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!

Bandai have fully revealed that new body style Goku from a while back. Labeled Imagination Works – the figure is roughly 1/9 scale (7 inches) and features a hybrid seamless body style. The arm features no elbow joints covered in a silicone layer, while the various clothing features texture detailing. Enhanced articulation engineering is present throughout to go a step beyond normal S.H. Figuarts.
It comes with both regular and Super Saiyan hair, multiple hands (looks like the standard Goku hand styles from S.H.F.). Looks like there will be two heads, 2 facial expressions for each head. There will also be swappable eye expressions per head. The upper body clothing is using a softer material (not fabric) to allow bending while posing, so the gi is detached from the body sculpt. The legs feature a pop out knee to keep the silhouette. Wrists and ankles look to use a ball joint. There is paint detailing on hair and clothing to add depth.
Overall it looks sharp and is a new mixed media format. Not quite One:12, not quite S.H. Figuarts. Around NECA and McFarlane scale.
The figure is due out in October 2020 in Japan. Price is 11,000 yen ($101.00 USD). Stay tuned for more details and pre-orders. Read on to check the translated details and official pics. Thanks to RamenRider for the heads up!
