Peoples main issue with the figure when it was first shown off was literally just regular base form Goku's hair but silver. Which was in line with Toriyama's original design for Ultra Instinct Goku, but inaccurate to both the anime and manga. In general, Toriyama's original design is not very well liked by the people.
@@kingdomcomesuperman3669 Both original designs by Toriyama for Ultra Instinct and Super Saiyan God Goku were exactly the same, down to the color of the gi and boots; only difference was the hair and eye color of course.
@@Wolffanghurricane Toei are actually behind the lazy designs. They told Toriyama to make new forms that were simple to animate. It's also a marketing ploy; they now got people buying the same Goku figure 9 times. Oh but this one has blue hair! And that one has red hair! Holy fuck is that SILVER hair!? I MUST BUY IT.
After you mentioned the face plates can be swapped around with other Goku figures, I hit the liked button. Thank you for confirming that. I already assumed it was possible but just needed confirmation. Of all the reviews I've watched this week, you're the only one who did that. Much appreciated. 👍
The deal-breaker for me ever since it was announced is the lack of shading on the skin tone. The Super Saiyan Awakening Warrior figure looks FANTASTIC because of the shading. Seeing them directly compared here though it's nice to see that the trousers seem shaded unlike the older one. If I see it cheap enough I'll probably get it and see how some simple custom shading looks on the skin tone HUGELY disappointing to me though that they didn't shade it. Even if not unexpected
Weird question maybe for its for the sake of screen accuracy: When popping the waist, is the belt swappable with the "knot like" one other Goku's have?
The ripped shirt and belt pieces are separate, so you could theoretically swap the sash belt for a knot belt if you wanted to. If you wanted to go that route you could just use the Awakening Goku belt though.
The reason people complained when he was revealed was because he just straight up had the black base form hair in silver rather than the slightly different upswept look that it's supposed to have. Thankfully they changed it which people should have expected. At least that's the complaints that *I* saw, might have been totally different stuff that you heard :)
I think the reason the skin tone is different is because in the show it seems to be just straight up different. Could be because of the "aura" the pants are obviously a lighter shade, so I think that's what they were going for?
I believe the problem people had with the prototype was that the hair was just base-Goku hair but painted silver. Which would look wrong because Ultra Instinct hair is supposed to have some of the hair spikes curved up. However, I don’t think Bandai was ever planning on leaving it that way. I can’t imagine Bandai would do something so lazy with a figure they knew would be one of their most popular releases... they just wanted to show that they were working on a figure and that’s all they had to show at the time. The backlash was kinda crazy imo... but I could be wrong! Anyway nice review! I just got this yesterday and I’m super pleased with it!!
For those of you who swap heads, which Goku figure would you potentially put the UI head on, and which head would you put on the UI body? I ask because I’m not sure what all bodies you can swap this figures head with. Ultimately, I’d like to do another SSJ head on this one, as to look like Goku at the end of the Frieza fight.
I think the issue with the hair initially was the reveal prototype and first con floor showing of it, it was as if they reused the Saiyan Raised on Earth base form hair and painted it silver. They since changed that.
I think the issue with the hair originally is that it was just a recolor of the original hair, and it didn't look like the ultra instinct hair. They fixed it in the prototype images
It is funny. I have almost completely different opinions on figures than you. Heck I love the Mattel and Mcfarlane series. But still you are one of my top 3 favorite reviews. I like seeing the other side of the coin and being proven wrong. Even tho.. I still don’t change my opinion. All in all.. GREAT VIDEO FOR YEARS STRAIGHT! AMAZING JOB DUDE! Keep up the great content!
Only improvement I really wished they did was I hoped they'd use the translucent hair similar to what they did to the Goku Rose SDCC exclusive. It would have been very appropriate for this figure.
