Hey man, love all the reviews. I only have one criticism, please mix the audio so that the music and your voiceover are on the same levels. Your music tends to be too loud compared to your voice. I hope you don't take this comment in the wrong way 🙏.

[@eightysixedreviews]

Thank you! and not at all, that is great advice and I do appreciate it!

[@marioochoa]

@@eightysixedreviews awesome, keep up the good work!

[@DammitEthan]

I just pre ordered mine via BBTS. Looks like a great figure! The price isn't looking so great though, especially with how great Gohan is for so much less

[@craftcollects]

BBTS will have to upcharge for it being an import, original price was $70 plus coming with the effect piece.

[@itisnotsosimple]

That price hike is due to this being a con exclusive figure. Gohan was a general release.

[@DammitEthan]

@@itisnotsosimple Con exclusive just sounds like an excuse to sell the figure for more tbh

[@itisnotsosimple]

@@DammitEthan yes and no. They are, as the name implies, exclusive. Less are made of them and they won't be rereleased in the future. That exclusivity is the justification for the higher price.

[@eligamerman]

You're so lucky for getting this figure early! Definitely agree with you when you say this should've been a regular release, considering it's a different transformation for Goku that's iconic. Regardless, I'm very excited to add this guy to my collection next year! Stay safe as always bro and take care :)

[@eightysixedreviews]

Cheers brother! I was very fortunate to have good friends that looked out for me. You take care too mate!

[@BenTabafunda]

I think there will be a regular release for ssj2 goku in the future without battle damage and aura.

[@DokkanAssets]

Man i so regret not getting this figure when it was up for pre-order!

[@RallenRiko]

I luckily had a friend that attended SDCC, and was able to get me Goku. I'm so glad it worked out cuz I really so enjoy the figure as well, it could have been better in places, but overall is very solid and very worth getting in my opinion.

[@Saiyan1229]

I love the faces on this guy. The best goku faces weve gotten so far imo

[@Cscottrun53]

This was inspired by both Yamamuro and Masunagas renditions of ssj2 goku.

[@ayerooown]

Yep, the shape of the hair is very Studio Cockpit-like, the same goes for the smirking face sculpt

[@KitbashCustoms]

Super excited to get this one! Like you said I wish the effect pieces would’ve attached to the fig and not the aurora, that kinda sucks. I would like to say the qc was better. But mine broke from barely falling, easy enough fix but man it was tragic

[@eightysixedreviews]

Sorry to hear that but that’s not a problem for Kitbash!!!

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

Looks pretty good especially with the amazing faces but being SDCC exclusive any import would really expensive shipping wise and I'm personally done with orange gi adult Gokus in my collection so he's a skip.

[@dtfigures]

Great figure as always my man! About the ab mod, maybe a video guide would be better? I’d definitely want to try it, but I wouldn’t want to end up snipping off the wrong thing, haha! 😅

[@L1mt7]

All I want is the goku that can do a proper kamekameha pose

[@imarock.7662]

6:41 I think the term your looking for here is "Roger Rabbit Effect". When a figure, or spot on a figure(like the face)looks so good, and so show accurate, that it looks like it stepped right out of the show.

[@eightysixedreviews]

Can I use that the next time I feel the same way about another figure?

[@imarock.7662]

@@eightysixedreviews Of course, bro. Lol I didn’t even come up with it. I heard it from Jobby The Hong, so that’s how I know it.

[@Thomas_Name]

Happy to see you managed yo get your hands on them. I can imagine it would have been a bit sad not getting your favorite Goku upgrade since childhood. I wonder what DF will do.

[@Saiyan1229]

the final product is actually closer to the pale yellow than the promo images imo. The promo images looked more the regular yellow

[@masalamonkey4092]

If the only difference is the bangs piece and chest i really feel like full power super saiyan goku couldve included a few more faces and the alternate bangs. Maybe even 2 hair/head pieces like scouter vegeta did. I really want this figure but this feels like parcelling out accessories to make me buy more needlessly. I really wish he had a new kamehameha wave effect over an aura backdrop. Hopefully the halo port hole is well hidden when not in use, im still annoyed the namek final form frieza has a hole in his head that has no swappable parts to hide it.

