I have to agree, the happy face is wonderful. I can only hope they'll include a Super Saiyan version of that face in the box as well. =P

That said, once again, "dammit!". lol Now I still need to pick up 2 Gohans, Piccolo, grab Vegeta and 2 of Trunks when they are released in the states, and then have to track down SS3 Goku (and this base Goku, is he a Japanese exclusive?) and hope its not expensive as hell.

I am loving that shade of orange! Screw canon (in regards to Super Saiyans having lighter colors due to glowing), I wish this had been the original Goku Figuarts release with an optional Super Saiyan head. They are doing it with Trunks, so I don't see why Goku would've been so hard.

I still need to get Piccolo as well. I originally wasn't going to, and was just going to get Goku, Gohan and Vegeta, but the normal Goku looks so great, so I'd like to have another figure closer to his strength to have him fighting against on my shelf. Also since I've recently purchased Dragon Ball "Season Five" earlier this year, and the Piccolo Jr. vs. Goku fight is one of my favorite fights.

Vegeta was seemingly delayed, which is good as it gives me extra time to get him, and Trunks shouldn't be out until the mid next year.

Also, I don't think it's US release has been announced, but I'd imagine this one'd be coming in the US as well, as they seem very successful here. I hope an announcement one way or another comes soon, as I don't really want the Piccolo figure if I can't get the normal Goku.

WOW! The scultures Vegeta got pillaged from sites right from preorder. Besides buying the set with android 19 or off of ebay, is there still a way to get it?

That's what makes me love casual clothes Goku... it strikes me more as the happy-go-lucky Goku that I love.

And after waiting patiently by the mail box for weeks, it finally arrived.... at my sister's place on the other side of the country for some reason.

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU........

Wow the SSJ3 Goku is already gone from Angolz...

Oh well, still bought the Cell for surviving another semester of finals.

If SSJ3 Goku shows up on HLJ (or anywhere else for that matter) I might pick him up. If I lose him, it's not going to be a big deal. I got the "Casual" Goku figure so I'm happy!

Why on earth would you say this? If you don't want to give out the website, then don't "mention" it to the rest of us. O_o

Be thankful I linked you to the other sites at all, lol. SSJ3 is already sold out on Angolz and from the looks of it won't last long on the sites I listed either (when it's put up) This way you're notified and can keep checking regularly. I mentioned that off a whim btw ;)

Hmmm the Cell is now out of stock, but there's now 6 SSJ3's on Angolz. Hmm, stock manipulation

You can now order from Hobby Link.

I got my order in, so I'm happy... although it's unfortunate that they've increased the prices a little.

Yeah definitely, I think they post them as they get them in, or they could be tampering with stock levels I don't know. The fact is they're selling like hotcakes, no doubt.

It's time:
Image quality isn't the best but these give you some ideas of what to expect:
He is not to scale with MSP, as you can see MSP is 25cm, and he is 22cm +/-. Still I really like him and can't wait to have him in person, the hair is HUGE.

Cell:

Again, not quite in scale with MSP but he comes close:

I think they could have done a better job on the face of Cell, but all in all a pretty nice figure. Looking forward to having it displayed.
