If I had to guess the SSJ1 and 2 Gokus are probably the most likely to get a release, Congrats, you guessed right Anyway, this is the worst release i've ever seen for the SHFiguarts line, and not just for one reason:
- He is completely failed, and i wonder how it can happen seeing how good previous Goku used to be. - It seems they won't add an SSJ2 head - BTW: ANOTHER GOKU !! He's my favorite character ever, but i'm tired of seeing him being basicly released every 6 months !! - And what about LUNCH ?!!
- How is he completely failed? - They might, but you're probably right on that. Sucks to say the least, but I wouldn't lose hope for SS2 entirely (you know Tamashii and their "attention" for Goku.) - As am I, but this is likely a marketing stunt to get people invested in the line. Not excusing Gokus being released every six months, that's just why they release so many Gokus. - Lunch is most likely coming. I'd estimate sometime between July and October of next year. It would be asinine for a display-only prototype to get this far in development (though, we may or may not have said that with SS3 Vegeta and many others who will never see daylight again.)

I don't mind the amount of Goku's and. Vegeta's we get in this line. For every Goku or Vegeta, we tend to get 5+ other characters.. So it's still fine. SH Figuarts is better than Dragon Stars for this. Goku and Vegeta show up in 90% of the releases of Dragon Stars.
I think we've been incredibly lucky to get the sheer amount of characters we've got in this line so far. It amazes me tbh. I used to think the Jakks, and Irwin line was diverse. I never dreamed we'd get a line up this diverse for such a high end collectible line.
Goku and Vegeta are sure fire sellers for Bandai. The line has taken off so much, but Bandai probably still like the security of Goku and Vegeta so the abundance of them probably actually paves the way for a few "risky" characters a year to pop up.

crisis this image was shown in a japanese magazine, this image was cut by me for My Facebook page Dragon ball figuarts. The Prototype shown had this face in 2009 but never was released, then came with normal Goku Here another face that Never been released as that smiling face Wait, what magazine showed these? If I can find what magazine showed these, I might be able to pinpoint images of more scrapped Goku faces.

Huh didn't think my guess would be proven right that fast lol. : p I like the idea of a not base Goku coming with a smiling face but... yeah that doesn't look all that great. I shouldn't be surprised they seemingly didn't but I thought they would bundle in the SSJ2 head with it. Does 2 change anything besides the hair? Like do his eyes change or anything? I feel like they could have just made the faceplates fit both

This Goku looks kinda bland, not gonna lie. I'm gonna pass on this one. Besides, I prefer my villains in body armor And Piccolo, which I'll eventually buy.

The line needs a Goku every 6 months or so to keep the line afloat. I read something a while back (I think in relation to Marvel Legends) about how it’s smart to always have the main character available. You see it in every other toy line. Every Spider-Man wave has a Spider-Man, every Xmen wave has wolverine. Bandai are actually very smart for putting different variations of the same character out each time thereby convincing serial collectors to purchase them as well as new collectors.
Regardless of that, the smiling face doesn’t look great. Then again, I’m not sure many of the smiling faces on any of the figures look particularly good. Maybe it will look better when they release the unfiltered promo shots.

Absolutely well said and bang on!!! I have been preaching this same point man. We have literally been getting so much diversity as of late, I am definitely down for more Goku’s and Vegeta’s as well. Plus they are the staples

Figure oh maybe, I remember I had to put more black background in the picture with photoshop to do it the square form. I don't Know If I have the scan in my old computer Here was found, as you see I put more black in the background. Nice search job sexylady

Just by watching the pictures we have, basiclly everyone agrees to say he's not looking good, especially for the smilling face For the SSJ2 i guess he will come in 6 months yes, and it then really could be a SDCC exclusive lol Yes, many prototypes in the past never saw the light, and seeing how far in the calendar was the last DB character released (almost a year: Chi Chi), i'm not optimistic at all for Lunch. She should have followed Burta, she was revealed the very same day as Frieza and Raditz. I guess there is no more love for that line despite that major characters were still to be made such as Yamcha, Lunch, Tne Shin Han, Puerh & Oolong. And i'm pissed to figure i really might have for good a collection with those guys missing meanwhile Jackie Chun is done.

Is still possible this Guko will come with a SS2 headswap, just like SSBlue Vegetable came with a SSGod headswap.
Besides, I’m pretty confident we’ll get a new version of Mastered Ultra Instink Gokou soon, like the Moro Arc version. In my opinion the one that’s already available is very bland; it lacks shading & the hair doesn’t look so dynamic. Even the muscle definition was lacking. They’re going to make a better version, mark my words

Anyone interested in a 2011 SDCC Super Saiyan Goku? Figure is in pristine used condition and comes with all accessory pieces. Original package shows minor fauxing to corners, a small crease to flap and some yellowed tape residue left on one side of the box. I'm asking for a friend Attachment Deleted
