This is hands down my favorite look for Goku. I like the puffy muscles, made him look like an absolute juggernaut. Seeing Goku belt out lines like "Now DIEEEEEEE!!!!" was eerie, after seeing how merciful and jocular Goku always was. Great to see that this figure is mostly solid.

This is the way goku looks in his battle with frieza on namek. Both goku and frieza were at max muscle size. Even training during the cell games their muscles got huge. But they realized muscle size was a down grade because of loss of speed. So they focused on power over strength and slimmed down considerably.

Goku is my absolute favourite anime character, and so this figure is a must-buy for me, personally. The objective criticisms are valid (namely the wide hips and the abs plastic tank top chest), but those animadversions are not enough to detract from buying this figure for myself. I bloody love the figure! Excellent review, Mister Anthony! 👍 Merry Christmas to you and your family, Giovanni Marino, M.D.🇬🇧

I’ve been looking forward to this figure since it was revealed, but I was worried after getting the Guts figure. I’m relieved that this one is actually a solid release, I can usually live with minor issues but if it’s something that ruins the aesthetic then I’m not happy. This is probably my favorite look for Goku, this is the version that I first saw when getting into DBZ as a kid and I cannot wait for mine

Absolutely top notch anatomical and sculpt knowledge, honestly haven't seen any other reviewer on your level on YT rn with your level of insight on the matter. Looking at Awakening and UI, they never made the hips like that, so that's a pretty curious decision to me on their part. Also, I know you said that this figure is super different compared to Awakening, but I wonder if the parts are swappable. Thinking that combining them would make a hell of a Super Saiyan Goku for the ultimate Namek showdown recreation.

Yuss! This is the only Sh. Figuarts DBZ FIGURE I have ordered. I ordered this one as it’s from my favourite point in the entire series. The hair I think is the best way they have done for a Super Saiyan. The wide hips, I hadn’t noticed but since it has been pointed out, it makes sense as to why the proportions looked off. Looking forward to when mine is delivered. Thank you for the detailed review.

Sorry gotta call bs until we see proof, Chief. This is the same as how people claim the Q1 2924 re-release of Figuarts “3.0” Future Trunks will have fixed all QC issues. Do people understand its cost for companies to do this on a large scale? If Bandai cares about their reputation, they might do it, but fat chance. After all, they make too much money doing what they do, because most reviewers (let alone collectors) don’t call them out like Anthony.

the torso thing where its made out of the same pvc as the rest and it just sleeved onto the skeleton is something i really hope ban dai do,its just gonna look much better and even putting the color matching aside it will put an end to the seem along the side of the torsos which on figurats (less lately but still) a lot of the times feel like its just gonna split apart , it would help the asthetics way more and will make the figures themselves more durible and feel more robust

Figure is pretty awesome imo but wish he had a little more neck and the faces on mine kinda detach once the head is bent forward, might not be common issue but still regardless of all this, it was really good surprise after that horrendous Trunks 😖😖 also was kinda bummed about the discoloration on the chest when I saw pictures online but it's not that noticeable in hand

Idk who's saying he's not supposed to be this bulky. Towards the end of the fight, after Frieza throws the death ball into the planet. Goku is drawn and animated with just as bulky muscles as Full Power Final Form Frieza. The hair looks fine, but I do agree it looks a bit better on the Awakening SS Goku figure cause of it being a bit wider at the bottom as Anthony says.

The few criticisms you made I think are nice but a bit picky I think when it comes to the butterfly joints, because he has a “bulky” build I personally don’t expect him to put his arms all the way across his chest when fully extended. You can get a “cross arm” poise if you adjust it accordingly, but if you’ve ever seen buff body builder try and fold their arms…well.. it’s very interesting to see lol Also the hair color is the same as the promo pics on the package, the lighting they used blows out the shading, HOWEVER I will say the largest pic and a couple others on the back does make it seem like there is no shading on the front hair piece. Paint-apps wise, I think the blank PVC plastic and little to no shading is what they’ve done for the last 3 years outside of a few select figures. I think it works cause if you really want shading on his skin then..well you’ll have to do it yourself or add those blood, bruising mark w/ more detail like how Gunpla kits work. Not saying it’s a cop out for them but if that transparent yellow paint ont he shoes is any indication…I just don’t trust Tamashi yet to really nail detailed paint-apps like that any time soon. Even tho I’m sure they could do it. Would probably drive the price up, which most already feel they have been doing for many releases outside of the basic ones. Outside of that, this review was very nice and informative, with a bit of that Anthony-touch I enjoy. For me this figure is a solid 8.5/10 Some of the changes you noted, esp with the wide hips and butt Wish it came with an angry Kamehameha effect(the one he killed Frieza with) but that also would drive price up and prob end up being a Bandai Premium like full power Frieza. Thank you Anthony, and happy holidays!! 🎄

