometime and an omnibus of his adventures

[@theeyeofchaos222]

As for the question: Bandi has done that a lot in the past for their SHMA line. Small figures like Rodan came with a beam for Godzilla and another, damaged head for Mechagodzilla '93. Same happened for Little Godzilla and I'm fine with it. Now if its a major accessory for another character, than I get a little irritated. Especially if the figure is a repaint or "skittle". Like if I already have the figure but a new special color version comes with another figure's iconic accessory then that makes me a mad panda. A good example was the SDCC Kong. He came with accessories that the base figure should have come with. The flip side was that Kong had a new sculpt and had less QC issues than the first. There's kinda a saying in the Monsterarts community where the special color will be more "movie accurate" than the first release (Destroyah and King Gidorah '19 is prime examples). So it's kinda a FOMA on the first release, or wait for a possible repaint. Bandi wins either way, while the consumer has two of the same figures with minor differences or accessories. Theres a re-release for Mecha-King Gidorah coming out, with a somewhat wasteful replacement part, yet removes some accessories the previous version came with and double the price. It's not even a repaint, you just get a pair of "damaged" wings for $300. It's nice for those that didn't get the original back in the day, but you can probably track down the OG for the same price.

[@penyfulberb]

Congrats on 200k, I’ve been around since 2015

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Thanks a bunch

[@tamashi5066]

They dropped the pre orders for the Gammas before the movie came out so I think they wanted to include Gohan parts to sell the gammas if no one liked them.

[@Jas-1119]

Question of the Day 1: I’m not a fan of this practice, it’s nice. I acknowledge that it has its perks. I have begrudgingly bought a majority of this line for all the parts of this Gohan. I didn’t want to buy another Broly or Pan. I imagine IF they make him the real big bad of the movie is going to be massive and will come with more parts for other figures. I typically pick up figures I want, but with some of these it’s either that or miss out and pay ridiculous prices later on the secondary market for a Gohan that easily could’ve benefited from a few more accessories. Question of the Day 2: I’m a fan of them, I wasn’t at first but them being in a game I play and just the more I see these figures I definitely like them. I’m a fan of player color number 2 Gamma. Also congrats on the 200k!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Thanks a lot

[@bluevegito-6979]

I think the dlc accessories work really well, they should’ve done it for the goku Vegeta and regular piccolo as well so we wouldn’t have to pay a large amount of money for beast gohan

[@ieatricemc14]

THATS WHY IT WAS MARKED UP ON BIG BAD TOYSTORE!? THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! I thought they got it at wholesale pricing

[@pengunoah]

congrats on 200k man!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Thanks!

[@burgos809]

I bought the gamas for the gohan parts but after watching the movie couldnt have been more happy to add them to my collection they are very likable in the movie

[@justicemagnum5242]

I honestly find it strange whenever I see the Dragon Ball figuarts line still relying on older/inferior tech like the ball hinge connection for the neck to head and the ball jointed ankles for some of the characters when the Kamen Rider line has phased this stuff out entirely since 2014 in favor of generally better working and looking joints (with the exception of a few characters/forms that were on older molds around the same time).

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Agreed

[@hannahsaphire7643]

Very cool looking figure! I really like the crossed arms effect. You rock Anthony ❤❤❤

[@Goobious_Maximus]

Anthony you haven’t seen Super Hero yet?! It’s so goooooood! And you’re sure to like the Gammas much more after watching!

[@angelblue1527]

I thought he was a regular Figuart, I'm so upset I didn't know he was a premium!!

[@SMBShippuden4]

I wish they just gave us an option to buy the gohan accessories separate from the figure. saves money and I probably would only get gohan and piccolo from the movie. Wasn't super interested in getting the gammas beyond the alternate heads.

[@rasheedsanders1067]

I snagged Gamma 2 off P-Bandai because I really wanted the cape and glasses for Gohan but missed out on Gamma 1. Luckily I liked the character enough that paying the mark up price isn't too much of a sting.

[@Marmosetman_]

I wasn't bothered in the Gammas either. Watched the movie and couldn't wait for these figures. They're great characters in the movie and I think they'll pose awesome on a shelf!

