I understand why some people wouldn't want this Vegeta. The figure from the review is different from the one previously shown. They are both prototypes though. I do prefer the one revealed though. If the one that was reviewed does happen to be the one we all see in hand, then I am still on board. He still does look awesome and will look awesome next to armored Trunks. That's just me though. I just got the PC version a few months ago just so I could have SS Vegeta without spending $150 or more. This one does look better in my opinion. I will still end up getting him even though I don't feel as hyped as before.

I can't wait. Finally a Vegeta with accurate boot tips I find the articulation around the crotch area to be weird, when you compare the figure with the PC Vegeta. It's as if too many layers have been put together in that region. I have just started collecting the SHF DBZ figures and I cant decide if I should go for the PC Vegeta or this one (at present I have the Scouter Vegeta) In my opinion, I would wait til this Vegeta is released. I do agree the crotch area is wierd but does allow for better articulation that wasn't available on the previous releases. It's kinda growing on me since armored Trunks has the same thing. I cannot wait for this Vegeta. Best one yet I hope.

I don't even care for Buu saga at this point. Only thing I liked about it was Majin Vegeta and Super Buu (without any absorbtion). If they had to make Buu saga figures I'd only get those. I personally don't even really care for Gotenks. I'd rather get the entire Ginyu Force over most Buu Saga characters. I agree wholeheartedly. Majin Vegeta was the epitome of that saga. To me the Z series died after the Cell Saga. There were some good moments from the Buu Saga but there is no comparisons to the sagas before it. That's just how I feel about it.

I was really disappointed he wasn't there either. That was my number 1 most wanted from the recent ones we've seen. It seems there really is no rhyme or reason to what they display sometimes. The Buu's were such a tease. I doubt we will see them for a very long time again. I hope SSJ4 Goku hasn't suffered the same fate. The minor events are the displays that will usually give you a hint on what will be released next. Premium Color Perfect Cell, for example. The October Tamashii Nations event displays have no rhyme or reason to their release schedules, just to display what they've been working on. Well considering Ultimate Gohan and Vegetto didn't sell well, I think Bandai is staying away from the Buu Saga for now. After they complete the Cell Saga with Vegeta, Gohan, and Perfect Cell I am hoping we will see those two Super Buus that were teased last year. Maybe then they well get around to Majin Vegeta. I am hoping so at least but with Dragon Ball Super being a thing, they will most likely focus on characters from that show I think. Tien and Yamcha would be nice. More so Tien cuz I am not a big Yamcha fan but some people are. Also, a re release of Krillin with the skin tone eyes would also be nice. It could be the reason but I think Vegito and Ultimate Gohan would have had better sales if they had the Gotenks and Gohan absorbed Super Buu counterparts scheduled as the following releases. Tamashii Nations is focusing on the Buu Saga with the other Character Categories such as Figuarts Zero and Figuarts Zero EX so that's good to at least see the Buu Saga having representational products. That's a good point. I feel that way too. Since they didn't release those two Buus that were teased, a lot of people probably felt like there was no reason to buy Gohan and Vegetto. I did end up getting Gohan anyway just to have him. Not sure about Vegetto just yet. I do like the accessories he comes with. I don't follow the Figuarts Zero or EX line so not sure what to say there. I guess we just have to wait til October to find out what's in store.

Updated: New pics showing my new acquisitions. Probably going to stop until Super Vegeta is released. On the fence about Beerus.

Ok so I had more time today to play around with Vegeta a bit and I noticed there was excess black paint on the nose of his screaming face. I scraped off what I could but I was afraid I would accidentally scrape off some of the skin tone paint in the process. It seems the rest is blended in with the skin tone somehow. I thought of using sand paper very lightly on it but that may rub off the skin tone paint too. Anyone else experienced this and know how to fix it?

Doesn't the new Trunks have a decent amount? I haven't got mine shipped from BBTS yet (waiting on next order before I do) but I thought it was supposed to have a bit. Vegeta and Frieza definitely seem to be the best though, hopefully tamashii will start goimg back that way once this new mold style becomes a bit more routine. The new armored Trunks does come with two heads, one powered down and one for super saiyan. The powered down head only comes with one face, the stern one. He has three faces for his super saiyan form. Three sets of hands and the crossed arms come with him also. Better accessories than normal but still not even close to Vegeta or Frieza. I think at this point Bandai knows we will buy them regardless so they skimp out on the accessories. Either that or it's just marketing strategy.

So I finally broke down and got the Figuarts version. I did pay quite a bit for him but after receiving him yesterday, I have no regrets. Even came with the brown shipper box. I took him out and inspected the legs first since that seemed to be the issue with everyone else's. They are a little loose but he does stand up on his own. I may go ahead and use the nail polish trick anyway cuz it seems they may be an issue later on. His legs do come off pretty easy and so does his hip. Found this out as I was swapping tails. Not really a big issue though. I am still very happy with him. Probably should have waited til he got a re release but I couldn't wait anymore. Even with the minor issues I think this figure is one of the best in this line. Wish Bandai would release more figures with accessories like this one.

So, who else thinks that the next battle damaged figure should be Majin vegeta? And the following year for sdcc maybe that same vegeta but gray? (Stone when he killed himself) For sure. I kinda figured the next one before SSJ2 Gohan was gonna be Majin but I guess they're holding him off for a bit later. I can't really think of any other battle damaged character they could release that's as iconic as Majin Vegeta. They already have Goku and Gohan's main ones, so all that's left is good ol Vegeta. This right here would be epic Yes Yes and more Yes! I have to agree. Battle damaged Majin Vegeta would be epic! Vegeta is one of their top selling characters so I feel like they have to do him at some point.

Just got my Golden Frieza today. He is smaller than I was expecting but he seems to scale well with Vegeta and Goku. I haven't had much time to pose him yet but from what I could tell, he was made very well.

I have definately thought of it but I am not good at painting and afraid I will mess it up. I also wanted to paint the hair black since I am not dropping $200 on a Scouter Vegeta. I just use the datong version head as a base head for now. You would figure Bandai would release another Vegeta figure with a base head but I am not holding my breath. Get someone like Anthony or some other custom maker to do it. Problem solved! Do you know how much he charges to paint a head? I may go that route.

Has anyone thought of painting the boot tips on PC Vegeta white? Perfect solution for those that want the OG but don't have the cash for it.

Although I have been keeping up with Super since the Future Trunks arc, I do also feel that it lacks the imagination that Z had. It does have it moments but it's really no comparison to the show I grew up on. With that said, I do like Super and would like to see a Future Trunks figure made from Super as well as Goku Black. Other than that, I would much rather see more classic characters released.

Found him at Barnes and Noble for $43.99. I snagged him immediately. I am really impressed with the quality on this one. Although his ssgss hair is more matte and doesn't match Vegeta's, they still look good together. I still wish Vegeta would have came with a base head but I just use my datong Scouter Vegeta head with him.
