Bandai Hobby MG Figurerise Son Goku Dragonball Z Model Kit (1/8 Scale)

Instructions for assembly are very poor

Great Product and very good detail to the figure. Was very entertaining to put together and easy to follow along with the Japanese instruction booklet. The hands at times fall off when moved a lot but once posed they hold up well.Recommended for Model Builders and DBZ fans

My 12 yr. old son and I purchased the Goku 1/8 model kit (for too high a price) and he loves it. I was disappointed that I could not find any directions in English, but it was easily put together with the diagrams and the clearly marked pieces. The gi is loose (I assume it is supposed to be as it jiggles a bit). Some pieces need to be creatively put into place, so it is best to take your time and be careful, (the pegs that attach the pieces together can easily break if you are rough). Be sure to follow the directions when putting the foot pieces together, if you don't follow the directions and keep a piece at an angle it will not fit into the shoe and you will have to take it apart (which is really hard). The stickers are really easy as long as you are patient. I kept the pieces that needed stickers attached to the plastic frames to ensure that they would not move while placing them. I did not attempt the water decals; the permanence of a mistake was too much. :) Once it is all together it really is a great toy and changing the faces is really simple and easy. The only problem was the hand joints are really flimsy and don't hang on to the hand (Goku's hands will just fall off) and one of the hand joints just snapped in half. Disappointed at that but all-in-all we give it two thumbs up.

I got this model of Goku never having done one before. It was fairly easy. The instructions were in Japanese, but there were pictures and it was very, very easy to do it just going by those. This model looks like the cartoon. It even came with different patches for Goku's Gi. One for when he trained under Master Roshi, one for King Kai, and then one that is just the Z-Fighters symbol. The only downside that i could think of is his hands. The way the model is set the hands fall off easily when you move them. If your going to just set it a certain way and set it there it's fine, but if you plan to play with it, it will be a problem. The changeable faces are nice, and his biceps even flex when you move his arms the right way. I'd recommend this for anyone who loves DBZ. I plan to purchase the Super Saiyan Goku version, and any other they come out with. I hope this review helps.

This is absolutely amazing, at great first when you see all the pieces you might not want to build it. If you like to design and build this is execellent. My 10 year old son love it and he was more facinated that he build the toy by him. It is great for mind building it is an A+++

I love Dragonball and Goku is the main guy on Dragonball so I was excited to get this set. I love the little touches such as rubber bottom for the shoes and flexing biceps, but this figure feels more Gundam than a human being since everything is made out of plastic and you can see all the diving lines on him. He doesn't have the bottom part of the chin so you get a big gash like gap between the neck when you have his head looking up. Also none of the clothes move and the sash's ends move in twos. Somewhat awkward but good mobility so you can pose him in many different ways. I wish you could change the hair on him and also if he came with some accessories.