Actually, if you have muscular hypertrophy of your hip flexors, they can get quite big at the top of the leg. Common if you do a lot of situps or other exercises requiring you to bend your legs upwards. I could imagine Goku getting a lot of hypertrophy after all that time under high gravity since it would stress a lot of those muscle groups. Okay, I'll stop now.

A few weeks ago I went to my local comic store and purchased the ssj full-power Goku and when I went home and unboxed it all but one of his faces just looked off. the eyes were weirdly placed either too close together or too far apart. he was also a bit too lanky for my personal liking along with bad articulation. Which is why I'm thinking of buying this figure instead. As your average consumer I really don't mind if his middle torso is a little different in skin tone you could just say it is a tan mark and as for the thighs you wouldn't really notice it unless you really observed the fig. Def excited to cop.

Great review & commentary as always.This Goku is definitely shorter, height wise, than his other variants by SHF and I've noticed alot of collectors/ customizers online have actually made some custom, longer, neck pegs using 3D resin printers, which actually appear better overall when looking at a side-by-side, before/after shot. So when my beefy boy finally arrives, I'm thinking my next move will be the neck upgrade, and then I'll look into the chest upgrade pieces, which can stretch him upwards a tad as well.

Ok- I’ve seen/heard soooo many reviewers mention the Vietnam & Chinese factory. TLDR: quality diff btwn China & Vietnam MFg. is a myth. The majority of a SHF figure is manufactured in China using cheap labor, finished in Vietnam to skirt tarrifs on Chinese imports, then exported. Any “quality discrepancy” between The Vietnam factory vs Chinese factory is coincidental. Like most other manufacturers who have moved to Vietnam, the actual amount of production done there is miniscule. Due to trade restrictions & other legislation passed circa 2018-2020, Chinese produced imports to the US we’re restricted and/or faced higher tariffs(the cost to export a good into another country for sale).To skirt these trade restrictions, companies that manufacture products in China moved some production to Vietnam. Generally, the majority of the labor is still done in China to save costs, sent to Vietnam to be “finished” so that they can slap the “Made in Vietnam” on it and then send it to their distributors.
@AnthonysCustoms
@AnthonysCustoms Жыл бұрын
Your logic would mean all of their product would go through Vietnam first. It doesn't. Also, shipping to Vietnam first world cost more. Unless you have an actual source for this info, it sounds completely made up and wrong. I do agree that the Vietnam factory isn't consistently lower quality. I just don't think it's for the reasons you suggest.

