Hey timone317, I saw your post on Toyark about Nappa and was wondering why you think Nappa doesn't have a stoic face? I've yet to see one. There's a cocky grin, charging yell, and the shocked/"over 900" face but no head with a plain expression. checking again, it seems the product page mentions 3 replacement faces, maybe they just haven't shown off the normal face. If so, great. Yeah, I noticed the official product details says 3x interchangeable heads. I know a few previous releases mentioned more faces in the description but never showed them. So hopefully we'll get that stoic face.

While he looks great for the most part. I really wish he had removable armor and was anime colors. Also, something about his legs bothers me. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is but they just look off. I'll probably still get him though.

Majin Tomato Yeah I'm still surprised Raditz played such a small role in the series, he basically existed solely to give Goku more of a back story and open up more possibilities for exploration in the series. Like you said Nappa played an even smaller role, he was only in the series to make Vegeta seem more intimidating and show how much stronger Goku had become. He owes almost all of his fame to TFS. He pretty much salughtered all of the Z fighters. Nappa cemented his legacy in DBZ villainy long before TFS. He was always a favorite of mine. I like TFS, but I get really tired of their fans.

And that would be fine, if he had exhibited any personality beyond "I'm a meathead sidekick." Don't get me wrong, I never disliked him... he served the story purpose he was created to, demolishing the Z-fighters and being a punching bag for Goku. He just... didn't have much longevity beyond that.
I'll put it this way: There have been what if scenarios where Raditz has lost his memory and has fought with Goku and the others, or has fought with Bardock. Those what ifs happen because there is untapped potential for stories with the character, because of his familial connections. Nappa just... doesn't. He has no background beyond "I'm a saiyan elite warrior," no connection to anyone except Vegeta (who thinks so little of Nappa that Vegeta murders him), and aside from a few flashbacks, we don't ever see him again.

tsarquise If having a high body count determined how important/iconic a Dragon Ball villain was then Majin Buu would be more iconic then the likes of Frieza. In anime/manga personality is everything when it comes to villains and that is something Nappa was severely lacking in. Don't get me wrong I don't hate the character I just don't think he was very memorable compared to other villains. You seem like a really cool guy but we both obviously have very different opinions, so let's just leave it at that before we get too off topic. After all this thread is about the figure and not the character himself.

I took that more as Saiyan culture where a broken Saiyan should be put out of their misery because they don't have the ability to fight anymore.

Based on the images it looks like it is a separate piece at least (the shot of him in the fighting pose has the tail resting higher than it is in the regular standing shots) and we see the seam in another, but I dunno how removeable it is.

I think he'll only come with 1 tail which will be the wrap around type. Maybe Tamashii Nations will release a Nappa without armor and include a loose tail.

This looks like a nice base for a custom underwear Nappa. The Nappa that went all out on Goku(ocean dub). Just look at that smooth body movement animation. I miss DBZ.

I'm a big fan of villains (we need more!), but I'm not willing to drop the MSRP down on this guy. If he does go down in price, I'll make sure to pick him up later on.
I have to admit for a big fellow, he looks really good.
If he released with a SSJ or SSJ3 beard.. then we'd be talking about a whole different ball game.

Nappa looks good Adrenaline ssj2dakota he might possibly pass for 5 inch scale, but I don't know for sure... he's probably too tall for Irwin and Jakks figures (at nearly SBC Broly's size...? Possibly?) Vegeta though, looks way too tall and big
