For the people who are curious about head swaps, it is not possible. The neck peg is a double ball joint on this guy unlike all of the previous SH Figuarts Goku Figures. The Demoniacal Fit Goku (Martialist Forever) also has a double ball peg, but unfortunately it is too small also making head swapping impossible.
This figure looks insanely amazing. Yeah, I bet you could turn this Goku into a pretzel, and he'd look dope af. It's great when you get so pumped for a figure because the review is top top top notch.
I believe he's referred as the legendary Super Saiyan because of that manga panel where he transformed for the first time and told Frieza that he is the legendary warrior, Son Goku, the Super Saiyan. And we all know how that phrase triggered Frieza. This figure is just pure awesomeness. It took me a lot to get this because my local retailer cancelled my pre-order despite paying in full on the first day the pre-order opened. I had to secure one though Japan auction. But it is worth it. Despite made in Vietnam, the joints are smooth like the SHF Naruto line.
yeah he is, z broly retconned that but that movie isn't canon so goku is the super saiyan from legend and in actual canon (super) broly is just a mutant
This gotta be the best SS I've ever seen, the new body and the smooth design,also the soft plastic on the crotch is awesome! PS: It's called "Legendary Super Saiyan" Because in the Frieza saga,when Goku got his super Saiyan form for the first time,Frieza was shocked knowing he's a legendary super Saiyan 😂
Ah yes, that's when Super Saiyan transformation used to be legendary! I never bought Broly (DBZ or Super) as the legendary Super Saiyan. Goku reached the transformation from the legend first, and avenged his race by putting down the boastful tyrant that is (Lord) Frieza. Poetic justice at its finest, and this is such an unforgettably mind-blowing look for one of the most iconic anime characters of all time! (Sorry, I don't buy the Dragon Ball Super retcon about planet Vegeta's destruction...it's lame like that entire show.)
Completely agree that Tamashii could’ve matte-finished the chest so it isn’t as shiny. They’ve done it with other swole af figures like Full power Jiren, and Full power DB Super Broly. However, I find it wacky that some talk shit about the “discoloration” like it’s a QC issue haha! I mean, MUI Goku has a shiny chest, and Krillin has glistening face like this one, but they don’t get this much hate. It’s not even that noticeable in person! This is the best SSJ Goku. Looks like the beast that he’s supposed to be, he poses like a dream, while holding them like a champ! I’m sure Bandai will make a special edition adding matte-finish, shading, and paint in the scrapes people…it’s just a matter of time. Will be way more expensive though. I’d love a battle-damaged look for Vegeta as well, Ace! Like from the Saiyan Saga, or the Cooler movie you were talking about. Damn, I’ll take a battle-damaged Piccolo…he always gets a mid/subpar release in this line.
I really think it depends on what lighting people are looking at the figure under. Some lights react to the different plastics differently. This figures beautiful regardless. My only gripe is the shinyness on some of the parts like the faces which happens on mainly the vietnam releases for some reason
The discolouration is mostly noticeable through camera, but it does not deter from this being the BEST and everyone's favourite goku figure so far. I genuinely loved it! articulation, accessories (never seen these many sets of hands in one box), and the painting on his pants and hair? LOVE IT. I also wanna point out how his belt isn't on a peg and is rubbery scuplt that doesn't move... THANK GOD. I hated it on super hero base goku.
i think officially goku is the legendary super saiyan from vegeta's legend and green-haired broly is officially berserk super saiyan as z broly isn't canon and full power super saiyan is mastered super saiyan from the cell games but then they call green haired kale legendary, which i have to assume is the dubbing making sure viewers know is referencing broly since he wasn't canon at that time
Was waiting for your review🎉 I got lucky and got him yesterday on Amiami 😂 Ok I think him, Suguru and Yuzuriha might be the best SHFs of the year. (I don't collect Naruto line, I know those figures receive a lot of love 😂😂)
I just don’t like the fact that the pec piece is a different plastic material and a different color than the rest of the skin. The qc issues are ridiculous
See mine is much lighter compared to the rest of the body than the one in this review. Mine was very noticeable when first pulled out of the box. I have another on the way from Amazon so hopefully it’s a better batch.
And there it is...do people not understand what a QC issue is? Here are some examples of the recent QC issues (outside of the awful scaling, the lack of shading, inconsistent finishes resulting in shiny figures, and being stingy with accessories in this line): - 3.0 Trunks has wobbly legs and his arm comes off easily. - Battle Armor Krillin is poorly made and has problem standing up straight. The decision to use a different plastic piece is not a QC issue. Is it the best choice? Possibly not, but is it broken? Does it hinder articulation greatly? The only thing I can agree on is that we could've had matte finish, and some shading to make the chest piece more aesthetically consistent, but it's not too bad in its current state at all.
great review! if its available i might pick it up since i missed the preorder, but have you seen the new shf kaioken goku? hes matte and his name is power level 18000 goku but idk if its completely real
Personally reason I don't buy it is cause proportionally not a fan of this gokus look prfer the 2.0 shirtless goku proportions it also doesn't fit with my other goku figures and the head swaps not being compatible with my other goku figs is another issue that makes me apprehensive to buy it which in general if I bought this my other you figs that I've collected wouldn't match and I'd basically want to start my collection over again with goku heads and bodies that match this guy's proportions when I'm satisfied with the 2.0 and have come so close to finishing that collection of goku I just don't have the money to start collection goku forms all over again
Man so biased but i guess i can understand since you are a big DB fans, but the discoloration is literally there and looks so obvious, issue is issue, doesn't matter if you like it or not.
