would love to see the new and old one side by side.

Updated post with US release details.

5.5 inches??? This doesn't even scale with the rest of the line.

The photos of him next to other characters would say otherwise I believe. He's also the same height as other Goku releases, such as Goku Black, God Son Goku. The DBZ line ranges from 135MM to 175MM tall depending on the character.

if this is true, ill pass then

Preordered both Goku and Freeza from BBTS. Super excited to get these guys.

Yeah, Goku's pretty much guaranteed to be the proper scale (or, at least, as close to it as Figuarts can get). No worries there.

The Figure Rise model kits do a much better job with the knee joints, IMO. Figuarts should really follow suit.

wait a second? it says 5.5" but is that from the top of the spiky hair or the head? cause i just looked at a video talking about the Saga version and he is 6" but from the spiky hair but from the head he is 5.5" also

Eh, they break up the sculpt regardless, I honestly prefer how Figuarts does it.

Also seeing SSJ4 Goku makes me salty that his Figuart got shelved...

Yup. I'd love to see some GT designs come out of the Figuarts line, but that probably won't happen anytime soon.
