I think they skimped a little on the paint due to the inclusion of the stand and energy effects.

You know, you might be absolutely right. Every figure that's come with a stand so far has also received some sort of complaint...Cell's loose head, Vegeta's issues, Frieza's multiple heads/loose leg claims...what have we had since the stands came into play? Trunks, those three, and the SDCC exclusives. Gohan has somewhat loose legs but at least they stay on the peg and Piccolo has heavily shaded skin but like the original it's just about perfect. Hm. I wish there was a way to get feedback on these things directly to Bandai, I'd gladly accept no stands if it meant better figures.

Anyone remember how much he was when he first was released? I can't remember but I think he was more expensive than the average dbz figuart.

I broke down and bought one. Got him 70 shipped. I just couldn't not get goku. I didnt want to wait and then the price would be higher later. But I'm happy I got him. Now just need regular goku to come out.

Yeah $54.95 was the original retail price. I broke down and bought one. Got him 70 shipped. I just couldn't not get goku. I didnt want to wait and then the price would be higher later. But I'm happy I got him. Now just need regular goku to come out. $70 shipped is actually a good price for SS3 Goku. Can't wait to finally getting around to opening mine tomorrow to fully check it out.

Man I love that look! I skipped on it, but if he looked like that, I would have picked it up without hesitation. Someone must have made a custom, to make it look that. It looks amazing! I mean, look at it!
Now look at it again!

I mean, look at it! Now look at it again! That was a prototype of SS3 Goku from a long time ago. Why they changed it, is a mystery.

They f'ed it up by changing the colors, ah well. Just like they changed 18 or krillin. Although 18 was for the best(anime style) and krillin could be debatable.
