Out of all of the Dragon Ball figures I've seen, the Super Saiyan Goku (from the Freeza battle) by Jakks Pacific has to be the best as, with the exception of the sash instead of the tied belt, He looks exactly like Goku in those episodes and has pretty solid articulation to boot. I unfortunately don't own this figure due to high prices online, but I probably will one day. What's your favorite? Attachment Deleted

I really like the SHF Future Trunks, the No.18, and the Krillin. Not only cause they're some of my favorite characters, but the figures are fantastic. They leave very little to be desired in terms of likeness and articulation. And neither is made with the new articulation system which is a plus, I think. I dont really like the way the new joint system looks around the waist/crotch despite its superior articulation range. It takes away from the aesthetics IMO. Next, I'd have to say the Awakening Warrior Gokou and SSJ (2.0) Vegeta for their mold and likeness, despite of them having the ugly joint system.
Hey supernamekian, I have to ask, do you really like the Jakks Goku the most from a technical standpoint? (ie likeness) Or is it more of a nostalgia thing?
Best regards,
Max

Best regards, Max I grew up on a few Irwin figures and restaurant promotionals, so I assure you it isn't nostalgia. I like that Goku strictly because I've never seen an articulated Goku that matched Toriyama's older art style so closely. And while the S.H. Figuarts one is nice, the face is a bit off and the hair is too big. Personally, I'm willing to sacrifice a large portion of articulation if it means having the better likeness. Besides, I'm admittedly not the biggest supporter of the S.H. Figuarts line as I feel they're too obsessed over by collectors. They're still nice, but I honestly prefer lines like the Ultimate Figure Series as it did a similar idea for way less money (even to this day) and even the Figure-rise Standard models for their accuracy. And while I understand that you live in the U.S. and pay lower prices (as you made very clear in another thread of mine), I live in Canada so every penny counts when half a box of knockoff Kraft Dinner is around $5.00.

Gotcha, And I agree that the face mold is a bit off on the SHF Gokus, Especially the older SSJ and SSJ3's. The AW is not so bad though.

I would have to say that my favorite DBZ figure is either the SBC Movie 3-Pack Future Trunks (I know it is not American) or the Irwin second form Frieza.

Jakks omega Shenron would be my favorite American figure. He reminds me of a thunder cats toy
