S.H. Figuarts ORANGE PICCOLO Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Action Figure Review

[@FREKKI]

When pickles go bad they start to turn orange and swell up. This figure is accurate.

[@daviid_ee]

I am not gonna lie, at first, I thought he looked silly with that color and the handsome-Squidward face they gave him. That said, his look eventually grew on me and I came to really love it. I feel they had to do something radical to illustrate his power-up since he doesn't have hair that can change color and turn spiky.

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

Still ironic they ended up changing his skin tone twice.

[@AGuyNamedIan]

I didn't like orange piccolo at first, but after seeing him in both the movie and manga I got used to it and grew to love the form over time. Pretty cool for piccolo's first legitimate form outside of turning giant! I'd recommend checking out the movie if you want what's basically a Piccolo movie.

[@Laekith]

The orange looks awesome with the fiery aura and the rest of the color scheme, especially the red eyes.

[@wardo8150]

The orange color grows on you. Especially after seeing it in motion. I like it

[@N7gamer1337]

It’s awesome how after all this time, piccolo got a new form that puts him in the big leagues again

[@beckmania1066]

Fun fact, the symbol on Thiccolo’s back represents the Namekian ajisa tree.

[@seudoquia3558]

Watch the movie; it's fun. Namekians are the ones that create dragonballs, so that's a hint as to why Piccolo is orange and has a namekian tree on his back.

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

Same with you, since God Goku it feels like they decided they need to change colour of Saiyan's hair and now Piccolo's skin outside of Future Trunks. It has grown on me more than Beast Gohan especially due to change of his bulk and musculature setting him apart otherwise but like you said a darker green and face structure more similar to Demon King Piccolo would've worked for me. I was expecting his articulation to be relatively bad but sucks how bad this one was. Still aesthetically he looks great that im still getting him.

[@GungraveFreak]

Damn, Thiccolo out here with his whole ass Namekititties out 😭

[@elimanator]

Honestly I dig the form, Is orange the ideal color? no maybe not although its hard to imagine what color would work better. In my opinion though the color change for the form was an absolute must, If he was just more muscular I don't think it would have gotten across the fact that this is truly a super saiyan like transformation for him and not just him growing in size like warrior namekians can do and. I love piccolo so I am super happy to see him become relevant.

[@sethquigley5136]

As someone who saw the movie I can say that the shirt should actually have the ab crunch and he should have had a stretchy arm accessory. At least one stretched arm with like the Frieza tail hinges.

[@Clu333]

If I remember it correctly, the orange and the new power is a little gift from the dragon

[@MuShinnen]

I'd have preferred a darker green. It would have been a nice parallel with how Lord Slug looked.

[@Scurwesyn]

Question of the day: Piccolo is finally become stronger, remember he's still like namekian teenager, I'm very happy with his new powerup. And I'm even more happy in the movie he remembered he has growing up power!

[@medranodiego8641]

Finally a Piccolo with big shoulders.

[@apersonwhoexists3383]

I absolutely love his deisgn, i think the colors look great, and lal the other setails look great like him getting bulked up, getting a new gi with the symbol of Namekian pride, it all just looks great.

[@ayan31_08]

Baby don't hurt me - Gigachad Thiccolo😂😂

[@lb_collector]

I like the transformation overall. I feel like they had to do the colour change since it's like a "super saiyan" type thing, so they had to do more than just beef him up. I do think it lacks contrast compared to the OG, but I still like it. It blends well.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Changing his spots color would've been sufficient. It's not like Goku goes from one skin color to another.

[@jetblack4445]

Goku is a saiyan which is closer to human in appearance. Piccolo is a lizard like creature who can regenerate his limbs and apparently change colors is how I justify the change in skin tone. Also he is orange like the dragon balls. I was tired of seeing piccolo and the others fighters fall so far behind Goku and Vegeta. They started to feel like extras in the background. For heaven's sake Piccolo was a baby sitter for the past 15 years and was one season away from being the new Yamcha. Do I Like the color, meh, but the transformers was needed to bring him back as a legitimate character.

