If only it had used the 2.0 body I'd be really happy with this. I'll still get it but man it's a wasted opportunity [emoji53] Are you kidding me? This figure is literally the equivalent of a cheap custom repaint. How did kool-aid soaked Goku get a release this year when Yamcha and Tien haven't even gotten a release. I am literally baffled by this, the only reason I'd pick this up is for customs. It's a limited World Tour Exclusive. I would hardly consider this as an actual release. Especially since it's not even posted on the Shonen Jump Calendar as an official release. Not really comparable with Tien and Yamcha.

I doubt it. The pricing for Scouter Vegeta 2.0 is close to Super Saiyan Vegeta 2.0. You never know though because the majority of Scouter Vegeta 2.0 is reusing Super Saiyan Vegeta 2.0 parts and maybe Tamashii Nations included something similar to the original release or something new for collectors. I wouldn't be surprised if they leave out the "It's over 9,000!" smashed scouter accessory to leave the original release more valuable. They didn't necessarily go that route with Super Saiyan Vegeta 2.0 and added more than the original release but they're from different times in the series where the original release is still the only Android Saga Super Saiyan Vegeta. I would be surprised if Vegeta doesn't come with the same energy ball accessories...it's not a repaint technically but it's still the same saiyan saga Vegeta. I agree they may leave out the over 9000 face because the PCE Trunks didn't have the exact faces the original one did. Nappa I'm not counting on anything but I'm still pumped for him. The energy effects would be a great addition to the release. If Tamashii Nations is repainting the Super Saiyan Vegeta faces, he'll come with the "Over 9,000!" face. It's the smashed scouter that I don't see being released and that's only for "valuable" reasons. Have to wait and see the official photos and listing but I'm hoping Tamashii Nations isn't releasing only repainted Super Saiyan Vegeta faces. Would like to see one or two different faces.

I wonder if the new Vegeta will come with any effect pieces like the original did. Also wondering if Nappa will have anything. I doubt it though. Any day now Tammashi should have their official reveals. I doubt it. The pricing for Scouter Vegeta 2.0 is close to Super Saiyan Vegeta 2.0. You never know though because the majority of Scouter Vegeta 2.0 is reusing Super Saiyan Vegeta 2.0 parts and maybe Tamashii Nations included something similar to the original release or something new for collectors.

Yeah, the Figure-Rise Mechanics Time Machine appears to be quite big for shelving display. Perfect scale for S.H.Figuarts though. WCF is releasing one that is smaller and the quality looks really cool.

While it may be TOO clean, Tamashii Nations is very close to a battle damaged Nappa release. The bottom half, arms, and neck are done. They would only need to sculpt a torso. Easy release for Tamashii.

There is, you can see the line of it here... Glad to see the torso articulation. I wonder if the armor will be detachable. It would not be very hard to do and it would make many people purchase the figure. People would be able to recreate the "over (8)000" scene accurately with Vegeta crushing the scouter and Nappa having that face we saw on the prototype years ago. It wouldn't be that difficult but it wouldn't give Tamashii Nations another Nappa release which is what they're hoping for if his sales do well. Too much waiting.. i need that figure I am still perplexed as to why Figure-rise Standard got both SSJ4 Goku and Vegeta, showed prototypes back in the fall, and released them soon after. From what I've seen, those two figures looked pretty good for a model kit. The SHF SSJ4 Goku we saw back in March looked about ready to go and every figure in that display was released already or was released later that year. Why Tamashii keeps showing that prototype off only to disappoint baffles me. It wasn't up to the newest standards that Tamashii Nations has implemented towards the Dragon Ball S.H. Figuarts line. In hindsight, it's better than it wasn't released either in the 1st or 2nd revealed prototype stages. I'm sure the reveal of the updates will be very pleasing to the collectors. Luckily, for Super Saiyan 4 Goku fans such as myself, they're releasing the Figuarts Zero EX which was a huge surprise in July at SDCC. I've heard speculation that Tamashii Nations is using that release to determine when to release the S.H. Figuarts version but I don't know how credible that speculation is.

SSJ4 is probably being retooled to a 2.0 design and same goes for the two Buu figures from a while back. I say we'll see them sometime next year Anyone think they'll make an Arlian version out of this 2.0 Vegeta? I'm very hopeful that Super Saiyan 4 Goku has gone through tremendous updates and I can't wait to see his newest prototype. When that will happen, I'm not sure. I was surprised Tamashii Nations announced/scheduled the Figuarts Zero EX version though. (For both Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Super Buu actually.) Hmm now that you mention it, what could they possibly have as an event exclusive this year? My guess is either an anime version of Ultimate Gohan or a Namek Vegeta (1st outfit). If they do go with Namek Vegeta, question is if they'll use the 2.0 body or the old one? They're kinda out of repaints at this point since everything we have so far is anime accurate so it's gonna be an interesting choice whatever they end up doing I'm thinking that Namek Vegeta will not be a SDCC exclusive and here's why: We are getting PCE releases of extremely expensive DBZ SH Figuarts. Scouter Vegeta 2.0 is releasing in July, PCE Perfect Cell is coming out this month, and a potential SSJ3 Goku 2.0 on the horizon. There is one figure not in this list: Final Form Frieza! Although the figure is excellent, it does have its flaws. The figure was released directly before Scouter Vegeta, meaning it could be announced in the future for late 2018, possibly. Namek Vegeta would go well with that. They would not need to change the figure too much, keep the same serious, smirk and yelling faces, maybe add a crying face. It would be a good double release. I'm predicting that Tien and Yamcha will be announced for October, November, or December release. Then, hoping we get Buu Saga figures like the two Buus and Gotenks. One can wish... At some point in the line's future, I honestly wouldn't mind an updated Final Form Frieza whose build is similar to the Golden Frieza release. Can't see if there's a torso articulation ?! There is, you can see the line of it here... I was very happy to see this on the newest prototype. That was one of my very few complaints about the prototype revealed at Tamashii Nations event back in October. Very nicely done.

You'd think I'd like building models because I like customizing figures, but you'd be wrong. I can't believe the patience and precision those take Any time I'd build a model kit, I'd end up sanding the little remnants of the model trees or skeletons or whatever hold the pieces off. On something with this many pieces, I might go crazy. It's honestly not all that bad. It certainly takes time but, if you have the right tools, removing the excess plastic is very easy as you put the pieces together.

Ewww. I'd want his armor to be blue and mustard yellow. The mustard yellow actually seems to be used on most of his newer animation/drawings and the black also seems to have blue shading in Xenoverse. So we may get a Premium Color/SDCC Exclusive with the anime colors.

Wow, I desperately hope that Nappa is anime colors when he is released! In manga colors or Arlian colors or whatever those are, he looks like a super beefy Raditz with Nappa's head. Those are the colors that have been used for Nappa's Saiyan armor lately. He has them in Xenoverse/2 and Dragon Ball Heroes.

Awesome prices too with the current yen rate. Probably means they won't come with too many accessories but idc cuz motherfing Nappa I'd be really surprised if Nappa was a Regular Release.

Think there's any chance figuarts goku will be strong enough to pull this off Depending if Tamashii Nations adds torso articulation. The prototype didn't seem to have it so I'm hoping it's being upgraded.
