Ultra Instinct – the highest form of power up for Goku (for now) is here, in hand, in S.H. Figuarts form! I’ve been waiting for this for a while now, it’s the perfect representation of the modern Dragonball era. And Tamashii Nations did a great job with the figure – IMO taking top spot as the best Goku to date. He has metallic silver on the hair, full shirtless upper with torn gi above the belt, ripped pants, 4 faces in standard levels of intensity, 4 sets of hands – all standard Goku SHF styles and a Kamehameha energy ball – same one as previously released in a sharper blue clear plastic. Nothing crazy but the execution is tops. Smooth firm joints, dense plastic, sharp sculpt head to toe, colors pop. Feels good in hand. A worthy rep of Goku’s ultimate form. Only ask would be a slight wash on the body, as he has a lot of cuts and scrapes built into the mold, but they don’t shine due to lack of paint on the flesh. We’ve taken him for a spin with a battle against Jiren, so read on to check him out courtesy of TheToySource! He’s in stock there and shipping now!

Jiren was the big bad of the final Dragonball Super chapter, giving Goku a powered up opponent worthy of battle. And now he’s joined the Dragonball ranks in S.H. Figuarts. Jiren dropped earlier this year, but just like last year, I’m running a bit behind getting all these guys. I recently got Ultra Instinct Goku, and couldn’t wait anymore picking up Jiren, they need to battle! Jiren is rocking his bulky frame, 4 sets of hands – one of which has Goku’s blue hair bangs attached so you can show him gripping up the Saiyan, 4 heads, a set of folded arms, energy fist and flame effect for that fist. We’ve run him through the motions and added him to our Dragonball galleries, so read on to check him out along with some additional thoughts courtesy of TheToySource!
