S.H.Figuarts Super Saiyan Goku Super Warrior Awakening Ver. is one of the earlier poseable Goku figures that helped define the modern Dragon Ball S.H.Figuarts collection.

The figure focuses on Goku’s battle-damaged Super Saiyan appearance and remains a recognizable release for collectors researching older Bandai and TAMASHII NATIONS Dragon Ball figures.

This guide explains the official release history, original Japan price, visual design and how Super Warrior Awakening Ver. differs from other Goku figures currently available to collectors.

Collectors looking for currently listed products can also explore Dragon Ball figures and S.H.Figuarts at SENDAO TOYS.

What Is S.H.Figuarts Goku Super Warrior Awakening Ver.?

S.H.Figuarts Super Saiyan Goku Super Warrior Awakening Ver. is a poseable Dragon Ball Z figure produced by Bandai and TAMASHII NATIONS.

The figure represents Super Saiyan Goku in a heavily battle-damaged appearance. Its torn clothing, exposed upper body and intense expression give it a different collector appeal from cleaner Goku releases based on the beginning of a battle or later Dragon Ball Super transformations.

These details refer to the official Japanese release. Current availability and secondary-market pricing can vary significantly because this is an older figure rather than a newly announced release.

Why Is This Goku Figure Called “Awakening”?

The name “Super Warrior Awakening” emphasizes the moment when Goku appears as a fully transformed Super Saiyan warrior.

Rather than showing Goku in a clean introductory pose, the figure focuses on the physical damage and intensity of a major Dragon Ball Z battle. That makes it especially suitable for collectors building a transformation, Namek-era or battle-damaged Goku display.

What Makes the Figure Visually Different?

The official product images highlight several design features:

• Bright Super Saiyan hair
• A battle-damaged upper body
• Torn orange trousers
• A blue sash and boots
• An intense battle expression
• Poseable joints for attack and fighting positions

The older sculpting style also gives the figure a different visual character from more recent S.H.Figuarts Goku releases.

Goku Awakening vs The Games Begin

Super Warrior Awakening Ver. and The Games Begin both represent Super Saiyan Goku, but they are not the same product.

• Super Warrior Awakening Ver.: Focuses on a damaged, intense late-battle appearance.
• The Games Begin: Uses a cleaner orange outfit and is better suited to a classic Super Saiyan display.

Collectors should not use the two product names interchangeably. Someone searching for goku awakening sh figuarts is usually looking for the older Super Warrior Awakening version rather than The Games Begin.

Goku Awakening vs Ultra Instinct Goku

Ultra Instinct Goku represents a much later stage of the character and belongs to Dragon Ball Super rather than the classic Super Saiyan period of Dragon Ball Z.

• Awakening Goku: Super Saiyan transformation, golden hair and battle-damaged Dragon Ball Z styling.
• Ultra Instinct Goku: Silver hair, later-series transformation and a different fighting appearance.

Awakening Ver. is the stronger choice for a classic Super Saiyan or Dragon Ball Z shelf. Ultra Instinct is better for collectors focused on Goku’s later transformations.

Is Goku Super Warrior Awakening Ver. Worth Collecting?

This version may be worth collecting for:

• Fans of classic Dragon Ball Z Super Saiyan Goku
• Collectors interested in older S.H.Figuarts releases
• Fans building a battle-damaged Goku display
• Collectors comparing different generations of Bandai Goku figures
• Fans who prefer intense battle poses over clean standing designs

However, collectors should remember that age, box condition, replacement parts and secondary-market prices can affect the value of an older figure.

The exact Super Warrior Awakening Ver. is not presented in this guide as a current SENDAO TOYS product listing. Use the official information for identification, and check current store listings separately before purchasing.

How to Identify the Correct Awakening Version

Before ordering an older Goku Awakening figure, check:

• The complete product name on the box
• The S.H.Figuarts and Bandai branding
• The battle-damaged body design
• The included faces, hands and accessories
• Whether all original parts are present
• The condition of the figure and joints
• The packaging condition
• Whether the seller is showing photos of the actual item

Do not assume that every battle-damaged Super Saiyan Goku listing is the Super Warrior Awakening Ver.
