I’m still glad they used the DBZ Bardock and not the DBS bardock

[@tafarihumble1606]

I wish we got a super Saiyan head but we're getting super Saiyan Goku and I'm going to get two of them

[@DragonRoyZ]

they are making a profit out of nostalgia, i like this so much better. lol

[@NarutoUzumaki-uj3xw]

@@JustHazzo no it isn’t. He is the only saiyan who went up against frieza. It would make sense if he went ssj to beat him

[@DumbOfficeMan19]

@@JustHazzo nah ssj bardock was really cool

[@tafarihumble1606]

Ssj tell me how it's a stupid idea when do you see a bunch of people making freaking customs of him now that's just tells me you're stupid right here just to tell me that's a stupid idea my favorite characters plus Goku and Bardock he has four forms legitimate that's super saiyan super Saiyan 2 super Saiyan 3 super Saiyan 4 and then you're going to tell me my comment is a stupid idea

[@gloverdragon6854]

Bandai have OUTDONE themselves here 👏👏👏 brilliant idea to give us a new face/sculpt because of course bardock looks like goku but he also looks like himself. I hope people get my point. I didn’t want a situation where we basically got goku with a scar because bardock looks the same as goku but completely different in his physical presence. Banging job!

[@LT200913]

Bardock's hair sculpt is actually accurate because there are subtle differences between his and Goku's. Their hair styles are not exactly the same as people like to think.

[@scottloring6188]

Agreed

[@LT200913]

@@JustHazzo I mean when you say "look the same" you're right but the key difference which again I say is only subtle and slight is that Bardock has more bangs that drape over and his hair is more wild looking...

[@LT200913]

Other merchandise of Bardock such as the figure-rise version has same the hair-sculpt like this figuart does.

[@Drowned_King]

@@LT200913 I wouldn’t want him looking “exactly” like goku , bardock is a warrior hardened through battles yes he does look like goku but he also looks like his own person

[@TMDemi]

@@JustHazzo it technically is the same hair just a new sculpt of it my guy and a better sculpt at that And they are figures not drawings So not everything is gonna be truly accurate to the source materal Especially the heights of each individual figure

[@eligamerman]

As I always say, thanks for the thorough review bro! I'm just SO glad we finally got Bardock in SHF form, glad they went with a new nice looking sculpt as well! Definitely one of the Figuarts I'm looking most forward to 😄 Thanks again and stay safe my friend!

[@eightysixedreviews]

Cheers mate! Always good to you in the comments!

[@LawHasFlow]

Just got my Bardock from the NYC Tamashii Pop up shop and I’m so happy I got this figure, you can really tell how new it is when you hold it in hand it literally doesn’t feel like the other figures, can’t wait to see how raditz holds up next month, along with your review of him.

This other one new one is really awesome too The classic look and Saiyan form kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5DQhphqbJp6jLs 👍

[@NeoSlashott]

The armor itself is very nice with contrast of matte and gloss, it almost like shiny black-shell mixed with matte fabric layering.

[@hermanhartono1897]

Thtas really some nice poses, and you captured the faces really nice. All of his faces photos shown in the internet (even Bandai) was very wonky, glad you give him justice.

Very appreciative of you knocking out these quality reviews so consistently after a release. Always great to see!

Very appreciative of your support and comments mate!

[@thedubbub316]

I’m really impressed with this figure! I’m curious if Goku faceplates can work on this hair sculpt. It looks really cool! Awesome review!

[@eightysixedreviews]

Unfortunately they don’t fit. The bangs are raised a little too high to accommodate for the banner so there’s a bit of a gap. Ill take some pictures and post them on my Instagram

[@myleshancock9164]

Awesome review man! Wow, the sculpt looks amazing, especially the new arms they gave him. They sure are poppin' 💪💪💪💪

[@eightysixedreviews]

Thanks Miles! Good to see you here!

[@variablex]

i agree im glad there is some sort of effect piece, kind of wish it had more of a flare to it though? like an extra swirl piece ( so that its kind of like naruto rasengan effect) or pieces to make it look like it's bursting light. Overall though, i'm impressed, and cant wait for mine! also the hands look really nice! particularly the open splayed out hands, they look way more natural. always found the ones with goku and vegeta look kind of off or awkward.

[@Zapdos536]

I’m choosing over bardock or orange piccolo what would you guys recommend

[@godskira_9000]

Excellent review, this is a top figure for 2021, classic bardock is the most badass characters for the anime, and finaly had a very decently representation in articulated figure!

