The new collectible was shown alongside many other Dragon Ball figures. If you're unfamilair, Goku Black is one of the main villains Dragon Ball Super's arcs about Zamasu and Goku Black, and he's not someone you want to mess with.
Goku Black burst onto the scene as an evil version of Goku. The baddie tormented the future and forced Future Trunks to travel back through time again, seeking help from Goku and his father Vegeta. Later, it was revealed Goku Black was actually a character known as Zamasu, a rookie Kai from Universe 10 who wanted to kill all mortals.
In Zamasu's ambitions to eradicate all humans, he travelled through time and stole Goku's body before killing many gods and humans. Since Zamasu operated in Goku's body, it was the first time fans saw a canon evil take of Goku, and plenty loved the idea.
Just like Goku, Zamasu is able to unlock the Saiyan's God Ki and power up into a Super Saiyan. Goku Black was even able to go go Super Saiyan Rosé, a form which fans have since adored. However, this new Goku Black figurine by SH Figuarts doesn't display the transformation's pink hair fans fell in love with; Instead, this figurine shows Goku Black in his base form.
Fans have already expressed desire for SH Figuarts to make a Super Saiyan Rosé figure as well with many fans showing their support on Reddit for the collectible.
"Oh please oh please oh PLEASE let it come with a Super Saiyan Rosé head," one eager Dragon Ball Super fan pleaded online.
At the moment, Toyarc hasn't given fans any indication about the possibility of a Rosé hair piece. Still, fans are sharing their support for the latest Goku Black prototype figurine, so fans will want to keep an eye on SH Figuarts line-up as the figure's sell date is still TBD.
