S.H. Figuarts TAO PAI PAI (General Tao) Dragon Ball Action Figure Review

[@intotheversetoys2345]

As a big fan of the original dragon ball series I feel this is a great addition to the line and a very important one too. I'm so glad they took the time to do him well.

[@crazyhorsed.n.a5472]

The man who would assassinate a toddler for a modest sum , Is finally an action figure

[@razkable]

badass

[@jarosbodytko6462]

I’ve always loved Dragonball more than DBZ so everytime I see a Dragonball release it makes me giddy.

[@Code_orange22]

I hope we get a tambourine figure

[@AndreasCowboy-ws2qh]

you like db more then dbz!??? you are crazy ser!!!

[@raidenkeify]

Need bardock but yeah he's a fun character very over the top

[@Jetblast01]

@Vajrawielder Even with the new Broly movie and Dragonball Minus "canon" still no Bardock...

[@omegamaximus1727]

I recently watched Dragon Ball on watch cartoon online, and I love the fight between Goku and Tao.

It's not a piece of chalk Anthony! If you actually read the manga, you would know that it's a giant vienna sausage!! Jeez!!!

[@LuckyFox07]

High five for name dropping Turles. I never even thought of him for the SHF line. That'd be sweet.

[@Phil1Up_Collects]

And your dream came true 2 years later congratulations 👏

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

When Anthony started calling chalk to the pole and had him ride it with his legs open I thought "Ppl are going to start going crazy mad even before Anthony explains he knows it's a pole and that he is supposed to ride it standing strait." and when he sneezed I though "Ok now this is going to get on fire in the comments." but it seems ppl either watched the full review and edited their comments after they watched or they are getting a bit smarter. Thanks for the review Anthony.

[@eligamerman]

He's honestly one of my favorite Dragon Ball villains

[@raidwlmoontero6985]

Why do I see you every where

[@eligamerman]

@@raidwlmoontero6985 I like to get around

[@Aock212]

Always watched your reviews because your literally one of the very few who doesn't give no figure any slack.. if its slightly off by whatever it will be mentioned! great review man!

[@dubyaw9511]

They now need to release a General Blue figure so the tongue thing would make sense

[@GungraveFreak]

Definitely down for Figuarts doing more OG Dragon Ball characters; General Blue, Pilaf Gang, Grandpa Gohan, etc

[@pgww_pnkmlks]

He appeared in DBZ. In cell saga in particular

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Yes. Briefly.

[@kevsil616]

Would've been nice if they included an extra head to depict that version, but if they do decide to do it he'll probably wind up being an exclusive

[@whitestriderable]

Not in the manga.

[@kevsil616]

@@whitestriderable and we did get Cyborg Tao in the Dragon Ball Manga durning the Piccolo Jr arc

[@Purojam]

I ordered Bigbadtoys and while waiting for delivery I was regretting buying but once I opened I was surprised how good he is. He is for me as close to anime as Super Buu.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Pretty much. Quality for sure.

[@jackthegreek6092]

Tao PaiPai is awesome. Besides Dragon Ball>Dragon Ball Z.

[@taco104]

you’re a goat man j just ordered this figure and i am SO EXITED

[@AnthonysCustoms]

enjoy

[@semillitadejitomate]

Just ordered mine. I should get in on Wednesday. I’ve been looking for this figure for a while. Tao Pai Pai is my favorite bad guy from DB.

[@IOsTower]

He was a great turning point in tone for og DB I can’t wait for mine to arrive to pose him with kid Goku

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

Glad to hear he's good, easily one of my favourite characters from Dragon Ball so he's a must get

[@razkable]

people don't get it... back in the 80's when he arrived on the scene it was a true shock that he beat goku at his best..no excuses....it felt like goku was 2nd best on earth at the time and tao reset the power scaling and danger of the series...we knew master was stronger cause he was hyped up but we thought he was a special case as goku's trainer he has to be better ...goku going out to learn from life was more dangerous cause there are fighters better than him which we did not expect since we thought the best of the best were at the tenkaichi budokai ...him beating goku is one of the most shocking moments in the series...his dodonpa comes out of nowhere..

Why?

The First Villian that Overpowered Goku.

[@wsugj]

I got my figure yesterday. Its great. I'm loving the Dragon Ball figures. Jackie Chun in a few months and then Chi Chi. Can't wait.

[@shawnyboi7008]

Yeah I cant wait either. In addition to Chun and chi chi, Ginyu and kai o ken and ultra instinct goku. Not to mention ape vegeta, oh I cant wait.

[@magneticmonster1365]

This is pretty much perfect because I wanted a dragon ball figure of someone who looks weak but is really strong

[@agentzurg3592]

Tao did make an appearance in the post Namek part of android saga in He in his Cyborg form try to citizens before being defeated by the Z fighters remember.

[@VictorFactor94]

Man I love this character

[@donmachete8486]

add this to the playlist my guy

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

Anthony...when you sneezed...you...you _didn't wash your hands!_ Nice video, thanks. Always interesting to see a review of a figure that you really like.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

No need to wash your hands if you just lick them clean.

[@Mentocthemindtaker]

@@AnthonysCustoms My four-year-old thinks that too! But hey man, whatever works!