[@duplicate.phenom]

I can’t wait for march honestly I got two of all of the EE I’m geeked out! Great review!

[@HBRO_04]

It sucks how SSJ2 goku was an even exclusive

[@tubbymontana7090]

Dam 🦫 that head on the 1.0 body just smacks like it’s hitting right chief I’m going to try that combo I really liked jt

[@LawHasFlow]

Just ordered this one off of BBTS, price is not amazing BUT he looks really awesome!

[@td19589]

Bit of a monkeys paw for me, I finally get the pale yellow I wanted.. but it's a metallic and convention exclusive (for now). The sculpt is awesome though..

[@Thomas_Name]

Cry about it.

[@luisrodriguezvaldivia8472]

I hope this goku do not have a weak neck joint like the last goku

[@imarock.7662]

I agree that this should've been a regular release.

[@dstr001]

Im so glad demoniacal fit is making this because frankly screw Tamashii for making it an exclusive.

[@sergiorocha1820]

Really glad you were able to secure some event exclusive’s !! Your my go to channel for this content!! Keep up the awesome Vids! I secured my Goku and Android 16 on premium Bandai site😁

[@eightysixedreviews]

Much appreciated brother! It’s all thanks to good friends! I’m very lucky!

[@thebat8997]

With that Super Saiyan Goku head that was thirty dollars I didn’t look right on any of the other gokus bodies But the exclusive head just looks right

[@redajun2593]

So happy u gor this guy. Mine came yesterday and i love it

[@eightysixedreviews]

Thank you Redajun! All thanks to good friends!

[@lazergator1016]

Finally my favourite form of goku really nice figure. Is this the best looking goku maybe.

[@variablex]

Was wondering if the ssj2 faces fit in the full power head?

[@Mendosen86]

March? but Bigbadtoystore and Crunchy roll has him for release next month

[@zojirushi1]

23:07 did you paint that Ssj Vegito head or is that the df ssj Vegito head?

[@eightysixedreviews]

Hey Zo! It’s the Demoniacal Fit head set they released a year or two ago

[@Chilled_Revenant]

I love the figure my only criticism is the long neck. I just swapped it with a spare broly blue Goku figure I had. Other wise it’s spectacular and the aura is perfect for a father son kamehameha pose

[@eightysixedreviews]

That is very true, and I thought it was only mine but I guess it’s wide spread. I tried pushing it down thinking the neck just didn’t sit properly on the torso but thanks for pointing that out!

[@Chilled_Revenant]

@@eightysixedreviews yeah I’m not sure why that was but, I forgot to say great review as always my man!

[@eightysixedreviews]

Appreciate that brother!

[@thanksgivingh6185]

the fullpower goku has this issue as well i think.

[@TheRisingHopper]

Btw, what camera do you use?

[@eightysixedreviews]

Sony a6400 with a 24-50mm lens

[@nintendoe3173]

It's not a figure that hasn't been made, but I really want a new teen Gohan with anime colors and a ssj2 effect piece. Maybe even a Kamehameha.

[@eightysixedreviews]

I’m right there with you! Battle damage is great but I’d love an updated normal piccolo gi cell arc gohan

[@makeitmakesense411]

I'm waiting for second form frieza

[@CMCustom112]

Hope DF copies this this headsculpt for a pack

[@kyosnk40]

They're making there own copy once again.

[@MrRandygtgod]

Why is getting a kid buu taking so long 😭😭😭

[@StephenCurryKobeBryant]

Hi

[@milkboyii]

is that the guy from Fortnite

[@henrywong3632]

Oh look it's the guy from fortnite

[@henrywong3632]

By the way I am just joking I know he is not from fortnite

[@royaltyfreeyoshi7631]

This guy as a figure really does feel like a consequence of how bad premium bandai is. He looks great, comes with great accessories and face changes but with premium bandai’s higher than normal prices and the costs for shipping and handling it’s just hard to spend that much for another goku

[@Saiyan1229]

Especially it being a 2.0 and how we see that the line is starting to move on to the 3.0 bodies
