Me on G5 Luffy. Which I’m still hoping Anthony will review soon. 😂

Gohan, love him as a character. I liked that he became what he wanted and I love that he returned to being a fighter as of the story nowadays

“Those hip flaps are out of control!” Is what my date said to me when I got shot down at prom.

I will take cloth cape (except for pleather cape) any day over stupid crappy plastic cape split in 3 sections or a rubber cape that u can slap someone into the next dimension with. ALSO, revoltech batman potato chip cape is a big F no On that note that the glue that seeped thru, it is highly likely the white cape will end up turning yellow where the glue was applied overtime. But if u can airbrush the cape i guess u can still fix it. All material degrade eventually, just how bad it becomes or last is probably what most of us worry about

Fun fact if you have the older ssj2 Gohan either version, the ssj2 head does fit on this figure, the skin tone might be different, and it might look a little weird because the head is more sunken down, but that's a thing ya'll can do.

Gohan's always been my favorite DB character. As a meek and studious kid, I were happy to find a character who only fought due to necessity and his sense of responsibility. It's the same reason why characters like Mega Man X and Guilty Gear's Ky Kiske appealed to me back then.

Lmao Faust appealed to me first, idk what that says about me as a person lol

Small scale soft goods are very tricky but when done good it elevates the figure to the next level.

The only thing that bothers me is the one piece shirt restricting the Abe articulation

0:49 luckily if you dont like bread, this Gohan is still Keto. Drink water with it tho, I didnt and am currently trapped on the toilet.

I love this figure but the neck is loose on mine and the ballpegs in the hips problem is actually real. The legs don't feel super tight but it's still putting a lot of stress on the ballpegs when you move the legs for some reason. Mine had stress marks after one day of barely posing him, be careful when moving this guy.

I have seen people talking about qc issues around the hip area that leads to breakage. I think i'll pass this.

Nobody is talking about this issue but when I pop the head off to remove the cape the neck joints become really loose and I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or not.

@AnthonysCustoms

28 күн бұрын

I talked about it...

Been seeing too many cases of the legs breaking off to feel comfortable purchasing this figure. The quality of the Figuarts line is falling, but the fanboys will just attack you for pointing out the lack of quality.

*QotD:* Soft goods can better portray foofier elements of a design (like Doctor Doom's cape from Marvel Super Heroes/MvC2). Something like the Mezco DKR Batman has a good idea for capes too with the heat-sealed vinyl bits that help it drape more naturally. I'd prefer it kept to capes/jackets, mostly kept to bits that largely don't hamper articulation.

Can you just cut the belt loose from the torso? Wondering if this is viable without making it look weird due to extra pieces of the belt.

I never even noticed the glue showing through the cape, even after all I did with it to get the head on and whatnot🤔 funnily enough I’d told myself you’d give this guy a 7 was once you reviewed him and I was right

Gohan was cold for like ...2 seconds there

Yeah I’m gonna stick with my 2.0 battle damaged gohan with the ssj1 and 2 heads once they release like a 5.0 gohan then I will MAYBE buy it but I just cannot keep supporting them with all the issues these figures have nowadays

Good choice. I have both and prefer the original. Got mine from P-Bandaii, tried to return it for QC issues, got re-directed twice then told to get in touch with Premium Bandaii. Absolutely ridiculous. I’ve come to like this figure a bit more since then, but generally I don’t like the direction SHF is going w/ the DB figures- specifically the 3.0 bodies & figure heights.

Here we go!

Idk why tamashii insists on using those weird hip flap things…I think they did it best with super hero ultimate gohan and I’m surprised they haven’t just stuck to that instead

@quintonbrooks7536

Yea the figure is to small for those hips

I bought this Gohan because I did not get the battle damaged version and sold my 1.0 Gohan. I'm not mad I bought it but I'm really not liking what they're doing with the 3.0's. The 2.0's weren't perfect but they were mostly better IMO.

I felt this was a very fair review overall. And yeah, it's easy to see why this figure came out so polarizing. One could easily argue that the older figure is overall better. For me, the best thing about this one is the new faces and hair sculpt. Outside of that, no real reason to "upgrade" from the old figure. Makes me wonder if these new heads fit on the old body.

Hey Anthony are the joints deep enough that you could trim the hip flaps down? They would still be somewhat thick looking around the thigh but I suppose you could sand them down a bit to try and make them flush to trick the eye.

