Pre-ordered Vegeta. Dendenhobby store has the cheapest price I could find at just over $85USD shipped. I'm not completely sold on Vegeta, but if I don't like him 100%, I can easily resell. I'm pretty sure I'll like him enough though. It's still one of the best Vegetas ever to come out. To be perfectly honest, we haven't actually seen a good shot of them next to each other, and there's plenty of time to re-do tooling for scale, so I'm not worried about it. Hi, is Dendenhobby a legit store in Japan? Do they sell the four different variations or just one? I am most likely going to end up buying him too. The videos of him look much better than the pictures. But I still like the MSP version more.

Hm, if the figure isn't assembled right and there are paint defects then I am not sure. Not that every figure will be perfect. I do know that the bootleg smsp figures are very glossy for some reason. The original have a very dry look to them, like a bodybuilder with immensely low fat levels before they grease themselves up lol. As for the stickers you can go to google images and type in "different toei stickers" you should find charts with explanations. The bottom of the real stickers will have a pattern and the lettering will be crisp, as opposed to the fake without a pattern st the bottom and the lettering on the stickers are going to be faded or inaccurate. The smsp vegeta I am not a fan of at all. The size is off and the sculpt just isn't screaming vegeta to me. If I had to choose one it would be the tones. I never really liked msp vegeta either and right now I'd say resolution of soldiers is my favorite vegeta. Yeah the figure isn't glossy at all and has the same fresh smell as the Japanese version. The paint marks are tiny and not really noticable unless you look really close. I am not a fan of peeling the Toei sticker because I want my boxes looking new lol. I bought it from a huge retailer in Asia who claims to sell only authentics. The white Toei sticker was the only thing that kind of threw me off, but you reassured me. I agree with you about the SMSP Vegeta being off. I am usually into manga dimensions of figures but somehow the SMSP Vegeta Manga Dimensions makes him look like a fish. I know some people say the regular MSP Vegeta doesn't look like Vegeta from the anime, but something about him looks so real and badass like the SMSP Goku. I own the Resolution of Soldiers Vegeta, and I agree it looks awesome. But it is a little small for my taste.

What I don't understand about this line, is why the box is so freakin cool and big, but the figure is the size of a SH Figuarts. Why couldn't there be a medium between this line and the Medicom line? The face and body sculpts are much better on the D.O.D line, but the size, clothing, and articulation is easily won by the Medicom line.
I own the Scouter Goku, which was too hard to pass up because it looks so cool. I only wished it was bigger.
The Medicom Goku (youth) on the nimbus cloud, might be one of the best dragonball figures ever made. I wish they kept making that line.

There's a list that explains the various toei stickers. No worries, I have the original both 1 and 2 from Japan and the tones in the same packaging, same sticker, and it is the same exact quality too. Most definitely not a bootleg. Enjoy it, it is a beautiful piece of art! Thanks for the reassurance Yelichai. Do you happen to have that list explaining the various Toei stickers? I might need it for future reference. The figure seems legit and looks amazing on its own, but when comparing it to my other SMSP (Two Dimensions) side by side, I notice some quality issues. I expected it to be fully symmetrical with the other statue, but the face seems to be a little lower. Also there is a very tiny orange dot on the forehead below the hair, as well as a few black paint marks on one shoulder. These issues are very minor and I am really happy with it, especially the fact that this cost 1/3 the price of the other one. Hats off to the original Japanese version though, as it was flawless with no blemishes. BTW, are you going to buy the SMSP Vegeta? I think the original MSP Vegeta looks a lot better. I really wish they just jumbo sized that Vegeta because it would look amazing next to the SMSP Goku.

Hello everyone, new member here. I need help with an item I just purchased. I bought the Super Master Stars Piece The Son Goku : Manga Tones. It is the Overseas Asia Versian so the box is different from the Japanese Version, but the figure is exactly the same. I bought it from a retailer in Asia (Not China or Hong Kong) who sells authentic items imported from Japan or USA. The only odd thing I found was that the Toei sticker was white, and I never saw that before. Does anyone know anything about the white Toei stickers? The figure itself looks legit because this is actually my second Super Master Stars Piece The Son Goku. The other one was bought from Japan with regular black box.
