Great idea! But I'd still like to have seen all those cracks etched into the figure, rather than just painted on.

Very simple yet elegant job. Timone did some great work! By the way, is that some patriotism I spy under your stand or am I tripping?

Pretty sweet, though I feel the BD marks are a bit too thick.

Thanks everyone...and thanks for posting it vedreta. Here's another (low quality) pic I took that shows the bloody face I repainted for it. (had to use a camera from 2002)  Regarding the cracks...I didn't want to etch anything as it was already nerve wracking adding ANY damage to a Figuarts figure but I did experiment on a broken piece and found I could scrape the yellow paint off. I scraped the marks and then filled in the scrapes with black. Some marks did end up a bit too wide but I think they're OK. I figured if they were too small they wouldn't show up in pics. |

I hope those aren't yours because I have to say the paintwork is terrible. The first Vegeta is  . The second is a nice concept but as I said terrible paintwork. |

I agree he looks even better with that face on him. I've been meaning to ask this for awhile has anyone seen a custom figuarts normal vegeta painted in his other color scheme the orange and dark blue?? I would have thought for sure I'd have seen one or 2 by now but unless I overlooked him I haven't. Anyway great work again Tim I would love to see u do a bd Figuarts Frieza that would be pretty cool I think

Engraving the cracks would have been super cool, but I haven't used the engraving tips on my dremel yet, so I would definitely be nervous about that too. In fact, I'm nervous anytime I use my dremel. It's just too powerful to do that fine tuned, precise stuff.

Anyway great work again Tim I would love to see u do a bd Figuarts Frieza that would be pretty cool I think Not yet. It's pretty frustrating, I'd also like to see it and I know it would be easy to make. The only real issue would be repainting the knee and elbow joints but even then that could be handled. I've thought about doing it a lot but I have no need for an Arlian Figuarts Vegeta but if a commission comes along I'd be glad to do it. As for BD Frieza...I'm not too sure, that's another easy one but I already have too many Figuarts purchases to make as it is. Engraving the cracks would have been super cool, but I haven't used the engraving tips on my dremel yet, so I would definitely be nervous about that too. In fact, I'm nervous anytime I use my dremel. It's just too powerful to do that fine tuned, precise stuff. The first time I tried to do an engraving was a disaster. I was trying to put lines into some Goku hair and the dremel was too erratic and spiraled all over the part I was working on. Now I'm too nervous to try it out. |

Now you just need to pose him with Krillin standing over him with Yajirobi's samurai sword or Frieza wailing on his back.
