SUPER VEGETA! This looks beautiful, but for almost double the price of the average Figuarts figure, this thing better come accessorized to the teeth. If not, then this will be extremely disappointing and a huge pass.

says who ? SSJ2 Vegeta never appeared with that costume in the anime/manga; he was wearing the dark blue onesie uniform and was primarily in his Majin form.
I don't know if I am excited or pissed off. They re-released Vegeta with the premium colors, now they are releasing him with the new body. If he comes with non-SSJ heads then great ! Otherwise, they sure as hell know how to milk the cow ! |

^ Yeah, I am a little annoyed that they are doing the same uniform. There are enough of those, and we need the uniform he wore in the Majin series. And it would be easy to include a Majin Vegeta head

Wait, then why do I have the recolor version in my BBTS Pile of Loot? How do I cancel that order?

And no, this figure has no accessories besides extra hands and faces. Because Tamashii was smart and you were impatient. |

If not, then this will be extremely disappointing and a huge pass. This pricing becomes the standard with Tamashii nowadays, nothing new and especially no indicator for accessories sadly.

Experience. Sure we only know it with 100% certainty once the figure gets listed with the accessories, but usually you want to show the cool things you include with your figure on the official pictures and there's nothing to see here besides extra hands and faces.

And that's just the base price; Japanese retailers will give you discounts as usual. I thought you guys meant that that was expensive, I didn’t even check the news post. |

I checked the news post and the stated price is wrong. For starters the price is not 8,616 Yen as stated in the post, it's 5,616 Yen (about 50$), same as their recent Trunks figure which comes out soon.

Of course, but as I said: If a regular head or a beam effect would be included we would’ve had seen it by now. I checked the news post and the stated price is wrong. For starters the price is not 8,616 Yen as stated in the post, it's 5,616 Yen (about 50$), same as their recent Trunks figure which comes out soon.

Everything we say is still speculation of course, but lets be optimistic shall we ? |

And that Trunks comes with a regular head is exactly what makes me even more mad about this, Vegeta should have one too. And the initial pictures for Trunks clearly showcased the regular head, so... eh. If he does come with a regular head I'll be really happy, if not... well in that case I was right. |

I'm really looking forward to the SS2 Trunks. At $50 it's tempting, but I think I'm going to be more picky with the line. Still so happy over the shoulder redesign. Awakening Goku is such a phenomenal figure.

The old Super Vegeta is nice and all, but the mold is terribly outdated. This new one looks much better and features more articulation. Using the Trunks body is a good thing, even though it's technically not a reuse since Vegeta is smaller and his body proportions are different. It just looks similar because well they're wearing the same armor and they probably used the same armor for Vegeta. The rest of the body is just blue paint anyways. So more of a retool than a reuse. And why is it a thing? Easily retooled figure people will buy because it’s much better than the old Super Vegeta, that’s why. |

Hard to say exactly how much better it is based on pictures (but Trunks is out soon, he'll be a good example) but from the pictures you'll notice that the whole hip area is much better, a pose like the one featured in the picture posted by Joe above is much harder to pull off with the old figure, if it even works.
(Left is the new figure, old one on the right) Second the shoulders are probably a huge deal, the old ones are good but the new ones are even better. The Awakening Goku had shoulders like these and they are great. You can't really tell in the pictures though, that's more a thing you'll realize once you have him in hand. Third, the torso. The old Super Vegeta had no articulation in the abdomen, only at the cut between the armor and the lower body. This new one has a balljoint (or maybe even two) inside the armor which means you can articulate the torso much better. (Same deal as above) |