[@armandogonzalez8636]

is there a reason why sometimes figures are glossy? is it just paint or the plastic theyre using?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

plastic/molds usually. of course, paint can be but it's usually intentional.

[@gannondollins]

tao is one of Goku's biggest adversaries for some of you who don't know. He killed a dude with his tongue.

[@ferb8021]

That opening pose! I'm more fan of the MCU than Dragon Ball. But when it comes to shf, I like DB much more, they put much more care in doing this line. Tao is a great example, I like him more as a figure than the shf endgame Captain America (and Cap is my fav character of all time)

[@kivaHBRO_04]

7:31 oh I wonder if Turles is gonna come

[@cosmicspidermanx9569]

If they're never gonna do GT figures then I would like the other forms of frieza at some point. And would it kill em to do a another krillin, 18, and 17 release for Z not super

[@ekwrestling]

cosmic spidermanx exactly!!! I think they’ll eventually do a few from GT if they run out of other ideas

[@cosmicspidermanx9569]

@@ekwrestling I've been hoping for a long time, ever since the first SS4 prototype.

[@ekwrestling]

cosmic spidermanx they love to keep us waiting. We still haven’t gotten a Bardock or Raditz yet. I have no idea why they haven’t given us these characters yet, but I know they will eventually

[@friendlyneighborhoodcollec5928]

I was gonna pass on him, but I think your review has changed my mind. He looks great.

[@gemininosaga]

Anthony you didn’t have any problems with the soles for the pillar? I saw a review where they flew out of his feet every time the guy put them on.

[@breakfastandstuff2383]

This is about as early I’ll ever be to an Anthony video. Ah well, good enough. Good review!

[@godisgreat8462]

Good old dragon ball z character. I moved to Japan back in 1987 the year before dragon ball started. Awesome awesome

[@braveng7909]

The braid on mine was only rotating and because you said it had a ball hinge I tried forcing it thinking it was just stiff and it snapped right off. Hope I can fix it with some crazy glue just sucks how it happened like 5 minutes after I opened it

[@ekwrestling]

Great review! I’m super excited to scoop this one up now!

[@collegerebel]

He looks like Betty from Kung Pow! Enter the Fist!

[@dannyflysaround5413]

To be fair he did appear in filler in the cell saga

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Yeah

[@leehyunsong7001]

I will kick anyone who claim as dragonball fans but dont know taopaipai

[@kirisuna19]

This figure is like almost $200 in Australia at EB Games!!! I won't get it but it's nice!!

[@tubbymontana7090]

I don’t care about the character at all but damn I love the dragon ball design and this man looks like any generic Asian action flick bad guy so I might just pick him up for that

[@austinalbright2051]

Anthony would you say you like this guys double jointed knees look better than the ones we’ve been getting?

[@russellsworld3229]

Awesome review but one question? Where do u put all your toys after your reviews I'm planning on starting some collections custom shf, mafex , and revoltech with a little bit of Marvel legends.

I love your videos but I really think you should actually show the accessories more. Like how does the chalk work?? No idea cause you didn't show us. Please do this!!

[@ziggyreaburn6726]

But I thought the "if you didn't like it that's too bad you already watched it was hilarious

[@AnthonysCustoms]

If you watch the whole video you see how it works.

uh he is from Dragon Ball Z especially in the Cell saga but i guess u can argue its a different variant

Penyfulberb he’s not in dbz for very long. He’s a Dragonball character.

[@vixieboo_]

Uhm that's filler I'm pretty sure

[@Jetblast01]

No Dodon Ray...No hand grenade...pass. I can least understand skimping the Dark Nimbus and the cyborg parts, but missing out on an accessory that'd work for also Tien's figure (given the relation) and his ace trick just nah.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

The pillar was more important, i guess. Can't have everything every time.

[@whichever-godyou-prefer1640]

I'm surprised they are still making and shipping them out ... Given the current state of things in the world.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Especially since this virus has not even come remotely close to the levels of the flu we deal with every year.

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

@@AnthonysCustoms I get what you're saying, I though the same at first but then I thought a bit more about it and this virus isn't as disseminated as the normal flu so you can't compare both, if covid-19 was as desseminated as the common flu, a lot and I mean a loooot more ppl would have died from it already and a lot faster too. At the same time without this alarm and without even knowing a new virus existed ppl would probably think that the common flew had killed 3 or 4 times as much as it did last year and would get over it fast.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Except it isn't and we don't even have vaccines and it still isn't... Especially in the USA. It virtually doesn't exist. 5 times as many people died from H1N1 before the news even mentioned it. For this one, people are panicking over nothing. 2x as many people die from falling out of bed...

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

Let's not start a big discussion about the corona virus, speculation is worth very little when talking about something as this, specially when the opinions are being expressed by a bunch of microbiology amateurs (me included), I hope for the better and I believe we all do... peace!!!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

That supports what I'm saying even more. And H1N1 was just the beginning too. In the beginning, the numbers are worse then reality because only the bad cases get tested so it's a disproportionate number of positives statistically speaking. Do your own research. Don't just listen to the media who make money by scaring everyone enough to sell out of toilet paper. The fact we're even talking about it supports what I'm saying. There's no report of shipping goods causing any spread at all. It can't live in cardboard very long at all and even plastic is only like 3 days at most. Shipping isn't a threat.
