WOW! Are those pics from ebay? Or where? How did someone get one almost a month early?! And this documents the very first time the blister has been a different depth as far as I'm aware! It seems like it's the same size, but it's obviously 2 or 3 times as thick! That will almost certainly mean that SS3 Goku will either be (1) rare if they send the same number of same-size-as-previous cases to each store, (2) more common because they'll be shipping cases full of just SS3 Gokus to each store, or (3) some other unusual combination. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out! These are from Mercari, where people are listing them for roughly $20 each.

If we're lucky the entire assortment will switch to the larger bubble, and now with the more uniformly larger bubble there's a higher chance of getting bigger characters like say Frieza form 3, or first form Cell, Fat Buu, etc
EDIT: checking the other listings, no they have the smaller bubble for sure, But still if they're willing to make SSJ3 have a bigger bubble than that at least sets the precedent that they can do it later

Since they gave us 9 foot tall characters like Broly I hope they also make other tall characters like final form Cooler, Semi Perfect Cell, Burter, Hatchiyak and second form Frieza someday. They would be great for Shodo scale.

He looks great! You forgot to mirror the image of the SS head from Instagram here though. Sad to see that the Ultimate Gohan head won’t fit. However, if the new base Goku has the same body as the old SS head, one could make a new version of the SBC “Perfect Edition” Buu Saga Goku with swapable heads, minus SSJ2.

futureztrunks67 I found these pics on Facebook, not instagram, so I'm not sure which pic you're talking about.

Burter and 2nd form Frieza I'd love to see how good they look in this line.

I'd rather see Burter and Frieza form 2 in the Dragon Stars line, because they would absolutely scale with Evolve since they are such large characters. I know chaotic is hoping for them to be in Evolve (since the Broly paired well with older Shodo figures), but I really hope Bandai continues to focus on good scaling and doesn't release anymore undersized characters in the Evolve line. (Sometimes I wonder why I even keep my Evolve SS Broly, because he looks ridiculous with the other Evolve figures since he is so much smaller than he should be.) I guess in a perfect world, Bandai would revive Shodo so the fans of those figures would be able to expand their collections with some variety. But I wouldn't like it if they did that at the expense of this incredibly amazing 5 inch scale line (Evolve). I'm going to continue to be a broken record , but I am absolutely dying for the next Evolve set to be SS Rose Goku Black, SS2 Kefla, and Android 17 in his MIR shirt. I'm getting tired of waiting for these extremely important characters. I'd also love to see a Target exclusive SS God Goku, a Walmart exclusive SS God Vegeta, and an Amazon exclusive Beast Gohan before the end of the year. I'm very confused as to why they skipped making Beast Gohan (and why they skipped making a Dragon Stars Orange Piccolo... that I also want...). These upcoming/recent releases (SS3 Goku, Goku, and Vegeta) have been VERY popular on social media, and so I hope they sell millions of them and put more emphasis on releasing more DB Evolve figures, more often. There are at least a dozen DB Super characters we all need in our collections, and it's hard having to wait with fingers crossed for more than 3 new characters each year. Since the tooling for Goku and Vegeta's bodies were exactly the same as previous figures, I am hoping we get lucky and we'll see some other much-needed characters that could be created similarly. Most importantly, I want to see them make a base-form Future Trunks (non super saiyan) using the same body as the SS Future Trunks they already made. A Jiren wearing his shirt could be made with a different torso and head. A SS Gogeta (from the Janemba movie) could be made by recoloring the SSB Gogeta figure. There are a lot of opportunities for parts sharing, and I hope we see them take advantage of it, and start releasing at least 6 figures each year.

I'd just really like it if less stuff was Target exclusive. Granted, I LOVE that place to bits. But being Canadian absolutely has sucked since 2015.

I just found SSJ3 Goku in stores, and have to echo the reviews that he is amazing. His face doesn't look the greatest, but this is a huge step up from the Irwin SS3 Goku. Easily the best 5 inch Goku body ever made. Does anyone know if you can swap the head of this one with the Target(?) SS Goku made using the SSB sculpt?

If I remember right, the Target exclusive SS Goku head doesn't fit the neck properly. The non-exclusive SS battle damaged Goku from Namek's head is a perfect fit though. I'd just buy one of those and use it.