[@jvo6ixgod269]

@@AnthonysCustoms goku also has hair lol

[@timothyblackburn82]

​@AnthonysCustoms I mean, Namekians are more or less big alien slug-men, so having his skin change color is fine really. I can see how the orange clashes against the purple, making it off putting, but I don't know what other color would have worked or made sense even. Maybe they should've just had him wearing a new color outfit for the movie? All black would've looked cool maybe? Like so manynithers, I'm just thrilled Piccolo is getting a relevance booster!

[@TamerChris]

I agree that changing his color to give him a new form seems gimmicky. From Guru to Kami and King Piccolo, the Namekians we know have all been green. He has fused several times but never change color, but since Dragon Ball Super has been obsessed with colour forms, power ups get red, blue, white, black, gold, orange... yeah, you get the idea. All these just to push merchandise sales. I like the bulkiness. Though I still think his look with the cape and turban look more badass.

[@Saiyan1229]

Oh whale. Makes for some cool figures

[@breenun855]

I think for his size the articulation is good enough,he's a big and buff guy,could be a little better but nothing too crazy,even in the movie he's doesnt seem to be a super flexible guy,so to me he's great,9/10

[@lazergator1016]

I really like this since Piccolo deserves more credit and new forms also you gotta watch Superhero you'll enjoy the form more, piccolo gets technically 2 forms first his Green becomes a yellowish Green then 2nd his Orange Form

[@ImCptnAwesome]

I like that they finally gave Piccolo a transformation, but I don't like how the transformation's head looks, and I would've preferred him to stay green. Basically, just a buffer version would have been nice. I'm not completely opposed to a different look for him, I just think they can do better than this.

[@benjaminclemann2427]

I thought that the orange was clever. Have you ever seen an over-ripe cucumber?

[@AlphaProto]

I saw the movie late, but did stubble across this design on accident. The article was in Japanese, so I had no idea it was supposed to be Piccolo. I think the theme behind the yellow and gold colors like super saiyans and this orange form is to look like energy is coursing through them making them glow. Color changes are the easiest visual sign something is different. It is also more toyetic. If the transformations look too much alike, there is no reason to get the other. The SSJ to SSJ 2 problem.

[@Saiyan1229]

Agreed. A super swole green piccolo wouldnt have been as intriguing

[@DragonRoyZ]

For large feet, I think they should make it flexi plastic for more range

[@medranodiego8641]

At the beginning i didn't like the orange either but i have to admit that it grew on me with the pass of time, to the point that now it's my favorite look for Piccolo.

[@lb_collector]

I never heard Thiccollo before and I dig it.

[@babystephena3773]

The torso engineering design is really a set back. What’s worse is they are rolling it out to other figures. Looks like their new Trafalgar Law will also be having this issue.

[@Top33-r1z]

The color of the arms look off. But the chunkyness is awesome.

[@dankerbell]

i like that they did more than just change his colour for this form by making him bigger and changing his face, just hope he decides on a better name later

[@That-KidDo]

Orange Piccolo seems like a name piccolo would come up with, he’s not very creative.

[@toodlesX14]

Love love love this transformation for Piccolo. I love that he got a power-up in general, and I think it looks incredibly cool. This is my most anticipated DB figure in a long time, though I'm not a fan of the rubber gi for him. It's too gappy around the sleeves, Gohan's gi at least looked solid once you had him posed.

[@adimonsstudio2547]

I love his new powerup. The orange colour works for me. I think you just got a bad copy, my Piccolo's legs are all tight and working well.

[@optronixatron]

The orange used doesn't really work, but he'd look too much like Lord Slug if they stuck with green. I think a deeper green or more redish orange would work, as if to indicate he's more ripe. That being said, I do like that he's more muscular.

[@kaienjin5468]

I love the orange form. It’s always nice to know that Piccolo has this power up now. Although the different shades of orange for his arms is odd, but it’s not unwelcome.

