Ugh.......so I'm not super keen enough of a fan to really mind or even notice manga vs anime differences immediately and I could have happily lived my life with a black armour Nappa but now that I know and that I've been made aware of just how different he could look.....I want anime colours ;__;
I looked at a few images shortly after preordering Nappa and maybe thought the anime colouration was just to suggest black armour, often drawn as very dark blue in some cases but no, it's clearly blue.
And of course we'll see an exclusive repaint, of course we will!

I just don't like the idea of them one day making a Raditz and the Raditz being almost the exact same (or the exact same) color scheme as Nappa.
Right now Nappa matches Manga Raditz.
They just have to not match... they shouldn't match...

I like both well enough, but I do prefer the blue and yellow.

They just have to not match... they shouldn't match... If Tamashii Nations is following a sourced design similar to Banpresto's SCultures, Raditz should be alright... Just remembered Raditz Figuarts Zero. It's all good...

This is one instance where I don't mind the manga colors for a few reasons. It doesn't look terrible, I actually like the thought of having a Nappa and Raditz with similar armor colors like in the image above, there's always a chance for an anime accurate Premium Color edition (as much as I hate when Tamashii double dips), and the main reason I like this...the manga colors just so happen to match the "original animation colors", so this can be placed next to the SDCC 2014 Vegeta. If that isn't enough, repainting the armor should be quite simple, it would be easy to just make your own anime accurate version.

That image is from the full color manga released a couple of years ago, a release that Toriyama had nothing to do with. Does anynone have a colored illustration of Nappa by Akira Toriyama himself? I don't think any exist, at least none in the actual manga. I don't get the choice for this color scheme..

I prefer the manga colors on some characters but Nappa definitely isn't one of them. I always liked how his anime colors helped him match with Vegeta. To me it made sense for them to match because Vegeta being the prince wore royal colors so it sort of made sense for his partner to wear them as well. In the manga he shares the same armor colors as Raditz which makes him look very generic and unimportant.

I don't know, he was Frieza's underling and Frieza hated saiyans so I guesss in reality Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz could be considered equals. Vegeta's title wasn't important to Frieza so he was basically just as worthless as Nappa or Raditz until proven otherwise. But that's not the point, the point is I prefer the anime colors lol.

He came to Earth and killed a lot of people... That's got to count for something.
But I guess killing people doesn't actually matter much in the DB universe...

I mean... he made 16 on TFS' top DBZ villains list. That's got to count for something, right? Right?
In all seriousness though, I do feel like Nappa is the main series Saiyan that I personally care the least about. Even Raditz, for as short a time as he was around, is more interesting in hindsight because of the familial ties he has with Goku, and the curb stomp he lays down on Goku and Piccolo is pretty insane. While Nappa may have had a bigger body count, his entire purpose is to underline how strong Vegeta must be.

Majin Tomato Yeah I'm still surprised Raditz played such a small role in the series, he basically existed solely to give Goku more of a back story and open up more possibilities for exploration in the series. Like you said Nappa played an even smaller role, he was only in the series to make Vegeta seem more intimidating and show how much stronger Goku had become. He owes almost all of his fame to TFS.

Hey timone317, I saw your post on Toyark about Nappa and was wondering why you think Nappa doesn't have a stoic face?

Hey timone317, I saw your post on Toyark about Nappa and was wondering why you think Nappa doesn't have a stoic face? I've yet to see one. There's a cocky grin, charging yell, and the shocked/"over 900" face but no head with a plain expression. checking again, it seems the product page mentions 3 replacement faces, maybe they just haven't shown off the normal face. If so, great.
