Vegeta back up on Nippon-Yasan with a pay later option too. Decided to get one so I'll have 2 Vegeta's and 1 Nappa coming now

Well Nappa is STILL available on Nippon-yasan so the demand for him may not be as big as initially thought. Especially when Vegeta 2.0 sells out almost immediately for pre-order when it goes up.

They just quoted $75 for Nappa. Man I'm excited for him, but that's even more than Broly. I might end up waiting until his price drops. He's a web exclusive so chances are its not gonna drop. He wont be released in these colours again (PC release could change that).

When you look at the first prototype all those years ago you realise just how bad it was and we were going crazy for a release haha. This figure is looking like it's going to be my favourite now.

It's a good figure, but I don't think it's as good as the original. Little things, like the colour and finish of the hair, lack of shading on the body compared to the original, and no lines in the boot tips. I, also, think they could have included the folded arms. There is no new tooling costs, and paint would be incredibly minimal. It would have barely increased cost to them. I've been wondering for the longest time if you could just take out the pin holding in Vegito's boot tips and swap them for this ones. Couldn't you just swap the whole foot instead of trying to remove the pin? Haven't checked myself but if the feet sizes are the same that's probably less hassle to do.

It personally doesnt bother me if the lining and his laces are the manga version. It hardly takes anything away from the stunning sculpting work. Mine just got shipped yesterday, cant wait for it to arrive.

Thanks guys Here are 2 more customs I'm pretty much calling done. First is a battle damaged SSJ2 Gohan. I know it's been done to death but I really wanted one to call my own. Majin Vegeta II with custom smirking face, tried to capture the look from my avatar. I still may repaint his hair to a more platinum blonde but dont want to make him too pale as his skin colour is quite light. I just dremelled his mouth down and resculpted the smile. Hope you guys like

SSJ Goku was my first, followed by Datong Vegeta. Since then I've managed to get a lot of the more expensive figures like Cell, Frieza and Broly. Now I have: SSJ Goku, Cell, Frieza, Broly, Vegetto, Teen Gohan re-issue, Ultimate Gohan, Datong SSJ Vegeta, Datong Base Goku, and Datong Scouter Vegeta. just ordered another Teen Gohan to do a custom battle damaged look, and 2 more SSJ Vegeta's to customise. Getting Piccolo re-issue and #18 off my gf for xmas, cant wait! How do you like the Datongs? Personally I think they're a more than good enough replacement for the official figures. They hold a pose well, they don't look out of place with the official figures, and they're cheap enough to buy a few at a time for customs or having base or SSJ versions together.
