S.H. Figuarts Son Gohan
[Battle Clothes Vers]
   - from Dragon Ball Z
   - by Bandai Spirits
One Day One Shot

Another entry in the Freeza Saga series of Figuarts - most of which was only sold on Premium Bandai, of course.

Gohan is such a great figure. It fixes some of the proportion issues the first (Saiyan Saga) Gohan figure has, and it makes great use of the limited articulation the smaller body style is capable of.

The different hair options and facial expressions are perfect too.

But if I had a complaint - and it's more of a criticism of the whole line recently - it's that you can't swap heads with the previous Gohan releases. Not without modification, anyway. Some of the heads included with this version would look great on the Saiyan Saga Gohan. Just like the long hair heads would look great on this sculpt.

Which is a shame. This is a great figure. They've been putting out some truly excellent toys, but it feels like a blatantly greedy decision that ultimately takes away from the overall enjoyment of the figure.

CiBoys Z'Gok
  - from Mobile Suit Gundam
  - by CiBoys x Bandai
One Day One Shot

CiBoys was a designer toy line that featured little rabbits (or some other small animal, but I say they're rabbits) wearing costumes. From urban fashion, to Bruce Lee characters, to classic Super Robots and more.
Here, they're dressed as Gundam characters.

And because they're costumes, the soft vinyl hats -- or, in this case, helmets -- can be removed to reveal their faces. And they had little bunny butt holes (for lack of a better word) incorporated into their designs.
Fun fact: this post was restricted on Instagram because I wrote "butt holes" - because the modern internet is a slow drip of mental torture.

And here we have a cute little bunny, dressed as a cute little robot, based on the mobile suits most famous for ending the lives of a staggering amount of main characters in one of the most tragic chapters of a series about the horrors of war. And his little booty is out.

So obviously it's one of my favorite toys.

Super Saiyan Kefla

• from Dragon Ball Super
  
• by Bandai Spirits

and if you click through to Instagram at the end, you'll get a One Day One Shot recap so far

Kefla was one of the many new characters introduced in Dragon Ball Super - a custom between the two Universe 6 Saiyans; Kale and Caulifla. An alternate universe analog for Broly, combined (no pun intended) - she was a fan favoritewith the power of a Fusion, and definitely one of mine. Great, simple design.

The figure is excellent too. But we'll talk about that another time, because she deserves a full gallery.
Even just for her accessories alone.

Now, on the topic of One Day One Shot:
We'll usually post to this format when we're away on vacation - but this time we are still here at home.
The problem was time.
It's the Holidays - and between work and preparations, we're just too busy.

Also; a lot of these are figures that I'm usually intimidated to take pictures of. Take Scorpion for example - he comes with a ton of accessories. And if I was doing a full gallery, I would want to come up with poses and effects parts and a funny picture or two. That's a lot of time planning.

And normally, I love to do that. But when time is scarce, it becomes a little stressful. So this takes a little burden off of me, and let's be show off some toys I typically have to set aside time for.

Gashadokuro
8" Plush Guts Dunny

• by Kidrobot
  

One Day One Shot

His name is written with the onomatopoeia for rattling bones, he's out for revenge, and now he's encased in a cute little bunny shell.

One of my favorite pickups of the last 5 years. This 8 inch tall Dunny makes an incredible centerpiece to an eclectic collection - which mine just happens to be!

Calling it a sofubi is a misnomer - the outside shell is hard gradient tinted plastic. Inside, the Dunny's skeleton and guts are plush. Covered in gorgeous stitch work, with macabre details like the X eyes and broken heart.

The final result is a beautiful figure that catches the attention of everyone that sees it. It's a stunning toy.

The Gashadokuro- or "Starving Skeleton" - is my favorite of the traditional Japanese Yokai. Even separated from the mythology, what's not to love about a giant skeleton?
