Japan release date announced as 27th October.
Bit disappointing really as regular releases usually drop mid month, but not this time it seems.
I won't have it in hand now until November =(

So I just got my Gotenks in today
The figure overall is great and I feel the good defintiely outweighs the bad because it’s scupts, facial expressions and accessories are fantastic
BUT
Like we all knew going in the figure is way too big but I felt in person it’s a lot more noticeable than in pictures
There’s small paint blemishes scattered throughout the figure
The single jointed elbows are disappointing especially considering the prototypes were double jointed
The painted chest piece compared to the sculpted while not TERRIBLE is definitely noticeable and not acceptable from Tamashii
The face plates are a pain in the ass because no matter how hard you press them in they’ll never be snug and fall off completely way too easily (a simple tilt down of the head will do it)
The neck is pretty bad. Noticeable gap that’s very hard to close when posing and another blunder that Tamashii shouldn’t be approving
Lastly, the belt is mega loose on his waist as if they made it too big. It’s always shaking and not stiff and still like they should be compared to other figures
All these QC issues aside it’s a great figure and a welcome addition to the collection. Really hoping Demoniacal Fit makes a Base Gotenks Head Kit to give me a reason to buy another one hahah

Got mine today!
So I actually have had no issues with the faceplates whatsoever, so I'm wondering exactly how common that issue is... Mine fits on pretty tight, more so than any of my other figures. No paint issues, but there's some spots where there's little excess plastic nubs that weren't clipped off very smoothly, but I've seen that on some of my other SHF figures. The belt is definitely very loose, though not enough that it wobbles or anything, just not snug in place like the other figures. The neck gap is very noticeable. The painted chest thing IS pretty weird, and I wish they hadn't done it, but the shade of paint they chose matches very well with mine, so it doesn't really bother me too much. The elbows are really a bummer, it's hard to even pull off some of his iconic poses from the Super Buu fight. I think I'm gonna have to pose him with the crossed peace signs, that's the only really cool recognizable one I can really pull off aside from a generic fighting pose.
Overall, I would say that it's a lot better than I was worrying it would be from some of the reviews, but the mere fact that these QC issues are so inconsistent is itself a problem. But I guess just know that it's at least a gamble, and not a sure thing that these problems would be present on one that you buy...? Not a tremendous comfort, but hey, I ended up with a pretty nice one, so it's not impossible.

The chest color and height are my only issues.