Love them both can't choose between father and son too unique

Only if soft goods are necessary like capes and stuff like that

I know you kind of talked about your feelings on pinned and no pinned joints. Would you be able to explain in one of your videos since you do design figures what is the benefit if there are any of one verse the other? I enjoy no pinned joints as much as the next person, but if it’s the same color, it does not matter to me.

Gohan's always been my fav, and for a long time I really wanted him to become the main character of the story, but as I grew older I started to understand that that wasn't what Toriyama wanted for his character, and more-or-less began to accept the character he becomes later; I'm also quite partial to Superhero's nerdy dad take on his character lol. As for the cape on the figure, I'm kinda 50/50 on it. The glue thing honestly doesn't bother me that much, it's more just kinda how see-through the material is. I think what have been nice would've been nice Imo would be if they put some kinda silky, almost reflective fabric on the inside to bounce some of the color of the uniform back onto the figure, and I also think it'd compliment the plastic parts better. But overall, it's not that big of a dealbreaker.

Crotch nuggets has me dying😂😂😂

As for the figure I think it's good but it's not figure of the year material like most of the people on Reddit say, it's just an above average figure for me. One annoying thing though is the heads go really loose after swapping them or having the cape on, make it a pain to pose around

Sucking at something is the first step to being good at something. They had good ideas, but they didn't transition too well in engineering. I can see P-Bandai learning from this and giving us yet another banger of a Naruti figure down the road, but now I'm worried to see how the Full Power Frieza will turn out later this year because it's going to have the same soft plastic as this Gohan. I don't regret passing on this figure. I've also seen several posts of this figure breaking at the hips, too. Maybe a reissue would help address the QC issues like they did with Future Trunks, but i still wouldn't get this. I'd rather wait for a 2.0 (3.0?) SS2 Gohan and fingers crossed a Perfect Cell 2.0

Blud finally got it!!

Gohan will always be my favorite he was so cool and has so much development! I love this figure it represents this iconic moment so good!! Wish they make a future gohan or ultimate Gohan soon!

GOHAN🎉❤❤❤❤🎉🎉❤❤🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!

The hip flaps on my look significantly better. Not exactly perfect, but not that bad.

Gohan was the goat, until he settled down. I was happy for him but he was so cool😭. So happy that he has beast now.

The legs are definitely the weakest point of the figure for me but overall solid release can’t wait for the Ss2

Yes, those hip flaps suck but they can be tucked and posed away.. I give it an 8

Gohan. I wish he had more passion for martial arts after the cell tournament.

Gohan all the way. Tbh none of what u mentioned as a problem bothers me some i didnt even notice. The only annoying thing id say is it needed an effect part and maybe a super sayin 2 head. Other than that i really like the figure.

I like the figure and yes they should did it better. They attempting to add soft good so they could do better and reissue more characters with soft good

Gohan is my favorite character in Z and he’ll always be at the top of my list, sucks that Super has no idea what to do with him besides repeating the same character arc over and over again. Still love Goku tho

I will never, ever forgive Tamashii for doing the thigh swivels the way they do with their 3.0 products. Using a screw to secure the peg to the upper thigh instead of it just being part of the mold like the 2.0 figs is an objectively bad design. I always have QC issues with 3.0 figures, and it’s always the lower body. Always. Aesthetically, the 3.0s are better and it’s not even close, but I much preferred posing the 2.0 figures because they seemed way more durable.

Some might say he is not tiny at all but of average height.

As soon as I saw the hips and the lack of ab articulation, I knew this was a rip off. This is marvel legends levels of disappointing, which is said because legends and SHF DBZ were my favorite lines.

Oh well, thankfully all my characters figures already have good iterations that were made in the past.

iirc toriyama wanted the series to end after the cell saga with gohan taking the lead role. but goku got so popular that he continued with goku. this is pretty evident when you watch the last episodes of the arc. goku dies while "helping" gohan protect earth, vegeta vows to never fight again, trunks goes home and kills the androids, piccolo takes kami's role and watches over earth, yamacha and tien go train(?) & krillen ALMOST gets the girl

I WAS a teen gohan enjoyer, but back to Goku

The hip flap complaint from you is a dumb nitpick. A regular person admiring your collection would NEVER say "oh man your collection would be perfect, if only gohans hips were flush." Like bro at this point i think you take whatever you can get just to say something negative about something. This isnt a future trunks leg qc situation.