Maybe I'm just picky but I still don't really like it. He looks a bit chunky in his abdomen, almost no shading in his upper body, and the hair just reeks of laziness. Doesn't look flowy. I think why I am so dissappointed is because this part of the show is when the animation (mostly just Goku) kicked up a whole lot. So when I see a figure for it, my expectations are high. I won't pay anything over $50 for it personally.
Hey Anthony I'm just curious when are you going to do a review of the abomination wave? I'm just curious if it's worth getting the whole wave or just getting some figures and buying the parts on there own.
Anthony love your channel any pro tips on what to do with the scuffs/holes on the figure ? it bugs me and just looks like craters I was just gonna pencil it in would that work
Anthony- just came across your account as I started a DBZ SH figuarts collection with the saiyan raised on earth goku last year. I have since started to expand thanks to your awesome and helpful channel. I’m curious as to your take on when a figure gets “too pricey” to be worth it? I have come to find that the newer figures settle in around 60-80 bucks if you didn’t preorder it, but characters like yamcha are easily $150+. As a newer collector, I’m curious as to how you go about “responsibly” expanding your collection
I buy them when they're new. Virtually none of them lose value so you're better off having it and deciding you don't want it than wanting it later and having to pay extra. Also, I am buying the complete collection so it isn't really an issue for me.
AnthonysCustoms I appreciate the feedback! In hindsight you’re right; the release date almost directly correlates with the price. Guess I’ll prioritize the preorders and work backwards for the core characters. When I hear you mention things like “piccolo 2.0” it makes me wonder which figures may come around again or which ones are gone forever; but that’s part of the fun in this hobby. I’ve added Frieza, SS Vegeta, SS Gotenks, Super Broly, & SSGSS Gogeta to the shelf, with some preorders too. Out of curiosity will you be getting the great ape vegeta? Looking forward to more of your content!
i was wondering if i hear a loud click whenever i pull a hand out of the goku figure if its good or bad.Also can someone tell me the best way to take it out thanks.
@@AnthonysCustoms at the start of the video you were talking about how people were upset about the hair for not being accurate. That was because it wasn't accurate (repaint of regular hair without any of the flowing) when it was first revealed. The final release of course fixed this aspect. That's all I was pointing out.
@@AnthonysCustoms I dont really see where people could complain on this hair except for maybe not making it the omen color, but I really like this form in general overall i like the fig and agree on the comment you mentioned about the shading when comparing it to the ssj goku.
I love this figure it’s awesome sure, my only problem is the metallic hair I don’t really like how it looks but I’ll probably add this to my collection!
can the hand peg break from switching the hands? on mine when i switched out the hands i noticed it got white like when its gonna break so ive left it with only the fisted hands
Nice and easing review. So glad I didnt hear any cringe on this video since I saw way many backwards opinions on this poor guy. Btw, are the torn-apart shirt pieces removable? I'd love him more without those.
I got this today It’s hard putting in the blue Things into the kamehameha. And I took the light blue shirt thing off him since it was annoying and I didn’t like it.
I literally binged 2 hours of your videos while at work then ordered 4 figures lol
Haha
This is objectively the best way too stop for figures. No exceptions non-negotiable
Anything to break the monotony
Hell yeah thats my routine 😅 always gotta check and see if its worth the buy first, whatd you get?
@@KiLLJOY1056 I got the full power broly, and ssj blue vegeta, goku, and gogeta
I don't get why people complain about the legs/hips/crouch whatever, it's one of if not the best thing you can do for characters with baggy pants
It looks bad because the belt sticks out way farther than his abdomen, which just makes it look like a chunky diaper. It should be mostly flush.
Metalwario64 bruh your hips stick out further than your waist, the belt is around his hips lmao it makes sense why it's like that
@@Metalwario64 I was thinking the same. Looks like a diaper...
@@Metalwario64 I don't think you know what the actual design looks like
@@Metalwario64 exactly the same belt than ssj3 goku 2.0 ....

