KAMIONE – Thai Kick boxer – 02 A [A.k.A Gogeta]

Description

The KAMIONE Thai Kickboxer – 02 A is a premium, third-party 1/12 scale action figure produced by Tonsen ArtToys. While the name sounds like a generic sports figure, it is actually a highly stylized, Muay Thai-inspired representation of Gogeta from Dragon Ball Super.

This figure is widely considered by collectors to be one of the most articulated and feature-rich “Gogeta” figures ever made, often surpassing official releases in terms of engineering.

🥊 Product Identity: Why “Thai Kickboxer”?

To avoid licensing issues with official Dragon Ball trademarks, Tonsen ArtToys markets this line under the KAMIONE brand with the “Thai Kickboxer” label. The design is heavily inspired by the athletic, lean, and hyper-defined physique of professional Muay Thai fighters, which fits Gogeta’s fighting style perfectly.

1. Version 02A vs. 02B

• 02A (The Super Version): This version is specifically modeled after Gogeta’s appearance in the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie. It features the Super Saiyan Blue hair and more modern facial sculpts.

• 02B (The Z Version): Modeled after the Fusion Reborn film, usually featuring Super Saiyan (Yellow) hair and a different color palette for the vest/sash.

⚙️ Key Product Features

🛠️ Technical Details & Engineering

• Anatomical Sculpting: Unlike standard figures, the 02A features “shredded” musculature. The serratus, abdominal, and leg muscles are sculpted with deep grooves to emphasize his “Kickboxer” physique.

• Modified Waist: One of the most praised features of the KAMIONE line is the waist piece, which allows for extreme forward crunch and high-knee lifts (essential for Muay Thai poses) without breaking the sculpt’s silhouette.

• Foot Articulation: The toes feature a double-jointed hinge, and the ankle rockers are extremely wide, allowing the figure to balance on one leg for a “Thai Kick” pose.

🌟 Collector Verdict

The 02A (Gogeta Yellow) is favored for its vibrancy. The blue hair has a subtle pearlescent sheen, and the facial sculpts are regarded as some of the most “anime-accurate” depictions of the character ever produced.

Gogeta is the immensely powerful result of Goku and Vegeta performing the Metamoran “Fusion Dance.” He is widely considered one of the strongest beings in the Dragon Ball multiverse, serving as a trump card when all other options have failed.

🌀 Origin and Creation

Unlike Vegito, who is formed by the Potara Earrings, Gogeta is created through a specific ritual:

• The Fusion Dance: Both participants must perform a perfectly symmetrical dance. Their power levels must be precisely synchronized, and their movements must be flawlessly mirrored.

• The Time Limit: The fusion typically lasts 30 minutes. However, if excessive energy is used (such as in Super Saiyan Blue or Super Saiyan 4), the time limit can be significantly shortened.

• Failed Fusions: If the dance is performed incorrectly, the result is either the morbidly obese Veku or a frail, skeletal version, both of which are practically powerless in combat.

👕 Physical Appearance

Gogeta’s design is a blend of his two components, but he wears the traditional Metamoran outfit common to all Fusion Dance characters (like Gotenks):

• The Attire: A black cropped vest with padded orange (or yellow) lining around the neck and shoulders, dark grey or white baggy pants, and a blue sash belt.

• Facial Features: He has Vegeta’s stern, sharp eyes and widow’s peak, combined with Goku’s taller physique and more relaxed jawline.

• Hair: His hair is primarily vertical like Vegeta’s, but it features a single prominent bang that hangs over his forehead—a trait inherited from Goku.

🧠 Personality: The Silent Executioner

Gogeta’s personality has evolved across his different appearances:

• The Z Era (Fusion Reborn): He was depicted as a stoic, silent, and incredibly efficient warrior. He didn’t waste time talking; he simply appeared and obliterated the demon Janemba in seconds.

• The GT Era (Dragon Ball GT): As a Super Saiyan 4, he became much more playful and cocky, similar to Vegito, often toying with Omega Shenron to provoke a specific reaction.

• The Super Era (DBS: Broly): This version is a balance of both. He is tactical and serious in combat but displays Goku’s sense of humor when choosing his name, and Vegeta’s ruthless drive to finish a fight before the fusion wears off.

🔥 Iconic Transformations & Powers

Gogeta has access to every ability Goku and Vegeta possess, plus unique techniques born from their combined styles.

1. Key Transformations

• Super Saiyan: His classic form, characterized by golden hair and a fierce, golden aura.

• Super Saiyan Blue: Utilizing God Ki, this form makes him strong enough to dominate the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly without taking a single hit.

• Super Saiyan 4 (GT Only): Features red fur, a tail, and wild crimson hair. In this state, he is so powerful he can negate reality-warping energy with a single kick.

2. Signature Techniques

• Stardust Breaker (Soul Punisher): A rainbow-colored energy sphere that targets the “evil” within a target. It is visually beautiful but utterly destructive, often dissolving the opponent into stardust.

• Big Bang Kamehameha: A hybridization of Vegeta’s Big Bang Attack and Goku’s Kamehameha. It is a massive, high-pressure beam of blue energy.

• Meteor Explosion: A rapid-fire rush of strikes followed by a massive pillar of light that engulfs the enemy from the inside out.

⚔️ Gogeta vs. Vegito

While both are fusions of the same two men, they differ in philosophy:

• Vegito (Potara) is often seen as “Vegeta-dominant” in personality—more arrogant, talkative, and prone to toying with his food to set up a plan.

• Gogeta (Dance) is often seen as the “closer”—he is the warrior called upon to end a threat as quickly as possible, emphasizing martial arts precision over psychological warfare.
