This GT Kid Goku is a hugeee announcement for a few reasons
Number 1- To all GT fans, I never fully took the SS4 releases as they were gonna make a GT line. It could have solely been one offs. With Kid Goku the true GT line starts now. We should be seeing Trunks and Pan following soon with villains afterwards.
Number 2- The scale, This new Kid Goku is noticeably better proportioned as well as shorter. This is what we have been asking for and if your a fan of other smaller characters like Kid Trunks and Goten we now have the blueprint.
2024 is gonna be crazy for this line! I really love how GT Kid Goku looks. I think he comes with great faces and accessories. I’m mostly happy about his size.

GT Goku is part of the FighterZ roster, no doubt a very popular Dragon Ball game, and something Tamashii showed they had plans to complete two years ago at the Battle Hour event. The only reason why they did Goku and Vegeta is because... they're Goku and Vegeta. I personally am skeptical we're going any further than Baby and possibly Omega Shenron as far as antagonists go. I'd love for them to prove me wrong here but knowing them, I doubt it.
Still a solid release either way you slice it, just unlikely we'll see much more in the way of GT going forward if this is the approach they're taking.

I'm so happy they finally will be releasing GT figures besides SSJ4 forms, I hope this is a good omen for at least the main trio and other characters (like Uub for example), kinda dissapointed not seeing the four black star ball with him though

I would be incredibly disappointed if we don’t at least get GT Trunks and Pan after this. I’m also slightly disappointed Goku doesn’t come with a Super Saiyan head, but, as others have said, this could be a Super Hero Gohan situation again. If he came with a black star Dragonball, I’d feel a bit more confident in getting (6) more GT characters, but oh well. Can’t complain too much about a figure I actually really want for once.

Parts that come with other figures is a horrible practice & I hope it doesn’t continue. Which is why I’ll never have a “complete” Gohan because I refuse buy those lame Gamma figures.

Easy pass, but I am glad they are trying to make small characters smaller.

Well, another Goku. I might get this one eventually.
But why the hell the neck had to be so big? lol

Yeah, I’m not too keen on it either. At least if you’re buying GT Goku, there’s a good chance you’ll also want the rest of the GT crew. That’s all I’m thinking. If Pan and Trunks come with parts for Goku, that’s fine. On the Gammas point, they actually were alright characters in the movie. Nothing I’d want in my house in action figure form, but reasonable DB characters.

Very cool release! Hope to see more GT figures, but I'm not expecting much outside of Baby and Omega Shenron anytime soon.
Super Saiyan 3 will probably be its own figure if it gets a release. They'll probably need to engineer the neck peg to be different like the adult SS3 Goku.
Although, why do I feel like the version with a tail is gonna be an event exclusive. 🙄 *Sighs in British* 😂

crisis oh, I can afford it, it's just a matter of whether or not I'll actually get a satisfying amount of enjoyment out of it. With my collection being the size it is (large), getting new figures isn't always all that enjoyable. I really like the Dragon Stars Omega Shenron I received a few days ago, for example, but it's possible I'll never look at it again after the 30 minutes I spent messing with it.

What are you doing? Don't give them ideas! On a serious note, yeah that's one of two possibilities with this release. The other being what everyone else is saying and his SS/SS3 parts being lumped in with other figures. Kind of wish Tamashii would go back to giving us figures with loads of accessories like what they used to do. All this is assuming they bother to continue with GT in the first place, since it's largely considered the "black sheep" of Dragon Ball (even if it's an objectively better sequel than Super, but to each their own) and Tamashii has only shown very mainstream GT characters as of now (SS4 Goku, Vegeta, and now Kid Goku.) I still think they're in it for the FighterZ characters and no one else since that's where the money is.

They’ll probably do the Fighterz GT characters first and then depending how they sell will influence more
So like say Kid Goku GT and Super Baby 2 do well/meet/exceed their expectations they’ll branch out a bit and do say Pan and Omega, then if those do well continue for example. Start with the garunteed best sells (since fighterz, not counting the SSJ4s since like, of course they do well) then see how it goes
Do we know how this is being released/what accessories or just that it’s not a P-Bandai release? If it’s a budget release I’d be surprised if we get anything beyond the blast effect and a couple faces (and the blast only because he’s so small) but if it’s a “regular” retail release (so like Trunks or Imperfect Cell for example) I could see him coming with the tail and maybe an SSJ head.
If they make him budget though I think that’s smart, get people into the line so they’re more likely to want more GT figures. The vast range of Gohan parts with other figures sucks if you want all of them but I do think releasing him as a budget retail release was REALLY smart, he sold incredibly well and was very in demand for a while, which I think reaches more than just “hardcore” collectors.
It’s good to have figures to get new people into the line with, and if we want more GT figures doing that with one of them is a good place to start
