How reliable is the rumour that it will be a villain? Because I can't see what repaint they could do to with Cell, Frieza or Broly. The only thing I can think of is Golden Frieza where they make him more yellow instead of the gold. If it's not a villain I've had a thought that it might be Ascended Saiyan Trunks. We've seen the sculpt and the listing for Super Vegeta did not mention anything about a head for Trunks. So seeing as it would just be a head swap, Ascended Saiyan Trunks is a pretty good candidate for the SDCC figure. An anime accurate cell could be done. I think that's what the SDCC will be.

Has anyone noticed the calves on it? Apparently they are put wrong, like looked from affront you can see it. That apparently someone at Bandai/Tamashii mislabeled them during construction of it, and one cannot just swap them because they are now made to fit to the knee joint, as like I said they messed up during construction. The calves are supposed to go on the outside and the flatter goes in the inside. Anatomy wise its not correct. I think it's just the angle of the leg in some of those pics. Once you turn it at the hip I'm sure it would look right.

They look horrible Dude these are soooo bad. The way the legs/feet are an abnormal, awkward distance apart, the look of the faces, and the super cheap look of the plastic/paint (like a Chinese knock off of SH Figuarts) are more than enough for me to say no. I was hoping this line would be awesome and give Figuarts some competition so that they'd produce more figures and of different characters. This line only cements Figuarts as the standard of articulated dragon ball figures. Some look bad (most of the Saiyans). However, from those pics I think Future Trunks, Perfect Cell, Kid Buu, and Golden Frieza look great. That's just based on those small pics though. I like how they are a bit more bulked-up than Figuarts. DBZ villains at their max power are supposed to be swole.

Can't complain too much because he does look good. Still, it is strange they are releasing this so soon after PC SS Vegeta. I would have preferred a Majin or Buu saga Vegeta first. Now I really want a black haired version of Vegeta to use for these bodies. Too bad I don't have an extra $200-300 lying around to get the scouter vegeta!
I'm hoping 2016 SS Trunks' head can fit on this body so I can use Trunks' body to make a saiyan armor Goku. That way you could line up Armored Goku, Trunks, and Vegeta (which would have the PC Vegeta body) and they would look reasonably accurate.

Reference photo for what Trunks might look like with the long hair. This Irwin trunks head didn't exacty fit on SH Figuarts Vegeta's body but it still looks cool from this angle.

Hey guys! it's been quite some time since I last posted here. Hope everyone's doing great. I wanted to share my updated collection. It's been a journey to get all these, and I'm excited where this is going. Have my eyes on Scultures Nappa, Jakks Mecha Frieza, Irwin Garlick Jr and Figuarts Zero Gotenks but don't have money right now to get them as I'll be buying Bills this month lol. Hope you like it. * This is a panoramic shot from my cell, so don't mind Krilin's weird face haha. What versions of Android 19 and Dr. Gero are those? You're collection is looking great! The custom Tien and Yamcha's are really cool. I highly recommend the Scultures Raditz if you haven't already got him. He scales really well with figuarts. I also think the WCF Korin and Yajirobe would look great with your collection. I think those are coming out in May.

Got my SSPC Vegeta and he does not disappoint: He scales well with this Bulma and Android 19: Where'd you get the Dragonball? Mega WCF Shenron comes with seven of them.

Yeah that looks like the worst in the line and it's not even close. The paint they chose for the gold parts of the armor looks awful and is almost as tacky as the metallic blue hair. This figure could have been awesome... Oh well, now we just have to wait for a Buu saga/majin Vegeta and hope they update the hair at the very least.

This Vegeta might be my favorite Figuarts purchase so far. I had some fun taking pictures when he arrived last weekend.

I'm really hoping that is a third Trunks head and not a replacement for the pony-tail SS hair version. It looks ok, but not close to how good the pony-tail one looks. Can't complain about getting three heads though if that is the case!
As for the SSBlue Vegeta, looks like a major drop in quality from the other releases. How hard can it be to do an updated hair mold that they could also use for Buu Saga/ Majin Vegeta? The gloss does make it look cheap as well. Oh well, I planned to pass on him anyway.

Is there a list somewhere that includes the status of each figure (in terms of whether they are regular releases or one-time releases?). I know the SDCC ones are not regular releases, but which other figures are one-time releases? Are all the "Tamashi Web Exclusives" not going to be re-issued? Will Vegetto be re-issued? I haven't seen his price go up at all. myfigurecollection.net/search.php?overall=s.h.figuarts+dragon+ballVegetto is a web exclusive and hasn't risen because he hasn't sold out yet. Nice thanks! I didn't know base form Son Goku was exclusive. I'm really glad I picked one up.
