My bad. I got the pic out of one of the links that DragonBoxTheMovies had posted, didn't realize they had a hotlink block up. ^_^;

Either someone got to take a photo of a display, or someone's got their limited edition dvd/blu-ray box already. O_O

Wall figure ssjg Goku, who while much less cute than DX Goku, does have accurate ssjg haircolor going on there.

The only English song for the film we know of is the English version of CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA. A lot of people in this topic have discussed the the English version of Hero and were a bit confused about it even existing, because it hasn't had an official release so far as any of us are aware.

For the sake of the series's integrity and dignity, I would hope not.

I was imagining a cross between Goku, Chrono, and Assassin's Creed.

I imagine the original Super Saiyan God draft as Goku with huge muscles (like Broli), golden long hair (shape like SS4, but length of the back hair like SS3), and a golden cape.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

From what I heard it kept the muscles, had some sort of cloak or cape, and had hair between SSJ3 and SSJ4. Closest image I could find to that was Rocio-Mb's concept of SSJG.

The more I'm seeing and hearing about SSJG Origin story and original design the more I think of a mix between Superman, Sailor Moon, and Goku, and I don't like it one bit!! :think: :lol:

It was too different from my own internal image, so I tried suggesting the more sturdily-drawn character one more time, and then Sensei told me that it really was all wrong.
I would swear that it is said somewhere that the hair were golden, with a mix of SS3 & SS4 hairstyle though... :think:

Hair wise I think Rocio-mb's version nailed it unless you count Salvamakoto's version, the infamous gold SSJ4 concept (still my fav concept)

Close-ups of some of the larger new figures on this blog:
http://ameblo.jp/banplanet/

Hoping they're similar in price to these ones here which, from what I've seen on Play-Asia, aren't all that pricey; but considering they're tied in with the new movie, I kind of doubt it.
