Good question! I just compared the two, and while similar, I do believe most of SS3 Goku is new, unique parts. The chest is definitely new. The belt/sash and shoulders might be Vegito's. The biceps are similar to Vegito's... so I'm not sure about them. The hips/crotch might be Vegito's. The abdomen is definitely not Vegito's. The thighs might be Vegito's.
I don't mind them reusing parts when they make sense, and so if any of those parts are the same as Vegito's parts, I am okay with it! Vegito was a very well engineered and designed figure.
It's a little disappointing to see that Goku is the same body as SSB Goku and SS Goku since the shoulder situation on that body is very amateurish compared to SSB Vegito and other more recent figures. It would be amazing if the production version was different, but even if it isn't, it won't prevent me from buying him.
The Vegeta body has always been good other than the proportions being wrong for Vegeta and the very unfortunate kneecap design.

Is there anything that can be done about the ssj/ssjb shoulder situation? In my opinion they are some of the best looking evolve figures and pose nicely other than those horrible spacer things😭

I can't think of anything at the moment, unless they make another Goku figure without those visible shoulder rings. You could repaint a Vegito torso, but given how articulated these figures are, paint rub might be an issue. In other news, I went to my local Target and they had 5 Evolve figures recently put out. Strangely, they were all Ultra Instinct Sign Goku from a few years ago. I assume they are reissues. They all had a sticker over the UPC barcode, and they all had very tiny pupils. Google has no listing for UPC 045557363703 and brickseek.com doesn't know it either. Weird. I researched why Target would put UPC stickers on packages, and here is the only possibly relevant quote from Reddit via a Target employee: Target has red stickers that say REPACKAGE on them if that's the case, so that's not what is happening here. They also have yellow CLEARANCE stickers, and again, that's not what these are. Furthermore, they have AS-IS stickers, and that's not what these are either.       Someone else recently reported their Target having several Jiren on the shelf. No pic of that was posted though. |

Didn't grab a photo, but my Target had a shelf of multiple SSB Gogetas and nothing else. I assume they are reissuing sets with older releases, like how Dragon Stars is reissuing older figures in the new package style. |

Yeah, I've been looking every few days to see if the new evolve figures have been posted anywhere, but I haven't seen them. I really hope we don't have to wait till ~August like almost every other year.

Awesome. Their pricing is rough for people in the US though. They can't compete with the goliath Amazon since they ship for free.

They did the ssj3 hairsculpt better than dragon stars in my opinion, and the face sculpts are really nice other than ssj3's forehead being a little big

To me, it's the best SS3 Goku in this scale ever made. I'm very impressed. The figures are listed on Amazon, but they are not yet available for pre-order. I would assume that will change in a day or so. Here are the links! SS3 Goku: amzn.to/3PysW1wGoku: amzn.to/3PtXHozVegeta: amzn.to/3PyAiCx |

I ordered an extra SS3 Goku (in case I love it and want to replace an old SS3 Goku in my collection on another shelf) and an extra Goku (in case they never make a SSG Goku and I want to tweak the hair sculpt and repaint it metallic magenta/red). |

Hopefully, they’ll share ball joints to be able to make this:  It would make for a great Cell/Buu saga Goku, and a easy base for a SSG one (he has the sash in BOG.) |
