The Toyark continues it’s Dragonball Z S.H. Figuarts catch up galleries today with Super Saiyan Vegeta! The last release in 2011 gave us our first version of Vegeta, rocking his Cell Saga Saiyan training armor. He has a shorter stance than Goku and Piccolo, properly representing him in the line up. When first released, everyone wanted a non-Saiyan version immediately, and we did get that down the line. But for now, let’s check out over 25 shots of him in Saiyan form after the break!
Make sure to check back for daily galleries of SHF DBZ as we do one a day until every figure is up!
S.H. Figuarts Dragonball Z Super Saiyan Vegeta
Pros
Well done faces, hair
Hair paint apps have some depth
Cons
Eyes are painted a bit googly
Orange highlight paint on face is too dark, looks sunburned at times
Not a lot of accessories
Overall
SS Vegeta is one you have to have, but isn’t epic. He came with a couple sets of hands, and a couple faces, and nothing else. My copy had very dark face highlight paint, so it looks like he fell asleep at the beach. You can do up some key poses, and he does look kick ass standing angrily on a shelf. Now that we are further down the line, and we have a normal version Vegeta that did come with a ton of stuff, I’m more ok with this being a fairly basic release. You can also swap Trunks’ head onto this body if you don’t mind the height issues, making for a good rep of the Saiyan Saga post-training look for him too.
The original release was a US exclusive, meaning in Asia he was a Tamashii Nations web exclusive, so the price skyrocketed. He was then bootlegged, so if you go online looking for him make sure to pay attention to that. Do your research and grab the original, or at least know what you’re getting.

I look forward to this, yesssss
Why is your Piccolo a different color from mine?
1. Is he a Yoshi?
2. Can I ride him?
I agree this line of DBZ figures are great, SHF are some of the best figures out right now. I am fearing though that Bandai may restart the SHF like they did with Saint Seiya myth cloth, where all the first figures lost their value.
2. Can I ride him?
Let's be honest, some of the DBZ figures are already crazily priced on the secondary market. Reissues/updates of SS Vegeta or Trunks would be welcomed.

I wish they would start giving us some regular Dragonball Figuarts though. I really really want Kid Goku, Tao Pai Pai, Desert Bandit Yamucha, King Piccolo, and a Pilaf/Mai/Soba three pack.
Really, I want Nappa, first and foremost, then they can carry on. They showed him at SDCC and NYCC 2012, then poof.

I think I remember watching an interview that Bandai wants to see how well Brolly does with the larger body. I hope we get a Nappa with armor though, a naked Nappa can only make me so happy for so long lol.
Just to point it out, the 2 versions of SS hair Gohan comes with are for standard Super Saiyan mode & Super Saiyan 2. Though "Chillin" and angry work fine too XD
I really really want that color of Piccolo there. That is how he looks in the manga, but I'm not sure it is worth buying him a second time for a different color.
Nice pictures of SS Goku and Gohan.
It is weird though as some of the Gokus in your shots look like his gi is red while I have the regular one in my hands and it is quite orange.

RE: Red Goku - Well, here anyway on these monitors, none are red-red. However, the SDCC one, and the "Normal Version" one are more red-orange than the main release. The "Normal" moreso than the SDCC as well.
If you're saying those are just too red for what they should be, that is a possibility. Different light and post-processing methods will show colors differently during a photo shoot, it's possible I didn't optimize to show true colors properly. At the time of exporting them, I thought they were fine, but sometimes you get in a zone and lose true color rendition.
There are also a lot of shadows going on here, and shadowed orange will show up darker/redder most times. I'll take a look later, and if they are way off, I'll try to re-export with changes.
I have the SDCC Gohan, and the original release Piccolo. I kind of like the miss match, sets the apart a bit more than the obvious one is a little human/saiyan hybrid, and another is a 7 foot green alien.
Where did the Mini-Shenron with Dragon Balls come from??? It's awesome!
Do Frieza next.
The set I got isn't currently online anymore, and I didn't see it listed from anyone else on eBay. But this was it:

Those pics of Vegeta are awesome. Really like the ones of the three different versions together.
It really makes me mad that they haven't reissued SS Vegeta yet. They need to hurry up so I can have a SS display since it doesn't seem like they are going to give us a regular Gohan any time soon.
Oh, and they need to reissue SS3 Goku.
BTW, here is a seller with them. I just bought a set (although, I hope these aren't bootlegs):
