I like the honest reviews. If a collector is going to pay actual hundreds of dollars on one figure, I wouldn’t want to just hear that it’s great when there are issues, no matter how major or minor. I haven’t seen other reviews yet, but I expect they’re saying this is incredible because of the size, like you said.

Honestly the neck articulation, and lack of paint kill this for me. I'd definitely buy it if it had some pre-shading on the armor, or at least a wash for the damaged bits, and some proper paint apps for the exposed fur/skin. Sure it's a lot of plastic, but there are way too many missing paint apps for me to justify buying him.

I personally prefer when a figure doesn't have *too* many painted parts. It might not have a sort of high quality finish because of the paint, but that means you can fiddle around with it without worrying about chipping the paint. Kinda like with Takara's Masterpiece line. Too many painted parts + high quality gloss finish = new paint chip every time you breathe on it

Anthony’s speaking facts like always. Crazy cool figure but as a collector ready to pay that price I expected more. For them to make it look that good and for a figure that iconic but to decide to put zero paint and shading ? How come ? For sure they knew that would be a huge complain from fans. I like it a lot but it could have easily been sooo much better. They should literally take notes from your videos, lots of the issues about s.h would be so easy to fix and make such a huge difference. I also feel they could have done better without raising the price or maybe 20$ MAX like c’mon for that price don’t give us basic thing to complain about. But in the end I like s.h, I like my great ape vegeta and I like the best figures review chanel that Anthony’s customs is 🙏🏼

You're very informative unlike many other reviewers which go for a more simple approach (not that it's a bad thing).

Looks like they really tried to play safe with the figure while also trying not to go too far budget-wise because they weren't sure how well this would sell due to being like 3x the price of your average Figuarts figure. Hoping they'll learn from it and return for a 2.0 or at least a special edition version that has an actual paint job/etc. Maybe do the standard Goku/Gohan version in the future as well to round out both the Dragon Ball and Saiyan Saga figures.

I think all of your complaints are justified by the inherent size, and the SH Dragon Ball line, they often don't paint because a wash would clash with the aesthetic of the show, which this guy captures really nicely despite not even having shading. Being as big as he is, you wouldn't wanna throw some paint on him for no reason just for articulation to cause chipping and smudging too. And speaking of articulation, again the size accounts for his engineering, the bigger the figure gets the more you have to stipulate on, I feel the Super Broly max power(?) figure was the sweet spot but this balances sculpt and articulation very nicely given his scale. For the price of $180, this is great value coming from the SH line.

I'm not saying they should have lost money on it but being that they have their own factories and are on the market selling like crazy for ages they could have thrown us collectors and dedicated costumers a bone to pick.
