So a would make the perfect gift this Valentine’s Day and give them the drive to keep at the gym. Though admittedly, they’d need to put the work in to catch up to even Yamcha.
S.H.Figuarts Son Goku Figure
Treat your other half to an incredibly well-detailed and articulated figure of Dragon Ball’s leading man, Son Goku this Valentine’s Day. The Saiyan warrior comes with four interchangeable facial expressions, four pairs of hands, and single parts of his right hand waving and another right hand raising two fingers so fans can pull off his iconic “instant transmission” pose. Fair warning: if this is the first figure they’re gifted, this may start a figure-collecting craze.