I've seen other reviews on my recommended a few days ago and i thought, "i can't wait to see what AnthonyCustoms has to say"

I'm excited about Sh figuarts Dragon Ball Vegito.
Dude, I am about to get this for my birthday and I am already in love with it.🤩
Did u end up getting it?
been waiting 4 days for this review, this'll help me decide whether to get it or not
I think the issue with the hair originally is that it was just a recolor of the original hair, and it didn't look like the ultra instinct hair. They fixed it in the prototype images
Riley Craig he’s talking about the prototype
I'm gonna buy that for Christmas coming soon on December
Nothing better to go to sleep than a great review and a equally great figure.
Did you buy it at a Japanese website or something cause I pre ordered mine from big bad toy store and it says it's coming out in may
Yup it’s the Japanese release
BBTS sucks
You can get it from Amazon Japan rn, and it arrives pretty quick. Mine just came in today

it can't be the same skin tone/shading cause they are a different transformations.
Is it too much to ask for a Kefla figure
i was wondering if i hear a loud click whenever i pull a hand out of the goku figure if its good or bad.Also can someone tell me the best way to take it out thanks.
Thanks for the review! Keep up the great work. God bless and take care.
I am so glad tamashii reissued this guy
I'm going to be honest if and when I get this figure I might pose him with sh figuarts zamasu or jiren
When the figure was first revealed the hair was just a repaint of the regular goku hair, which is why people were upset.
I'm talking about the final release.

Yo dude thanks for the vid couldn't wait for this vid, super useful, new sub continue the good and helpful content I cannot wait for your newer videos
i liked this figure a lot in hand
i think his back looks weird though
its hard to do bare skin
I don't know. Why did never push it on figures but they always put it on statue.
Hi person seeing my at the first comment after scing all the way down to remember that they changed where the comment section was
2:31 or right there
Just ordered Jiren and Final battle Jiren, best action figures imo
Could the ultra instinct head fit on the super saiyan goku body
The original showing of the figure literally had just silver sroe hair which lead to all the complaints so glad it was changed.

the kamehameha is also UV coated FYI
Where do you buy this at? All the websites that I go on say that it will come out either may, June or July.
How did you get your hands on this?
Got mine today,
It's okay, it's another Goku so I wasn't too excited but it's a pretty good figure
Been waiting for this. Let's see what's poppin because I was one of the people who did not like this figure when it was shown.
Usually I watch your vids before buying one of these (so because of you I got this ui goku thx)
Can it swap heads with the "a saiyan raised on earth" figure?
Getting this tomorrow I’m excited af
Cancelled my preorder on this one. I may pick him up later down the road. He looks nice but I just didn't want him THAT badly right now
How do you know all the joint names instead of balljoint?
I've been making figures for over a decade.
I was about to buy it but I checked this out and now I want it more
can the hand peg break from switching the hands? on mine when i switched out the hands i noticed it got white like when its gonna break so ive left it with only the fisted hands
You gotta be more careful with them hos
Are the belts changeable

Whats the best website to get these?
Been waiting for this review before pulling the trigger.
My only problem with the figure owning it myself is that the leg joints are very tight
I didn't plan on getting a lot of Goku's but I might get this one.
you found it for cheap only a year ago?
Where did he buy it because everywhere i check are telling me June 30
Where did u buy this???
Got mine but my goku's chest piece is a different tone from the rest
Omg where do u get ur stands from there so cool my stands they just fall when I put a figure on there
They're just tamashii stands that i tightened.
Its about time bro 😝
Been waiting for your dbz reviews , thank you.
This literally just released like 3 days ago.
@@AnthonysCustoms where did you buy it from?
Do I get ui goku or goku super sayin blue whis training??
Should i buy ui goku or awakening goku
Did you pre order the new one that came with the dragon ball figupedia
Yes
Should I get this one or SSB Goku?
I want to get this figure but I'm not seeing it on Amazon. Does anyone know where else I can get it?
pretty much anywhere even gamestop has this up for pre order
I got this today
It’s hard putting in the blue Things into the kamehameha. And I took the light blue shirt thing off him since it was annoying and I didn’t like it.
Where did you get it
Ultra Instinct Goku is my favorite character
The best character in the world
Awwww
ive been waiting for this figure
Thanks for showing this video it's great I always watching your videos Anthony customs
Hey Anthony customs
How did u get this guy so fast?
Nice
Thanks!!!! I was waiting for this review.
You know what they should of done? Make the hair matte that would look cool a matte white.
How did he get it mine don’t ship till 6/24/20
whats a good dragon ball figure to buy (first figure)
basic goku. 25 bucks at some target stores
AnthonysCustoms thx
I wish the hair was sculpted like it was flowing that’s the only issue I have
Does anyone have any information on the USA release of this figure?
Hi
Edit: have a good day! :)
I though Hy bluefin hasn’t been distributing any figures. Is this the Japanese release?
