S.H.FIGUARTS DRAGON BALL Z SON GOKU THE LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN Review

[@channelorsomething218]

the chest issue was so overblown by reddit it's genuinely insane

[@riceboycruz1300]

7:26 cat really wanted to say something

[@doroteopratt9147]

The figure is a solid release, the difference in color is little bit of a let down. But we've kinda always had similar issues before. The face seemed a little too reflective kinda like namek krillin. But otherwise amazing!!

[@bobdylan1968]

They ruined it with that face. Idk how why they did that.

[@struggler7164]

​@@bobdylan1968Wtf do you mean ruined? It's accurate to his facial expressions in the manga and anime. Can't believe you're actually hating the figure because it's accurate to the source material.

[@arenoskarlaen4951]

​@@struggler7164 They're not referring to the face sculpt itself, they're referring to it being glossy. Whilst I don't think it ruins the figure, it does look worse than a matte finish.

[@Paranoida]

Nappa, Raditz, Turles, Jiren, Broly. SH Figuarts really shines when it comes to these excessively muscular characters. Great to get a look at the figure under studio quality lighting conditions. Thanks, 86'ed

[@riceboycruz1300]

It's beautiful, was looking forward to seeing your review. This figure surprised me so much with how close it was to the animation as it seemed like it walked straight out of the anime. This would've HAD to be the best Dragon Ball Z release of 2023(-24).

[@TamerChris]

The biggest fault of this figure is how fast it sold out. Tamashii should have line up re-issues immediately after the first batch sold out so that more people can get it. I had to resort to local retailers after it sold out instantly online, and just when it's released, my retailer said my pre-order was cancelled due to low stock, and offered me a outsourced one for a higher price. Safe to say I rejected that scam and asked for refund so that I could get it from Japanese auction sites at a higher price but at least it's not as ridiculously expensive (yet).

[@cruzaderrising5033]

You could just wait, it's a general release and the U.S.A Batch is coming out soon

[@eightysixedreviews]

Agreed!!

[@DapperDan-zx9fu]

I've been waiting for this vid for days now!

[@gkhnfusion5175]

The most Legendary addition to the shf dbz line yet, tamashii did their thing with this figure! I'm so glad to see this review after waiting so long since the first reveal, absolute masterpiece. Amazing review Eighty-sixed, this truly is a gem.

[@DIABOLICAL2010]

Crazy how I remember ur from ace’s streams💀

[@ayan31_08]

This has been my most awaited figure for the year, specially cause i had always the awakening goku but could never get my hands on that for a decent price. So i was beyond happy when they showed this

[@noahlikesturtles8999]

An absolute great figure, the chest problem isn’t that big of a deal and it’s not noticeable in person. Great review!

[@GuyWebz]

The Goku I’ve been really looking forward to the most, can’t wait for mine to come in soon!

[@eligamerman]

Damn this figure looks beautiful! The only thing that would've put it over the top is some shading on the skin but these are probably the best sculpted muscles I've seen on a Figuarts yet. Hope they keep this effort up with future releases as well, love that this Goku looks like he came straight out the anime! Thanks as always for the detailed review bro, really looking forward to messing around with this figure :)

[@eightysixedreviews]

I know you’ll love this one! Always a pleasure eliganerman!

[@Zakjuh]

If I have to nitpick, then the weakest part is probably the ankle range? I hope they find some way to improve on that. Otherwise, it's a really, really great figure, and it's made me even more excited for the inevitable updated base Goku. Hopefully, the faces on that will be just as accurate, and the necks will allow for face swapping between it and this figure. I appreciate that they've tried to work in backwards kicks a bit better compared to the Super Hero Gohan, but I honestly didn't mind too much either way, because the legs have far better outward range than the finicky 2.0 legs, which is more important to me. But good range every way is of course the best way to go. I know a Full Power Frieza is basically already on its way, to the point that they already basically said as much iirc. Personally, I hope we get an updated (slender) Final Form Frieza as well. He held up well for years, but was already was starting to look dated in recent times, but now, surrounded by all the other Friezas, the potential Full Power Frieza, the Mecha Frieza, Final Form Cooler, Meta-Cooler and possibly King Cold and 4th form Cooler in the near future, he's going to look really old.

[@Doombot_]

Hot damn, this figure looks imposing AF! Missed that slim preorder window, but grabbed him off BBTS. So excited to get this in hand. Awesome review AS ALWAYS EightySixed!

[@jayplaytv0840]

This figure looks fantastic, here’s hopeful that we get a proper 3.0 base goku figure!

[@Matt-kw6nx]

Excellent review man, been looking forward to this one. Can't wait to get mine. Based off your review I gotta agree this is the best SHF goku to date

[@minuteman1280]

Best goku action figure ever. especially new shoulder joint changes EVERYTHING.

[@VicMeep]

I woulda loved this thing to heaven and back as a kid. Im totally gonna put it on my wishlist for stuff im gonna buy eventually for stuff i always wanted as a kid, especially SSJ4 Goku when i was 9 💪💛

[@alancantu2006]

7:27-7:30 I can hear your cat lol!!! Fantastic review as always 86’d! Will definitely have to pick this release up myself!