[@rocknh3923]

This other new bardock is really good too, and the customized classic green to it made it extra cool kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5DQhphqbJp6jLs Another good option if into bardock and collecting 👍

Little bit late but I just bought mine today for the collection, very excited, great review keep it up!

[@eightysixedreviews]

Thank you mate!

[@Cinderkin]

I love this channel and your reviews, I appreciate the more positive centred focused content. Lots of reviews come off whiny and negative 90% of the time. Always a little Jealous I don't live in Japan or have friends there who can get me figures at retail price and near release window. Gotta wait till April for this figure :( still waiting on my Kid Gohan, and Jiece figures due to release dates.

[@eightysixedreviews]

Cheers mate! I really appreciate that and thank you for your support too! Yeah it’s a nice little perk about living in Japan!

[@kivaHBRO_04]

Hopefully maybe a recolor during an event would be nice were the lime green color would be more of a darker shade of green.

[@redajun2593]

My Bardock has left Hong Kong and is on its way to Australia, can't wait to get him. Love the review again I really enjoy your reviews. Are you going to purchase the remaining ginyu force members? even though they cost an arm and a leg?

[@9VK7]

Just pre-ordered mine. I live in the UK so this figure hasn't released here yet. Think I'm gonna take a break from buying these figuarts because I'm running out of shelf space 🤣

[@dbz-dredd255]

They really need to do a re-release of the goku saiyan raised on earth with dragonball saiyan arc kind of shading and changes to the eyes and changes to the headsculpt like they did to this bardock. It wouldn't hurt to resculpt other parts of the body too like make the muscles more round like they were in the show with little shadings on the muscles!

[@9VK7]

Just got mine a few days ago, he looks great. The bicep swivels are super tight though! Are both of your bicep swivels clicky? One of mine is but the other is dead silent. Great figure though and a boss review!

[@eightysixedreviews]

Yeah, the biceps are a little tight on mine too. Just gotta be careful with them I guess. I little heat might loosen them up thought!

[@prokyon_boy3593]

[@leatherhitman7401]

Leg/Arm warmers. The show *WAS* around in the 90's, tail end of the eighties, so we can see wear a little of the times was shown when he was drawn up.

[@eightysixedreviews]

Haha! Very true

[@wayne_collectors]

been waiting for this!

[@XYjujuPSN]

This is random but did you ever do a review on figure-rise SSJ4 Gogeta??? I know I seen the speed build but was hoping for a review and your thoughts.

[@eightysixedreviews]

I didn’t but I think it’s one of the best FR kits. I was in the middle of customizing it but never got around to finishing it. I might review once it’s finished. It’s a great model kit with som great energy effects and the head sculpt is excellent.

[@XYjujuPSN]

@@eightysixedreviews Nice! Thanks! I was holding off for a while on pre ordering it here in the US but I pulled the trigger and got it from bigbadtoystore... I usually get only s.h figuarts but they hadnt made a ssj4 gogeta (yet) and I seen you had a speed build on this guy. Im so excited!

[@eightysixedreviews]

@@XYjujuPSN It's a good one so I hope you enjoy it! Also if you can, get some matte clear coat. It goes a long way and makes it look a tone better if you don't plan to paint it up.

[@for_the_republic2683]

Where do people find these cool effect pieces? Also do the faces work with goku heads?

[@The_token__black]

Bardock has my favorite hair out of all shf

[@CMCustom112]

Impressive. Waiting for Ami to charge me. Had to go from DHL to slowboat because Im broke. Hope to get it in a month or two.

[@mikepolson5697]

I cannot wait!! I live in the states and gahhhhh time needs to hurry

[@Theforgottencollector]

Accurate or not, that new hairsculpt was a great choice by them. It really suits his character. But I still don't understand why the ankles use a double ball peg rather than a hinge.

[@Theforgottencollector]

@Steve Vento Not on all their figures, other lines use a hinge and the trunks figures and the time patroller (trunks legs) uses a hinge. So its not like its a far fetched idea.

[@doclouis4236]

Do you know if Bandai will ever make a King Kai figure?

[@eightysixedreviews]

It’s a possibility!

[@Reconrocket]

I can't wait to get this guy. He looks so good!

