The pupils are a small detail but make a big difference imo. I still think the old style of shading for SSJ hair is superior but I'm learning to accept this new one. As long as they keep it consistent with future releases, the glossy flatter yellow hair is fine by me. The body is more saturated than the original and I plan on using that body to replace my normal Trunks and I'll keep the original as the SSJ form. It gives a nice seperation between the SSJ aura effect on the body and the non-powered up base form. Might do the same for the new Vegeta's as well. Getting a ton of those to make some proper Armored Trunks. The new shading is way better, if you look closer, it's actually freaking GOLD. No, its not yellow, or bleach blonde, but actually metallic gold which I can appreciate. I think its better than just putting the white on the yellow like they did on the lastone and call it shading, which is inaccurate as hell. It's gonna be one of those things where you aren't gonna get a proper idea until you have t in hand, I don't see the gold to be honest. The hair on the new Vegeta and Trunks every time I look at it reminds me of twisties, which are a popular cheese snack here in Australia, I think the American equivalent is Cheetos. Haha, either way that's what I think every time I see the advance repaint hair. Not gonna deter me from buying it of course and I'm sure part of it is just the pictures not doing the figures justice, and the other part of it is my poor eyesight and attention to detail. EDIT: Also agree on the original shading, I never really understood the 'white tips'. Don't mind the look I just didn't think they were accurate. But I also appreciate it is hard to get DBZ coloring accurate considering the coloring changed every five seconds. |

I don't see gold in a single picture from the advanced colour releases. It's just yellow and very slight orange/yellow.

Never thought it was gold, but I guess we'll find out once they're released.

I definently think the pupils will be colored black which is accurate as hell. Damn, and people were complaining about how these advanced colors aren't gunna replace the old ones.

The Trunks could definitely replace the old one especially if the pupils are colored in which is a small but significant detail. Vegeta is technically Cell Saga Vegeta (albeit with inaccurate boot tips) so the old one can still hold it's ground. The trend on eBay is that both figures are losing their scalper values with Trunks losing it faster than Vegeta. |

The cell saga/android saga vegeta boot tips thing isn't gunna effect it at all, I don't even think the ones who drew Vegeta then really cared about it or thought it would be two different customs. Anyways like you said, the scalpers aren't gunna care about the boot tips with him being from the cell saga, they both will lose their 200/300 dollar 'value' everywhere. |

Oh yeah, I'm sure they'll both decrease significantly since for most mainstream collectors, they just want an SSJ Vegeta boot tips or without. I'm just saying that out of both Trunks and Vegeta, Trunks is more easily replaceable since he has the least amount of differences so his value is likely gonna drop more and faster than Vegeta's. |

Yes. But we usually get it a month later so it will be more like November.

When was the last time SSJ4 Goku was shown or mentioned? He was only shown at 2014 SDCC. Just like Nappa, he was only shown one time. I get the feeling he's not getting released. Hell, even Shenron was shown more than once. |
