S.H. Figuarts Broly and Super Saiyan Goku! Ones power is Maximum, the other is simply mediocre!

I've been busy with school, yada yada, and most of my classes were very write heavy. That, and I have way too many toys to begin with. I actually sold off a metric fucking ton of them, including my SDCC Goku. Sure, he was cool, but I liked $400 more, and prefer the manga colors of the Jap release. I also bought the Japanese Gohan, selling my SDCC version for $200. Go me. He'll get reviewed with Vegito in May. Today though, is  Broly's time to shine. His power is maximum after all.

   

   Broly comes in a big ass box, so I knew he's be tons of fun. I'm failry certain this is the biggest Figuarts since the silent era. He's solid too, with the box weighing more than a pound. Probably, scales are for fat people, so I don't own one.

 

 I didn't really expect much in the way of accessories, having owned Figuarts before. Only Trunks and regular Vegeta came with anything substantial, but his size more than makes up for it. He comes with 4 hands, two faces, three glowing balls, and a stand. Why three glowing balls ? Nobody knows. I interpret it as meaning Broly secretly enjoys juggling, that is when he isn't trying to kill Kakarot.

Broly always wanted to be a clown, but couldn't contain his rage.

Sculpt wise and paint job on Broly are gorgeous, he looks like he stepped out of the first Broly movie. Possibly the 2nd too, but we don't mention that, or the third one. Poseability is solid,  though he does have huge joints. Surprisingly Broly can hold off plenty of poses well, despite his bulk and tiny feet. His legs are a bit odd under the kilt though.

I had a lot of fun playing and posing this guy, as the picture below will tell you. He makes your other Figuarts look like the plebs they are.

All you waifus are belong to Broly

Do you even lift Goku ?

   This is probably my second favorite from the Dragon Ball Z Figuarts line, after Trunks. His price tag is $30 higher than the rest of the line, so its up to you if he's worth it. I'd say he is.  I give Broly Figuarts an 8/10, mostly due to the price. He is a must have for any DBZ fan. Now onto Goku, who's mildly disappointing to say the least.

   Goku was one of the three releases from the Dragon Ball Figuarts line before it become mostly overseas bound, and web shop exclusive in Japan. Essentially this means he gets thrown back into production every so often, along with Piccolo and Gohan. The rest of the figures, thanks to strict Japanese exclusive laws, will most likely never be released again. But hey, you can still get these three, easily the worst in the line.

   Well thats . . . underwhelming. Five hands and two faces! No base, no stand. The figure has a decent paint job, and the articulation is nice enough. The back of the knees look terrible though, but it's the same on Regular Goku, and most likely Vegito, who all use the same (outdated at this point) mold. Maybe they'll update it for Teen Gohan. I doubt it too.

  He can pull of some decent poses, but you need a stand to do the cooler ones (thank you Broly)! I do like the paint job more than the SDCC exclusive. The DBZ anime may have aged like milk left in the sun, but the manga is solid regardless of time. I do still watch DB Kai though. Anyway I'll give Goku a 6/10. He was only $30, making him the cheapest out of the line, but he's a bit of a letdown, especially when compared to Broly.
