Dragon Ball Z Super Saiyan Goku - SH Figuarts

Tamashii Nations revealed a new Dragon Ball Z SH Figuarts figure based on Goku in his Legendary Super Saiyan form. It will have his looks from the end of the Frieza arc. It will also feature a new joint structure Bandai Namco will use for the brand's figures. Pre-orders will open worldwide on June 1, 2023, and it will cost ¥ 7,150 / $50.99 (tax included).

Here is the official announcement for the SH Figuarts Super Saiyan Goku from the Tamashii Nations Twitter account.

https://twitter.com/TamashiiNations/status/1661901725001818112?s=20

This Goku will come with 3 different faces with screaming, clenching, and grinning expressions, along with 5 pairs of hands, interchangeable hair and head parts, and effect parts for the Kamehameha wave. Most notably, this will be the first figure to use a new articulation technology for more accurate and smooth poses. You can check out a 3D model visor of the figure on the Tamashii website.

It is no surprise we see more Dragon Ball figures being released, as a recent report confirmed it to be one of the most lucrative IPs for Bandai Namco in the last financial year, along with Gundam. Another example of this is the 10 million sales milestone reached by the Dragon Ball FighterZ and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 games.

The Dragon Ball Z SH Figuarts Super Saiyan Goku Figure is planned for a November 2023 release, and pre-orders will start on June 1, 2023. You can watch several of the Dragon Ball series on Crunchyroll right now.

Kingdom Hearts Roxas Ring Hides Art of Him with Axel and Xion

Square Enix is working on new Kingdom Hearts jewelry. This latest one comes in two variants and hides a secret. Two Kingdom Hearts Roxas ring versions will appear in Japan on November 11, 2023, and each one also pays tribute to Axel and Xion via hidden art. The items will cost 24,200円 (~$172) each. The Square Enix worldwide storefront doesn't offer listings for either one yet. However, it often also offers these kinds of items not long after the Japanese announcement.

Aside from the color variations, the two rings are identical. Both Kingdom Hearts rings feature a checkerboard design on the outside that is inspired by Roxas' clothing. On the inside, a picture of Axel, Roxas, and Xion eating sea-salt ice cream as they did in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is engraved into the band. They are also each made of 925 sterling silver. You can get them in specific sizes ranging from 7-23. The difference is one is just silver, and the other features a black coating.

Here's how the standard silver one looks:

And here's how the alternative option will look:
[gallery columns="2" size="full" ids="965277,965278,965279,965280" link="file"]

It isn't unusual for Kingdom Hearts jewelry based on specific characters to appear. For example, U-Treasure released a bracelet and necklace inspired by Roxas in the past. Square Enix also made necklaces based on Kairi's keyblade in 2023.

The two versions of the Kingdom Hearts Roxas ring will appear in Japan on November 11, 2023.

Good Smile Company's Working on a Bruce Lee Nendoroid

Good Smile Company often makes figures based on real-life personalities, in addition to ones of anime and game characters. At WonHobbyG 2023 Spring, it showed off one of them. A Bruce Lee Nendoroid is in the works, and a painted prototype of the figure made its debut at the event. There's no release window for it yet. However, due to the photo and displays in a video, it seems far along in development.

Here's a closer look at the upcoming figure. In this photo, he's wielding a pair of nunchaku.

There's also a video segment showing some different poses for this Nendoroid. It begins at the 5:09 mark of the trailer below. Two different face plates appear, with one depicting a serious expression and the other making it look like he's shouting. It also shows there will be punching and kicking parts for additional poses.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK4LCXTuBXE&ab_channel=GOODSMILECHANNEL

This will be the second Good Smile Company's second Bruce Lee figure. The first is a figma that appeared back in 2015.

There's no release window for the Bruce Lee Nendoroid yet, but we could see pre-orders open soon due to there already being a painted prototype available.

Nanami Chiaki Super Danganronpa 2 black Bunny figure header

Good Smile Company will release a figure of Chiaki Nanami from Danganronpa 2: Despair wearing a black bunny outfit. Pre-orders are open until July 20, 2023. She costs 26,400 JPY and will ship out in September 2023 for Japanese customers. Those in North America will pay $189.99 and get her in Q4 2023.

Unlike the baggy clothes she wears in the game, the Black Bunny figure of Chiaki is more on the skimpy side. This is a 1/4 scale figure that is around 215 millimeters in height. She's is sitting down for the figure's pose. This is actually a recolor of the Chiaki Nanami: Bunny Version figure that came out in May 2020. That one had a white hat and leotard.

Here are some more pictures of the Chiaki Nanami: Black Bunny Version figure:

[gallery columns="4" ids="965255,965254,965253,965252" link="file"]

Chiaki Nanami is the Ultimate Gamer in Super Danganronpa 2 and the heroine in that entry. In the game, she wears a jacket that has cat ears on the hood. So she normally is more of a cat girl than a bunny girl. Rabbits are an important animal to Chiaki, since the rabbit-like mascot character Usami is a close friend of hers.

The Danganronpa 2: Despair Chiaki Nanami: Black Bunny Version figure is available for pre-order via Good Smile Company until July 20, 2023. Good Smile Company also announced a Nendoroid of her is on the way. You can find Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair on the PSP in Japan and on the Switch, PS4, Vita, Xbox One, PC, and mobile devices worldwide.

Pokemon Shirts Original Stitch

From June 12, 2023, you will no longer be able to purchase any Pokemon shirts from Original Stitch. This is due to the closure of the company. Those who wanted something from Original Stitch should do so before June 12, 2023. [Thanks, Serebii!]

Original Stitch is a company that allows you to customize your own Pokemon shirt. You can choose your own patterns, buttons, and designs. Aside from shirts, you can also get bandanas, masks, and accessories such as aprons that have Pokemon designs on them. During 2021 when the pandemic forced countries into lockdown, it also had custom Zoom backgrounds to spruce up your work meetings. Original Stitch doesn't deliver to every country, so fans should check the website before making a purchase.

As of the time of writing, Original Stitch's website is not very stable due to a high volume of traffic. So it can be difficult to check what patterns are available. However, the latest updates are from 2021, and some of the new patterns from then introduced species from Hoenn (Ruby/Sapphire). This means that you won't be able to get shirts with newer Pokemon like Sprigatito, who debuted in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Original Stitch will close down and Pokemon shirts will no longer be available to order from June 12, 2023.
