I'm going to get these solely because they are Figuarts but I was pretty surprised to find people liking these. Both of their designs just make them look like weird bootlegs. Its pretty depressing when Frieza: Lakers Edition is more appealing to me. Oh well, take my money already.

I'm a fan, of both. For Goku, the Gi is pretty cool I think and the blue hair of this new form is kinda cool I think. I'm a little bit thrown by this new SS Form though, similar to how I'm a bit thrown by SSG in general as I never had anything against the other SS forms. I like the design, as minimalistic as it is (basically a blue-haired SS1) but will really have to see it in action to really judge. I will definitely be picking it up. For Gold Frieza, it looks very slick. Once again, minimalistic design, really just a color change for Frieza (with minor changes) but I still like it. Picking this up too. Side note: Does anyone think the Goku figure looks a bit pale?

He does look pale. The hair is throwing me off. It looks very constricted, like bunched together, idk how else to describe it. I'm still thinking the resemblance to SSJ2 hair is not just a coincidence. I like the red gi, hopefully the final version of Ultimate Gohan has that color although I doubt it.
The Frieza figure turned out REALLY good. I love the faces he comes with.

Big Lakers fan, so glad the season's finally over. He does look pale. The hair is throwing me off. It looks very constricted, like bunched together, idk how else to describe it.

The Frieza figure turned out REALLY good. I love the faces he comes with. I see where you're coming from with the hair, especially from the front. I find myself liking the look of the hair from the side abit more, but front-on I definitely notice something a bit off. I also think part of the reason I like these figures is because they're new and different, yet they're legit. Not just a custom fan-recoloring, but actually from canon (Whatever that means these days.) Or I just like new shiny things.

The Frieza figure turned out REALLY good. I love the faces he comes with. You and a lot of others keep saying that it is a resemblance to super saiyan 2 hair, and to me, I don't see it. The original and sdcc version of super saiyan goku has its hair molded after Akira Toriyama's original designs of the character, as well as the original anime's look. If you pay attention to a lot of the modern designs of goku done officially for the movies and other media, you can see that this hair is designed to look more like it. While I'm sure modders can easily make this into a super saiyan 2 like head for customizing purposes, I feel that this is just tamashii updating their super saiyan goku molds to match up with the more recent designs... while also slapping a coat of blue paint on it as well lol.

It may be the rigidity of the spikes that's making it more SSJ2 style. The only thing that throws it off is his bangs. The hair itself definitely has more spike to it. It could just be the updated look of the Super Saiyan style like you mentioned. I still think with a little tweaking it could make a good SSJ2 hair mold. If Tamashii went ahead, painted this yellow and called it SSJ2 Goku, I'd accept it. That way, demand for Majin Vegeta would skyrocket too (like he isn't demanded enough already)

Yes I agree 100%, the thing that makes me think it can't pass for a SS2 Goku is because Goku had only 3 hair spikes when he was SS2. Two small bangs on the side and a larger one in the front. And this figure has 4 bangs, and they are all somewhat around the same size.
Edit: I just went back and looked at Goku again and the figure has another 2 small bangs tucked away on the sides, so that makes 6 bangs in total. I think that proves it's can't pass for a SS2 Goku head.

Another thing to think about is that sense they both have the same release date and there are pictures of both of them together in the photos, maybe they could both come together as a package?

One really good thing about this release is that not only are they coming out at the same time, but Ultimate Gohan is coming out the month before. Tamashii is stepping up their DBZ releases! Soon it may reach Kamen Rider levels with one a month! My wallet will hate it, but it would be glorious. I'll take any figures I can get. Bring it on Tamashii!

Same here friend, I'm hoping this is a sign that they are stepping their releases going forward. The only thing I'm iffy about from your last comment is ultimate gohan. Unlike these Rof figures we have yet to get an official announcement from tamashii regarding gohan in September. I hope he is released during that time though as I've been anticipating him for a long time now. Though like the rest of you, I'm still waiting for a majin vegeta announcement... (Come on tamashii get with the program!)

Look at that, folks. I held back from creating Golden Frieza recently and bam! he's getting released in a size applicable to the 5 inch line most likely. I am buying!