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

I normally don't care about DBZ or their Figures. This one however, I could definitely use him as an Alien! In fact, he looks like a Durlan, think Chameleon Boy from the Legion of Super Heroes.

[@tilmonr]

It's funny how some of these hasbro fan boys who mention Anthony about being tough on a multimillion dollar company like hasrbro are quite when he's equally tough on bandai and neca. The later two companies do produce better figures over hasbro's marvel legends team, but they aren't flawless.

[@ChiefPeep]

He looks good. I do wish they made the bigger characters a bit bigger

[@MRKILLERKOALA1996]

Was pretty neutral about the colors on this design, but after the movie it made sense and made it pretty dope.

[@Saiyan1229]

I loooove this figure so much. Especially with loving the form. Definitely in my top 10 this year. My only gripe is that i wish the gi was a darker purple color and the orange on the arms was more close to a red orange. Thats the colors depicted in the movie and promo art for the form

[@sharingansasuke5]

Dragon ball super just gives all the transformations the crayola treatment

[@RoleKeeper]

I got it because I wanted a swoll Namekian, so I'm happy. I havent seen the movie I just think he looks cool.

[@tidywire423]

He's orange because of his connection to the dragonballs; which is how he got the transformation at all. I like it a lot.

[@KidultNPlay]

It was way overdue for him to get a power upgrade! Piccolo was always that guy handling shite! Huge fan of the orange look too! At first it was weird but it grew on me. Also, I will forever be calling him Thiccolo from here on end! 🤣

[@nhyar]

I don't really care about this form of Piccolo but I don't understand why did they make it orange... whatever, we all know most Dragon Ball characters just change colors as an excuse to sell more toys, lol. I kinda like the way these new torsos look but I hope they can adjust them a bit. It's also a good way to avoid the sloppy paintjob the Trunks figure had.

[@Tysonguptill]

Manga is kinda implying that this is piccolo with god ki so this is like a super namekian god

[@JacM78]

Bandai have been killing it with the faces, especially with the new kid goku. Just bought him today and the face sculpts are fantastic.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

If you happen to go back there and want to grab one for me, I'm always at the ready with PayPal. It would be much appreciated.

[@royal5922]

I like golden thiccolo. The colors aren't super cool looking but its nice seeing piccolo get an upgrade.

[@treyvonishere4375]

If you’re careful about this, you can pull each antennae out and readjust them with some glue so they’ll be more flush. I had to do that with both recent piccolos.

[@Johnson951theviewer]

Thiccolo! Can't unhear it lol. I like the Idea of the transformation, as far as colors it makes sense if you think of a plants life cycle so it's grown on me. See what I did there?

[@BCC-cc8lz]

My dude been hitting the gym

[@axel.1358]

I like the color scheme because if they made him this big and still green then it'd look too much like Hulk...bat least, just imagining it in my own head it would. I like the orange, it's different and fresh!

[@dblegends3523]

Been waiting for this one 👍

[@ChaoticDarkness1]

I don't like Super but he looks cool. I approve of Giga Chad Piccolo

[@lygonthereddragon]

not sure how i feel about orang Piccolo. still figuring out. same for the figure.

[@shahlegno5890]

I love this color form change..since piccolo not have hair to show the color changing.

[@_can_i_even_draw_2927]

Big fan of the look, colors as well

[@DesignIncase]

It's a shame how they seem to make larger characters so much like statues when they don't have to. That's kinda what this guy is. It's why I don't like buying Premium Bandai exclusives when no reviewer will get hands on it for a year. Orange Piccolo Piccolo looking more muscular isn't really new. We've seen it countless times. Namekians enlarging themselves to be giants and simply having bulkier namekians as well. A more physical transformation was needed. Given how golden aura's and skin has been established with Saiyans and whatever Frieza is. I think stylistically it makes sense that a new genuine transformation actually be more drastic. Arguing he's never done this before.......well Goku never did the whole gold hair thing before he transformed in DBZ. But does it actually look good to me? I think it does, but I wish wish we had seen it with DBS Broly animation. Switching to the video game style animation was a step back to me.