[@TeamSwish66]

Hahahaha get that cat outta there 😂

[@eightysixedreviews]

Haha! Yeah, I had to edit her out but couldn’t cut out the voice! Cheers mate!

[@occisoundead4775]

At last. A muscular Goku that fits with the anime... faces, muscles, proportion, articulation, sculpture. Perfect. It has details but they do not overshadow how well accomplished this Goku is.

[@myleshancock9164]

Always the best reviews out there bro. Thank you so much (still have that SSJ2 beauty of yours). This figure is pretty much perfection. No other figure in the line will match it for me, because IMO Namek SSJ Goku will always be the GOAT Goku. 90's kid logic over here, of course. Also, your cat sounds adorable. Yoroshiku!!!😊

[@eightysixedreviews]

I’ll let her know Miles! Good to see you in the comments as always mate! Thank you!

[@kofsiong]

holy shit, your words (BEST of SHF) gonna make this figure's price increase like hell. the scalpers should be extremely happy right now.

[@ss4goku3000]

Just got mine Monday and wow this fig really lives up to the hype!!

[@Imbabator]

I agree man, this is hands down the best SHF ever. *note that i didnt write dragon ball in purpose

[@eightysixedreviews]

Noted!!! Haha!

[@HyperspaceOriginal]

Even the cat loves it! 7:29

[@stacks9079]

I wish tamashii nations would put out some classic Thundercats in this style!

[@Hellothere_RANDOM]

I would love if tamashi ever decided to release manga colored versions of the dbz line like they did when they first started, also i will definitely getting this figure.

[@Mrhandyhitman]

Hopefully we get a kaioken maxed out goku from when he fought Vageta on earth!

[@RikiToso89]

I love that cat meowing in this review!

[@lazergator1016]

Definitely a solid release and the chest skin tone isn't as bad as i thought it would, is this the best Goku figure maybe?, I do hope to pick this up one day and hoping to see you review that Demoniacal fit Base 3.0 Goku! also I was surprised that the designer of this new Battle Damage SSJ Goku and Trunks also designed Final form Cooler which makes me question what happened to Trunks 2.0s QC?

[@darrenedwarddolhanty6814]

The QC issues on Trunks are caused more so when it’s being assembled at the factory. The designer isn’t really at fault for loose legs and such unless it’s the actual figures design causing it. Also, just passing this info on the new Trunks is a 3.0. The numbers don’t tell if it’s the 1st, 2nd or 3rd release. It’s about the joint system. The new Trunks uses the 3.0 joint tech. This is meant to just be friendly information passed from one collector to another. Sometimes when I do this people take it as an attack. Have a good one bro!

[@fluskas9779]

wow, thank you so much, I was waiting for someone to do this head swap

[@heeroyuy809]

Your the goat of reviewing shf dbz figures mate!! I really love your head swapped segment, i hope i won't see this figure in my way to hobby store here in japan now, i have no work now but if i might see this boi Gamang dekinai!!! Haha

[@eightysixedreviews]

Thanks a ton!

[@InfiniteZamasu]

Just got mine in too, and god damn this thing is a monster! The chest discoloration is not visible in person and I like to think I have pretty good eyes. I still gonna say Frieza 2nd form as FOTY, because I'm biased toward villains, but this Goku is dethroning Turles for 2nd place.

[@CYeoung]

wish the hair didn’t have all the lines in it, that’s not the right art style for this period of the anime

[@Overhaul7978]

This makes me sad he looks so awesome but that chest color difference bothers me it’s ugly 😢

[@andrerafols3292]

Ayy early (I can't wait for this figure)

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

Sculpt work sure is incredible, from the more angular sculpt to the ripped gi and bulkier sculpt. Face sculpts are amazing, yelling head takes the cake but I love that they made the eyes wider for the gritted teeth face & smile face, really makes it more expressive. Bang options too, whilst the main one is my favourite the others look great. I only wish his neck was a little taller, & the overall Goku being taller (idk why they changed that). For paints, absolutely love the shading on the gi but still disappointingly no shading on his skin when the Brolys, FP Jiren, Cooler, and Awakening Warrior ssj Goku show how good the figures look with it, add to that some minor discolouration too ain't great. The real sore thumb though is the incredibly shiny face, I hope in person that's less noticeable. Articulation looks good, upper body pretty much the same with ssj4 except the hinge in the shoulder is bigger and offers more range. The true highlight though is the softer crotch piece allowing his legs to finally move back again. Thigh cut though is worse but more seamless so tit-for-tat. Ankle articulation seems worse going forward than ssj4 but otherwise the same ankle rocker so I'm happy there. Provided the shininess of the face and body discolouration isn't too apparent this is probably the new best figuarts Goku beating out ssj4. I'd still say Turles is my favourite figure of the year but this guy is a strong number 2 potentially. Only wish these figure released worldwide same time, just got Orange Piccolo and this guy ain't coming until February.

[@stacyjackson1255]

Both looks are accurate it’s just one is earlier in the fight with frieza and the other (no shirt) is later on in the fight. The boots though are more accurate and the other is manga based (2.0). He’s such a lovely figure though!

