Have you been showing Tamashii Nations your photos, timone317? If you want your voice to be heard, sending them your examples on social media with others agreeing would be best rather than ranting on a forum.

Be careful. I ordered my Goku and Frieza from AmiAmi and for some reason the pricing on shipping was ridiculous. I don't know if it has something to do with how big the box is or what. I hope that was just a secluded incident. Wow, it really is! Good catch! I did not expect that. This just went up in my book. I mean it is being shipped from Japan, so if you want quick shipping you should expect it to be like $30+. I picked slower shipping, shouldn't be too bad. I choose SAL shipping all the time and it was still ridiculously expensive.

Damn if you guys are gonna trash the figure at least compare it to the OG Vegeta. The PC is the worst one imo. Tbh, I don't see the big fuss. If you look closely you can see that the face does have sculpted and raised brows. It may just be the lighting that's giving the appearance of flatness. Also, it is A PROTOTYPE so the final product may indeed look closer to what we've seen. Even so, as is, he's still leaps and bounds above any other Vegeta release we have (barring Scouter Vegeta who is damn near perfection) That's all it should be. Sculpted. The only faces that should have a prominent brow are the shouting faces and they do.

angelo2113 I mean it's not that bad, but i think that the face it's not that much improved on the final product and i don't like too much that crotch articulation on this kind of spandex suit, this type of articulation looks better in baggy clothes like Goku wears, already have the premium one so i don't see any need to spend 50$ more bucks on a tiny figure that similar. And i don't collect every single figure of this line anymore, i prefer to focus on statues. That's understandable. I collect a lot of statues as well so I can see why the crotch articulation would be off putting. As much as I enjoy the Premium Color Super Saiyan Vegeta, this newer Super Saiyan Vegeta is superior in almost every way for me. Specifically the resemblance of the character.

I put in my preorder for the Saiyan space ship on hobby link Japan. Cheapest so far that I've seen at just over $30. Be careful. I ordered my Goku and Frieza from AmiAmi and for some reason the pricing on shipping was ridiculous. I don't know if it has something to do with how big the box is or what. I hope that was just a secluded incident. The majority of the prototypes are not articulated. I don't imagine that Scouter Vegeta figure would be added with the Saiyan Pod even though it would be a nice touch. It is included and is unarticulated according to the information on AmiAmi. Wow, it really is! Good catch! I did not expect that. This just went up in my book.

That Scouter Vegeta is a non-poseable figure. The majority of the prototypes are not articulated. I don't imagine that Scouter Vegeta figure would be added with the Saiyan Pod even though it would be a nice touch.

Not gonna get him. I'll keep my Premium Color one. Mind if I ask why you prefer the Premium Color Super Saiyan Vegeta over this one? Tamashii got some reason to hold back on releasing a powered down head for Vegeta. Hopefully they're redesigning it to fit or look similar to the newer Super Saiyan Vegeta. As much as I like Scouter Vegeta, he's very baby faced. The face sculpt works really for a Saiyan and Namek Saga Vegeta. Maybe even early Android Saga. Not so much after he came out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Dragonball Z Kai's run on Toonami is almost over, I think Perfect Cell just happened? I wonder if that's one reason why they are doing so much Cell saga stuff? I think it's possible. I assume after DBZ Kai is over they'll do DBZ Kai Final Chapters, and maybe, maybe Figuarts will have more Buu saga stuff, like those 2 Buus. I forgot about kai completely... Huh, makes me thing, if they are airing Kai and Super in Japan at the same time, doesn't it seem a bit odd? Like going backwards, but at the same time forward. Dragon Ball Kai's run on Toonami? Are they re-airing the series or something? Funimation's Cell Saga has been out for 3 years. Dragon Ball Kai Buu Saga ended over a year ago in Japan and then Dragon Ball Super aired a week after.

I would rather Tamashii Nations release a Buu Saga Vegeta with a normal and Super Saiyan 2 head along with a halo. Save Majin Vegeta for one of their battle damaged releases. That will allow you to put the Majin Vegeta head on either a clean or battle damaged body. I would not be surprised if we get a normal Buu Saga Vegeta and then come SDCC 2018 we get a Majin version of the same figure. I don't see Tamashii Nations releasing Majin Vegeta as an SDCC Exclusive. Majin Vegeta is probably the most demanded release, at the moment. I believe Tamashii Nation's learned their lesson with Frieza Saga Goku. Scheduling a highly demanded figure as a very limited release is not the best idea for this line and the collectors who support it. I don't even care for Buu saga at this point. Only thing I liked about it was Majin Vegeta and Super Buu (without any absorbtion). If they had to make Buu saga figures I'd only get those. I personally don't even really care for Gotenks. I'd rather get the entire Ginyu Force over most Buu Saga characters. I bought the Dramatic Showcase Ginyu Force because that's the only use I felt they had throughout the series. I would like for those that want S.H. Figuarts of them to be given the opportunity but they're very close to bottom of the list for me.

I was thinking. If/when they do majin vegeta, that would be the perfect figure to come with a normal head. Then it can be used for the other ss vegeta figures for a normal look I would rather Tamashii Nations release a Buu Saga Vegeta with a normal and Super Saiyan 2 head along with a halo. Save Majin Vegeta for one of their battle damaged releases. That will allow you to put the Majin Vegeta head on either a clean or battle damaged body.

Really disappointed for not seeing the Goku SSJ4 there. I'll skip all the releases except Perfect Cell. I was really disappointed he wasn't there either. That was my number 1 most wanted from the recent ones we've seen. It seems there really is no rhyme or reason to what they display sometimes. The Buu's were such a tease. I doubt we will see them for a very long time again. I hope SSJ4 Goku hasn't suffered the same fate. The minor events are the displays that will usually give you a hint on what will be released next. Premium Color Perfect Cell, for example. The October Tamashii Nations event displays have no rhyme or reason to their release schedules, just to display what they've been working on. Well considering Ultimate Gohan and Vegetto didn't sell well, I think Bandai is staying away from the Buu Saga for now. After they complete the Cell Saga with Vegeta, Gohan, and Perfect Cell I am hoping we will see those two Super Buus that were teased last year. Maybe then they well get around to Majin Vegeta. I am hoping so at least but with Dragon Ball Super being a thing, they will most likely focus on characters from that show I think. Tien and Yamcha would be nice. More so Tien cuz I am not a big Yamcha fan but some people are. Also, a re release of Krillin with the skin tone eyes would also be nice. It could be the reason but I think Vegito and Ultimate Gohan would have had better sales if they had the Gotenks and Gohan absorbed Super Buu counterparts scheduled as the following releases. Tamashii Nations is focusing on the Buu Saga with the other Character Categories such as Figuarts Zero and Figuarts Zero EX so that's good to at least see the Buu Saga having representational products.

Found this screenshot of a facebook post. Not official but can anyone confirm if this was fake or real. I suppose this is where all the rumors of a new Nappa prototype are coming from. Adam Newman said there wasn't a Nappa 2.0 prototype yet so I'm more inclined to believe him than d_amazing. I still don't know what his connection is with Bandai and, while he does receive products early, I don't remember him having this much of an "in" with Bandai Tamashii Nations before.
