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.

Why is your Piccolo a different color from mine?
1. Is he a Yoshi?
2. Can I ride him?
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.
2. Can I ride him?
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.

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.
Really, I want Nappa, first and foremost, then they can carry on. They showed him at SDCC and NYCC 2012, then poof.

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
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: 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.
Where did the Mini-Shenron with Dragon Balls come from??? It's awesome!
Do Frieza next.
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.
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):
