When Anthony's Customs was bashing this figure nitpicking things and claiming "this is why it's no going on my top ten." I honestly thought he was high. This is hands down one of the best DBZ figuarts, period. Thanks for an actual sensible review man.
I respect his opinion as he’s good at what he does. However, sometimes he feels the need to hate something that everyone likes a lot. He went out of his way to add a magical criterion like “looks bad in photos” and didn’t even bother to pose him properly in the end. The figure isn’t a 10 for like 70 USD + tax. (The chest color decision and lack of shading on the skin hold it back. Would’ve loved a kamehameha beam vs. the usual effect, and an extra normal head.) But damn, this is the closest we’ve gotten to a perfect release from this line - aesthetics, solidity, and articulation considering.
The shading on the front, but not the back, damn, that's a total Hasbro move. Lol. I watched some DBZ back in the day, and I think I'll definitely have to pick this up, if I pass, I'm sure it'll go up. This is the best swole Goku review by far.
idk if i should get this or black hole toys acme power 2 goku, i really like how jagged the lines are and the muscless and shit it looks so cool in this figure
I was busy sleeping any ways this review is to good. Tbh the fig is so swole and detailed. Combine that with articulation you get the true LEGENDARY SSJ!!!
Solid investment imo. Price will go up within a year, but it could be longer. I usually buy a few and sell them and keep one to display. I sold my other awakened goku and scooped this one up quick. Now tempted to buy more 😅
@@Supersonicracer64 Do you know whether they are going to do something about the chest piece coloring? You said that its because of the material so its unlikely right?
G5 Luffy is mid of 2024, and he’s a general release also. This figure has a higher likelihood of going out of stock by then, as it’s super popular atm. Who knows there could be a re-release soon to satisfy the demand if that happens! Bandai did that with SS4 Goku. More on G5 Luffy, people are skeptical about the bendy wires on his limbs. So until the reviews come out to address quality/longevity concerns, I wouldn’t expect a huge demand for him.
Give it a bit…it’s a general release. (I know, rare for Bandai in this line.) Will be back to retail soon. Hell, you may even get it a few bucks cheaper in due time as Amazon should have a large stock. (Like SS4 figuarts figures.) The figure is mighty popular after all.
Thank God I'm definitely getting this fig now I was holding off to see if the face was annoying like ssj4 but now I know it doesn't he's probably gonna be my favorite fig when I get him
i honestly think that is overrated because i see goku too muscular i know that thats how it looks in the anime or manga but i honestly like more de other version but its ok
Dude, while the figure is good, there are some nasty issues with it. The chest piece is not the same color as the rest of the body and you can definitely see it in person, the neck peg is a big too short ( this one is relatively easy to fix though), the faces are too shiny and the hip/top of the thigh are way too big and it disrupts the aesthetic . I own it ( I even have 2) but let’s not say that’s perfect when it’s clearly far from it. It’s not the best figure released this year. Heck, it’s not even best Goku to come out this year if you count Turles as a Goku. It’s a good figure, not a great one.
His neck was actually pretty swole and stocky like that in the anime/manga. It honestly just sounds like you're regurgitating other reviewers points like a check list. Nothing is perfect, but this figure is pretty damn close to it.
Anthony customs much? They are not nasty issues, outside of aesthetics. If these are indeed “nasty”, what would you call the recent 3.0 Future Trunks with his actual QC issues and his messed up reverse torso part?
I think this figure is way overhyped, it looks more like a toy then the older version. You cant just skip shading it’s unacceptable for the price and standard of the brand.
