S.H. Figuarts Goku

Dragon Ball toy figures have been around for a long-time, however I never bought any because the quality was never anything impressive.  Most of the time they were simple looking figures with not much articulation.  Thankfully that all changed when Bandai came out with their S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball Z toyline.  Since then the line is the premier toy line for Dragon Ball figures.  The figures are highly detailed and are highly articulated making them perfect for posing in many ways.
The first version I bought was this basic version of Goku, or Son Goku (2014 version).  He comes in his iconic orange and blue uniform, minus the Turtle school patches (which I didn’t notice were absent until later).  You also get various accessories such as different hands, faces and a kamehameha ball.  While I view S.H. Figuarts as toys, I would also suggest they shouldn't be heavily played with (because they are fragile); rather they are best used to decorate a desk or shelf and to pose and take pictures with only.  Either way I’m sure you'll enjoy collecting them (at retail prices).
