Really looking forward for a chance to get affordable Trunks! I hope it's not the Manga colors because I don't quite like them much, lol. I think the Manga colors are hideous, especially Trunks. If it's Manga Trunks, it's an easy skip. Kinda hoping it's just a touched up version though so I can sell my old Trunks' and replace em with cheaper versions. I had to pay around $100 each back in the day for em and I'd love to sell em for triple that Crazy how $100 for Trunks is a bargain nowadays....

So, if these are "metallic" versions, would it just be for the Super Saiyan hair? Do "metallic" repaints cost more?

If they do "metallic" repraints I hope it doesn't look like the golden gohan hair send posted. I'd like it to be like vegetas super saiyan god super saiyan hair but a different color

Not to sound pretentious but a lot of us called Tamashii's bluff on this. We figured they'd pull something like this to get around their self-imposed "Web Shop Exclusive" rules. Fans have been asking for these figures to be re-released for years, it's brought up at almost every convention that Bluefin/Tamashii show up to, popular bootlegging company Datong was making a mint off their Vegeta boot-legs, Dragon Ball has recently seen a resurgence in popularity and Bandai-Tamashii has just been getting more and more popular as a collectible figure line, etc. etc.
But enough of that, this is excellent news and FINALLY they're re-releasing SSJ Vegeta and Trunks. It's about DAMN time. Better late than never!
I'll also wager that we might see SSJ3 Goku "Advanced Color" repaint in the near future as well.

About time they realized the cash cow DBZ is and about time they're finally listening to the OVERWHELMING demand. I feel they must've replaced a majority of the business team involved with this line because lately they been giving us what we want and then some. I knew this day would come and I'm glad it's finally here

It's about DAMN time. Better late than never! I'll also wager that we might see SSJ3 Goku "Advanced Color" repaint in the near future as well. It's part of how their marketing works, and it's very simple and straightforward point, a limited edition does not get a re-issue, since that would be deceiving of their consumers and would basically mean to shot their self in the leg. As a different edition, that mean a different product and it's how they can re produce an exclusive product mold back to the market. They did the same thing multiple times with their MonsterArts line. I called this out word to word months ago. That said, while the release itself is an exclusive, the mold is not. So the mold to be re released as an alternate version\ SDCC repaint is very possible (like with SDCC Vegeta). Trunks\Super Vegeta\SSJ3 Goku are most definitely a primary likelihood that we would see in the following years IMO.

Was having this conversation with someone on Facebook and want to know you guys' opinion: What if the "Advanced Color" labeling coming up was a new branding for the shaded-styled coloring that's been used for anime colored figures so far?

If they do Im going to be pissed. I spent 200 on the vegeta a while back and 275 on Trunks. I didn't do that for them to drop in price drastically. If i were you, i'd sell them both while the prices are still high. Once the reissues are out the originals will drop in price for sure. The only questions remain are by how much the price will fall and how different the advanced colors are from the ogs. If the advanced colors are significantly different, price on the ogs should fall slightly (and you could always buy them back and still have a little $ from the sale). If the advanced colors aren't so different, expect the og figures to dramatically fall in prices and you could buy them back if you like or just keep the $ on your gain from the sale.

It's a gamble either way. If the new colors are horrid, then the price may actually climb on the new ones as I said before. Granted, it's very likely a pretty safe gamble that you can at least recoup some profit selling now and buying them back later.

So, "advanced" means basically remove all shading and make the colours darker...hmmm.
