SON GOKU

I rarelly buy anything of Banpresto. I have some Devilman statues by Banpresto but aside of that it seems they focus too much into very specific series. Its a shame tough, since theyr figures are really GOOD and a pretty good price as well.

I got this figure more specifically as companion for a Vegeta figure i got two years before this, soo this Goku is almost just an accesory but a pretty cool one.

He was cheap and he is really HUGE. One of my biggest figures and he is extremelly heavy. Titled “The Son Goku”, this statue is part of the MASTER STARS PIECES line. And as the ridiculous title of the line says, the quality here is pretty high.

With no articulations at all, the sculpt is brillant and detailed, the folds in the clothes, the muscles and hair, everything have the perfect proportion for Goku and every line is sculpted here; his mouth, the lines under his eyes, even the muscles have some sculpted lines details that make it looks like a pencil drawing (i dunno if that makes sence).

This is a variant tough, the colour is different to the original release. The color is designed to look like hes expulsing his ki, soo theres a lot of shines and soft goldens here and there, specially on his clothing. Theres a lot of yellow tones on the front and in betwen his legs the colour change to orange and browns. The same happends with his shoes blue color and his skin tone, is painted to make him look like he is reflecting heavy light from the front.

I never got a figure painted like this and i gues i need to buy some “ki efects” to display him properlly. Even with the colour change, the result is nice and solid. AGin, every line and detail is painted without a single mistake. They even paint the shine on his eyes.

He can stand on his own perfectly, but still he have a transluscent plastic piece that works as some sort of base for him.

Theres is A LOT of Dragon Ball figures. I wish i could have the money and space to buy some of them since they looks amazing, but i finally decided for this one given how big he is.

I also saw a Raditz and a Barsookc i LOVED, but they were on a different scale, half the size of this Goku soo that broke the deal for me. I dunno if i will get them but for the moment, i am really happy with this guy.
