[@dstr001]

The fact that theyve now made two exclusive Gokus with better face apps than the original figure theyre based off is an absolute travesty imo. The Og fpssj Gokus faces are horrendous in comparison. Im glad DF gave us alternatives with their version of the ssj2 Goku.

[@jvandenbrink1756]

You can use the gokus soul hair for ssjb goku

[@LT200913]

Yeah, that hair swap looks spot on with the new repainted figure. I'm bitter we lost the SS Gohan hair with this one and would of been nice if they decided to just repaint the hair into a base form one because this damaged version of Gohan did temporarily revert back to base form when Goku sacrificed himself

[@oozaru9721]

At the bottom of the “how to purchase” page says “Exclusives will be also available at Premium Bandai for pre-order later on”

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Yes. The website was updated since filming

[@Harryerpoow]

Omg Ty I will be there

[@royal5922]

I like this set. If a scene is as iconic as this one it's definitely worth getting a figure of it. I was gonna pass on this but seeing it in hand makes me want it. Goku is really cool looking and a really unique part of a collection. I think goku is more popular overall but gohan is more popular in the fanbase. That head swap looks awesome!

[@NaiveSteve]

These event exclusives are really ramping up. Before it used to just be repaints that were easy to pass on but now we are getting stuff that is so hard to pass on and even some new molding (kid gohan)

[@hbsfiguresefandoms]

I think that's a cool figures set! By the way, what an amazing review! The attention to detail and articulation on these figures is absolutely stunning. I appreciate the thoroughness and the way he showcases the figures' unique features. This review has definitely piqued my interest and now I can't wait to add these figures to my own collection. Another fantastic review. Keep up the great work!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Glad you like the video

[@InfiniteZamasu]

Was planning to put the old hair on the EE as well! Did the same thing with the OG Awakening Goku and the new World Tour one and it looks so much better

[@Turtle9013]

That hair swap just completely sold me! Let fn go. Ot a fan of translucent hair

[@snakeshadowcollectibles6835]

I whish that they would paint blood in the battle damaged versions. I suppose that they are avoiding that just like Dragon Ball Super.

[@hasbrosucks6033]

Just like you like "Ghostku" for its translucency, many of us really want your ninja figure from Rival Collectible to be clear translucent plastic as well. Really work as an army builder, cheap on your end to produce as well (I think). Fit with my Marvel Legends line. Perhaps, you should poll the fan. Good luck and I look forward to the launch of your line, will definitely support it!

[@gall9had]

the moment they announced that gohan i had the idea for that hair swap so glad to actually see it come true it looked amazing

[@daviid_ee]

That is an iconic moment in Dragon Ball history, so I am all in for this set. I missed on that Gohan, so I would get it in a heart beat...if they put it on P-bandai.

[@TeamDbz]

Confirmed to be put on PBandai we can all snag this beautiful set now 👌

[@FireBomberBassist]

Its cool and perfect for an event exclusive just being a depiction of one scene. Not that you couldn’t get creative and use it for more things.

[@MrKevinMeow]

Had to choose between preordering this set or Majin Vegeta due to both figures going online at the same time on the Chinese Tamashi store. Ended up preordering this because of your review. Both were sold out within 2 seconds lol, didn't stand a chance to preorder Majin V as well.

[@Emeraldnite-if7vo]

I remember not being too interested in the first release because I already had the original teen Gohan figure, then later regretting it. Glad this is coming back around and that P-Bandai will be offering it on their site so I can get it eventually.

[@Salnts1]

Do u know when it will be on P bandai ?

[@Emeraldnite-if7vo]

@@Salnts1 They announced preorders would open in August.

[@LCollects]

@@Emeraldnite-if7voonly ordered from there once for beastgohan would the exclusives also take months to get here? Or less since they already have them?

[@Emeraldnite-if7vo]

@@LCollects Usually when they make event exclusives available on P-Bandai it is a pre-order to allow them time to make more of the figures. I would expect to get the figures in half a year after pre-ordering them (same as pre-orders for newly announced figures).

[@sharingansasuke5]

Thank god peg hands and effect parts are standard now because it’s just superior in every way to non peg ones.

[@oscar_editz]

The original hair with this exclusive really is something awesome

[@supervegeta881]

That Goku is awesome, he alone makes the set worth it imo. I wonder if you can take off the head and use it as super saiyan blue hair on a normal goku figure?

