The pic I posted was also an old one from last year.
The scale was my only beef with him from Scultures is that the rest of the characters in Scultures don't scale with him. But the figure by itself is an amazing piece.
I figure in order to scale with everyone else from Scultures, they'd probably had to have made him a 1/7 scale or larger, which would drive his price up.

Well, SCultures is a non-scaled series.... Most the SC1 are big 7.5-8" scaled, others like SC2 World Tourni Goku, SC4 Trunks &Yamcha are about 6.5"-7" scale(1/10). Which is about as some Hqdx stuff, LoS DX, some of the Kuji prizes. And small characters are made huge in comparison, with Kid Goku, Krillin, Chichi. So it does make snese they made the Gyumao like that. I'd like for them to make the Bear Thief, Major Metallitron, Buyon, Bora since they would scale with Gashapons very well. Just to example the diverse scaling - SC2 Launch with SC4 Launch  |

The size difference between those two Launch figures kills me hahaha. Anyway, this is what I currently have for SCultures.  |

This is why I like this line; four Goku's, but they made each one different and interesting. Nice collection, my favourite is canteen Goku.

I agree with takezo. The series 2 "battle pose" Goku is a damn masterpiece, and can be displayed perfectly with the series 1 Piccolo. Someone told me that they wouldn't get it because they thought Goku's face looked weird, and I simply replied that they were off their rocker. It's a flawless sculpt as far as I'm concerned.
The thing that I didn't like with the Series 4 SSj Goku was that his paint job is too clean. Not to mention that his pose looks a bit odd and almost unnatural. Also his face doesn't really look like Toriyama's work, and his teeth look big to me.
As a side warning, I know for a fact that this figure has already been bootlegged. I've seen a few on Ebay.
However, out of all the figure lines released of DBZ from all companies, I really think that Banpresto SCultures is over-all, the most satisfying one. You get some figures every once in a while that are disappointing from SCultures, but generally their figures are top quality when it comes to sculpt and paint detail.
The convenience is that they're also not usually that expensive either.

Yea even though there are too many gokus, the overall character selection for Scultures is awesome. After all, there are no other lines that made Ox king or mercenary Tao that awesome and like you mentioned, for that price.

Yea. The Arale released for series 4 was a bit out of left field considering how little she appears in the series, but sculpt wise, I think her and Trunks are best ones from series 4.
Her prototype was awesome, but her paint job on the finished piece disappointed me a bit. The sculpting detail in her clothes though kinda makes up for it.
