It really is a shame you folks have to resort to these admittedly Well made bootlegs; I wish Vegeta wasnt as expensive so we didnt have to bother with this. Everyone deserves at least a second chance to own all these figures.

Does the original Super Saiyan body work with the non ss head or is it just in the bootleg?

Agreed, I'm still holding out for Tamashii to re-release him as I really don't want to have to get a bootleg (no offence to anyone that has the bootleg - I can understand the desire for it, and he does look great!) but I really want the genuine article....
Can anyone remember when they announced the SSJ Goku re-release last year? REALLy hope Tamashii see's the profit they're missing out on, as this bootleg looks so good that I imagine a lot of people are going to buy it....

The regular head works with the ssj body on the original too; all figuarts use the same peg for the head so you can mix and match, hence why Trunks head is there too.

Awesome I'll probably just wait for a rerelease of SS Vegeta then and pick up a couple extra. I really love the black hair on that body.

Isn't it just! I am so pleased with the fact the heads are interchangeable with the genuine SHF parts. I've got to say that my new regular Vegeta figure is now my favourite SH Figuarts figure and it's not even a legitimate SHF, lol!
As a stop motion animator... I must know. Is the articulation on the bootleg a match for the real deal? Do the joints hold up!?
I already have the real one, but having a second one that can stand up to repeated posing would still be great.

That's the thing. The SSJ Vegeta figure is the most likely one which people would buy multiples of, so that they can have a Cell saga Trunks and a normal Cell saga Vegeta. When Tamashii first released him there wasn't the extra incentive for people to buy multiples of him, but since Trunks came out and the possibility of swapping heads was realised he seems to have sold out very quickly. Add in a normal version of Vegeta to trade pieces with and SSJ Vegeta becomes the most desirable figure for me (although I am a bit biased towards the Vegeta, and it's the only figure I don't have!). I would certainly buy 3 if Tamashii re-released him, although I hope Trunks get's his own post-time chamber version (with the long hair) in due course....

My China Vegeta came yesterday, I'm beside myself seeing how well it's made and how well he blends with the rest of my DBZ figures.
Hilariously the right leg is loose just like the authentic Scouter Vegeta, did they intentionally do that???
Two things that bother me, his eyes aren't outlined like the rest of the figures, I'll take care of that myself with a brown wash then wipe away the excess paint. Also, the white toes (that I've mentioned numerous times before) stick out like a sore thumb (toe?) and I don't have the means to fix that.
But overall, I am surprised that this figure is THIS good. I mean, when you pose him, and hold him, he feels just like a Figuarts (minor aesthetic shortcomings aside) I'm so happy that I have a SSj Vegeta now!
To the stopmotion guy, he can hold a pose, but not for very long because of the loose leg (mine also has a loose abdomen and head, but that's all fixable)
If you don't have a SSj Vegeta, there is no reason not to get this one.

The official Vegeta doesnt havent shadow on the eyes either, and I suppose you could paint the toes yellow to match his cell saga look.
To quote from "American Hustle"..
"I wanna show you something, this Rembrandt here. People come from all over the world to see this. It's a fake. People believe what they wanna believe, cuz the guy who made this was so good, that it's real to everybody else. Now who's the master, the painter, or the forger?"

Now now, lets not get carried away here; im glad you guys can get at least a pretty good representation of ssj Vegeta, but if these makers get greedy and start making newer figures the line will be in trouble, not to mention if they just straight up copy the box next time instead of making it different.
Bootlegs are just that regardless of quality; lets not forget the ones who work tirelessly to make the real deal here.

Do whatever you feel like, but please don't think you're smart because you can quote a recent film's catchy dialogue, for the thread's sake I've thusfar refused to adress it so as to not veer into a completely offtopic argument, but honestly, it's not jawdroppingly insightful, at all. In fact, forgers wouldn't be able to make jack **** if a truly creative mind hadn't come up with it first. The world can do without forgers just fine, without original creators? Not so much.
You really think the filmmakers agreed with Bale's character? I don't think so. Especially the person who wrote that dialogue and would undoubtedly immediatly sue someone who would use his script without permission for something else. The whole point of that quote was to CON you. The joke is on you if you buy it, especially if you know how that same character progresses and what he ends up doing with his life in the end. That character does what he does to survive, that's the point of the film (russell's mentioned that many times). Having a collectible isn't surviving, it's luxory.
And as I've said before, if you truly believe in it, why buy originals at all!? You can't live by a principle whenever it's practically convenient, it's self-defeating.
Buy whatever you want and for whatever reason but please stop with the misuse of that quote out of pure convenience.

The irony in your post is that by saying you refuse to address it, you're still inadvertantly addressing it. Relax man, I'm just having fun, lol.
But like I said, I only plan on buying the bootleg as a simple placeholder until I acquire the real one at a decent price. Once I do, perhaps I'll customize the bootleg into like a Bardock or something (or King Vegeta?). And I'll be more than happy to show it off to everyone! Still working on my setup for all the characters.. coming soon..

Yes, obviously I caved into responding to it after it being repeated more than once.
EDIT: Yeah crisis I can see the logic in that and if tamashii is so stupid not to rerelease ssj vegeta than the joke is on them I guess. I can understand the practical pros and cons of knockoffs, but a principled argument for knockoffs? It just falls apart completely there.
Also I just have a slight annoyance with using quotes in a superficial way to try and score a point.
