I'd rather not have the SDCC exclusive be a figure with new molding because thats kinda not fair, but it fits the theme of having anime accurate details like the past SDCC exclusives have so it makes sense to do it that way. I just hope this reaches a larger market at some point because only 500 of them being sold in that kind of box makes for a great collector's item but its a big f you everyone that can't them.

ssjdude, Sideshow Freaks Is it me or does SSGSS Goku's hair look metallic? I hope so if they're sticking with that for Vegeta's hair. I can't get enough of those Buu's they look so perfect! I like the metallic hair. SSGSS Goku's color pallet is still fugly, but the hair being metallic makes it look better. Vegeta looks great period. If they make the Advanced Colored versions of Trunks and Vegeta have nice metallic hair like that, albeit yellow, it would be swell. If it's just a color change, I would prefer the bleach blonde look for both of them. Also, when are they gonna start selling packs of energy blast effect pieces? Seriously. I need some.

Hope BBTS doesn't sell out before tomorrow, I didn't get the chance to order a second one through Toyz.

If they just make the hair metallic like the older Japanese figures sometimes had, I might leave the hair as is. If they're manga colored I'll try and commission a friend to paint the hair for me, he paints Warhammer models and he's really good at color matching and fine detail. Only thing is he's super busy doing his own things and work, and I'd hate to bother him with it. Either w ay it goes, I'm picking up two of each. Could u post a pic of the old metallic figures? Here's a Vegeta figure that had it. Hard to see in the package, but I remember the old Beckett DBZ magazines had a section in the back that showed off Japanese figures along side the Irwin as a sort of collectors checklist or maybe even a catalog to order them. I was never able to get them as kid, but I liked the gold hair versions and there was a gotenks one I wanted so bad.

Here's a better picture of an opened Gohan that had metallic hair

Hmmmm. I bought my Krillin back in November, but a few months ago I accidentally knocked a book of the bookshelf next to my SHF figures and it landed on him snapping the peg that supports his destructo disc. Think I had a chance of a replacement peg because its just a small piece of clear plastic or should I just make one myself and save time?

I like Manga Trunks because his jacket looks more like a jean jacket, but the other characters look better with their anime colors to me. Kinda regret not getting SDCC Piccolo when he was only $90.
I've never read the color versions of the Manga and can't remember what Vegeta's color scheme was on the covers/spines of the normal volumes. Is there a huge difference between the anime and manga or is it like Goku and Cell where his colors were just dull and less saturated?

Guys, remember that these are just repaints so your uber expensive first editions won't take that much of a price cut.... if at all. I don't expect Frieza to drop more than $10 when the Golden Frieza figure comes out.

He's re released once or twice a year. As long as people are buying him, they'll keep producing him.
I dunno, the number of figures is a little overwhelming due to their prices, but until we get to the point where its two or three a month it doesn't bother me. At least at this rate we might get some characters people have been asking for/have been shown off already within the next year.

Where does one order these exclusives? Can't imagine they'll be available on NA online retailer sites

You got the Vegetto equivalent of my Gohan. His elbow joints pop out at the slightest rotation of his bicep and his right shoulder's shifter joint thing gets stuck. Not sure if that's common on Gohan but it's a pain in the ass to get him in Masenko and Kamehameha poses.
I would email Toyz like Gonstead said, as they don't have any return/exchange policies listed on their main site or eBay front. If they can't do anything about it (fair warning, its a legitimate possibility since it was a brand new figure that they only packaged and shipped to you, but they probably will help you since he's not listed as out of stock) for one reason or another just try Bluefin through both their Premium store site and their distribution services site.

So are there still no articulated Imperfect Cell figures that work in scale? Not even a knock off figure to anyone's knowledge?

So we got about a week and half or so before BBTS ships out. God damn I'm dropping so much money on games and figures this month. Got Figma Lucina, Figma Solid Snake, two Vegetto, two Gohan, Splatoon, and Splatoon amiibo on pre order. Then I've got $150 pledged towards Yooka-Laylee.

I really just don't want it to be the SDCC repaint, if they insist on doing base Goku this year I would prefer a Kaioken repaint (if they can do it right) or God Goku. It does look good, and I'll definitely get him if he doesn't start at ridiculously high prices. If he starts going for like $100+, I'm not interested, its money better spent on getting a figure i don't have at all like Scouter Vegeta.