[@FireBomberBassist]

I hated it at first, it grew on me though. I think itd look better in teal or something.

[@SuperAllelujah]

The new Thiccolo/Chadccolo movie is really good.

[@spoogtastic]

I love orange piccolo. The design, even the kinda bs way he gets it from shenron, as a little namkien kinda thank you to him and kami. Mmm great movie too. I don't mind the kinda crappy articulation because he's bigger and won't be going ham in poses (at least for me).

[@graefx]

I haven't seen the movie yet and I'm kinda ambivalent to the look. There's enough history with color change in DBZ transformations that I buy it. The naming conventions suck though. Blue, Gold, Orange. I think the hair is silly but at least Beast Gohan sounds cool. But Thiccolo is great.

[@ryantheanimator1156]

I honestly got hyped the moment he turned into a Kaiju Orane Piccolo in the movie.

[@Hilltopperpete]

Anthony, you had mentioned in comments you had difficulty finding Furay Planet's recent offerings. I just picked up Blade Master Weng last night for $86.99 shipped (including $3 off welcome coupon and taxes) from Gundamit. Apparently the figure is made to pop apart at the waist ball joint to remove the belt/skirt piece to allow a different configuration using the super articulated bottom half that is otherwise occluded You can also preorder Weng at BBTS and now Veteran William is back in stock as well.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I preordered the tiger reissue

[@minipaintermatt]

Enjoyed seeing it during the film but now I’ve had more time to see it I’m not a fan of piccolo being orange and yellow

[@dogelord673]

Thats crazy bro. I love Orange piccolo, the colors suit him so well, the transformation was so cool, and I can never decide if I like beast or him more. Watch the movie, it'll probably change your opinion.

[@stlancaandsonstoys3123]

Awesome video Anthony and yea not a fan of the new mid section either really hinders the posing

[@KevinLam86]

I'm a DBZ purist. All the new forms in Super doesn't do anything for me.

[@JayDayX116]

Personally. I actually like this design. But im not big on the choice of this orange color. I like it more thsn beast gohan.

[@funnywackysillyman7780]

I like it, same color scheme as the dragon balls

[@en6853]

I very much love orange piccolo. The movie was great man, you gotta see it

[@Hueyfreeman95]

I ordered these through PBANDAI and I still haven’t gotten it🤦🏻‍♂️ This is definitely my most anticipated figure of the year!

[@enderrandoom3180]

I think they should have named the transformation "Demon Piccolo" or "Dragon Piccolo" the first one referencing his demon king piccolo phase and the latter referencing obviously the dragon balks cause they're orange🟠

[@enderrandoom3180]

That's what I would have named the transformation, anything will sound better than "Orange Piccolo"

[@legend98ish]

You should watch the movie tbh. At first I didn’t like it but after giving it some time it was a fun movie.

[@wordage1216]

Yo anthony been watching you for 10 years love every minute Would love to see a personal top 10 from you

[@KameHouse23]

I hate the orange piccolo name. Should have just called it a super namek transformation. Thats just me I know it was teased by krillin when he fused with Kami but he wasn’t really a super namek. And I know their giant form is considered super namek. But THIS IS TRUE SUPER NAMEK. Very cool form but just “orange piccolo”… really.

[@Bender1988s]

i use figurise piccolo with sh figures-he has the right height to him.(if Goku is 180cm, Vegeta 170cm, Piccolo is like 210/220cm) and this this is not piccolo orange this is piccolo curcuma style-If you do any jarred piccles You know what I mean hehe,great review, have a good weekend/ps-the lack of those details,lines on arms is bad-design wise.

