Vegeta Figures Have Come A LONG Way Since 1999

- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2024
- #Vegeta the Prince of all Saiyans is one of the most iconic characters from the Dragon Ball franchise and as a result, he's had a wide variety of action figures made of him over the years. Few versions of Vegeta are better than Namek Vegeta, which saw him defeat a slew of Frieza's henchman, terrorize Gohan, Krillin and Bulma and show signs of becoming the Z fighter we all grew to love in subsequent Dragon Ball Z sagas.
Today, I'll take a look at the 1999 Irwin Toys Saiyan Armor Vegeta and compare him to the 2024 #SHFiguarts 24,000 Power Level Vegeta action figure. Along the way, I'll discuss my memories of my old toy and look back at some of the storylines that this version of Vegeta was connected to during the Namek saga, which is my favorite Dragon Ball Z arc. Enjoy the action figure review! #ActionFigures

One of my earliest memories regarding Vegeta is somehow thinking he was also Goku's brother
This was when Kai was airing on Nickelodeon
That's interesting! Appreciate you watching and sharing that memory.
That vegeta from the 90s was the first one i had when I was a kid. I wish I still had it
If you wanted to you could grab one eBay. The sealed one I bought was like $34 bucks, but loose ones are way cheaper.
I bought those exact 2 irwin figures with my 9th birthday money. I remember Super Saiyan had only been alluded to by Vegeta in the Namek saga so I didnt really understand the yellow hair, and I remember speculating all the characters on the back of the card. Tons of nostalgia seeing this!
That's awesome, Ernie! Yes, so much of the experience for the American audience was not understanding some of the characters available I'm figure form. Glad you enjoyed.
Pouring out some liquor for all the other 90's homies out there that grew up with that old school shit, you the realest
Yes! Growing up with these toys in the 90s made for a great childhood.
I'm really loving this comparison series! This is such a cool and unique experience to compare these older figures with the modern ones. This new S.H. Figuarts Vegeta is REALLY COOL! Awesome video!
@M.A.Sketchbook thank you Matt! Doing these videos really takes me back to the good Ole days when we would watch DBZ after school and play with all the old school figures.
I still have the 90’s Vegeta and my memory as a kid with it was fighting the 90’s Freeza
@Fourstardragonball yes! See I didn't have the Freiza from this line as a kid, but defintiley had him fighting Goku and the other figures.
I remember picking a WWF Goldberg figure over this Vegeta figure as a kid and regretting it. I finally picked it up on ebay like over a decade later and was so happy
@@jsplaythroughs oh wow! I'm glad you finally got your hands on one. That line of figures was so great back in the day. Thanks for watching!
Me and my dad used to collect DOZENS of old DBZ toys, manga, posters, magazines, and other collectibles way back when. He was hoping that one day they’d sell for a lot and become collectors items, thankfully he was partly right. I still have all of them and will cherish them
That's awesome and sounds like some amazing memories. Those memories alone make the collecting worthwhile. Thanks for watching the video
namek saga vegeta was soo entertaining. His fight with zarbon and recoome were so unique and brutal, he just got he crud kicked out of him while also geing a bunch of good hits in himself.
@@EclipseHedgehog yes! Exactly. He was so interesting in that saga. Thanks for checking this out.
The old figure would be sticky if it were stored in hot temperatures, as it accelerates the breaking down of the plastic. It will happen to all toys in due time. The only way to avoid it is literally to freeze the plastic and that comes with its own set of damage, as it will begin to crack after a period of time.
@@karascrow very interesting! That's probably how this was stored, but I don't know for sure because I purchased it on eBay. Thanks for the info!
@@vascotoys The yellowing definitely suggests it was stored in poor conditions. It shouldn’t look like that after only twenty years. Maybe at around double that. I’ve still got stormtroopers from Hasbro back around 2004 that are as white as the day they were put on the shelves. I’ve also got some that are definitely a tinge of yellow now. But nothing as bad as this Vegeta. He was not handled with care. 🤣
@@karascrow yes, the Prince of All Saiyans deserved better... 😅
It could also simply be plasticiser leaching, which doesn't mean that it was guaranteed to have been kept in hot temperatures. Just that it was kept in storage for too long, which allows the plastic to start sweating, as well the plasticiser to (I believe so, at least) sort of come off in a sort of gaseous form, creating the sticky build-up that you can feel on the surface of plastic figures that are kept within their packages for too long.
The way to prevent this is to open your figures up and let them breathe, effectively, which is much easier for things like newer Japanese figures which have easily opened and resealable packaging, rather than these older things backed on card.
@@batterupman That’s possible too. But wouldn’t it still be more white than yellowed?
This, and Trunks in his armor were my favorite toys growing up.
Yes! Loved that armored Trunks when I was a kid as well.
@@vascotoys with the gold hair, modeled from the cell fight. Pure gold.
I had so many figures from this line. Man, good memories. Thanks for this !!!
