Bandai SH Figuarts Goku and Piccolo

SH Figurarts - Goku and Piccolo (1200x899).jpg — Bandai SH Figuarts Super Saiyan Goku and Piccolo

When I ran a guest review from Blue Devil on the SH Figuarts Piccolo, I knew I was going to have to take the plunge myself. It’s a slippery slope, buying figures imported from the Far East. Once you take the plunge, you find yourself getting used to paying more and expecting more from your toys. For Goku and Piccolo, I paid about $32 each, all in.

Bandai SH Figuarts Piccolo

Action figure collecting can be a slippery slope. I’m already down the path of collecting premium format 1/6 figures, but if I weren’t, this figure of Dragonball Z’s Piccolo from Bandai’s Figuarts line would be a gateway drug. At just under 6 inches, it’s in my collection’s sweet spot, and the articulation is amazingly functional. The downside – this figure is not being distributed in the United States, so if you want to add this to your collection, you’ll be paying import prices.

I haven’t taken the plunge yet, but luckily my friend Blue Devil from north of the border has, and has shared these pictures with us. First, he’s sent pics of the package and contents.

Medicom VCD Gohan with Variant Piccolo Head

I knew I was on a slippery slope when I picked up the Medicom Real Action Heroes Dragonball Z Goku and Piccolo, regardless of how good of a deal I got at the time. So when I learned that Medicom would be making a VCD (that stands for Vinyl Collectible Dolls, but I can’t bring myself to put “Dolls” in the title of this article) Gohan, and that it would be coming with an alternate head for the RAH Piccolo, I admitted defeat.

Sideshow is importing the Gohan VCD, but when I asked, they told me that the package they are carrying does not include the Piccolo head. So off to Ebay I went, paying big international prices and shipping. I feel dirty.
