Making MG Figurerise Son Goku

Hi there,

Just taking a few minutes here to share some pics and my thoughts on MG Figurerise Son Goku! ^^

This was my first time building this kind of model so I didn't do any fancy paint finish or anything like that, I just quickly put him together in the most basic way possible XD.

It is quite easy for beginners, and even if you don't read any Japanese, or can read just a little like me, it's still very easy to follow along the instructions.

There's a lot of pieces! It kinda felt like making a giant puzzle that comes with instructions.

One thing I really need to mention, is that this Goku has like the coolest articulated biceps ever! It's hard to explain so watch this great video instead (at 0.08) and you'll see what I mean. It's really amazing!


Did you hear that awesome muscle pop? :D

Here's some photoshop lameness. =p

The only complain I have, is that if you are not careful, the hands fall off very easily when you move his arms. They don't seem to clip in or anything, they just sort of "suck in" but there's not enough suction or something.

He also comes with a cool stand (which you also have to assemble) that allows him to do all kind of flying poses in almost every angle you want.

You also get a choice of stickers or decals. I used stickers cuz it's easier...even if you mess up you can unstick and stick them back on and they still stick ^^

He's pretty poseable too, I was fooling around with some figures trying to copy their poses and it's pretty close I think.

              It's like, the original DBZ anime, but cutting out all the filler crap that wasn't in the manga and faster paced so there's more action per episode. Totally rocks.

      Goku is 1/8 scale. He is about 9 inches or 23 cm tall. I think the other MG Figurerise are about the same as well.

    Whoa! I didn't really care about this MG Goku before. It looks cool, but I didn't really want another model kit to assemble, but after seeing that bicep demonstration... He's looking pretty cool!

      Yeah the bicep flex makes him 100 times cooler me thinks XD. I kept him in his box for a few months before I got down to assembling him >_<

        Haha only a few months. I've got years for some of my kits XD But yes, the bicep flex makes him OVER 9000 cooler! Maybe I'll get the Super Saiyajin version if I decide to get it ^^;
