It looks like it could be a part swapped version of Goku. It would be very easy to get a figure that looks like this, you would just need to add a super saiyan head to the normal Goku body and then repaint the wristbands and the sash purple. I've actually been working on a custom just like this, I noticed how close the gi on normal Goku is to the gi on SDCC Goku and decided to make my own variant. I imagine that's what's going on here as well. If not it's a very interesting figure.
one major giveaway may be the skin. If all the skin below the neck is painted but the faces are unpainted glossy plastic it may very well be a custom.

I won it less than $100, there are bidders on it but it didn't go high probably they are getting it for profit investment.
I know what a custom paint would look like and how paint or plastic base reflects light, and also the seller is a toy importer so it might just a odd figure of the bunch.
anyway, real or not, I only find the purple sash and wrist band unique so I bid on it. I am aware of how people can swap parts around.

Looks like it's an assortment of parts from various figures. Body is clearly from a Regular Goku; his arms and sash appear to be from a SS3 Goku's and his head is from a Manga SS Goku.

just trying to help you out. One other thing you might check, maybe the joints have different plastic. I know the normal Goku has strange light neon orange joints, if the joints on this Goku are darker maybe it means something.

Hey guys, I have the money for Goku but Im not exactly comfortable buying it now. Do you guys think it will go up in price anytime soon? Im talking about the SSJ Goku. I wouldnt want to skip out on buying it now just to have it jump in price weeks down the line

If you have other priorities(other stuff to spend on) then you should focus on it first. If you don't then mines we'll buy it. I don't think the price will go up anytime soon because he just got rerelease. Seems like your serious on collecting this line so if you have the extra cash and no priorities on other stuff then go for it.

There seems to be an abundance of Goku figures. I think Tamashii made A LOT, especially for Regular Goku and the SSJ re-release. Which makes sense, he IS the main character and if most casual fans are going to buy ONE DBZ figuarts, it'll likely be Goku.

Well if you like him get him now while his still in $32-$36 range. This line is not going to get cheaper unless you get a used one.
