SS Son Goku Super Warrior Awakening Version (S.H Figuarts)

No, they really don't. Trunk's non SS hair looks good on the original version, but both him and Vegeta's SS hair have completely overdone shading that looks bad in every photo i've seen of them. I always hated the white tipped hair, and while there some shots from the anime that show the Super Saiyans with orange shading on parts of their hair, it looks awful on the actual figures. I mentioned before when explaining what went wrong with the infamously fugly SSJ3 Goku figure, the way the characters are shaded and given detail on the show doesn't really translate well on a physical 3D object because they don't actually have an aura that casts light on them, making the shading completely nonsensical. They're better off doing a flatter paint job and let real lighting do the job. They both also have awful shading on their skin, par for how the figures looked in earlier releases and in Vegeta's case makes him look like a jersey guido cosplaying as Vegeta because it's too orange.

I'll trade the shading on Vegeta's jumpsuit (along with the weird glossy finish it had) and Trunks' jacket for faces and hair that doesn't look like crap. There's a reason I don't own them, and it's only partially because of the price. If they actually looked good like Saiyan Saga Vegeta, I would have no problem spending $150+. I am currently bidding on a Saiyan Saga Vegeta with a max bid of $145 even though it's loose with no box. I don't expect to win, so i'll probably buy one of the BIN auctions with a box that are going for closer to $200. 

On topic, this non promotional shot of Awakening Goku shows that they're learning and not blasting aero spray paint in uneven coats to shade them, but doing a far smoother and lighter paint jshading and letting actual light cast shadows and accent the sculpted detail. Broly was a huge step up in this regard too.


Stop splitting hairs, the point I was making was quite clear. We begged for it, we got it, no need to complain.

I wish the effect pieces would come with goku but they are not

Just buy them seperately if you want them. I know I am, and instead of just one I'll get the whole set with the other ones, goku isn't the only one who needs it. I am glad they're selling it in packs so we can get more and use it on other figs aswell. 

Is he going to come with the sane hands as the original release and ssj3? Or will he come with more ?