[@war77el]

Now, I just need an activated-Godspeed Killua figure that's made the same way as this Teen Gohan. Revo Yamaguchi version of a Killua preferred, though. But I'm the beggar, choosing is out the window, with my wallet.

[@musicfighter282]

Given last year’s exclusive and this year’s, I’m starting to lean toward the idea that SSJ2 should be represented with shiny hair. It fixes the problem of Vegeta not ever getting a unique SSJ2 headsculpt. Of course now I want a Great Saiyaman and DB Super Trunks reissue with shiny hair to round it out.

[@HBRO_04]

9:08 I just wish that hair tone should be the standard super Saiyan hair color. Like the Rose hair sculpt from the original Goku black figure.

[@doctorgiovanni853]

I bloody love this two-pack - certainly an iconic scene in the DBZ anime. For those not in the know, Goku, sacrificing himself for the sake of the Earth, died in the explosion after transporting Perfect Cell to King Kai’s world. Problem is, Cell did not die; Cell returned to Earth to finish off a wounded and exhausted Gohan, who achieved SSJ2. Goku is blue in this set because, dear friends, he is technically a ‘ghost’ (think Force/Spirit Ghost, if you are a Star Wars fan), thus communicating with Gohan in ‘other world.’ The iconic scene that this set is based on represents the Father and son Kamehameha wave that killed Cell. Anthony, brilliant review, mate! 👍 It was excellent! Unfortunately, I live in 🇬🇧, so I will most likely have to track this set down after-market. However, the next time I visit the States (my darling wife is American), I hope to make it to the Comic Con convention. I hear they are a jolly good time. Thank you for sharing, Arrivederci, Giovanni Marino, M.D.

[@Jetblast01]

Wow that painted hair looks so good on the newer body. It was the highlight of the vid.

[@gemininosaga]

I don’t know but I can’t help notice that we didn’t get a regular ssj hair piece. The new Gohan in that specific scene had his left hand seriously damage and that is the point of the one hand kame hame ha. What I’m saying it needed signs of damage on his left hand, even blood.

[@hannahsaphire7643]

I love transparent blue Goku and Anthony

[@lmao_sun]

I can’t wait for them to make a new ssj2 gohan 😮‍💨

[@2735angel]

Is the transparent Goku better in terms of joints than the regular ssj full power one? Literally used that one for spare parts and for a custom because it just was super loose and just broke

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I didn't have any memorable problems with the original but this one seems to be fine

[@tjahjadijudono1074]

I would never be able to get this..thus i thk u for the reviews. Getting this on conventions in Us is not possible, also for crazy price in secondary markets. Hopefully someday they hv these on mainline pipes so i can buy them.😊

[@cmflynn75]

I’m going to have to get 2 of these so I can repaint the hair on 1 of them

[@toyandcollectionnerd]

This is a cool set. I think I might actually buy it.

[@KevinLam86]

The Ghostku is pretty cool.

[@NerdAffiliated]

As a fellow video game opening guy, I love the mode select screen!!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Thanks

[@NerdAffiliated]

@@AnthonysCustoms Great review too! I'm still debating pulling the lever on $90, but I think I'm going to do it!

[@DipperGames420]

I am going to do that hair swap if I manage to get these two. That original damaged Gohan was terrible imo, and the new one isn't entirely an improvement but it's an exclusive and it looks much nicer, so win-win there. Hopefully Vegeta looks good with SS2 Goku despite the inconsistent hair colors.

[@mystic5126]

I’ll buy this Gohan but display him with the old hair it looks so good and anime accurate

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I would suggest that as well

[@wolvesrevenge866]

Wish it was sold on premium bandai at least, I desperately want a good s.h figuarts teen Gohan figure. Def one of my dream figures currently. Edit: if anyone wants him he's in p-bandai now and radiz and Vegeta get him soon

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It will be

[@tony-vz1gu]

The hair swap looks incredible

[@AnthonysCustoms]

it really does

[@thanksgivingh6185]

I like the original Gohan better overall just because I wayy prefer the hair/head. But I think you may be right with that swap being the "definitive version". And with the opposite swap the new head on the old body looks really bad. 😅 I would buy the set if I missed out on the Gohan for sure or if I was into the Force Ghost Goku gimmick, but personally doesn't do much for me. you can do that post just fine with the normal Goku if you wanted and its just not as limited in display options.