Very cool! Same here. It was such a fun toy line. So happy to hear you enjoyed the video.
Even though I wasn’t even conceived, I feel nostalgia radiating from these kinds of videos!
Keep up the good work VASCO Toys!
@@Batsyboodlebum123 I'm so glad you appreciate the nostalgia on these videos. Thanks for the kind words and support!
I really love more the old figures than new one's
Who doesnt used those old figures for make them fight around the house?
Even with the new ones, when Im bored, I take two and play 😅 But it makes me happy
I still have this toy from the 90s with all the armor intact, and just gave it to my kid along with all my other old DBZ toys.
Man that's awesome! I'm a father as well and look forward to hopefully sharing the hobby with my kids when they are ready.
The nostalgia! I can still smell the plastic of the Sailor Neptune figure I got along with some others in the early 2000s.
Awesome! Glad this brought back those sensory memories for you! Thanks for watching.
I have this old Vegeta and I loved it when I got it 30 years ago, even with the articulation and cheap materials issues.
To be honest, I don't prefer the shoulder and torso articulation in the new one. But I have to admit the faces are near perfection.
@JoseCarmonaLH I understand what you mean on the articulation for this new Vegeta, but totally agree on the faceplates.
0:14 Kakarot i dont feel so go-turns into a action figure
OMG!! I miss my childhood so much. I had a lot of this Dragon Ball toys. Amazing
@@fernando929305 they were great toys! Glad you had them and that this brought back those memories. Thanks for watching.
@@vascotoys Thanks for the video
So much nostalgia! Good video man!
Thank you! Glad to hear this brought back memories for you.
I was obsessed with the super battle collection figures as a kid for some reason. There was just something that seemed more special and collectible about them.
Made my mom buy the SS4 Vegeta online and it took weeks to arrive.
While the details in new figures obviously looks better, the one thing I don’t like about new figures like these is if you drop it on the floor it will bust into tons of pieces.
There was something nice about the simplicity of the toys back in the day.
@@lovesgibson I totally identify with being obsessed with those figures. There was something so interesting about them, especially the characters we hadn't seen in the English dub yet. And I do get what you mean about the modern figures. They're expensive and fragile, so if they do happen to break, it's a double whammy of emotions.
@@vascotoys it was also a thing where friends would have some or have one that you didn’t have or a rare one, so it made like a collectible aspect to them.
In some ways, because of the looks, they seemed low quality, but I guess the feel and durability, they felt high quality. Some of them have some weight to them, compared to other cheaper toys.
I guess figures and toys of characters in general back then were never that accurate looking, so it felt cool just to have actual figures of this show on tv that everyone was obsessed with.
This video sparked my memory of these large DBZ toys that I remember seeing in a toy store back in like 2002. After researching I found out that they were 15 inch figures also sold by Irwin. There was a super vegito one and a super saiyan Goku one.
I was blown away seeing these massive figures, but pretty sure they were expensive and my parents wouldn’t spend that kind of money.
I didn’t even know who the super vegito was because that was long before the Buu saga even came out in America.
Doing even more research just now, it seems like these figures might be another case where they were originally made by a Japanese company and then resold through Irwin… very odd.
Some of those toys back then just had a charm to them, even if they might’ve looked very wacky tbh
You can also pull the hands off Vegeta from the 90s
@@IsaacHerring-pc9uh oh cool! Had no idea. Thanks for telling me that.
My favorite look for Vegeta was the Cell Saga look.Looking back at the show my favorite era of the art is between the end of Dragon Ball and when Trunks arrives.
So now this is my favorite look for Vegeta.
Your site isn't working for me. I was interested in seeing how much your backdrops are.
Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment! Those are some great choices! I'm sorry the site isn't working. I do also have them available via ebay here: www.ebay.com/usr/vasco48_sc
The large backdrops are $60 plus shipping and the detolf sized ones are $30 each plus shipping. Backdrops have a 2-3 week lead time because they are professionally printed by a third party.
The one thing I can remember if I had that old vegeta is to try and make the "his power level is over 9 thousand!" Scene
No, I had bardock, which confused me cause I didn't see the special till way later, so I was like "is this goku or that guy from the tree movie?" Lol
🤣🤣🤣 I can relate to that. I had Vegito and Cell figures way before I ever saw them in the anime and had no idea who they were.
Good ole sticky elf ears Vegeta lol
Definitely a big fan of the Namek)Freiza saga, i love the S.H version if Vegeta & the old school one is nostalgic for sure!
@hyrulegend9786 🤣🤣🤣 I was so surprised when I opened him and discovered he was sticky. Not sure what that was about! Awesome! I really appreciate you watching and glad the video brought you back from a nostalgia standpoint.
@@vascotoys For sure guess it's one of those things with aging, he's been trapped in that box for years or was lol 😆Yeah I'm a big sucker for nostalgia 💕
people don't remember that anime merchandise was almost non-existent back in the 90s.
