Don't have my Vegeta with me at the moment; is there any way to reliably distinguish the actual figure from this knock off?

I don't see the writing under the feet like mine does. Well there's only one pic where you can barley see under it and there's nothing. Other than that.... I have no clue. Box maybe, if it comes with one.

The bootlegs looking forward standard face is a little off and hair doesn't go to white at the tips, but that's just what I've noticed from other pictures, I don't have either of the SSJ Vegeta's
 
The boot legs faces are pretty off. The tip of the boots are slightly different with the peg being larger on the boot leg. The tip Is also unpainted. The painting on the hair is different. The bootleg has a darker yellow and no white on the tip of the hair. Seriously if you collect these toys and you cant notice the difference you need to get your eyes check, and im sure the quality in hand wont be as good. Other then that pretty good bootleg and will be perfect for customizers.
 
Although I can tell whats different with the bootleg, I dont see the issue a few of you seem to have with the face; looking at my real one the sculpt is identical, the only difference that makes it look different is the eyebrow colour, but the sculpt has no issues aside from looking a tad more plasticky.
 
Where can we get a hold of this SS Vegeta bootleg. It'd be great to have a spare body to display the extra head you get with the Saiyan Vegeta and then there's possibilities for time chamber Goku and Gohan. There's no way that could be possible with genuine SHF Vegetas, not at the current ebay prices.
 
I dont think its out yet; I think its the same folk that made the LC model gemimi ex saint seiya figure, also a bootleg in the shape of a model kit that is almost identical to the original, I wonder if Vegeta will be the same deal.

As much as I hate bootlegs, I cant resist a good model kit, would be fun to see the inner workings of a figuart without having to tear mine apart.
 
In this web put that the preorder is closed, this shop is Thai and i think the bootleg is Chinese from Datong. I think we can find it in yahoo auction HK.

I think SDCC EX it´s not possible for one reason, only can get it in SDCC and what happens with the rest of the world, this figures of regular release are released in various countries apart from in USA, like Spain, Mexico, Japan(limited), Hong Kong(limited)...

Always in Tamashii nation events from bandai products has been repainted figures and this happens in others bandai series like Saint Seiya, in Tamashii nation events they sale repainted figures of Saint Seiya. This happen too in San Diego Comic Con. If they do something, they have to do a repaint because bluefin depends of Tamashii nation

do you remember what happens with the ex's after comic con? a week later they usually get sold through amazon, Bigbadtoystore and other stores.

click this and a list will pop up of all the ex's and not all of them were repaints :wave

I don't give a flying f@ck which stand you buy Blood, but I'd expect like Big D said official ones are the only ones even remotely strong. That peg breaking with so many people with krillin really sucks, they really ruined the quality of his entire effect piece.

Where was it said they were stepping away from repaints, I thought that's all they ever did? Unlike many other companies who release unique stuff at sdcc.

right, got ya. although, so far i haven't broken a peg or w/e, where, with the official ones i did a few. :monkey2

Hey, hey, hey, lets all calm down, eh? We are all friends here right? :)

I can remember bluefin stating way last year that they were trying to do something other than repaints, but then we got Piccolo so think of that what you will.

I personally dont like the idea of new figures being sdcc exclusives; they would be very limited and the secondary market price would skyrocket. Basically, unless you got to sdcc, you wouldnt be able to afford it.

yeah but thats because the demand for a repaint picollo was too big not to ignore
 
But Dragon Ball as Saint Seiya always have a repaint in tamashii nations event, can do a special stage or something similar but it´s probably we have a repaint for this SDCC 2014.

If they do an exclusive figure for SDCC, they lost a lot of money because dragon ball has global impact, you´ll see in 2014.

In that list i see a SHMonster of 90cms, it is normal that they did limited quantities of this figure, because the market is limited.

In others SDCC you can see a lot of quantities of SDCC Ex in a lot of pages like anime-island, toyarena, toywiz, amazon, ebay, yahoo....It´s normal because these webs have a contract with bluefin, that they offer their figures to anothers webs or countries.

Ah, so they arenot restricted to rereleases in different forms, :goodpost:!

In that case I highly doubt a repaint unless it's Goku God mode. Krillin seemed to be an apeasement between manga and anime style, and I can't really see them bothering to repaint norm goku or ssj vegeta.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Broli were the sdcc14 exclusive, that be mad hype, would attract a lot of attention to their booth and it would allow them to test a bigger figure in more limited production numbers.

I for one would like new releases as exclusives only if it means 1 more new release per year. Otherwise it's kinda sucky.
