Bandai is giving Dragon Ball Super's Super Saiyan Blue form a full resculpt, and the shoulders alone are worth talking about. Confirmed via Tamashii Nations' official product listing, S.H.Figuarts Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Son Goku (Blue Power Transcending Limits) releases July 25, 2026, built entirely from new modeling rather than reusing an earlier Super Saiyan Blue Goku sculpt.
Bandai has released Super Saiyan Blue Goku in Figuarts form multiple times before, but this version is specifically framed as new tooling, with a mechanical upgrade to the shoulder joints that's meant to noticeably improve how the figure holds dynamic battle poses.
Here's what's confirmed about the release, what's included, and how it compares to the companion Super Saiyan God figure Bandai revealed alongside it.
Tamashii Nations' official product page confirms the following:
Bandai built new structures into the chest, shoulders, waist, and knees specifically to improve both appearance and mobility, with the shoulders getting the most significant upgrade through the patent-pending Dynamic-Movable Shoulder System. For a character whose signature poses involve wide, dramatic arm positioning during powered-up battle stances, shoulder articulation that holds those poses convincingly without looking mechanically awkward is a meaningful improvement over older Figuarts tooling.
With three interchangeable expression parts (a grinning face, a clenched face, and a shouting face) plus five pairs of interchangeable hands, this figure has more posing flexibility than a typical single-expression release. Combined with the interchangeable flowing-hair head part, collectors can recreate a wider range of specific battle moments rather than being locked into one default look.
Bandai revealed this figure alongside a related release, Super Saiyan God Son Goku (God Aura), which already shipped June 27, 2026. Both figures share the same 145mm scale and new Dynamic-Movable Shoulder System, giving collectors the option to display Goku's God and Blue forms side by side using the same core engineering. If you missed the God Aura figure at its June release, it's worth checking secondary-market availability separately, since it's no longer a new release itself.
With five pairs of hands, three face plates, and a swappable head, this figure has more small parts than a standard single-expression release, making organized storage worth planning for from the start.
For keeping the figure itself protected at this compact 145mm scale, EVORETRO's acid-free PET protector case gives a close, dust-free fit without oversizing the enclosure.
For displaying Goku in an active battle pose rather than a flat standing stance, EVORETRO's 4-step acrylic display stand gives the new shoulder articulation a stable base to actually show off.
July 25, 2026.
4,400 yen, including tax.
The main body, 5 pairs of interchangeable hands, 3 interchangeable expression parts, and an interchangeable head part with flowing hair.
It uses entirely new modeling, including a patent-pending Dynamic-Movable Shoulder System for improved posing.
S.H.Figuarts Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku (Blue Power Transcending Limits) gives Dragon Ball Super collectors a genuinely retooled take on one of the franchise's most iconic forms, with a shoulder articulation upgrade that should show up clearly in dynamic display poses. With a July 25 release just days away, it's a good time to make sure protection and display plans are ready before the figure arrives.
Keeping the extra hands and face plates organized and giving the new shoulder system room to actually pose makes it easier to get the most out of this retooled release.
