S.H. Figuarts Goku

Dragon Ball toy figures have been around for a long-time, however I never bought any because the quality was never anything impressive.  Most of the time they were simple looking figures with not much articulation.  Thankfully that all changed when Bandai came out with their S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball Z toyline.  Since then the line is the premier toy line for Dragon Ball figures.  The figures are highly detailed and are highly articulated making them perfect for posing in many ways.
The first version I bought was this basic version of Goku, or Son Goku (2014 version).  He comes in his iconic orange and blue uniform, minus the Turtle school patches (which I didn’t notice were absent until later).  You also get various accessories such as different hands, faces and a kamehameha ball.  While I view S.H. Figuarts as toys, I would also suggest they shouldn't be heavily played with (because they are fragile); rather they are best used to decorate a desk or shelf and to pose and take pictures with only.  Either way I’m sure you'll enjoy collecting them (at retail prices).

Dragon Ball begins for me


What a glorious day, for today I start my journey on an epic quest to view all the Dragon Ball series. I like to consider myself a fan of the series; however I never had the chance to watch every episode before. Unlike other animated TV shows, Dragon Ball is a series that follows a continuity storyline from one episode to the next. What made it difficult for me to watch it many years ago was that it was only shown on TV and you had to watch it every day to follow along.

Even when you did watch it every day, the channel that they would air it (YTV in Canada) would not show every episode all at once, and would constantly show repeats. Thankfully the internet has solved this problem by having websites that show every episode. This is convenient because you can follow along from story to story, watch it whenever you want, and can repeat any scene that you would like to watch again. While there are many links to the episodes online, the one that I am going to use is dbzremastered.com. I like it because the episodes are organized neatly, and when you view them they are nice and clear and don’t take much to load. So once again.. I am super psyched about starting this journey and I can’t wait to see them all.