[@demonslayer9772]

@4:44 - *head came off completely* but let's talk about the boots. I dislike the color but it didn't surprise me at all cuz it is Dragon Ball Color Heroes after all. Maybe blue would've been a better choice so they can say Piccolo manages to tap into God ki and became Super Piccolo God Super Namikian. 😂

[@mats_hat]

Never heard ticcolo only but now I will ONLY refer his new form as Thiccolo

[@AnthonysCustoms]

You're welcome

[@zannusx]

I would rather just have the segmented torso. This really doesn't look any better, you still have segments and lose articulation.

[@nora-yc6fi]

I do like this form, probably my favorite form the super era has introduced tbh My only grip is the name, it's lazy and just melds right in with the dbs name scheme of color + character = form name which I dislike (blame dbs frieza for my distaste of this naming scheme) The orange and red matching with the dragon balls is why I like it so much Maybe... Dragon Piccolo? I woulda took Super Piccolo

[@themacewens]

Dragon Piccolo would've been better but I disagree with Super Piccolo on the sole basis that since once you start thinking on how much that prefix is used in DB, you realize that they kinda went overboard with it. Super Saiyan(1 through 4, god, blue, Rose, Rage, LSSJ) Super Namekian, Super Garlic Jr., Super 13, Super Hatchiyack Super Perfect Cell, Super Jamemba, Super Buu, Super Baby Vegeta (1 and 2), Super 17, Super Yi Shenron (another name for Omega Shenron), Super Shenron, and Super Full Power Jiren. Maybe they could've used Omega instead as well since that isnt overdone yet

[@ImCptnAwesome]

Goku is officially 5'9 and Piccolo is officially 7'0 so the size difference is good.

[@DanB.0]

I see this and I feel it's another Namek, not seeing Piccolo here but it's cool he's that tall as a figure. Still wouldn't get this

[@solidwegy61]

The hip articulation should be like the Chainsaw Man figure they released. I bought it for my son and when we were handling it, we were amazed cause it was soft plastic, not a floating piece and granted him Spider-man levels of articulation!

[@medranodiego8641]

"Thiccolo" hahaha 😂😂😂, i love you Anthony.

[@augustoleyesmontiel7379]

They sacrifice articulation for aesthetics. Like Neca

[@kltoybox]

I am just super bias about piccolo and enjoy him a bunch. I agree he should be so limited in posing as it really defeats the purpose of then Theme. Over all I am very happy with mine and it came pretty buttery in the joints. Thank you for your reviews and content! It’s fun to watch and mess with the figure your talking about ❤

[@kunonabi]

I thought it looked awful in the movie, but I actually like how the figure looks.

[@ralphyfirebird4662]

I like it a lot but I just hate how forced his transformation was. If they really cared, his transformation should have taken place in the Super Saga when they were all fighting to save their Universe

[@AdamCraig-r6o]

Thank you so much Anthony, you just saved me a lot of money👍🏻

[@DomitriCervantes]

honestly. i hate both transformations from the movie, both feel lazy af, i kinda like the idea that piccolo´s transformation involved shenlong but i wished it was handled differently, and the gohan one is just plain stupid

[@AwwDaSea]

Dragon Ball Super Super Hero Super Piccolo

[@NZN5555]

You absolutely pointed all the disappointing things abt it, i love how u explained in details how bad of a figure it is compared to the price of course

[@victorflores2780]

I pre-ordered this way before i saw your review- once viewed i was like "Oh no..." lol. I like the figure - HATE the hard "clothing" that prevents posing. Why not sculpt to the body so he remains FULLY posable. Bad, bad decision. And yes, very loose (i still like him, but dont love him, and thats a shame. I think he looks great). Greeat review as always 👍

[@Goobious_Maximus]

Anthony pls just sit down and watch the movie. It’s been months! 😭😭

[@Mr.v]

before we get into the figure let's take a look at my package. that's what he said lol

[@Dauntem]

Damn wtf did they do with this one

[@devantelewis6774]

'Girkin'😂

[@abareamphibia6812]

I think this form is awesome, and I’m disappointed this figure has limited articulation cause I want this figure so bad, why must he be an exclusive

[@TOYBOY2023]

Oh Great Bro Nice Explain 👍👍👍
