The 2021 S.H. Figuarts ‘Android 18 -Universe Survival Saga-’ brings us the version of this character seen in DB Super. The figure features a new sculpt and design based on the 3.0 articulated bodies, resulting in a very good figure. Additionally, it comes well-equipped with accessories, including double hairpieces, a ki attack effect, and arms with hands in the pockets.
This articulated ‘Android 18 -Universe Survival Saga-’ figure was released in 2021 as a Tamashii Web Exclusive, making it the 116th figure in the Dragon Ball S.H. Figuarts collection.
This is the third release the brand has made of this character, but only the second distinct figure; the first two releases used the same mold, body, and everything else, based on her first appearance in DBZ during the Android and Cell Saga. Those were the 2014 ‘Android no.18’ and its 2020 Exclusive Event version.
For this second distinct figure, they based the design on Dragon Ball Super, specifically the Multiverse Tournament Saga, which is why she wears that pink tracksuit. The design and sculpt are 100% original, and they implemented the 3.0 articulation system in the body, allowing for much greater mobility without sacrificing aesthetics compared to the typical 1.5 system Tamashii usually uses for female figures.
Regarding accessories, it’s a pretty complete figure with plenty of hands and faces. It also includes double hairpieces — one static and one dynamic — as well as arms with hands in the pockets and a ki attack effect.
At listacompletade.com, we recommend this figure whenever you like this version of the character, as they have incorporated the 3.0 body into the sculpt in a very aesthetic way. It’s also a good choice if you want a figure of this character, since this version is cheaper than the DBZ ones.
Besides this, if you want to see an unboxing with comparisons, I invite you to watch the video from the El Cuarto 4to Gamer MX YouTube channel, where they showcase it in detail.
