![]() The waist is on a ball-peg and there’s diaphragm articulation as well. The hands are on ball-pegs and hinges and can rotate and point in and out. ![]() There’s bicep swivels and double-jointed elbows. The shoulders are on ball-joints with butterfly joints that allow him to reach across his chest a bit, though the bulk of his sleeves hinders a bit. A ball-jointed head gives him some nice range of motion and additional neck articulation adds some side-to-side pivot and allows him to look at his feet. His braid is on a ball joint so it can lay on his back or be positioned in a wind swept pose. He features a lot of the same articulation one would expect from this line. Tao stands a tick under 6″ making him taller than the likes of Bulma, but much shorter than someone like King Piccolo. He’s not particularly intimidating to look at, but in the source material he projects an aura of confidence that’s a bit unnerving. He has a single braid coming off of the back of his head tied off with a cute little, red, bow. He’s clad in a navy and pink martial arts uniform with the phrase “Kill You!” emblazoned on the rear of his tunic in a blood red font. Figuarts version of Tao depicts the character in his most familiar form. Tao is quite possibly the most hated enemy from Dragon Ball since he’s a ruthless killer and also one of the few to defeat Goku in hand-to-hand combat. He’s even been known to kill people with his tongue, folks. Known to English-speaking audiences as Mercenary Tao, and for the rest of this review as simply Tao, Tao is a martial arts expert who has perfected the dreaded Dodonpa, or Dodon Ray, and is an adept killing machine. We’re back with another Dragon Ball review and this one is another bad guy, maybe THE bad guy: Tao Pai Pai. This is the story of a man and his flying, pink, pillar.