[@Oscar20936]

I really want to get them but idk if I can get them online and shipped to me

[@MikeyDLooffy]

I was wondering what that blue Goku was in the thumbnail in his previous video.

[@TurtleCraftZ1]

The joints standing out on Goku is kind of unfortunate, but I'm glad Tamashii had the foresight not to use translucent plastic to make the joints. People already complain enough about the figures having quality issues

[@Preciousroy8383]

I think its pretty sick. Hope premium bandaii comes thru. The 200 dollar aftermarket buy will piss me off.

[@AgentsRyanEli]

AWESOMEEEE!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@SH_Zardy]

It's a cool set, but I think they could've painted a lot more of the scratches on Gohan in, I feel like it was kind of halfway done and not as good as it could be The same goes for the Awakening Super Saiyan Goku repaint that was recently released. This is just my opinion, though.

[@Samson_Quardav]

Great set but all I really want is that ghost/spirit Goku.

[@DemonFromSun]

This gohan and goku is meant for the father son Kamehameha wave scene. That's why they are colored the way they are

[@squilly7]

I need all 3 sets 😭

[@sneekspeek777]

Yh the faces on this new event goku should have been for the full power.

[@mokurai6663]

The recent sh figurarts dbs superhero figures were my first few aside from bardock my bardock broke

[@pbjoey703]

I decided to cancel my order cause I really prefer the other version of gohans hair…the see through style just isn’t working for me.

[@barayouness4917]

Do you think they'll make a 3.0 teen Gohan after the Event Exclusive like they did for Awakening Goku?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

The awakening Goku isn't really the same design. Many figures haven't seen an update after a special paint release. I thinks it's really just a matter of them inevitably making new figures of popular characters more frequently and trying to fund the new mold with desirable repaints for the more dedicated collectors. Last year's repaints didn't get updated versions (not announced yet anyway) so there's really no way to guess

[@zannusx]

I think we will only see an updated undamaged version since we only have a 1.0 for that. I feel this is the last chance at a damaged Gohan.

[@mokurai6663]

Narudy is a cross over between Naruto and chalk zone 😂

[@_underscore1]

wish I could've gone to SDCC 😥

[@ayatokamisato8017]

If they fix goku full power faces like this one, it will be wonderful 😂

[@JodaroKujo]

I NEED IT

[@mystic5126]

Anthony you forgot to mention that the new release doesn’t come with the SSJ Hair sculpt like the original release.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I didn't forget to mention it. I mentioned what this figure comes with. That head makes no sense in this pack.

[@mokurai6663]

:'( I want that Gohan figure so damn bad

[@dankerbell]

real

[@wolvesrevenge866]

Snatch it up as soon as possible i got it immediately since I never had the chance to get ssj2 Gohan, he's been my dream s.h figuarts for a while. So hyped for February. He's 90 bucks with the Goku figure

[@maverickcortez1111]

Why do I prefer the og figures compared to their repainted exclusives? There’s something about the ogs that they can’t just replicate

[@ayan31_08]

the eyes on the new gohan look very cross eyed compared to the old one from the comparison part. Could be the perspective

[@DanB.0]

👍

[@cyberdoge9347]

I cant believe gohan has a stand

Hook us up with a giveaway Mr. Anthony Customs! We love you & as always keep collecting!!!

Mister Anthony you should compare the ghost goku with the full power in terms of face difference

[@goldengenesis6429]

can u put the ssj 1 head on the new gohan

Sure

[@e0are]

Stupid because it’s 1 scene BUT I do want the Goku and not Gohan. I do wish you busted out the other Goku tho

Not a fan of he Super Saiyan hair colors these days… Reminds me of when Bandai makes those translucent Gundams you find 80% off in a clearance bin.

Calling Naruto “Naruti” is crazy

[@warpfrenzy]

I like gohan but don’t care for yet another Goku. I wish I could buy the gohan separately

[@ayan31_08]

I like this set but it baffles how a 2 pack is priced at 90 usd whereas the Vegeta is 75🤨

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Seems like a discount on the 2 pack probably due to goku kinda being an accessory.

[@ayan31_08]

[@AnthonysCustoms]

You don't buy a ticket (except to sdcc}. The ticket ensures you a spot in line. Way better than the chaos it used to be.

[@21s_figs]

I can’t stand the difference in color between the legs and the crotch on Goku. It goes from dark blue to light blue with no fading or anything. Just a hard dark-to-light transition.