[@adonismimon9124]

I wish we’d get the super saiyan hair with Gohan cause I haven’t seen the movie. This look for him can fit into a Buu saga display as well…

[@Kamina1492]

I liked the gammas more than I expected, still not enough to pay PB prices. I'll probably buy the dragon stars versions and wait for a demoniacal fit accessory pack for gohan

[@twelvevirus9479]

I think we need a super hero movie review when you watch it

[@freddyellis22]

I gotta say. I'm just now getting serious about collecting some of the dragon ball sh figuarts stuff and this super Saiyan Gohan head is the only one that I think they nailed as far as coloring. All the others ones are always way too yellow or transparent 4:40

[@Ledluver]

Gammas are pretty sick, they have like a classic bro dynamic. I recommend the movie, especially if you're a piccolo and animation fan too 👍

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

I agree with the accessories considering they've done this before with Krillin and A18 which wasn't too controversial, it's the premium part that I have gripes plus how pretty much every Super Hero figure is getting something related to that one Gohan figure. As for the Gammas, I like Gamma 2 and indifferent about Gamma 1 so only getting 2.

[@opinionmaker464]

congrats homie i like the review cause they are honest no matter how cut throat i like it

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Glad you like 'em

[@dr3nch_g0d52]

Does this come with the gohan cape

[@Jacky_Raider]

Besides Piccolo the Gammas were the biggest Suprise of the movie, I really enjoyed them especially gamma 2

[@Slaheir]

The Gammas are really great and have a ton of personality! Def recommend checking out the movie

[@TheCobraReport]

I so hope you got the P bandai Turlis (Tulece) figure, once I opened it I thought of how disappointed you have, and rightfully so, been with the recent P-bandai figures. I love this one. The gamma seem like good figures but for me the characters are kind of movie one offs and not worth the cost, but just my 2 cents

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Just waiting for them to ship

[@Preciousroy8383]

G1 and G2 are pretty awesome for movie characters

[@J_M_V_0164]

Nice

[@SuperAllelujah]

I love my Gohan build a figure, but it's a shame both Gammas are premiums since I liked them in the movie and I wanted to buy them. I did end up getting both Gammas before the price hike.

[@toodlesX14]

I think the Gammas are both excellent additions to the cast, they have cool personalities and excellent designs that translate super well to figures. They look so dynamic in any pose. As for the Gohan accessories, I don't think it's the worst thing ever, since Gohan was only 35$, the other stuff is bonus. Gohan is a Super Saiyan for all of like 4 minutes in the movie, so a SS head is not a must-have, just a cool extra. Same with the cape and the base head (which looks so good btw). If Gohan was $60 and all his accessories came with other figures, that would be a different story. Also you should check out SuperHero when you get the chance, it's Dragon Ball at its best imo.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Waiting for a dub

[@SSJFutureGohan62093]

@@AnthonysCustoms It was dubbed in theaters, at least near me, they had both sub and dub.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Oh. Cool

[@jaguarnero]

I’d really rather they just make “deluxe edition” figures where it comes with two or three times the number of accessories and be done with it. I really liked the Gammas but if I wanted every Gohan accessory, I’m already looking at at least five or six purchases and I think that’s too much. If they’re going to be premium figures anyway, I’d rather have a better paint job with more accessories for the figure I’m buying in that single purchase … in other words, I don’t like it when side characters get more sidelined in the merchandise side of things. If it’s an $80 figure, make it wholly worth that purchase to me

[@SauronIH]

Problem was these preorders were done before i ever got the chance to experience the movie so i didnt know how much id actually like them😮‍💨

[@ritsubo3879]

I live in Spain (a country with no relationship with Japan, meaning I can't acces Premium Bandai) and a large number of local stores all over the country have this figures in stock/ preorder. So I don't know if it only happens in the USA, but BBTS is really ripping you off, charging 100+ dollars for the gammas is ridiculous. If you judge them as 100+ dollars figures, you are simply mistaken, because you are being charged more than twice the original price for no reason.

[@seudoquia3558]

Dragonball Super: Super Hero is the movie Piccolo fans have waited 30 years for; you'll enjoy it.

[@ChesapeakeRipper]

the pieces coming w/ the gammas isnt a problem its not making the gammas a regular release is whats the killer since once they are gone off preorder good luck picking em up for close to retail. I had to skip the gammas so now Im waiting for the dragon stars ones so i can have em in my collection

[@ProjectC28Channel]

🤣 Darwins a SAVAGE bro. Hes a killa 😤

[@medranodiego8641]

I like the Gammas, especially Gamma 2 since he is the funny one.

[@TheMattTrakker]

I know little to nothing about DBZ and 0 about this thing, but I thought it looked kinda cool.

