Hmm, after going through Toyark's shots of Nappa ive noticed that a lot of his armor pieces and his tail have very noticeable seams that look like they're pegged together. It's possible that the armor is removable, but I doubt it. Would be pretty cool if it was though.

Gotenks has Super Ghost Kamikaze! Praise Bandai!
Edit: The guy above me is just provided a perfect example of why I don't like coming here often.

All I care about is that he mentioned Nappa is still in the works. With the announcement of the Street Fighter line I hope we get more big figures like Zangief and Blanka.
Then I could have Nappa suplexing Zangief for shiggles.

Those "testicles" are how Toriyama used to draw the Saiyans' faces when they had their brows knitted together.
I prefer the color pallet on Premium Vegeta, but the physique is much better looking on this so ill be getting it. Plus crossed arms for pouty skulking Vegeta.

The game only works if the character you posted came before its Dragonball look alike, Drowningrabbit.
Plus, you're ignoring how lazy or outright bad some of the Super designs for prominent characters are. Bluper Saiyan (lazy and bad)... canonized Turles alternate universe guy that happens to look like Goku (lazy)... Tracksuit and lost all of his muscle mass Gohan(absolutely terrible)... Lost all of his muscle mass Vegeta (bad)... Alternate universe Frieza (lazy... if there's a multiple people his race, even in alternate universes, and they're as powerful as Frieza or more, why was everyone so scared of Frieza?)
I'm willing to give Super an actual chance when the dub finally hits (I can't stand listening to some of the Japanese Dragonball voice actors), but considering everything that's come from the franchise's revival has ultimately been more "Goku is the strongest and will overcome any opponent!" wankage, I am not optimistic for Super in the long run. I could be wrong though.

Ooooooooh snap. As much as I rag on Yamcha, I actually really like that figure. Wish it was Saiyan Saga Tien though, not enough figures come with bloody stump arms, but it makes sense to release him and Yamcha in their Cell games appearances.
Cell looks good too. Love the green, it's much nicer than the dull "I ate too much processed foods with dyes in it, so now my crap is green" colored one.

If not a pair of hands, the elbow swivels used on the Kinnikuman figures would work well.

Everyone should vote Tien.
Only earthling that's not named Krillin that's worth a damn.
And because he has better unique tooling possibilities. I would love to buy a battle damaged/shirtless one to go with Nappa. Complete with a bloody stump of an arm.
Best figure we could get of Yamcha from Z is a corpse with a crater effect piece.

The effect pieces that came with Cell were terrible anyways. As long as he has all of the original hands and faces it's all good.

People seem to forget that for a long time we only got action figures with downright ugly sculpts that look liked knock offs and companies always took liberties with the paint jobs. They're action figures, they are not going to be perfect in every way. If you want 100% screen accuracy to display on your shelves, print off some stills from the show, frame them, and put them on your shelves.

Looks fine to me. I still think the Super designs are stupid, but the figure came out pretty well.

Sadly, DragonballSuper is where the cheddar is at right now, so they're going to release those figures first. Maybe in a decade or so someone will decide to remaster Dragonball/DragonballZ again and the punching bag characters like Yamcha will see releases because they'll briefly be relevant to the franchise again when it airs

Everything about it is accurate to the movie, down to the green where it should be gold.
The metallic hair captures the same effect as in the movie, the green is what his armor looks like with the SSGSS aura.
They nailed this figure, its just an ugly design to begin with. Blame Toriyama.
Also, reminder: Consistency never existed in this line.

Yeah, and the best part is that they're all radically different paint jobs yet they blend so well! It's almost if they don't have to have matching hair to look good together! Woweee mommy!
Seriously though, in his line up he has two manga figures with little shading (Gohan/Piccolo), one anime figure with no shading (Vegetto), one anime figure with a lot of shading (Awakening Goku), and two Premium figures with shaded glossy hair (Trunks and Vegeta) and they all look good together. That image single handedly illustrates why the constant bitching about matching each other or "accuracy" (when prior to the Androids, there wasn't a single 100% accurate figure except for maybe Frieza) is cancerous and really needs to go away.