I’d take offense at the accusation of sources, but it’s youtube(I don’t comment often) so I understand why you’d call BS w/o them. Professional. I also appreciate you taking time to respond. I’d also like to say I’m sorry- the way you presented the “China vs Vietnam factory” in this video(that it’s a crapshoot with either) is correct. IMO. I’m sorry if my language was so ambiguous to give you the implication that all products would go through Vietnam. As the figure moves through production, near-finished products are shipped to either a Chinese or Vietnamese factory. So, Why would the company even bother selling goods with “Made in China”- depends on the nature of tariffs & US trade laws- how they’re meant to be understood and how they’re meant to be carried out. It could be a cap on the amount of a particular type of good. It could be a ban or an increased tax. Sources:(skip to bottom first) Sorry for the links- couldn’t get to embed via my phone 3 articles related to the movement of supply chains & production from China to Vietnam: Journal of Indo-Pacific Affairs July-August 2022(published on/sourced from media.defense.gov) “ The US China trade war: Vietnam emerges as the greatest winner” media.defense.gov/2022/Jul/31/2003046339/-1/-1/1/17%20KWON_COMMENTARY.PDF South China Morning Post 04-23-23 (The SCMP has been suspect for an increasingly more PRO-PRC leanings for about 10 years now- so this article is rather telling) “Chinese companies are moving supply chains out of China to manage risks, with India, Malaysia and Indonesia benefiting” amp.scmp.com/news/asia/south-asia/article/3218025/chinese-companies-are-moving-supply-chains-out-china-manage-risks-india-malaysia-and-indonesia UCLA Andersen Review 8-23-23 “In U.S.-China Trade War, Bystander Countries Increase Exports” anderson-review.ucla.edu/in-u-s-china-trade-war-bystander-countries-increase-exports/ Reuters 1-10-19 Vietnam to crack down on Chinese goods relabeled to beat U.S. tariffs www.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN1TB0HY/ - this one proves that it’s happening with some goods Reuters 1-15-2024 Specifically mentions Bandai’s production Toy manufacturers' shift from China is no child's play www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/toy-manufacturers-shift-china-is-no-childs-play-2024-01-15/ -Bandai’s main supply chain is in China with intentions to move to other countries due to the risk of currently NEGLIGIBLE tarrifs on toy imports as long as China retains its PNTR status POLITICO 12-04-23 “House China Committee mulls recommending repealing permanent normal trade relations with China” subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2023/12/house-china-committee-mulls-repealing-permanent-normal-trade-relations-with-china-00129942 - Uncertainties regarding China’s PNTR status I don’t have anything that specifically says “they’re likely using Chinese labor for the majors of production, then sending it to Vietnam for boxing and export in order to, legally, avoid US duties on imports” . I think, given the above, we can draw the following conclusions that are at least somewhat pertinent to the QC discussion & Bandai production: -Bandai has a supply chain and produces items or components in a variety of Southeast Asian countries, including China and Vietnam -Their appears to be a major focus for many companies to move out of China and “de-risk”(due to trade war, possible end to tariff freeze, geo-political tensions) -Problem: Increased Chinese labor costs Solution: Companies are finding cheaper labor in other Southeast Asian countries Like I said, can’t prove it, and to my knowledge it’s not illegal- but it’s possible. I’d certainly think it’s safe to say the raw material extraction, parts manufacturing, product assembly, detailing, packaging shipping/export of the figures is likely done throughout Southeast Asia. During the end of production it ends up in a Vietnamese or Chinese factory, packaged w/ a label for “made-in (respective country)” and then sent out to its next destination. IMO-The QC issues are mainly design issues- which you regularly point out- and I don’t think that has anything to do with the factory location. So I guess I agree with you after all lol PS: You’re my “go-to” reviewer of SHF DBZ/GT/S figures, love that you set the bar high. Keep up the good work

Merry Christmas, Anthony! Thanks for all the helpful and knowledgeable reviews. Your videos always keep me entertained and my wallet isn't as empty as it used to thanks to you, lol. Best wishes to you and your family! I'm still waiting for my Goku to arrive. Ordered it from AmiAmi and they have been super slow to ship stuff lately. I was aware of the chest thingy but it doesn't really bother me at all. I can definitely ignore most of its problems since it looks like a way better release than Guts... That figure was awful though, so anything would look way better tbh.

Great review only thing is the butterfly joints even tho they are recessed that main part of the shoulder is almost a free floating piece and the joint its attached to actually does pull out a substantial amount giving them alittle more range than you showed. idk if that make sense if not sorry. I thought it was pretty cool that that the the blue wristband sections are free floating so they can swivel to compensate for those dynamic wrist movements. And the waste part is free floating on minre not glued i thought it was odd the clear plastic guard that they comes on almost all there figures new was actually tucked under the belt section and the waist rather than under the chest and abs split.

I prefer this specific version of Goku to be extra buff like he is here, but usually I'm ok with the more lean look the god forms have. Also, any early thoughts on the upcoming Mecha Frieza or Namek Vegeta?

Would it be possible to put the upper body on the waist/hips of the Saiyan Raised on Earth Goku (or any other 2.0 equivalent) and swap the legs onto that figure as well so it doesn't have the butt cheek sculpt limiting it?

Love this figure, and I got two - one to pose and another to be in the box. I don’t agree that it’s a 10 like most reviewers, when the chest color variance is noticeable even during their reviews along with the glistening faceplates! However, I find your final rating harsh, although I can see where you are coming from. Buff Goku all the way. Never a fan of the slimmed-down Super version…outside of the Tournament of Power.

That chest piece is odd. The one i have is identical color, but that's probably just the lighting I have. I think some of them are different colors from the factory though, I've seen some that are way off, but others are the same color
@AnthonysCustoms
@AnthonysCustoms Жыл бұрын
That difference is the lighting for sure. There's not going to be any significant factory variance within a single production run.
