Extremely grateful for tamashi for "re-releasing" an affordable vegeta. with that being said heres the only negative things: 1) only 2 faces? vegeta is one cocky MF, he needs a smirking face, a screaming face, and a regular clenching teeth face without looking to the side. 2) figuarts are supposed to be really detailed but they missed the lines on his boots. darker tones on his muscles would have made it look cool and make his muscles stand out 3) lack of accessories: no special effects? i dont think the aura comes with it, he really needs a final flash or a big bang attack. No crossed arms? vegetas trademark pose often has him crossing his arms. he really needs one. scouter vegeta's crossed arms might fit but the shading would be different. i always hated how some figuarts doesnt come with a stand. i really dont mind paying an extra 3-4 bucks just so every figuarts should come with a stand. this is why broly is my fav figuarts of all time (although awakened goku might change that), its has all of these. with that being said, its still too early, some of these could be fixed. and if not those are easy customs. still would buy like 4 of them We don't know how many accessories and faces he will come with yet, we only know the ones we saw.

Not to mention the notion of spending hundreds of dollars on figures instead of feeding yourself is ridiculous, even if it is tongue in cheek. If your income is only enough to feed yourself, then hopefully you are smart enough to not pay this much for anything other than what you need. When it comes down to purchasing something there aren't that many factors to consider, there is a) Do I want it? and b) can I afford it? And if the lines between these are blurred somewhat then I may weigh up whether or not I want something enough to pay for it. If I want it enough, I buy it, if I don't then I hold off until I have more money. I consider myself very good at managing my money. I'm a student, who works one day a week and a bit more during Uni breaks. I know a lot of people in my position who have pretty much lived from paycheck to paycheck. I have been fortunate enough to be able to live a students life and have money left over to spend on things I want and enjoy. If I spend a bit more than usual any given week I just make sure I do the work and save to earn it back, it's simple. Others obviously may not be this fortunate, totally understandable. The bottom line is, paying the money I have for my collection has not negatively impacted my life in any way. Yeah you are right, but I was looking at the other way, for people who aren't as lucky as you and me, but still wants to spend over hundreds of dollars on scalper priced figures. And what you said about holding off money untill you can afford it doesn't really matter with Sh figuarts, you have to buy them right away if you wanna pay retail price, waiting is only gunna do the opposite. PS: sry for double post, I don't know how to reply to two comments at once. People who can't afford to spend this kind of money on these figures probably shouldn't, and I have faith that most people are responsible enough with their own money to know when they should save a bit. Some possibly aren't and possibly would have to sort their priorities a little. Having said that I won't judge people who do this either, if they'd rather buy an expensive figure and make a sacrifice in their life then that is their prerogative. They are indeed taking a risk of negative consequence, but maybe they get lucky and it all works out. And the holding off thing was mostly in regards to older figures I didn't own that were higher in price. New releases are a different story and a bit easier to manage. I can throw a preorder down early and pay whenever I want between the order date and release date, it provides a lot of flexibility. One thing I'm struggling with at the moment is a display case. I wanna find the perfect one and some good ones are quite expensive. Add to that I have an overseas holiday planned next week so I'm gonna have to hold off on the case, as much as i wanna start getting my display set up properly. EDIT: Oh and to quote two posts just click the options on the first post and click 'select' then click the 'quote' button on the second one and it should through the separate quotes together.

I think it's simply gonna come exactly as the original did, no more, no less. If they were to include extra stuff/fixes, I'd at the very least want crossed arms and detailed boot tips. I'd welcome more faces, effects, and a stand but I honestly don't see that happening with this fig sadly

Crossed arms would be great, I don't know why the original release didn't come with them. It didn't have many accessories either, so it would have been great to include them.

The original releases I understand the lack of accessories since they were the first figures in the line AND Tamashii didn't even have faith in it to begin with. No sense in investing at that point. Now I expect no more bare bones figures. 16 will be the last one, mark my words!

True, but Piccolo was the very first one, and he came with way more accessories. And Manga Gohan too.

Seems like Vegeta is always getting the short end of the stick. (Get it, because he's short, haha! No? Okay I'll stop.)

If the AC Vegeta was getting the crossed arms I think they would've shown him with them. After all they already have the Scouter Vegeta ones, no?

He's just gonna come with everything the original came with. SSGSS Vegeta was posed the same without proper crossed arms. THAT I find ridiculous.

I think SSGSS Vegeta still has a chance to come with them, since they just showed a prototype. Gonna suck if he doesn't.

Some people are thinking he'll get an updated hair sculpt as well similar to how Goku did. It would make sense and they could use that for all releases post Cell Saga since there was a noticeable change in the artwork too. Buu Saga Vegeta and on had much more detailed hair with striations as well, Vegeta really needs an update!

Any word yet on when some of our favorite pre order spots will have him up for doing so? ( for example bbts, anime island, etc)
