The head is on an entirely new joint and switching it out is impossible, as the joint is similar to that of the original, however it now has a metal pin going through the hair where the head connects, even when you pop the neck off, you still can't switch it out, as the neck is on an invert of the old peg (where instead of a peg going into the neck, there's a peg in the neck that connects to the chest area. So, unless you have a spare Awakening Goku and something to pop the chest apart with, no you can't switch the heads out with other Gokus.

Is this a web exclusive limited production like the first SS3 goku figuart? Wondering if he'll get a price drop if not.

Is this a web exclusive limited production like the first SS3 goku figuart? Wondering if he'll get a price drop if not. No, it's a regular release, and judging by where the other regular releases are now, I'd say a price drop is inevitable. ________________________ Just received this today, here's my pros/cons list for it. Pros - There's a lot I like about the 2.0 Goku mold. Like most 2.0 figures, the sculpt is superb and the figure overall has a great feel to it. I wasn't really pleased with the new leg design that has been used on 2.0 figures (the waists haven't looked as good as they could have). This time, the design is greatly improved. I only wish the thigh swivels (the hidden joints that attach to the waist) had some sculpted detail like the 1.0 thigh joints used to have. That aside, the legs look great and function perfectly. I was worried the sash might be extremely loose like the midsection piece on the Awakening Goku but it isn't at all - in fact, it's difficult to move around (exactly how it should be). I really like the metallic hair. I think a metallic finish for the super saiyan forms helps emphasize a premium feel for these figures. Cons - There's a big flaw I can't ignore (a flaw that some of the other 2.0 figures also have)...restricted arm movement. The problem is poor execution. The butterfly swivels are deep inside the torso and this leaves the arms too close to the body/stuck at a 10-degree angle (also, the arms can only be moved to an 80-degree angle due to the shoulder joint buffers). An improvement might be possible, they would just need to extend the fly swivels so the arms have more room to move around. Honestly, I wish the 2.0 arms had cup sockets (the joints that SS Gohan, Broly, Frieza, and Golden Frieza had). I think those are the best possible option for shoulder joints, and it would be quite easy to modify the 2.0 parts for cup sockets. All that said, I realize I'm talking about updating molds so improvements probably won't happen. / Speaking of the swivels, they have the skin tone which looks pretty bad, but I'm not too worried about it since future figures might have swivels that are colored to match the gi like on the SSG Goku. / The skin tone has decent saturation (i.e., it isn't as pale as it could have been) but it has too much red bias. However, this exact tone should be used for other figures such as Gohan or Krillin (can't say Tien since it's already being produced). / The design of the legs is great but I really wish the waists were larger like they used to be, ESPECIALLY here since the 2.0 mold is shorter than the 1.0 mold. / One final flaw I'm just now seeing - the biceps seem misshapen. Each bicep part seems to lean towards the body. I have no idea why they made that kind of change. Maybe there was a problem with the mold? Guess that about covers it.

I just realized I asked the same question twice, lol. He's sold out at toysinthebox and bigbadtoystore. Wonder when they'll restock.

It was, it just hasn't had a reissue yet. Since so many new regular releases are coming out, it's hard to say if reissues will be much of a factor going forward.

I'd imagine a lot of people do. Honestly, I'm surprised it and the SSG Goku sold out so quickly.
