The removable ear just bothers me to no end. I’m very careful with my Figuarts, but others are careless & it can fall out as soon as they remove it from the package. It just makes 0 sense to me why they would do that Otherwise, Bardock is a day 1 purchase for me On that last picture it’s even noticeable that it’s removable. There’s a big line down the side of his face. Not a fan of that at all. How did the other figures handle the scouters? Were there just specific faceplates with them and without them?

It's a beautiful figure. The smirking face doesn't look as bad as Vegito Blue's at least. 🤮

I nearly didn't get him because I'm not the biggest Bardock fan, but man am I glad I preordered him. Anyway, I’m now very tempted by Bardock. I’d need to find a first form Frieza to go with him though. Not sure how easy that would be. Mannn all this praise for the Bardock figure is making me want to buy him now, too! I never really understood all the hype around Bardock so I thought I'd pass on the S.H. Figuarts one but with how so many figures I've been getting lately are subpar and leave a lot to be desired, I'm really tempted to pick up Bardock when I can, just to finally have another figure I can say is 10/10... At least I can pose him with 1st Form Frieza like derelictbadger mentioned! I hadn't actually thought of that, but hey, maybe if I do give into these temptations I can do that instead of displaying Frieza next to the Ginyu Force like I originally planned.

derelictbadger Well, for Captain Ginyu, at least, there were pegs on the faces specific for the scouter.
Loving that Bardock more and more every day. I'm not the world's biggest fan of his, but that matters no longer lol

I like Badruk because he’s from the early 90’s DBZ era when I was first introduced to the series
I just wish they would’ve spent more time developing Raditz. It really didn’t matter him being Goku’s brother because it had no effect on the plot whatsoever. He could’ve just been a random Saiyan survivor with no relation, like Turles, and is never brought up or mentioned again after his defeat. He makes a cameo in the Broly movie, but again, doesn’t matter because it didn’t mean anything. Bardook at least has a meaningful link to the story
And he doesn’t even look like Goku at all. Or his father or his mother, so like, wtf
I’m still gonna buy it, but I’m just annoyed that they didn’t do anything with his character, especially his significance as the main character of the entire series brother should have, but there’s nothing there
I almost forgot that Vegeta has a brother too, but it’s played off as a joke character & once again has no significance. So I don’t consider him canon at all
Concerning that smirking face, all that proves is that angles & lighting make ALL the difference. Some promo shots can make a figure look awesome then you see photos on instagram by amateur photographers that make the figure look totally different. There’s an IGer named gary_garzon and all his SHF photos look awesome, but he obviously edits & photoshops all of them.

That's a totally cool and respectable reason to like him. I've always liked D-list characters in Z anyway Most of them being more awesome, underused and underrated than some C or B-listers You know, for example, my obsession with King Cold has nothing to do with how he was used and set up. I love him a) because his design is totally imposing and badass, b) I'm one of the rare few who likes his original Funimation voice (not more than Kai's though!), and c) He had so much potential, being the father of perhaps the main, top villain of Dragon Ball altogether. I'd hoped he'd have a bigger role in Broly than just a stupid cameo. Still loved seeing him though. At least he's acknowledged, at least in filler and one movie. Unlike Raditz. Vegeta has a brother? (sarcasm, it's just he's so forgettable...)

He would have been great as an MCU Thanos level sort of a threat. Pulling the strings of the whole galaxy in the background.

I think Freezer’s species will always remain an unanswered mystery. I recall an old interview from back in the day where Toriyama just called him a “monster from space” and left it at that.
In my headcanon, they are known as Changelings, because that’s literally what they are & there’s no other words to describe them. His bloodline is the only one left of his kind which explains why he & his ancestors consider themselves “royalty” in the universe. Because the rest of them are pretty much extinct. That’s the only explanation I can think of that makes sense to me
I don’t follow any of the Xenoverse games or Dokkan Battles or any of that stuff so I’m oblivious to any hints or explanations to Freeza that they may or may not include

Which is a real shame because I'd have loved to see more. solubletoast Same, same... It sucks hard that he got tossed aside like a dirty diaper because of little darling Trunks... Anyhow, I'm really kicking myself up the arse right now. Raditz is no longer up for preorder. Damn it!!!
