Not too long ago I ordered a Figuarts Gouki/Akuma, cheap, it was going for only $40 and it was from a USA seller. So I thought I got a good deal. When it arrived it was obviously a bootleg. The TWO LEFT ARMS gave it away. I was furious, but the seller was cool about it. He gave me a full refund so I pretty much got a free “figure.” It’s utterly useless to me though, lol

Are Whis and Beerus's colours different enough in the manga to warrant an event exclusive re-colour one day? That's the only way i see them being re done. Both of them have figures incredibly close to their anime colours, so a premium colour version wouldn't make sense. I doubt Tamashii would revisit them with updated molds anytime soon either.
I got lucky and managed to snag Beerus for 60 bucks late last year.

I hope Beerus and Whis get a rerelease someday, even if Whis is a mediocre figure I'd still really like the two of them, I still hesistate on spending more than $100 for a single figure though so I probably won't get them till a rerelease lol. : p And that's exactly why I want to get a couple bootlegs lol, I want to try customizing figures but I would never want to try with an official ye because I don't want to ruin one lol I've had the idea of getting a bootleg Jiren to make an El Hermano, because like even if it comes out bad I feel like that would just add to it lol True.!

solubletoastAs far as I can tell, Beerus and Whis's color schemes are exactly the same in the manga and the anime.

New to the forums - and while not new to Dragon Ball figures, I am new to the Figuarts series. Started cheap with the Dragon Stars figures, then made the "mistake" LOL of buying the Great Ape Vegeta figure when I found it for around 110. Now I am looking to expand upon my Figuarts. I had a question about the Figuarts Vegeta - not sure what the exact name of it is, but the one with the scouter and bulky shoulder pads. Is there any way to get that one at retail price anymore? If not, any chance it will get re-released? I saw that Bigbadtoystore.com had it listed as sold out, but listed it as a preorder arriving in Jan. 2021, so didn't know if that was a re-release or not. That version is my favorite of Vegeta and was always bummed that Dragon Stars never made that version. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Congratulations on making the move to S.H. Figuarts, Doug. I can easily see how you might have gotten sucked in with Great Ape Vegeta - and that's a hell of a good price, no less! There's some real gems hiding amongst the ranks of the Dragon Stars lineup. For instance, Final Form Cooler and Janemba even hold their own when pitted up against more recent Figuarts releases. I'm sure he will make excellent companions for your Dragon Stars. Now I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think Scouter Vegeta v.2 may be a standard international release, like Saiyan Raised on Earth Goku or Proud Namekian Piccolo. And so, may be subject to rereleases in the future. Unless you find a reasonable seller, I'd definitely recommend waiting it out and seeing if this is the case and saving yourself some money in the process. No stress, I am also in the same boat.

Thank you for the response. Can I ask this - is there a consensus on which of the Figuart Vegetas is the best? In terms of quality and assessories.
I have all of them for the Dragon Stars line, but that's a little easier to do when we are talking about 20-30 dollars, as opposed to 60+. I have manage to get Great Ape Vegeta, Future Trunks, all of the original Dragon Ball figures(it may not be a popular opinion, but the original Dragon Ball is my favorite of the DB series), Gotenks, Roshi, and I have Evil Buu, Instinct Goku, Resurrection Frieza (found on Amazon in like new cond. last night for 45) and Final Battle Jiren in the mail and on the way. LOL. Thank God I got a lot of cash/gift cards for X-mas. Heck, I even ordered a Bootleg Zamasu since I was told it was a very good replica and I already have the BAF Fusion figure from Dragon Stars.

Welcome! Sounds like your figuarts collection is off to a good start. It's incredibly addictive, so enjoy the rabbit hole. 😂🕳️ The Super Saiyan Blue 2.0 Vegeta is a really solid Vegeta imo. It comes with a Super Saiyan God head too. Super Vegeta 2.0 is also a really solid figure. Huge improvement on the 1.0 and he's still pretty affordable i think. I prefer the Scouter Vegeta 2.0, as opposed to the 1.0. It has less shading, but it looks more anime accurate and doesn't suffer from loose joints. He also comes with an additional base Vegeta head that you can pop on Super Vegeta 2.0 to create a base Cell saga Vegeta.

Speaking of rabbit holes, I'm snapping up 1st Form Frieza as soon as I can. I love my armored villains! I considered getting Raditz too, but I think globalfreaks no longer has him for preorder.

Lmao you guys are great. Now that I have him, it seems that the joints aren’t as tight as they should be. His legs are kinda loose, not by much, but it’s def noticeable. Have you guys had the same issue or is it just mine? Because my normal Jiren is perfect, no issues at all but I’ve read stories how some peoples Jirens had their pegs snapped when trying to swap out the arms for the crossed arms.
Having him just makes me want a uniformed & Hakaishin version of Toppo to pair with. Has he been on any polls?
