It does seem most likely to be, but now that I'm thinking about it, it wouldn't be hard to change the symbol on the same figure so what if it's the king Kai kanji or turtle hermit and the Emphasis on the "go" kanji for Mexico was actually the biggest hint, it would be cool to have different saga gokus available at certain events so if you collect them all you'll have every version of goku while Tamashii would continue with their trend of not having the same exact figure and making people scepticle about exclusives being available other then the event or what's been happening with the whole exclusive figure vs box discussion

I'd love to see them swap Kanji and give us a Saiyan Saga Goku down the line since I'm one of those people that wants every version of every character

In all honesty, and I'm not saying this because I already have it, but don't you think unveiling a figure that we've already seen a month ago seems a little... Dissapointing... Lame... Unsurprising... Ect. I mean it is exciting for those who want it but it's also SDCC, the biggest comic con, doesn't it seem like they aren't taking it seriously and people who don't collect the figures but check out what's new would be like eh already saw that one, looks like they're slacking... It kind of would lower my view on the company and just say there's no trusting when it comes to the almighty dollar like everything else. I remember when yugioh cards were worth a ton of money, the originals... Till they decided to reprint every good card as commons in a later set to milk the money... Now Magic The Gathering on the other hand was different, sometimes they reprinted a card worth a good amount but it never killed the value of it. I just would hate this company to turn into a yugioh lol

It was unfair enough for this company to sell this Goku as an exclusive to begin with whether it be Mexico, America, India, the Moon, whatever. It's one of the most iconic forms of the main character of the show in his perfect anime accurate colors. It should've been a regular release like the rest of em were. Limiting it only to one country with only 500 figures was ludicrous since A LOT of people want this specific Goku. Now at least, they're expanding it to a larger market, SDCC to give the rest of us a chance. Tamashii is just like this though, so I'm used to their crazy shenanigans. Even so, they're getting a lot better as a company and I do commend them for trying.
The anime is the most recognized form of Dragon Ball in the world outside of Japan. The manga just isn't. Imo, they should cater to the market that really craves these figures, the international one, and release most figures in anime colors. Japan mainly really cares about the manga versions and DBZ is actually not that popular in it's own home country surprisingly. That said, Japan gets screwed over the most with this since they have to either pay for the SDCC or the Mexico one AND it's in anime colors. Just for that reason, I feel Tamashii will re-use this mold and simply repaint it into the manga colors like the Normal Goku we have already and make it a regular release like all the other figures.

Ok I will never get the hate foor Manga colors... It's not even offical ''manga colors'' anyhow, just crap taken from the re-released color versions of the manga. Or else, we would get black and white figures which nobody likes....
Except for me hahahahahuhuhuhuudfududurururur

Praise the leaks.

Praise the leaks. I know they do it every year. Just really annoying as the silhouettes are always already a dead give away. Like why do it like that so just announce it. But as you said, this time there were leaks, which did help, but since we know then why hint or tease. But i'll be very surprised if it somehow turns out to be something else/different. Like still Goku, but not the MexiGoku. Or can be already a ultimate gohan but in purple gi as how he faced Broly's return. Or something like that.

They could pull a fast one on us and do that which would suck cuz then anyone that wants Namek Goku has to fork over whatever the scalper's want. It's basically a tease at this point. That's just the tradition and for some collectors that aren't as "in the know", it's still a surprise and hint for them.
