The last one is a bootleg. Although I do agree that the SBC SS3 Goku is a terrible figure.

For what is worth, my version of the last one (the bootleg) has a slightly better paintjob. The hole that he has in the front of his hair is actually for a removable line of hair gogeta-style (though my memory could be playing tricks on me) and the reason that is hair is like that is that the actual SSJ3 hair is removable, leaving behind that weird "hair" and a bald back (beautiful).

...brought back memories :)
I don't care what anyone says, the Portuguese dub is the best.

Even as a kid I thought so. His hair always looked like a hat or something to me, and his proportions were worse than the standard Goku/SS Goku body. I wanted one, until I found out about the "Perfect Version" with all 3 Super Saiyan forms.

I think I had several (if not all) of those, except the last one. The Yamcha one is still hanging out at my parents house.

I dunno, that looks pretty accurate to a few shots in the anime.

They came out with bootleg versions of the SCulture series awhile ago but these two take the cake as being the most awful I've seen. I thought it was a joke . :lol:

Nah, IF Labs are pretty good figures overall.

It's when Jakks Pacific took over that the faces started looking baaad. You're probably confusing them.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"
