One of the unexpected perks of being in NYC was being able to visit the Tamashii Nations store in Times Square. I don't know exactly why, but Tamashii Nations repackaged a bunch of their older figures and sold them as store exclusives. I'm reading that Goku here got some new colours and face plates. I just figured finally getting a Kid Goku for MSRP was a smart thing to do.
I think this was about $36 USD, so pretty much priced entry level. Pack Ins are pretty good, which includes 4 total faces, dynamically styled hair, and Power Pole effects.
The body itself would eventually be reused on the Kid Krillin figure, which I do have and enjoy. It's a nice robust body, having enough articulation to keep even myself amused. Combined with the various hair and face options, and you'll have a lot of fun just screwing around and coming up with poses.
Work on the faces and hair is really good. I haven't seen what the original ones look like, but this seems to follow suit on the new Z series figures with the improved facial detailing.
Otherwise, Paint and Build as as expected. Paint is minimal though plastic colour selection is good and top coat seems to be abundant. Build, the only complaint I have is that the stupid tail comes off way too easily.
