Pretty disappointed. Was really hoping for some variant of Super Saiyan Vegeta.
Oh well, guess I'll put my money towards something else.

This may not be something I'll buy, because I'm not particularly interested in it, but I applaud them for making something unexpected. And by unexpected, I never would have thought they'd make a version of Vegeta that only appears in 1 or 2 episodes. He'll look good next to a Yardrat outfit Goku if they ever decide to make him (in the distant future instead of immediate future...). Now a Tien and Yamcha shouldn't seem impossible. Heck, Saibamen seem possible now. Looking at that Vegeta gives me flashbacks of seeing new Jakks releases..... In fact, Arlia Vegeta isn't even on my list of 1000 figures because they took him out and gave him his blue and white outfit in the re-made episodes. Since it wasn't like Vegeta changed clothes in the tiny spacepod and dyed his hair too. To me, the Arlia-colored Vegeta isn't even a real character. Just an animation mistake. It's like releasing a Goku wearing yellow and green, despite the fact he was never shown in it in any capacity, but still, same thing.

To be honest I love this figure. It's unique and at least Tamashi thought out of the box. I was hoping for an actual exclusive (Nappa)but I understand how its really expensive for them to create a new mold just to have an exclusive for a convention that's only a few days. But I honestly prefer this to the SS Vegeta and will be getting a few of these. A lot of people are saying they won't be getting the figure but just give them time and they'll start regretting not getting one once they're sold out which I guarantee you they will.

Well, if nothing else, we all learned not to listen to rumors lol. Whoever started the whole "they are going to rerelease SS Vegeta with sculpted and painted boot tips" thing sure disappointed a lot of people. I'm not sure where/how that rumor started.
Personally, I would have preferred they rerelease Trunks scaled up 8% in size if they were going to do any minor tweaks that required new molds. I doubt that will ever happen.
And as realistic desires go, (repaints for SDCC exclusives), I think SS3 Goku and Perfect Cell deserve repaints more than a Vegeta. The SS3 Goku has orange skin and basically yellow clothing. And Perfect Cell is in need of bright, vibrant colors, even if they don't modify his strange eyes.
I think Arlian Vegeta will still sell pretty well. Casual Vegeta fans will love it.

Out of the box? lol "Hey guys, lets repaint this and release it?" Like I said, they're pulling a Jakks on you Figuart collectors. It isn't right. Out of the box would be someone like Captain Ginyu, whom no one ever really mentions.

Sorry, the three people who voted will need to vote again. I decided to delete the poll and add two more answer choices.

Very happy to see Arlian Vegeta to be the SDCC exclusive, I knew it since last year. For those who plan on not getting him I would think again. With Nappa to be released I have a feeling the next SDDC exclusive will be an Arlian Nappa. Anyways I will be getting a couple of these and if you guys want me to get you one I'll see if I can.

I'm sure I made a rant on this at some point. "This was only seen in one episode, the mistake was corrected in Kai, farmer with a shotgun would be a better exclusive"...I can't remember everything I said but I do remember repeatedly saying I hated the thought of this Vegeta. Now here it is. hm. I guess if nothing else...I see some custom potential with this. The dark suit parts can be used to make his second Namek outfit...maybe a modified Android Saga suit...eh. No bright side for me, this release is a bummer.
