    Hey man! Awesome review as always! I was wondering if you could maybe do an update on the top 10 shf? Would be cool for new collectors to know which figures they should get

  • @Papan01
    @Papan01 Před 2 lety +31

    I think the metallic hair works better for this form because of the lightning aura. They are supposed to shine

  • @XaeroGravity
    @XaeroGravity Před 2 lety +10

    You totally blew my mind, I had no idea the legs were able to pop off like that. My Full Power Goku was a loose mess in his left leg, and thanks to you I was able to pop it off and thicken up the ball joint itself, and now it's so much more sturdy. So thank you for showing us that

    @Jedhar Před 2 lety +12

    This is a really good figure, but for me UI Goku is my favorite, especially because avoid the shoulder/butterfly unpainted problem with that floating piece that doesn't look too good.

  • @X_Gon_Give_It_To_Ya
    @X_Gon_Give_It_To_Ya Před 2 lety +5

    I've been waiting forever for them to make this. My favorite Super Saiyan form of Goku. I'd like to imagine Goku's screaming face is him yelling at Kid Trunks to hurry up and find the Dragon Radar lol.

  • @joehodgson9217
    @joehodgson9217 Před 2 lety +5

    I prefer the flat colors for the hair, but metallic isn't bad. I do like it here as a way to differentiate the form from the standard super saiyan since super saiyan 2 isn't that different looking on Goku. And it looks nice here and should display well with that aura effect. Also of note, Bandai is putting the convention exclusives on their site on Monday. It might just be whatever is leftover, or could be something more robust, they haven't said, but for those wanting this and the others check on Monday.

  • @pluszowyprezes
    @pluszowyprezes Před 2 lety +5

    I just hate those shoulders with burning passion. It's the main reason why I'm skipping on most of SHF Goku figures and still waiting for new body.

  • @friendlyneighborhoodcollec5928

    I think I prefer the platinum blonde look honestly.
    If this figure had the washed out blonde without the metallic look, I think it would be better personally. Great review as always Anthony.

  • @craigjuan5744
    @craigjuan5744 Před 2 lety +6

    I really wish I was at the convention right now. This would've been one of the figures I'd pick up for sure. I need Super Saiyan 2 Goku to complete my collection of all his main forms. I hope they do make him available for pre-order on Premium Bandai or other sites.

  • @ginjoo8433
    @ginjoo8433 Před 2 lety +15

    I prefer the platinum blonde, flowing hair of his original ssj transformation. I don't like the each individual spike lineart and yellowness of his hair later in the series. I feel like the flowy-ness of the original gives more of a feeling that he's flowing with energy. It's more of an ethereal look.

    • @strawhatpro
      @strawhatpro Před 2 lety +2

      I think SSJB should have gone back to this style. Would’ve been a cool callback and would suit the ‘godly’ transformation it’s supposed to be. Also, it’d make it more distinct from modern SSJ1

    • @christopherkinsella3912
      @christopherkinsella3912 Před 2 lety +1

      For real, hair in the early series and manga used to have movement, as hair would. Modern art styles basically have them wearing spikey hats. It looks stiff and cheap.

  • @xeanheart
    @xeanheart Před 2 lety +3

    My preference on the hair colors for the Super Saiyan Whatever figures is basically the reverse of yours. I love the transparent and metallic hairs. Flat color hair is perfectly fine too as long as it's not the candy corn shading that some of the figures have gotten. Some argue that the translucent/metallic hairs are just a gimmick, but ya know what? It's a gimmick that I really like.
    Anyway, really hoping that all of these figures become available on Bluefin or P-Bandai because they are GORGEOUS!

  • @Chilled_Revenant
    @Chilled_Revenant Před 2 lety +10

    Depending on the form. Goku Super Saiyan awakening I like it to be the pale yellow. For Ss2 I think if they did flat yellow with orange shading. And then ss3 I think metal flake works fine. Personally I do prefer the flat yellow vs the shiny gold. But metal flake isn’t terrible

  • @raymondberioso4678
    @raymondberioso4678 Před rokem +1

    Good review.
    It's funny I just realized that we could've gotten a SSJ2 Goku years ago if Bandai just made that front hairpiece and included it in any of the previous Super Saiyan Goku releases. By noooo... they had to make it an event exclusive that would cost 3 to 4x what it would cost if it were a regular release.

    • @dankerbell
      @dankerbell Před 5 měsíci

      well ssj2 has spikier hair throughout than ssj1, it's not just the bangs that are different

  • @brandonburgos1215
    @brandonburgos1215 Před 2 lety +1

    So Goku’s hair color when it comes to SSJ, SSJ2, and SSJ3 has nothing to do with time period. It’s whether he has his aura active or not. When the aura is active, the hair is yellow/ orange, when it’s inactive, the hair is platinum blonde. You can see this all across Z, for every Super Saiyan. Hope that clears things up. (Also the face with the gritted teeth is from what this model is based on, the panel in the manga where he turns SSJ2 for the first time. That’s also why he has the halo and the torn Gi)

  • @Rs3mocha
    @Rs3mocha Před 2 lety +2

    woot i just got this figure. my friend went to sdcc san diego and got this for my msrp
    he also got himself shenron madara and a picollo..... yea i know he wanted the piccollo
    but he choose not to get buu and 16! man i wish he got me buu. he tried to pick it up later but the lines got too insane. oh well im super stoked i got my ssj2 goku for msrp

  • @btby1000

    Looks great. Can't wait to get mine.
    And I have no issues with the hair color on here. It looks good to me!
    I like the metallic look, the flat look if it's painted right. I don't dig the translucent hair tho.

