SH Figuarts - Zarbon

One Day One Shot

Dodoria's partner in crime, in the flesh. Or plastic, as it is.

Zarbon is one of my favorite villain designs from Dragon Ball, so I was very excited to see this figure get announced. And the sculpt came out pitch perfect. Great colors, too.

It's just such a unique design, between the leg and arm warmers, the long hair, and the pastel color scheme. It's meant to be unconventional, but ironically it's one of the more toyetic designs in the franchise.

This is also one of the few really good plastic capes that SHF has done. I would still prefer wired fabric, but it's very good for what it is.

Now if they would only do a Monster Form figure.

S.H. Figuarts Dodoria

Playing catch-up with Insta - so it really is One Day Two Shots on here!

So, who was holding those Ginyu Frogs from yesterday? None other but SH Figuarts Dodoria!

I've shown this figure a few times now,  and the Instagram algorithm seems to hate it for some reason. Maybe it's those spikes, or his menacing purple lips.

But he's a great figure. Big, colorful, and incredibly well engineered (and well integrated) articulation.

I'd love to see more oversized monster Figuarts from the Dragon Ball line. Actually, one of my dream releases would be Dodoria's partner in space crime - monster form Zarbon.

SH Figuarts - Recoome

One Day One Shot

And the Ginyu frog from yesterday? He came with none other than Recoome - the burly redheaded member of the Ginyu Tokusentai.

I have long held the opinion that the oversized figures are usually the best in the Dragon Ball Figuarts line. And Recoome is the gold standard.

Perfect, expressive articulation. Excellent sculpt and proportions. And a ton of accessories. This really is one of the best figures in the entire Figuarts catalogue.

It's a very substantial toy. A hefty sculpt with solid construction. And it really captures that goofy menacing presence of the character.

The Ginyu frog was just icing on the cake.

SH Figuarts - Ginyu Frog

One Day One Shot

Speaking of that Ginyu Frog ~
The original Irwin Toys release of Namek Saga Bulma came with a Ginyu frog accessory - and one of my biggest laments over the new Figuarts release was: No Ginyu frog!

But worry not! Premium Bandai included their own extra-floppy Ginyu frog with SH Figuarts Recoome!

The new frog is on the left, the old Irwin version is on the right. And you know, call me crazy... but I think I like the original Irwin version better. It's big, bright, and it even has articulation! That new one is no slouch though.

And hey, two Ginyu frogs!
Can't complain about that.
