Glad I managed to snag him on pay later at Hobby Genki..he's an expensive boy with shipping and I didn't wanna pay this month. 😂

Turles looks perfect. No ifs, ands or buts.

Never in a million years did I think I’d want a Turles figure. Goddammit tamashii, you’ve done it again. Perfection.

Never would I have ever thought I would see an official SHF Turles. The original Goku Black.

Yes it is definitely a retooling of Raditz. On a side note I always thought it was ironic how Turles & Goku look identical but aren’t related, and Raditz & Vegeta have the same exact widows peak hairline but aren’t related either. It wasn’t until later when I realized that the widows peak is just a common Saiyan trait. In flashbacks of ancient Saiyans they have the same hairstyle as Vegeta.
I also recall in an old interview with Toriyama where he said that it’s possible Bardock had siblings, but he either didn’t know or didn’t care. So with this information in mind, in my own headcanon, Turles is Goku’s long lost uncle.

I don't mind companies re-using molds as long as the molds fit the characters. jakks loved re-hashing the same torso for so many figures, and sticking Vegitos face on Gogeta's body with the earrings still on. Plus, look at the amount of accessories they're giving us. They're nailing the movie characters. Turles and Cooler both look amazing. I imagine Lord Slug could be next, due to his involvement in Xenoverse.
If you had asked me a few days ago if I wanted a Turles figure I would've said meh, but he's probably my most anticipated figure now.

TURLES?! That’s amazing! Talk about unexpected! Definitely will be picking him up.
Hopefully this means we’ll be getting more movie characters in the future. Pre-transformed Cooler, Meta Cooler, Slug, and maybe even the other forms of Z Broly would be phat.

I wonder if this is the result of Tamashii keeping track of all those polls over the years? They would list all sorts of C & D-list characters, some of them most fans haven’t even heard of. Turles must have won a few of those polls.

Upon looking at it further, after somebody commented on Facebook, I think Turles would scale more like this next to Raditz. If the real side-by-side looks anything close to this... I'd say they scaled Turles perfectly.

Such an easy pass for me.

Off-topic but Tamashii finally revealed the Spider-Man: Take Me Home figures as well. I’m curious to see what the unmasked face sculpts will look like, though.
