MG Goku. Seriously.

At first I thought this was a joke, but no.

New images showing MG Figurerise 1/8 Son Goku and the other new plamo kits from Bandai Hobby Division for November and December mentioned in this and this previous posting:

MG Figurerise 1/8 Son Goku - December release, 3,675 Yen (inclusive of tax).

awesome!

It does look kinda cool and is huge. I'm tempted and curious, but I don't know... I wonder how this is gonna work. Hopefully they do a Piccolo too. If they're gonna do figures as MGs now, there's a few more I think would just be awesome. Gally (Alita) is one that would be especially cool.

I'm waiting for Briareos.

That'd be awesome, but I get this sinking feeling that it'll never happen due to licensing. Him, Deunan and a Geuges D would be my top choices as well.

As much as I dislike Dragonball, that kit looks pretty impressive.  Definitely fits Bandai's "Action Figure Kit" description.

When I first read Goku, I though Dragonball, then I saw MG and immediately dismissed the idea, even given the title of the post. I thought, hmmm... never heard of an MS called a Goku...

Neat idea and with Bandai's amazing engineering it will be neat to see, but imagine all that paint scratching every time you repose it.

Paint? On an MG kit? Perish the thought! 

The more I think about this though, the more I am tempted to pick one up. Could be fun.

I hope they provide waterslides for the eyes like on the Miyazaki kits.

i am very intrigued by this - especially to see how they pull off the plastic coloring...

Not too bad. I wonder if the orange clothing has bare skin (ala MG internals) underneath for potential ripped clothing effects.

This is way too awesome. Any one of you master builders that takes this on would be my hero.

I think Bandai did produce some DBZ kits years ago. Anybody remember those!?

This looks like a much better effort so far. Can't wait to see more!