[@FireBomberBassist]

Man it looks good. Need a full power Frieza to go with it.

[@bobmckendick7634]

Your wish has been granted, farewell!

[@jorgerincon6874]

Today I pre-ordered mine, it arrives in a month and I'm inpatient 😅

[@fabiorodrigues890]

Figure looks great, but to me its a little too bulky specially those huge shoulders and to looks even more strange, it looks like they have no neck and any head looks to small in that huge body and thick neck😂. I think not even base Broly have such bulky look. Anyway except those different skin colors all over the figure, it looks great. Great review mate, and thanks for showing us all those head swaps

[@struggler7164]

Those shoulders of his are accurate to the manga and anime

[@JoshuaAdrover-uc1io]

It’s a OKAY figure. I just don’t like how overly buff it is. It makes the figure look kinda weird and a little awkward, but it’s honestly really cool and I’d probably just buy it to pose and that’s it.

[@privateprivate31337]

Amazing figure but I don't know how to display him along side awaking Goku, they are both the same figure, just 10 mins later apart

[@pokeman5699]

18:00 just "okay"? my brother in Christ, that head+body combo looks great look up images of the original super saiyan transformation chapter on Namek the relatively lanky proportions complement the classic puffy SS1 hairstyle perfectly

[@eightysixedreviews]

Then great it is!!!

[@pokeman5699]

@@eightysixedreviews good review btw :)

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

Articulation is better than what I expected. Still not keen on the 3.0 crotch setup, but I'm glad we get *some* backwards movement in the legs. Plus, Goku finally gets good ankle articulation! The ball joints just felt dated, and Gohan didn't use them and was so much more fun to pose as a result. Keen to get mine in the next few days.

[@rodimussupreme2329]

They changed the pelvis and hips of the 3.0 design when they shouldn’t have, though. SSJ4 Goku and Super Hero Gohan had the perfect engineering for those parts. Then Trunks came along and they changed it for that for that figure and it doesn’t work as well.

[@InfiniteZamasu]

The ankles on this Goku are still the only 'issue' I have with the figure, if I can even call it an issue. The knot of his shoelace thingies kinda gets in the way.

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

@@rodimussupreme2329 hard disagree. Super Hero Gohan's legs barely go back.

[@H-When]

Get ready for more mismatched colored figures in the future. They're really getting away with this one. Especially on such a major release.

[@SriMJ54]

You're not wrong. But this is not the first, we already got a few of them in the line on popular characters like Gotenks. (That's an extreme case.) The shiny chest is very much visible on the MUI Goku, and the shiny/oily face is noticeable on the 3.0 Krillin. Even SSJ4 has multiple different colors of red, but it's almost inconspicuous on camera. The finish could've been better, and any shading would've made it look more premium. (Those are the reasons I think that the Full Power Jiren and Dragon Ball Super Broly didn't have these aesthetic issues although the plastic colors are distinct.) We know modern Bandai, P-Bandai release or not - no shading unless it's an overpriced exclusive edition, and no matte finish until they randomly chose to pick a character and apply. The QC inconsistency in this line since 2019 or so is why I'm not invested in the line anymore. (I'm glad that this isn't a QC nightmare like the 3.0 Future Trunks. I'm waiting for my copy to arrive later this week, or the next.)

[@H-When]

I stand semi-corrected, it's alright in person. Although it'll always be at the back of the mind

[@quintonbrooks7536]

Good review this is figure of the year and is it on Amazon

[@ziggyreaburn6726]

Actually all the hands are reused sculpts. They're based on the ones from Jiren which I think was the earliest figure that had them. Both super brolys, raditz, cooler, turles, 3.0 gohan, beast, ssj4 goku and more all had them. Although ssj4 vegeta and the new trunks have the slighly different open hands as well.

[@eightysixedreviews]

I gotta go back and look at all those release! Good to know though! Thank you for that!

[@ziggyreaburn6726]

No I got that wrong full power broly was first. Also I missed a few but almost all the 3.0 figs have them

[@GoofyPoptart]

Sadly it's sold out on BBTS now, I pre ordered then thought about saving my $ and cancelled...I went back on that decision again and by a stroke of luck I pre ordered it again and it was 2 day's later last week it said "Sold out" I was like Damn!!!

[@td19589]

does it bother anyone else that bandai isn't matte coating their figures anymore? It's just a simple thing but that shine on the faces looks really bad and we shouldn't have to do it ourselves..

[@Saiyan1229]

Ive noticed it seems to be more occuring on their taiwan and vietnam factory figures. The china ones always got that matte finish.

[@skysucker4251]

18:41 I bet if you twisted his arms inward at the bicep swivel some, it might make them look less slender and restore a little more proportion with that big-ass head. :)

I don’t know if I like the back of the leg joints or not. I don’t have yet so not sure if it’s functionally better but I don’t really like the large cutouts. 2:26

I live in Japan so we get it a little earlier than other parts of the world. It’s usually Hong Kong, then Japan then the rest of the world. People buy from online import stores like AmiAmi which are based in Japan. So they ship when it releases here.
