You can get something comparable to it from Obitsu Body. https://www.hlj.com/product/OBTMLST-A01C

They hold the figuarts just fine, Piccolo being the biggest right now can be suspended without issue. They're only $3 to maybe $4, and you can buy them a bulk order to save on shipping.

Do those come with 3? on the site it says youll need screwdrivers or plyers, i hope it isnt like the one from play arts kai isaac clarke, that one was murder

OK so i finally received my bootleg Chinese version vegeta. Now its a great looking figure but it has some flaws and can easily be spotted as a counterfeit. The major flaw my Chinese version vegeta has its a loose head, and i mean LOOSE. It wont stay looking straight. It either has to be tilted all the way or all the way down. The face isnt even close to the original in detail or color.

Ok so lets get started.

The authentic vegeta is on the left. As you can see his face has more pink shading compared to the full orange of the bootleg. His hair has white tips along with some orange while the bootleg has a mustard yellow with barely no shading. The chest armor has a darker brown on the bootleg. The extremely white to tips on the bootleg with a really dark blue shade on the boot. The blue jumpsuit on the bootleg also has more shading. its more similar to the saiyan saga vegeta then the super saiyan version. AND one REALLY IMPORTANT thing that all bootlegs have that the original doesnt and that is A WHITE NECK PEG. If you bought a vegeta with a WHITE NECK PEG you def got a fake, that is for those who still cant tell the difference.











Also notice the bootleg has red on his lips while the original's is skin color. You can also notice bigger pupils as well.



The strap on the bootleg is slightly out of place but can be put back and glued . Also loose left hand on mine but can maintain pose.




My final verdict on the figure. IT IS NOT worth anything over 40$. I would only recommend this figures for those who customize, or if you need a body for trunks. If you really want a super saiyan vegeta i would WAIT for SDCC and see if its a supersaiyan exclusive. If HE is wearing different clothes i would buy two and get the boot leg and place the second super saiyan head on it and that will be as close to the original as possible.

One pack builds just one stand with optional interchangeable pieces.
Yes, some minor assembly is required, just clip the pieces out of the frame and put it together, should take no longer than 2 minutes.

If you want stage acts just buy any of them 4 or up and kerp to those. The reason is they're all combinable. All you need is one tiny scredriver. It pays off to buy more of those same ones because you can use them together (including the saint seya effect stands).

hey folks. What are idea for accessories with 17? Obviously the faces along what 18 got. Dunno if he'll get a folded arms piece, but probably. But what else? I can't think of anything akin to Krillin's bonus face. Maybe he'll come with another set of arms where his sleeves are tucked back? I can't thik of much else. We don't have a Cell to pair him up with.

Oooh... would he come with a crushed dr. Gero head maybe?

 

[Rrashidp]

He could come with his gun lol

 

[KPman]

He could come with his gun lol

^this; he could also come with a self-destruct remote. Didn't he take Dr. Gero's?

 

[Baneofdemon22]

I don't want any loose accessories that characters can't utilize. So I would be interested in his gun, but wouldn't want something like Future Gohan's senzu bean bag. I think the rolled up sleeved arms is a great idea! I assumed that gun they showed in his holster would be removable. It looked like it was a separate piece from his pouch. Another SSJ Vegeta face would great, but I wish I had a SSJ Vegeta to use it with!

I was going to wait for a few dollars drop, but I decided to pre-order 18, so I could show my support for the line as best I could.

Hey guys you ahould check out bluefins fb page, on their wall posts someobe posted a video from youtube of an interview with bluefin tamashi nations and its about 20min long but they mention some neat things in it, 2 of which caught my attention was, the interviewer asked what should we expect for the next sdcc dbz figure and they replied " well we got goku gohan and piccolo... Who do u think is next?" And the interviewer said ss vegeta? An they said thats a pretty good guess lol another thing they said was that they are looking into expanding the dbz line even further meaning we have sh figuarts and figuarts zero so they want to expand it more. To me this sounds like either they want to do some sort of monster arts or possibly effect packs of some sort, check out the video tho( id post it but i donno how from my iphone lol)

 

[Baneofdemon22]

Thanks for the info! I am so stoked for SDCC!

 

[Silrian]

I cannot freakin find it...

 

[Rrashidp]

@silrian i check from my iphone browser when i goto their fb page, i dunno how you are tryin to look it up but iunno if this link will work https://m.facebook.com/Tamashii.USA?v=timeline&filter=2

 

[Silrian]

That link worked, thanks man! Maybe it's me, but I didn't hear him speak about vegeta. Must've missed it.

Few other things with this:

18.25: "We've never ever rereleased a web exclusive anywhere. We're having a broader discussion on whether we can rerelease web exclusives. We might have to tweak the color or something strategically like that."

The uncertainty about this is so clear and seems so real to me, taking into account how much planning goes into releasing something, I would drop hopes for ssj Vegeta sdcc ex. We might get an sdcc ex vegeta, but it seems to me it's gonna be quite it's own version if they still haven't even decided whether strategic recolouring is allowable.

20:17 "We are strictly a collectors label. We never go after a master toy licence to fill a mass shelf."

Start forgetting about small characters. As I've said before this is a deluxe line for popular characters and this confirms it pretty explicitly.

Thanks for the info Philosopher and imaI2EAPEi2, I might just pick those up instead, stand brand names don't really matter to me as much as just holding the figures up

Also great distinctions between both bootleg and real vegeta's, you can really tell also since in my opinion, it really looks like the bootleg has this overdone Asian look to him, haha
