A popular collector-oriented line of toys produced by [[Bandai]] of Japan, well-known for its focus on sculpt quality, natural yet effective articulation and large accessory count. The line mainly produces ''[[Kamen Rider]]''
Since its launch in 2008, it has become very popular thanks to its introducing of a robust yet highly articulated humanoid base body, and now has several spin-off lines:
Line 9:
* ''S.H. MonsterArts'', articulated figures for [[Kaiju]] series such as ''[[Godzilla]]''.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Development Hell]]: Quite a few, depressingly enough. [[Tensou Sentai Goseiger|Gosei Knight]] was revealed in mid-2010 and finally announced for release ... in April 2012. [[No Export for You|As a web exclusive.]] Some don't even get ''that'' far, such as the [[Kamen Rider Kiva|Kamen Rider Saga]] prototype that was shown and then shelved for reasons unknown.
** Let us not forget about Vegeta, and the DBZ sub-line in general.
** This appears to happen quite regularly; something will be shown at a Tamashii event and then either disappear completely after it, or pop up months later with almost no foreshadowing. It's probably based on potential market demand.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: [http://shishioh.info/image/shf-cyclonejoker/DSC_1044.jpg Type-1 hips] and [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5k8oCN0qdL8/S3Z4E-LiE6I/AAAAAAAAA6Y/2jxe5GpcCzU/s1600/shfblackrx2.jpg Type-2 hips] originally coined by Vangelus.
* [[Henshin Hero]]: Their main distribution seems to be the [[Kamen Rider]] franchise.
* [[No Export for You]]: Anything that is a Tamashii Web Exclusive, including the Tamashii Festival Expo sets.