  • @treyvonishere4375
    @treyvonishere4375 Před 2 lety +2

    Bro oh my god he blows the original out of the water. Not a big feat that was a terrible figure but man I wish they went up on Premium Bandai like last years. I kinda wish he came with a SSJ1 bang piece to swap with but I think he’s great as is. He’s definitely grail number 2 for me along with Ultra Instinct Sign Goku.

  • @Markysharky35
    @Markysharky35 Před rokem +1

    Just got mine, gotta say be careful. The face plates on mine were super loose and would fall off constantly along with the neck being loose as well. In the process of trying to get a refund right now.

  • @SH_Zardy
    @SH_Zardy Před 2 lety +2

    I think the teeth gritting face might be his surprise that Vegeta went SSJ2 as well. For real though, I seriously hope these aren't SSDC exclusives because I'm really interested in Goku and Android 16 lol.

  • @SoftEndy
    @SoftEndy Před 2 lety +1

    I prefer the platinum blond look for Super Saiyan, but I do agree the yellow stands out better on a shelf.

    I just wish so badly that I could get this.
    And then you gave me hope within the first few seconds of the review. You'll always be the best figure reviewer for me.
    Also platinum blonde all the way.

  • @BrolyLSSJ01
    @BrolyLSSJ01 Před 2 lety +1

    I’m still low key upset that this is an Event Exclusive, but better to have at least one SSJ2 Goku, as opposed to nothing at all.
    That being said, I think this looks fantastic. The faces on this figure look SO much better than the OG Full Power Super Saiyan Goku faces.

  • @custommediacreations
    @custommediacreations Před 2 lety

    I’ve always loved the platinum blonde. I recently painted a Super Saiyan Blue Demoniacal Fit Goku’s hair a nice light blonde, it came up great.

  • @drenkrod9811
    @drenkrod9811 Před 5 měsíci

    I believe that the lighter hair was because they were new to the Super Saiyan form, as they'd be actively maintaining their ki, which would create the glowing aura. Later when they'd mastered the form, like Goku and Gohan coming fresh out of the time chamber, the deeper yellow shows that they're not actively trying to keep their energy up, so they're not glowing.

    • @dankerbell
      @dankerbell Před 5 měsíci

      but mastered super saiyan is the easiest example of the platinum blonde hair, not deeper yellow, it's mostly super that has yellow for base super saiyan while z had blonde for ssj and gold for charging ki, although ssj3 is the exception

    • @drenkrod9811

    @DamianWayne86 Před 2 lety +3

    I can't believe there's people that doesn't like the headsculpts of this awesome figure. You know, at first, when the prototype were shown I didn't think it was very good. But yesterday I checked a video review and it's really, really the best sh figuarts Dragon Ball Z figure in my humble opinion.

  • @ArthronThePowerful
    @ArthronThePowerful Před 2 lety

    I like the platinum blonde for ss2, it helps transition to ss3 with its metallic hair coloring, if it was just the regular yellow like on ss1 it would've been too dull for me imo.

    I like the platinum and metallic look, it reminds me of the clone Goku they released earlier. I can’t really compare them side by side but that’s what it seems like to me. I feel like my preference changes too much on these, they can make some translucent versions of the super saiyan hair and I flip out and love it.
    That aura is insane, I’m bound to hunt down those for multiple characters lol.
    Really great looking figure, really hoping you’re onto something about being able to snag one of these later down the road.

    If i remember right from when i watched your super buu video and even displaying my own super buu that he probably had the best leg articulation without ruining the look of the knees when bent, can split, can fully kick behind and in front, wasnt too sure about ankle and toe articulation. I dont understand why tamashii just doesnt incorporate super buu leg mold or something for all other baggy pants characters

    Platinum blonde>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any other color in any kind of media or merchandise. That’s part of the reasons I’m not a DBS fan, the aesthetics of the new forms. Platinum blonde Super Saiyans are my number one thing when it comes to Dragon Ball as a whole. I wish all the SSJ figures came with that color or the one they are going to use for the Gohan parts included with Gamma 1.

    Surprised Vegeta hasn't gotten a regular buu saga base Vegeta with ssj 2 head, not Majin and maybe a more spikey hair to allow us to finally differentiate ssj2 Vegeta from ssj1 as sometimes they don't do the electric aura around him.

  • @2226phoenix
    @2226phoenix Před 2 lety

    I guess for me I see it a few different ways The high yellow could be a amateur or novice beginner color and the platinum blonde is more adept to master level Super Saiyan with the powers but they squashed that thought with full power Goku being high yellow so it could just be it's high yellow when they're charging up and platinum blonde when they're not charging up something like rose Goku black the shimmering hair is powering up and the pink flat pink hair is not powering up

  • @JonoSSD
    @JonoSSD Před 2 lety

    The fact that Bandai launched a fan favorite figure as exclusive is the worst. Sure, it's likely that'll have a regular release without the effects eventually, but still it's just bad product placement especially after 2 filler Goku releases that no one asked for (full power and super hero).
    Bandai could've easily swapped this with that awful Full Power and it'd make everyone much happier, including the company itself. Full Power wouldn't gather dust on shelves because it would be exclusive and a bigger supply of Super Saiyan 2 would sell a shitton because it's a figure a lot of people want.

    Real human legs don’t bend back like that so I don’t mind that lack of articulation. It’s more realistic

    This one has more of a dragon ball z kai look to it

    I agree and think this is an event exclusive and man do I hope it is.

    I gotta go with blonde, it looks nice and is more accurate to Toriyama's original look for super saiyan
