Why all the hate for ss3? He's my favorite of all my figuarts. But he's also my favorite form of goku besides normal as you can tell from my avatar.

The cheap look the shininess of the suit gives him, inconsistent shading on his legs, spray-tanned skin with unpainted joints, clashing purple bands, cat-like face, googly eyes on alternate head, heavy hair... There's a lot of problems with this figure. It was my first DBZ S.H.Figuart and is still an incredible toy, and holds a very special place is my heart... But I can't deny, there are a lot of problems with it.

Idk. I'm just glad there is a decent articulated ss3. All the other ones looked bad and the good looking ones were statues. But that's just me.

But I can't deny, there are a lot of problems with it. Plus the legs, they feel so cheap compared to the others. I also think his head is a bit smaller when compared to the other Goku figuart. Like The Great Saiyaman said, it is a great toy, but it definitely has it's problems and they are only amplified when compared to the rest of the line.

Really hope there's a comic con release with a better paint job.

Really hope there's a comic con release with a better paint job. That one looks amazing! It isn't even just the paint, the material looks better and inline with the other Figuarts.

Agreed. And his face looks better without that black line being drawn on his mouth like in the figure we got. Other figuarts dont even have that, I dunno why they did it for this one.

I've also noticed Goku's face on the SSJ3 version is a little smaller. Also, does anyone else have this issue? The joint sticks out so painfully. :/ I also don't seem to be able to remove his head.

I wouldn't try it. You can run the head under hot water and slide the neck off the joint but I'm pretty sure the joint is locked into the head and the hair part can't come off. I recommend buying one of the SS Goku reissues while it's still $40 so you can swap the SS3 head onto it. It's not perfectly consistent but it looks better.

The neck joint on the SS3 Goku is completely different to the other Goku figures as it is reinforced to allow for the heavy hair.

Sounds like the site. Ah well, I saved myself some money.

For all this figure did wrong, I gotta say I love the reinforced neck joint he sports. I just wish they could have reinforced his waist.
