Honestly, I don't mind the skinny look of SSG Goku, now that I look at it more. The figure, as a whole, has a nice look to it. Who knows, when they release official pictures it might be back to the way we saw the arms in the prototype w/new articulation (probably not, but wishful thinking)

As far as SS2 goes... while personally SS2 is easily my favorite form of all time (SS3 was a step too far, and SSG+SSB, while interesting, exist in the same realm as SS4... they work well in their respective series, but aren't as iconic for me) and I'd love to see actual SS2 heads for Goku and Vegeta despite being unlikely to buy them... the fact is, if you're not Cell Saga Gohan, the differences between SS1 and SS2 are pretty minor. You have to really know your stuff to be able to tell the difference between the two at a glance, and for some characters (like Adult Gohan) it can be nearly impossible to tell without the characteristic lightning aura.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's totally nonsense that Majin Vegeta should not get his own unique heads, especially since so much else is clearly new anyway. I just don't think there's as much of a market for SS2 Goku in particular, especially given that it's really only been showcased in a single fight.

Personally, I love the SSJ2 transformation for both Goku and Vegeta. While the change for Adult Gohan and Vegeta is merely spikier hair and characteristic aura, Goku's SSJ2 form does look different. It has now been seen in Z and Super. And who doesn't want to complete Goku's forms with SSJ2 and, if they come out, Kid and SSJ4. And making a stop motion from SSJ1 to 2 to 3 from the Buu Saga would be so fun. |

Tamashii Nations will release any and all transformations of Goku with the appropriate hair sculpting.
As for Majin Vegeta, seeing it in person with the Super (Saiyan) Vegeta head mold didn't give me much pause. The volume of it looked great on the body. I would prefer more striations in the hair sculpt but if this is the final product I'd be very happy with the outcome. You never know, this was a prototype and could change.
For Super Saiyan God Goku, he did have the older body arms which will make him look thinner in comparison to the newer Goku releases. I still prefer the original prototype sculpting though. I wouldn't be surprised if Tamashii Nations reuses the head mold for an updated normal Goku. I don't believe there was much difference between them in the art.

Just for laughs... take a look at this SSj3 Goku again... Looks articulated, yes? Now look at what the tag says. All I have to say is... Sir or Madam, YOU HAD ONE JOB. |

I'm too happy about finally getting to own a SS3 Goku to care about pee stains, personally.

I think the figure looks fantastic and don't mind the "wet pants".

I think the figure looks fantastic and don't mind the "wet pants". Yeah, the new mold really gives it that extra "umpf". Same goes for the other figures actually. Never thought I'd be excited for Yamcha or Tien figures, but goddamnit I am. Majin Vegeta takes the cake, though. What an absolute beauty. |

I hope he has a release date sometime next year along with Gotenks and a Fat/Super Buu. |