[@mrdude88]

I wish no one get any of these Gohan heads since everyone loves complaining about them. Gohan should only come with 2 heads and 2 heads only and we should not get another Gohan for the next 5-6 years. The lack of Goku and Vegeta figures during this wave is horrible.

[@jmh2035]

Did you pre-order the beast Gohan?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Yes

[@royal5922]

I'm in the minority but I honestly dont mind other figures coming with bonus parts if they aren't essential face/heads for the character. If it makes the figure cost less and its a cool bonus for people that buy the other less popular ones. The gohan parts that comes with gamma 2 and pan are good bonuses because most people probably dont want/need them and they would have increased the price but the super saiyan head shouldn't have been with a separate figure. I dont like the premium priced figures not looking very premium and I haven't watched the movie yet so idk if i like/dislike the gammas.

[@ludwigvanbubthoven5692]

I know next to nothing about the Dragon Ball, but I bought a Broly, a Jiren, and a Super Buu because I saw them reviewed on here.

It’s horrible that they’re doing this with the accessories, and I hate that I’m supporting it. I just want my gohan and all his extra parts. Unfortunately I have to pay an extra $150 this time around for 2 heads and a cape. I don’t really want the gammas. It’ll be nice to have them I guess, but I didn’t see the movie and I wouldn’t be getting the gammas if not for the gohan parts

[@SMBShippuden4]

same

[@kunonabi]

No interest in the gammas but I bought them for accessories. I'm more pissed about broly because I'm not paying that much for a single hair part.

[@lcrawfo2]

I wish they would have just bumped the price for Gohan to include the accessories instead of forcing you to buy not 1, but 2 other figures to get a complete Gohan. I don't mind the Gammas, but I think the design is boring and honestly there's nothing about them that makes me want to buy them aside from the Gohan accessories. Shitty move Bandai. Nice detail of having Gohan lose his SS form once he was knocked out by Darwin 🤣

[@SauronIH]

Jesus christ why did they have to go so hard on the articulation for these out of all figures

[@Zapdos536]

I wish someone would just sell me the cape and super saiyan for gohan from gamma 2 so I don’t have to pay a fortune

[@SriMJ54]

Predatory af, and I skipped the gammas. A complete 180 from what Bandai did amazingly right with SHF Saiyaman; 4 different heads in one figure! Anyway, I would’ve taken an accessory pack for $40 or so, or would’ve gladly paid more for the Ultimate Gohan if he came with SS head, and slightly more for Beast Gohan if he came with the cape plus glasses head. I didn’t care for the Gammas before watching the movie. I think they’re all right after the movie, but not impressed enough to get expensive action figures of them. They are extremely basic character designs like most Super characters. If they looked impressive like Final form Janemba, Tapion, Broly, Turles, Super Android 13, or Cooler, I would’ve pick them up just for shelf presence.

[@christinasantana8214]

Hey man are you not doing custom figures anymore

[@AnthonysCustoms]

im developing a whole line of figures and sell custom parts

[@zyonbutero5875]

These are $60+ figures. They shouldn't be doing what amounts to a BAF imo.

[@wsugj]

I hadn't seen the movie, so I don't care about the Gammas. I thought it was a bad move to put Gohan's extras with the Gamma figures. Gohan's extras should of been sold with Gohan. The price would of been $100, but that would of been better than spending money on 2 Gammas at $70 each (from P.Bandia at the time) and having figures you don't want. The Gammas are more expensive now and are really not worth it just for Gohan's extras. The collector better love the Gammas at it's now price.

[@ralphyfirebird4662]

I really like the Gammas. These are two that must be bought together as they do compliment each other. I especially love the way the capes can be posed with the hinge. It's such a cool feature and design. IMO, no reason why other companies can't do it either. That being said, I totally get that this is a cash grab with the Gohan accessories. Definitely a bummer. The torso gaps are not cool.

[@jcam320]

I hate their goofy designs. They knew no one wanted to buy them so that’s why they have gohan dlc. Still waiting for kid buu and Janemba so I can finally kiss this line goodbye

[@Jvm-iq2qe]

They were pretty boring. Was hoping they were going to be interesting characters like all the other androids from z, hell even majin 21 was a bit interesting, but these guys ended up being very dull and their designs don’t help either. They had pretty bland personalities too. Nothing stand out ish about them and so I’m very bummed out that the gohan stuff were packaged with them.

[@ajinzer0]

they remind me of the dragon stars- they look so cheap. anyone else agree??