[@rocknh3923]

A good review on another good bardock figure kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5DQhphqbJp6jLs Awesome if into collecting 👍

[@edwarudo]

The green on the armor seems alright. Looks similar to the colors on his design in Dragon Ball FighterZ. Excited for mine! I'll finally have my DBfZ main team in figure form

[@TSURUGl]

Yeah the upper bicep cut on mine is also super stiff and creaky. Kinda scary to rotate it

[@eightysixedreviews]

Hey mate! I checked out your review as well! Good stuff!

[@TSURUGl]

eightysixed reviews Oh no wayyy!!! Thanks so much!!!

[@b.l.saiyageek7219]

Hey man.. Great review and figure as well... Cant wait to get mine! Ive seen this review like 3 times already jajaja there is something I would like to ask you.. Maybe for the next review could you show us the butterfly joint better.. Let me explain.. I know it moves..but does it really helps to cross his arms.. Or at least to get them closer.. For instance.. Armored vegeta 2.0 has butterfly joint but it doesnt help much because the way the chesr armor is sculpted.. On the other way the range on the gogeta is just amazing.. Thats what I would love to see in future reviews.. Anyways.. Thanks man.. Cant wait waaa

[@eightysixedreviews]

Great suggestion and of course! I’ll try to show that area a little better next review! Thanks again for watching and your support!

[@NarutoUzumaki-uj3xw]

This figure is really good but can you put any ssj Goku head on him?

[@eightysixedreviews]

Unfortunately the ball joint is way too big to fit any Goku heads.

[@melik_emmanuel]

wasnt sure of buy it, your review made me like it, smirking face convince me XD

[@lost4words91]

Cant wait to get my Hands on this figure

[@briancastaneda5500]

Do any other heads fit on him? I’m curious to know if the neck peg will fit any ssj heads besides trunks,

[@aridbal]

I hope they make a King Vegeta one later in the future

[@MilesBlackStar]

Pre-ordered as I watched this video

[@GroovyDude00]

I ordered from AmiAmi and just got the payment request so thankfully I won't have to wait till February

[@bobdylan1968]

I think bardock from super broly was the superior character. I know people thought bardock was so badass or whatever in his orginal apperances. But the one from super, he's like this calm, seasoned warrior type. And he's intelligent and can just see how his culture has changed, how the air has changed and that the Saiyan's are reaching their end. Not by beating it out of people, but by just being aware. He's a working class saiyan and seemed content with that. That's VERY VERY new for a saiyan in the series and it's cool to see a more down to earth mature character for gokus father and someone who broke the mold of the usual saiyan like goku did again later. And they still had him be the one brave enough to stand up againt frieza knowing they were going to lose. That was cool to see too. In the orginal movie he thought he could win, he was this predictable brute mostly, and then just gets embarassed in the end. Died an arrogant asshole like most Saiyan's we see in the series orginally.

[@thegungerbrospodcast7671]

Ewww no, I'm sorry but Z Bardock is far better than the DBS Bardock in almost every way, both story and character. The new Bardock is literally just Jor-el with Goku hair and had the typical 'not like everyone else' cliche. He's just far more boring and dull compared to the original.

[@legofigurereviews9797]

Man this figure is good

[@enriqueurena91]

Great figure thats for sure, however the biggest con imo is the scouter attachement. They should ve made it differently attached to a different hair piece maybe and adapt to the ear. Right now that huge seam on the ear accessories is atrocious.

[@eightysixedreviews]

Yes, if they could improve on that it would make me less nervous about losing that tiny ear piece too.

[@AnotherRigmarole]

I’m betting we will get a SSJ Bardock and a DBS Bardock eventually.

[@nrmlswitch]

Is the right hand supposed to have the hand joint connected to the hand or removed

[@zojirushi1]

[@trickster398]

I don't know if I'm for it, something just looks off to the design and faces of the character. His boots looks like loafs of bread And the shine on the armor looks more shiny than burters or guldo and. Idk

[@BiBi_Nice]

Bardock doesn't mean that much to me, so I'll pass this one. Next on my list will be Recoome! But the figure looks great and it's cool they made a new body sculpt. Great review as always!

[@gladio8204]

This is definitely the FighterZ color scheme. I looked up his official art from that game and the green is more olive than emerald, and the armor is shiny.

[@rocknh3923]

This custom one is on spot kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5DQhphqbJp6jLs 👍

[@zojirushi1]

Any issues with the joints? People are saying the neck peg broke and that the figure is super tight compared to previous releases.

[@eightysixedreviews]

I know JP had issues with his but so far so good for mine. Just if you try to remove the head, I would heat it up first. It’s on there pretty tight.
