About S.H.Figuarts Son Goku (Kind-Hearted Saiyan)
S.H.Figuarts is Bandai's collector-grade line of anime figures, sold under the Tamashii Nations brand. This release is a new sculpt of base-form Goku, with expression parts for a smirk, a grimace, and a scream, and an alternate head with windswept hair, for recreating battle scenes. Amazon shows 4.4 stars across 905 ratings, but that rating is shared with the other Goku styles on the same listing, so it is not a rating for this figure alone.
The reviews for this style are positive on the interchangeable parts and mixed on quality control. One reviewer calls it one of the best figures they have bought, with parts that fit together well and come apart easily. Another gave 4 stars over a wobbly waist and a loose toe joint on their unit, and a third had a neutral faceplate chip near the eye and needed a replacement. It is a figure for careful posing, not rough play.

What Real Buyers Say
“This is one of the best we have ever purchased. This Son Goku action figure comes with so many interchangeable parts and they all fit together so well. They come apart easy enough that your child isn't cranking the parts back and forth to force them apart, and the pieces also seem to snap in just ever so right.”

“The figure is fantastic & detail is incredible but I'm only deducting 1 star because of the QC issue of the waist being too wobbly when you shake it & the toe joint for the left leg being too loose. It's worth the price.”

“Spectacular! No qc issues whatsoever and no loose joints amazing for a base goku for display and it is a good product overall it's decent to start a beginner collection. Edit the neutral faceplate was chipping on the eye so I had to get a new faceplate but still good.”
