The cape itself is made of plastic, so it doesn't move.

The cape sections at the back of the shoulders are separate parts that move to a certain degree,
giving the arms room to move.

Two heads and three face parts are included.

Stand and effect parts

A Gohan head and one right hand are included for recreating that iconic scene.

Leftover parts

Limb articulation

Pulling the elbows outward to extend the range of motion is the same as previous figures.

Posed with the cape on and arms crossed.
The arms are a bit short, so getting a convincing crossed-arm pose is tricky.

A new Gohan head is included, which can be used with the separately sold Figure-rise Standard Gohan.

These are the parts for recreating that iconic scene.

Together with Goku.
As you can see if you look closely, the torso and leg parts are the same.

Piccolo has finally made his appearance in the Figure-rise Standard lineup. Given how prominent he is in the series, it feels like he took quite a while to arrive — and the torso section reuses runners from the existing Goku kit.

The overall sculpt and facial expressions capture Piccolo's look really well, and I especially love how the complex color combination on the arms has been perfectly handled through color separation. Since the body is shared with Goku, the articulation characteristics are identical — it shows solid articulation and joint strength, so posing isn't much of a hassle.

The turban and cape are included as separate pieces and can be removed. They're not soft material so they feel a bit rigid, but the cape sections at the shoulders are articulated separately, which does help preserve shoulder range of motion. That said, the cape makes it hard to get a proper pose anyway, so it's honestly easier to pose without it. For effect parts, you get the Makankosappo parts and a clear stand, and as a bonus there's a Gohan head included to recreate that iconic scene from the original.

As an action figure, it actually feels like it captures the original character even better than Goku does in terms of sculpt quality — so if you've been waiting for Piccolo to come out, don't hesitate to grab it. :-)
