S.H. Figuarts Super Saiyan 3 Goku Gallery

under Dragonball Z Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

Toyark’s S.H. Figuarts Dragonball Z catch up galleries continue today with Super Saiyan 3 Goku! It uses the base Goku body with a new head, but boy is the head a big addition. The Super Saiyan 3 hair is long, yet still spikey so it weighs almost as much as the figure. While not my favorite version of Goku, it’s still a solid addition to any SHF DBZ shelf, so let’s take a look at over 45 shots of him in action after the break!

Make sure to check back every day for new DBZ SHF galleries until we have them all up and done!

S.H. Figuarts Super Saiyan 3 Goku

Pros
Hair is impressive, did not skimp out
Aura effect accessory is awesome, works with any Super Saiyan
Halo ring nice touch

Cons
Orange detailing on skin matches hair and gi, too similar
Little top heavy

Overall
This is one of the figures I skipped initially. Was never a fan of the SS3 style, and I had Goku already, so at the time it was an easy pass. I’ve since gone back and decided to grab them all, and running thru this Goku was fun. He surprisingly can hold a pose with the hair being so top heavy, it just can’t be a straight up and down one. Tilting him forward for a Kamehameha or similar move will let you pose him without stand, and that’s impressive. The hair moves in 3 parts, so you can add a bit of twist there as well. The Aura effect piece is also nice, easily used with other figures. Again, as part of a wider display of these SHF figures, I think he’s a good addition, but on his own or in a smaller group I’d opt for others first.

    Yeah, the Piccolo I got was from SDCC.

    I agree this line of DBZ figures are great, SHF are some of the best figures out right now. I am fearing though that Bandai may restart the SHF like they did with Saint Seiya myth cloth, where all the first figures lost their value.

    I hope not. Now that it's got some steam it's a very fine tuned, well done line. It took me a while to really appreciate what was going on. But I'm all in now.

    Can't see any reason why they would do that. Are you saying they would make the figures in a different scale or something? SHF is already a non-scale line. Can't speak to what they didn't with the Saint Seiya line as I am unfamiliar with it. Did they just starting remaking the figures but better? They've done some of that over in the Robot Damashii line because they learned how to better make certain things or they needed a bigger size. They still reissue some figures from early in that line though.

    Let's be honest, some of the DBZ figures are already crazily priced on the secondary market. Reissues/updates of SS Vegeta or Trunks would be welcomed.

    Well they did it too soon. I can understand new versions, after a while but they released all the gold saints first which where, around 60-70 after shipping and taxes, then after the sculpts and everything got better they released addons called, apendix like new faces, bits of armor, around 30-40 each after shipping and taxes. Okay then they decided to re start the line, with the gold saints again, around $100, so yeah if you are a die hard saint seiya fan you wasted around 100 for a figure that may go for 20 on ebay, now. I was even pissed because I have all the gold saints from the original myth cloth line, good thing I bought them used.

    Honestly, I wouldn't mind a few redos as a lot of their DBZ Figuarts have quality control issues. In fact, of the ones I own, Goku is the only one that does not have some sort of defect.

    I wish they would start giving us some regular Dragonball Figuarts though. I really really want Kid Goku, Tao Pai Pai, Desert Bandit Yamucha, King Piccolo, and a Pilaf/Mai/Soba three pack.

    I think I remember watching an interview that Bandai wants to see how well Brolly does with the larger body. I hope we get a Nappa with armor though, a naked Nappa can only make me so happy for so long lol.

    Just to point it out, the 2 versions of SS hair Gohan comes with are for standard Super Saiyan mode & Super Saiyan 2. Though "Chillin" and angry work fine too XD

  16. Dr Kain's Avatar Dr Kain says

    I really really want that color of Piccolo there. That is how he looks in the manga, but I'm not sure it is worth buying him a second time for a different color.

    Nice pictures of SS Goku and Gohan.

    It is weird though as some of the Gokus in your shots look like his gi is red while I have the regular one in my hands and it is quite orange.

    RE: Piccolo - he was just re-released, so if you do want him now is the time. Prices are retail, you can get him fairly cheap. I think they even have him at some Barnes and Noble stores along with Goku.

    RE: Red Goku - Well, here anyway on these monitors, none are red-red. However, the SDCC one, and the "Normal Version" one are more red-orange than the main release. The "Normal" moreso than the SDCC as well.

    If you're saying those are just too red for what they should be, that is a possibility. Different light and post-processing methods will show colors differently during a photo shoot, it's possible I didn't optimize to show true colors properly. At the time of exporting them, I thought they were fine, but sometimes you get in a zone and lose true color rendition.

    There are also a lot of shadows going on here, and shadowed orange will show up darker/redder most times. I'll take a look later, and if they are way off, I'll try to re-export with changes.

    I have the SDCC Gohan, and the original release Piccolo. I kind of like the miss match, sets the apart a bit more than the obvious one is a little human/saiyan hybrid, and another is a 7 foot green alien.

    Yes, but I can either buy a figure I don't have, or buy a figure I have with a different paint job.

    Keychain set from China. Came with 7, each had a mini figure and Dragonball on one chain. Can just unscrew them and boom, in scale. I got them for the Dragonballs, but the Shenron is cool too, as you see

    The set I got isn't currently online anymore, and I didn't see it listed from anyone else on eBay. But this was it:

    Those pics of Vegeta are awesome. Really like the ones of the three different versions together.

  25. Dr Kain's Avatar Dr Kain says

    It really makes me mad that they haven't reissued SS Vegeta yet. They need to hurry up so I can have a SS display since it doesn't seem like they are going to give us a regular Gohan any time soon.

    Oh, and they need to reissue SS3 Goku.

    BTW, here is a seller with them. I just bought a set (although, I hope these aren't bootlegs):
