The massive Dragon Ball Z – S.H. Figuarts Great Ape Vegeta Figure is finally set for release from Tamashii Nations. They have posted the product page for the upcoming figure. In Japan, the figure will be a Bandai Premium Web Exclusive, but should be available from regular retailers when released by Bluefin. The figure is huge, standing at 12.7″ tall, towering over the other figures in the Dragon Ball line up. The figure will use diecast pieces in the chest to support the arm weight, and click features in the ankles to keep the figure stabilized. The jaw is movable, and it will include a swap out face part with a battle damaged eye. Other accessories include swap out hands, two hands crushing Goku, a scaled Yajirobe, swap out regular and cut tails, and a dedicated figure stand.
In Japan, pre-orders are scheduled to go live on February 7th. The figure is priced at 18,700 Yen (about $170 USD). Great Ape Vegeta is scheduled for release in August. Check out the new photos after the jump.

A little too expensive, $ 120.00, would be fairer, but I will have to buy it anyway =/
It’s cool that they are releasing this, but I would’ve preferred a generic Great Ape. Although the accessories with this one are really good – the in-scale mini figures of Goku and Yajirobi especially.
Also, seeing this makes me remember how much it sucks that they are continuing to ignore GT. This would make a fantastic base for a Golden Great Ape Baby Vegeta retool.

Although Broly before being canon had 3 figures released, then there's no reason not to launch at least some GT figures like the SSJ 4 or the golden ape
I don't see how it's cool to ignore GT. There are plenty of fans of the show.
You can ignore and not buy GT merchandise.
GT is part of DB's history. It just isn't the canon future of DBZ.
I don't understand why they'd ignore gt. Even if it's not canon, you can't deny the character designs are really cool and would make some sweet figures. Plus I mean all the other big dbz lines have started doing gt so I really don't see why shf won't.
I don't even like DB but this looks pretty awesome.
I'd love to see SS4 figures and a Super Baby Vegeta from GT... but we haven't even gotten a Bardock yet and that honestly keeps me up at night.
This Oozaru looks amazing though. I've fallen behind just a bit on the DBZ line. I believe the last figure I purchased was God Vegeta from Broly. I've got some catching up to do!
Sorry I expressed it badly, what I meant is that even though Tamashii ignoring the GT series I think it's a shame. because it would be really cool if she released figures from the line I particularly like the GT
gonna skip, im only gonna get 1 of the great apes, and i thik if this one sells well they'll end up releasing golden great ape baby vegeta...and thats the one i want.
I just preordered mine.
I have been waiting for a Great Oozaru figure for years.
This is definettly worthy for collection.
I just need Turles, Raditz and the Super Saiyan 4 figures. Then i can personally retire from this line. Im so glad that this franchise is getting all of this love.
If only something Simmilar can happen to Naruto as far as Figurarts goes. Maybe time will tell but until then, bring on more saiyans and lets go G.T. lets Go!
I have one gripe with this figure so far.
I jusy realised that there arnt two heads but two Eye plates.
While its not a deal breaker.I would prefer the seamless look instead of the Obvious eye plate panel.

Take note HasLabs and come better...I will pay for a Galactus or Stranger treated as seriously as this.
New Photos of the Dragon Ball Z - S.H. Figuarts Great Ape Vegeta - The Toyark - News
So now we SEE the lie clear as day. Their ads showing the digital mock-up show Vegeta coming up to JUST above the knee. Now when we see that actual product we see Vegeta is well above his WAIST!!! That's a HUGE difference in size. I might have to cancel my pre-order on this one...
For that price there is no excuse why it isn't MUCH larger. I have White Beard from One Piece Variable Action Heroes and he's massive and cost less than this.
