A special figure exhibition called TAMASHII NATION 2022 by TAMASHII NATIONS was held in Japan over November 18–20, 2022!
In Part 1, we covered S.H.Figuarts Gohan Beast and some other fantastic figures that were on display at the event.
And here in Part 2, we'll tell you all about the three new figures that were announced for preorder at TAMASHII NATION 2022!
Pan from Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO makes her S.H.Figuarts debut! This figure brings cuteness and charm to the Dragon Ball area that is otherwise filled to the brim with figures designed to be fearsome and powerful! She comes equipped with not one but two bottles of water to provide her allies with liquid refreshment, just like she did with Piccolo in the film! Even the details on the bottle label have been painstakingly recreated!
Pan is still in kindergarten, so her figure is appropriately small. That doesn't mean it lacks in poseability, though! You can even recreate the devastating kick that she unleashed on a certain nefarious adult from the Red Ribbon Army in the movie!
In addition, Pan comes with an alternate head part that can be used with the S.H.Figuarts Ultimate Gohan SUPER HERO figure to create a rare winking expression! If you display both figures together, you can even create a precious father-daughter bonding scene.
It has been 12 years since Future Trunks last appeared in the S.H.Figuarts series! This new Trunks figure uses the latest mold techniques that allow for maximum poseability, so even the most discerning fans are sure to be delighted.
First of all, the jacket on this figure has to be seen to be believed! Trunks has always been known for his fashion sense and his trademark jacket, with its slick short length and standing collar, has been impeccably recreated here using soft parts. Its collar and cuff portions have been designed to not limit Trunks' maneuverability, so you can move and rotate his shoulders and arms to your heart's content!
As you can see here, the soft parts used for this figure allow Trunks to draw and swing his sword just like he did in the original series! Also, take a look at how detailed and articulated the leg parts are. This allows you to display Trunks in various jumping and action poses where you might want to bend or stretch out his legs.
A new Vegeta figure is also here! The Saiyan prince looks as powerful and intimidating as when he emerged from the Room of Spirit and Time with his son in the original series!!
Another S.H.Figuarts Super Saiyan Vegeta figure was released in 2016, but this new Awakening Super Saiyan Blood version features a never-before-seen color scheme! To fully express the incredible power and Ki released by legendary Super Saiyan warriors, this figure uses a pearl tone on the hair and head parts. This is another masterpiece that has to be seen in person to fully appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating it.
Although the event has already ended, certain figures will remain on display at the TAMASHII NATIONS STORE TOKYO located in Akihabara, Japan. Make sure to drop by and check them out for yourself if you happen to be in the neighborhood!
You can also check out the archived version of the online broadcast for TAMASHII NATION 2022! The video contains a detailed analysis and pose demonstration for the Trunks and Vegeta figures we talked about in this article as well as the two Super Saiyan 4 figures covered in Part 1, so don't miss it!
