A thorough review of the S.H.Figuarts Goku Black -Super Saiyan Rosé- figure.

SHFiguarts Goku Black -Super Saiyan Rosé- is an action figure that faithfully recreates the popular villain from "Dragon Ball Super." The Super Saiyan Rosé form, enveloped in a pink aura, is brought to life with metallic paintwork, making it a must-have item for collectors.

Product specifications and accessories

The figure, made of PVC and ABS, stands approximately 140mm tall and comes with three interchangeable face parts (normal, smirking, clenched teeth, and shouting) and interchangeable wrist parts (two left and three right). This allows for a variety of poses, including the recreation of the Divine Slash and Kamehameha from the film.

The appeal of form

The hair has a metallic finish with a reddish tint characteristic of Rosé, and the unique gi features intricately rendered wrinkles and sagging, with a luminous effect recreated through painting. Improved eye prints enhance the natural gaze and facial expression. Although parts are reused from the previous Goku Black figure, the Rosé-specific colors create a more unified and visually stunning appearance.

Mobility and posing

Utilizing the traditional articulated frame of SHFiguarts, it boasts high flexibility in the waist and hip joints, allowing for natural-looking kicking and charging poses. The matte finish on the body creates a toned proportion and enhances its poseability.

Points for collectors

This re-release, specifically for owners of the previous version which commanded a premium price, is perfect for displaying different versions of the figure. While it's a shame that effect parts aren't included, the variety of facial expressions and paint quality make it highly satisfying. Recommended for Dragon Ball Super fans and SHFiguarts collectors.
