MASTER STARS PIECE 超サイヤ人ゴッド SS 孫悟空 スーパーサイヤ人ゴッドスーパーサイヤ人 孫悟空 MSP SUPER SAIYAN GOD SUPER SAIYAN SON GOKUU

This is completely a statue,no moving parts (no arm raise or even turning waist). About 273 mm tall (to the tip of the hair) and weighs about 437 g . It is a solid lump of plastic.

I thought this God SS design was rather simple (SS2 hair in greenish blue or blue jade) . I thought SS4 Gogeta design was more appropriate for the God SS design. Regardless,  I bought this lump of plastic for its sculpting and paint job. If you want articulations , the upcoming S.H. Figuarts would be a better choice but you don't get the sculpting ,the realistic paint job and the much bigger size.

I don't know why Gokuu (悟空) is misspelled or incorrectly written as Gokou on the packaging.







The sculpting is very sharp, especially the hair.





Very nice muscle tone.





.....though the skin tone is a bit dark, looks like Gokuu has just returned from a holiday in the Caribbean











Too bad the hair is not made with phosphorescent plastic or the hair can glow in the dark.



Hair looks nicer and more realistic than the S.H. figuarts counterpart.



The clothings are quite realistic and natural-looking.
 




The paint job is way better than other more expensive toys (better than Sentinel 千値練! )



If you look at it at this angle, Gokuu looks like he has two horns.





The excellent paint job brings out the Toriyama-san signature boots design. The soles are made with hard plastic.



In Japan, if you are lucky at the UFO Catcher (UFOキャッチャー) machine , you get this MSP for several hundred yens (ens) .

The cat ネコちゃん  reminds me of Karin カリン in Dragonball Z.



Sometimes you have to try it several times....



....or sometimes one got very lucky, only 300 円 (600 円 was inserted for 6 plays), so he got it in 3 plays !



This one is for a different prize item and it just refuses to come out!



I hope they will make a Master Stars Piece SS4 Gogeta in same pose as this Master Stars Piece. Bandai made a DX high quality SS4 Gogeta statue before but it is not in a pose I like, though I must say the sculpting and paint job on this are also excellent.



I wonder if there will be a SS God SS Gogeta スーパーサイヤ人ゴッドサイヤ人 ゴジータ??

I have a feeling SS God SS Gogeta might appear in Dragonball Super (ドラゴンボール超 ).

Will there be a White hair Super Saiyan? Like flame : Red flame --> Blue flame --> White flame (hottest flame),but White hair won't look good but old !
