Now Im not sure if the figure will be a Mexico only exclusive since some people have made a good point saying producing an Exclusive like this only for mexico would be a little expensive, maybe they'll also release it at SDCC and change the packaging cause I do believe the packaging is Exclusive to this Expo (since it has the mexican flag colors) In any case I know the Distributor (Distribuidora AniMexico) who imports these figures in Mexico has had a very good relationship with Bandai Japan for years now and this isnt the first Bandai Tamashii Nations Expo they've done in Mexico and the people at DAM have been working hard to get an exclusive for years (they've tried to get at the very least Tamashii Nations Japan Exclusive figures to be able to sell in their expo but havent been able to, and this year aparently they got Bandai to make and exclusive for their event in Mexico) I know for a fact that a lot of tamashii products sell very well in Mexico (not only DBZ, they practically sell out their imported stock on most lines like Saint Seiya Myth Cloth and S.H. Figuarts), its only natural that Bandai would give that market a special thanks like this exclusive figure

I'm sorry, I just don't see it. I have a VERY hard time believing the market in Mexico is large enough to warrant a several thousand dollar mold to have been produced for a new face sculpt just for one convention. Or mabye they used a different molding technique??? I dunno, it just seems like a huge wasted opportunity if they don't release this in Japan and the US, which I would guarantee are their two largest sources of income. It's not like this is some really messed up colors version where Goku is colored like a Mexican flag. XD
This is basically the DEFINITIVE Goku. It's how Goku should have been and to release it in an area that is apparently going to be impossible to get outside actually attending the convention seems like a HUGE financial misadventure to me...maybe that's just my business side taking over.

Also, I know this hasn't been mentioned, but is that a new chest sculpt as well? The V doesn't seem to go down as far?
