Do you guys think this line will survive long enough for us to see trunks? As much as I would love this, I have doubts. I think that so far goku's sales have been very poor. his oreorder period ended on tamashii nations and he was still available in stock. He is still available on websites such as nippon yasan for example. An personally I don't know anyone who's getting him except for about 2 or 3 here. There's is no doubt that this Goku is much more expensive to produce than figuarts zero for example, so does bandai want to risk paying that much on a figure that did not sell well? I don't think so. One must see whether this year yet released the other two figures (Trunks and Buu). If so, and there will new arrive in the next year, then I can imagine it that this line temporarily continues to live. I've seen this at Roy Focker (FB). If this Photoshop picture would look exactly like the figure, then I would buy 100% to Goku. Then set the figure to the Medicos Goku, even if there would be no future Zero EX figures more.

Unless I'm mistaken this has never gone up for for preorder on the big sites like Amiami and hlj, nor have they received stock. This release has been a peculiar one that's for sure. I think once more of these actually show up in the wild, and once Super begins to air, these figures will fly off the shelves. I'm sure we'll at least get Trunks and Buu.

If i understand correctly, the sh figuarts didnt do well in japan but sold like hotcakes int he US market. im assuming the same will happen here. Again, the longer hair would have made this figure TONS better but oh well. im getting it anway

snaku they didn't sell at AmiAmi becaue it doesn't sell tamashii web exclusive figures but hopefully you're correct and theyll make trunks. Seal that's the spirit man! We need to buy the heck out of goku to get to see trunks.

This is undoubtedly the best paint job and sculpt I have ever seen on a DBZ statue!

This is undoubtedly the best paint job and sculpt I have ever seen on a DBZ statue! A lot of resin figures has much more better paint job and sculpt. It's a good figure, but it has some big mistakes.

Seal I know what you mean, I love medicos goku, particularly for the shading. However, I believe that zero ex goku will even surpass that, especially when he's in hand. I know youre getting him so we shall wait and see Vegeku I personally am not a big fan of resin statues and believe this is better. What big mistakes are you talking about, the only thing a bit off about this is the hair, what other issues do you see?

It's not a matter of believe or not, it's a fact that resin figures are better. The muscles on the shirt for exemple, Gokuh never has that kind of muscles transparency not in the manga or the anime in this transformation, doesn't look like Toriyama art style at all.

There you have a comparison guys!! More: ameblo.jp/ultimate-an-earthman/page-2.htmlHe looks great overall and pretty good next to the Medicos Goku. The Medicos still looks bigger to me (would be more clear if he was just standing straight up), specially the head. I think he looks perfect next to the MSP's though. @redstar77

takezo Any chance you can fix those images? The server you are hotlinking them from is denying access when trying to view them. Try hosting them on imgur.
