Great review MP! Including the artist and his prior work was an awesome touch! Linking your review for the MD version below for anyone that may be interested in comparing. ua-cam.com/video/ER4ttlKJ7a0/v-deo.htmlsi=H9q_4J3V47nyo52b
I'm forever grateful to a friend of mine that picked this up for me at a NYCC. He even said it was their last one in stock so I got extremely lucky! I picked up one of the prior releases years ago when it was first being sold. I bought it through BoxLunch I think. But they mistakenly sent me the Manga Dimensions version instead of the Brush version. And I HATE the Manga Dimension version of figures lol. When I tried to exchange they apologized that they had no more in stock to exchange. I was stuck with the MD version. But they at least refunded me like $40. So I only paid $20 for it. Still wish I had that original brush version though. I can't believe you're going to still try and get all 4. That's MONEY. And that's coming from someone who also spends a ridiculous amount on this hobby lol
That’s a crazy story!! I’m also in the party that thinks MD is extremely overrated. Some are cool, but the novelty doesn’t hit me as good as a traditionally painted figure. Yeah - I look at the prices for all of the SMSP figures and think “Am I really going to do this?” It’s intimidating, but I know it will be pretty fulfilling as a collector. I’ll have to balance it out with regular content creation somehow. We’ll see if I can complete it by end of 2025!
Bro, it’s actually wild that you uploaded this today, because mine literally showed up on my doorstep this morning. Lol it may be the greatest figure I’ve ever owned. Simply. More than worth what I paid for it.
Nice review on an amazing figure! I don't collect SMSP but this figure is just too good! Crossing my fingers and hoping it gets released at accessible retailers later. Thanks again for doing these videos, they are fun to watch and super helpful.
Bought this figure from Ebay a couple days ago! First ever purchase on a figure where I didn't even think about the price before buying it. I have always wanted the original version and I'm super glad it was re-released! amazing review as always btw
This figure really is a step above most others! The sculpting, colors, and shading are absolutely immaculate. Seems totally worth getting. Not a fan of the suports under his foot, tho.
hey man love your videos. I checked out Ebay for this figure and it seems that it will have another release in April 2025, yours is Oct 2024 and I know the original one was 2020... do you know if different releases usually come with changes? Thanks a ton!
@@gavinwkc so the original release had 4 different versions that I mentioned would be covered in a future video. This is the daimatsuri version which is the 5th, new version. All 5 have different paint finishes and this one has a slightly upgraded face. Idk about any future releases, but I would pay attention to what version of the 5 they’re marketing in that listing. They aren’t making any other versions of him besides the Daimatsuri for now
I was gonna say I prefer the other one with blue shirt , green pants and white belt but after seen the price of that one... this one is better 😅 way cheaper
I'm a big hater of this rerelease. When it was announced I finally went and bought the original. The original may be the best DBZ figure of all time. The rerelease looks like it sat in a smoker's home for 5 years or was soaked in saiyan urine. The colors are so ugly. The belt in particular. I'm guessing they swapped the colors up to differentiate it from the OG but wow do I think the palette sucks

That’s awesome! Enjoy!
Simply one of the best basic Goku action figures ever made (including old versions similar to this one). FANTASTIC !!!
Couldn't agree more!

Epic figure & review! I've wanted at least one of these for years now, thanfully my mate go me this version for xmas & I was freaking out 😂
Very cool!!!
i’m praying that they bring it to the NA bandai premium site. I like it compared to the older versions, though all of them are great in their own way.
