Dang it. Exactly what I thought they would do. What happened to the supposed retooling? Well yet again a SDCC repaint I won't be buying.

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.<br/>
I so agree with you adrenaline. They are making dirt cheap "exclusive figures" by recycling molds of things they have already used. I think its almost safe to say that all future SDCC exclusive figures will be recycled mold repaints. I think its a crock of sh1t. This is the biggest one. I think people wanted a anime piccolo. I know I did. But an arlian vegeta? Besides a couple die hards who the phuck cares about arlian vegeta. Ghey.

I think he's awesome for what he is. He's just not exactly what many of us were all hoping for, because we got our hopes up waaaay higher than they should have been. Expecting an exclusive mold for a limited comic con release is a lot to ask. Hopefully this will increase Nappa demand, which will increase Raditz demand, which may increase demand for other early DBZ characters. I imagine we still have around 1 year before DBZ Kai's Buu Saga is on TV or DVD in English, so with any luck, Bandai/Bluefin won't get tunnel-vision and focus on Buu Saga characters too much right now. Just my hope... let's finish up the Cell Saga cast and delve into the Saiyan and Namek saga stuff. Irwin got tunnel-vision when Buu Saga was on Cartoon Network, and so we ended up with tons and tons of awesome Buu Saga figures and barely any Saiyan Saga or Namek Saga figures at all. The few Saiyan and Namek Saga characters Irwin made were unfortunately not very well sculpted or painted. If Buu Saga Kai is on the air this time next year, a SDCC repaint of SS3 Goku would be good, and they should release a Buu, Majin Vegeta, and some sort of grown up Gohan at that time or sooner. But in the mean time, I'll continue hoping (and requesting) for other things I'd rather own! Nappa! Yamcha with Puar! Tien with Chaozu! Raditz! Ginyu Force! "Let's make it happen Bluefin!"

Scalpers are already putting up pre orders for $200 bucks!! A total rip off and hopefully nobody considers buying when the original price is $45 and Bandai won't be sold out on them at SDCC. They will literally have tons and tons of extras for sale.

To anyone saying they are pulling a jakks on figuarts collectors is soooo wrong. They always do repaints for sdcc this is nothing.knew. to anyone thinking it was majin vegeta you obviously had your hopes way too high... they wont make am exclusive the japan market cant get it wont happen. This givez me hope for nappa as they would be crazy to make this without olanning to release him.

I'm satisfied with this release. I'm not really surprised, either. The SDCC figures have always been repaints. This really was the only major repaint that was left. Not extremely excited, but not extremely disappointed. He'll do just fine. Not sure if I want it, yet. I do dig the original animation colours, though. There's a certain charm to them.

Added price. He'll be $45 at SDCC. And $150 on eBay. TDC honestly I'd love a Kaioken Goku. As pointless as it would be I'm sure it would look incredible.

I think the reason this has disapointed a lot of people is because they are missing an ssj vegeta from their collection. It's easy to point the finger at tamashii and say they've let the fans down, but it is a convention exclusive, it should be something to pick up as a memento of the event. We have had 3 gokus so far as regular releases, tamashii have said the saiyans sell, is it really a leap of the imagination to think we will be getting another ssj vegeta in the immediate future? They only really need to tool a new torso too, so if I was working there it would be a no Brainer. Lets focus on it being an Interetesting and unique figure, that is what it says on the tin; a fun exclusive that's is not an essential character for the collection.

When do places like BBTS or Toy Arena usually start taking preorders on SDCC Figurarts? I'm gonna actually scoop this guy up.

golfingood...collector619 (selling one for the price of four)...rcos3...herocomplexshop...diva25...what dxckheads. The poll should be changed to include a new option. "I will buy as soon as all the eBay scalpers die in a horrible explosion and the exclusive is actually sold at the original $45 price."

This isn't something that people should be disappointed in! When I saw the SDCC exclusive this morning on Tamashii's facebook page, I'll admit, I was pretty bummed out. But realistically, if the SDCC exclusive is going to be sold everywhere for triple of four times the price, I'm happy it was Arlian Vegeta, because it's not a big character just like Adrenaline was saying. If they had released anybody new, and the ebay market was selling them for 200$, how many of us would actually be happy about forking over that kind of money? I'm not paying $200 for Captain Ginyu! If anybody will be picking this guy up from SDCC I will pay them 60$, as I feel that is a fair enough profit for the work they've done , not $200 bloody dollars! As for the people saying that badman Vegeta would be the next exclusive, I tell you right now I'd buy him immediately! Now THAT would be an exclusive!! Ahha
