But Toriyama had to have temporarily agreed with it's initial output?

Toriyama has repeatedly gone on record that with his style of writing/drawing, he was too busy and knew next to nothing about animation, so he just left pretty much all of the anime's production up to those in charge of it. He's even stated that he's disappointed that Goku's outfit in the anime ended up becoming orange/red, when he envisioned it to be yamabuki yellow, like a lot of monk dogi.
I think that this helps to prove that he was fairly hands-off, because if he didn't step up to say something to Toei about Goku's outfit colors being changed, I don't think he'd have done so for Vegeta either (a character that up until recently, he's stated to have hated). It was very much a "the anime is your thing, just do whatever you want with it"; so he gave VERY little input unless he was directly asked to come up with character designs or filler content for them (like the Tsufruians). He may not have even been asked about Vegeta's colors before they aired them for all we know.

Interesting. Basically put it 100% in Toei's hands. I'm glad Vegeta was changed, but Goku's outfit would have become an icon either way. Vegeta's arlia color scheme is just a big, fat risk IMO. It's not horrible by any means, but I can definitely see the extremes in it.

Oddly enough, I was just reading the Great Saiyaman saga today in manga format, and it's mentioned that Goku's gi is yellow. So I imagine he's supposed to be wearing one of these yellow colors... at least in Great Saiyaman/Buu Saga if not everywhere else. In general though, if I'm completely honest... Toriyama was not very good at all with color. I sometimes wonder if he was color blind. Toei did an excellent/better job with colors than he did. And... now I'm officially off-topic... may need to move this into its own topic...

I don't agree because what jakks did was make the nappa and vegeta to milk the line. Sdcc exclusives are made in low quantities and available for select few markets. Also like I said its always been re paints its never been new figures or previous figures with re tooling. People just got hyped up thinking it was majin vegeta or super saiyan vegeta with saiyan armor. It was either going to be arlian vegeta and some ugly metallic repaints, I do agree that super saiyan 3 goku is in need of a re paint, but he wasn't going to get it because in their eyes the gi is the correct color and the skin is as well cus of the aura . As for cell they haven't used sdcc as a reason to upgrade a figure yet so it might happen in the future. If they do decide to do that I would piss off a lot more people then make some happy since they'll be inflated since they are exclusives. Also I see the arlian vegeta as a sign that nappa will be made and he will get an sdcc exlcusive like this and with broly being made even bigger is another sign for nappa as well, so I still believe we will get him eventually if we don't see an armored version at sdcc.

I never said the SDCC was going to be a new sculpt. I said it should have been if they felt there was no other repaint options. I'd bet that a Cell repaint would be welcomed and I bet you Nappa is no longer in the plans. If you think Nappa will be an SDCC exclusive, then you're implying they would make a new sculpt....they'd have to make him an official new release first, then repaint that one for SDCC. Plus if you thought a metallic repaint was a possibility, how in the world would a SS3Goku and Cell repaint not be? You know Bandai looks at our forums and listens to the fans (outside of about Yamcha and Tien) so don't be surprised if one of those two gets a repaint next year because now, the repaint options are very limited....Gonstead mentioned a green haired Broly....18 and 17 won't need repaints (especially since they're not doing manga colors anymore)....SSVegeta could get a new release, maybe Ultimate Gohan with Goku's body? Or SSG Goku? But those would require retooling. A Cell and SS3Goku repaint is certainly possible.

When he was first shown I hated it! Time has passed and I MUST HAVE HIM!
Any ideas on when this will be available for purchase to us muggles other than a $150 preorder from eBay scalpers?

I'll def be checking in at BBTS periodically to go with my Broly pre-orders. Lookout Toys have the lowest prices I could find but don't always have the newest ones like Broly for instance. Lowest I could find for the twins tho! I'm hoping SDCC Vegeta will be less than $60 so I can grab a few

thanks for saving me money tamashi and Bandai as I will 100% not be buying this waste of shelf space... I kind of feel sorry for the peeps who were holding out for a legit SS Vegeta they could buy if they missed it first time around..im sure they could have released him with painted toe tips to justify it being 'exclusive'!!
