Is there any word on this ever getting released again or a different color. Only figure i am missing. Drives me nuts. It was a web exclusive, so some people think it won't get released again. Some think it'll be a SDCC exclusive with a repaint. I personally hope it'll be rereleased in the summer of 2016, since they seem to be beginning a pattern of rereleasing 1 older figure during the summer. (Piccolo last year, Gohan this year. Vegeta was the next released, so methinks SS Vegeta.) So no official word, just a lot of speculation.

The reason Piccolo, SSJ Gohan and SSJ Goku can be re-released indefinitely is because they are the only figures in the line which are not exclusives.

We've actually had a few interviews with Bluefin reps that say that they don't have an actual stance on re-issuing those "Web Exclusives" and that we shouldn't rule them out. The "Web Exlcusive" stuff was technically for Japan, not other territories. Is there any word on this ever getting released again or a different color. Only figure i am missing. Drives me nuts.

I wouldn't say it breaks it down, so much as gives more reassurance that Tamashii is becoming steadily more interested in re-issuing figures. I also didn't say reissues were limited to the summer, just the first reissue of older DBZ figures. If we see SS Vegeta being offered in summer of 2016, it'll be their 3rd time in a row that they have an older DBZ figure getting their first re-issue. After the first re-issue, it seems to be being decided by demand. Thus why SS Goku has been reissued 3 times, and Piccolo is getting his 2nd soon. I could be wrong! And maybe they could even re-issue him sooner! *fingers crossed* But I guess we won't know until next summer.

The reason Piccolo, SSJ Gohan and SSJ Goku can be re-released indefinitely is because they are the only figures in the line which are not exclusives. Respectively, I've heard all kinds of conflicting stories, yet I've never seen any documentation from Tamashii stating they don't re-issue web exclusives. Apparently people have spoken with representatives (Like drowningrabbit) and those reps stated it could happen. Plus I think I even read somewhere that a Figuarts Zero statue that was a web exclusive got reissued, though I'm not 100% on that. Technically, Web exclusive would just mean you can only buy it on the web, right? It makes no mention of not being able to re-issue. Maybe you can't re-issue for retail sales, but I could imagine you could online.

I can dig it up if you all would like to see it as well. But I believe it was actually linked from this forum.

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing it if it's easy to find! If not, don't go through too much trouble. Thank you!

Luckily Youtube has a "History" function and it was only a few pages back. ] Here is the video, hopefully queued up at 2 minutes in, as that's where he's asked about re-issues, and says that they don't have a current stance on the "Web Exclusives".

It did queue at just the right time! This is awesome man, thanks. It's great to finally have something physical to point to, especially since he acknowledged the fact that the packaging matters, and that they've already reissued web-exclusives before. Awesome!

The entire interview is actually pretty interesting if you didn't watch all of it. He also talks about how Broly was picked via a survey specifically and such, which is cool to note.

I just got my Super Saiyan Vegeta that i bought and i'm not totally sure if he's real or not but i think he is. Looked online for comparison pictures and he seems real. Just wanna make sure. His hair and face just seems very orange in color in person. Kinda hard to tell from the pictures.