I had SSJ Goku and Final form Frieza but I thought there was some mistake with the Frieza one because the first dub never actually showed anything beyond first form Frieza. SSJ Goku was in the intro and was also wondering why we never saw him or Trunks. To be fair the 90's ones were actually toys while today they are figurines. Toys are meant to be played with while figurines are meant to be displayed
I appreciate you watching! I would disagree about your last point. A lot of collectors do "play" with these figures in the form of action figure photography. Especially when you think about forms like A.C.B.A.
i remember i had that figure when i was like 5 and i would do all sorts of things to it like throwing him around and soaking him water i would bring him to the beach 20 years later i found it in the front yard of my mom and dads place
@@adventuresofemberandsevi8596 🤣🤣🤣 sounds like you got your money's worth with him. Crazy that you found him all those years later
dude awesome video and comparison, but man it did hurt seeing you open that sealed copy 😅, you can get them loose and still do the comparison, so there will be more sealed in the wild lol, also the aging and stickiness is prob cause they storage the fig in a hot storage no ac or sun exposure
I understand what you mean. I couldn't find any loose ones that had the saiyan armor and that's the only reason I went with a sealed one. It felt like comparing the two Vegetas without the clip on saiyan armor would have been incomplete.
I had both Vegeta's growing up, along with Super Sayian Goku, Piccolo, Vegito and Gogeta even before I saw them in the Funmation dubbings on Cartoon Network. Good times but man I remember all those weak points, minus the fadded color and stinkiness.
Plus I always loved the sayian armor designs on characters so Namek was my favorite looks wise because slap a different color on a rando like Appule and you get Orlen a different character fun times😁.
@donovanbradford8231 yes the old figures, while flawed, made for some awesome childhood memories. I also LOVE the look of Saiyan armor and think the Namek Saga is the greatest part of all Dragon Ball.
You know this figure is really rare
@nicolaebafana3690 the sealed version is rare, but the loose figure isn't hard to find on eBay.
Great review man ! I’m subbing
@@Raadestdude hey! Many thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate the support.
I had a ss3 goku figure like that it was so cool
@@leroyowers9946 awesome! I showed the Super Saiyan 3 Irwin toys goku in my SS Goku comparison video that is part of this series.
I had the 90s Irwin's version and wanted them to have the same articulation as the figuarts one. I also removed the hair, I thought it was removable 😅
@DallasToysReviews yes! When I was a kid I really thought those old figures were a lot better than they actually were. They look so strange without the hair!
I remember my parents glueing the armor together cause i was terrible about it 😂😂 frieza armor too
@@PapaRainYT 🤣🤣🤣 well that's a solution to ensure you didn't lose your pieces! Thanks for sharing.
I wonder how much that old figure costs now
Probably about $70 or higher
I purchased the one you see in this video (sealed) for $34 on eBay.
i loved these toys from the 90's got many of these. best childhood!
Yes! They were great. I'm starting to recollect some of what I had and even some that I wanted and never got as a kid. It's been fun.
@@vascotoys unfortunatelly i've lost many of mine.
@strictlythemed ahhh, same happened to me. The only one I kept was the SS Goku. But, like I said I kind of started recollecting them. There are a ton on eBay.
@@vascotoys SSJ Goku was my first figure too of this collection. i remember my love was Vegeta anyway, after this collection there was The figures who launche's Ki blast from the hands by clicking the button behind the back
Hay I just now subscribe!! And you make Awesome Contact!! Good day bro 😎👊
@fredwilliams9695 thank you 😊
No problem bro 🙂
Sticky figures is from the plasticize, its more common if the figure has been sealed for a long time. Basically the plasticize vaporizes and has no where to go so creates as sticky layer.
@exiaR2x78 that's so interesting! After a while the stickiness went away on its own. I guess it just needed some air? Thanks for explaining this!
@vascotoys no worries 😅 been collecting a lot of anime figures for over 16 years. Is one of the interesting things ive learnt about over the years. If you every see listings on Japanese sites they label things as sticky if its got that which throws people off haha
Bro I remember this toy good stuff I wish I still had mine
Thank you! They have a bunch on eBay if you want to try and get the old figure again.
@@vascotoys do you have gundum wing Gundam Eypon and shelong gundum upgrade.
@@theviperkiller-io5ji I love Gundam, but I don't have any Gundam figures anymore. I did as a kid.
@@vascotoys I have the original figures just missing those two ikr love collecting
Straight 🔥 facts love this
I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed
Dragon Ball Super Battle Collection is the true best 90's dragon ball figure
Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion! That figure was such a great part of my childhood.
No wonder the armor is non removable on the modern vegeta figures since the armor would come off very easily and therefore many people lost it, and without it he looks like he’s wearing kids jammies
@@darknessmechainvader4960 🤣🤣🤣 that' so funny, but so true!
Vegeta hitting that Buu saga fit
Kinda feels lopsided to compare a toy made for kids too a collectors version. The differences are less the period of release, and more the MSRP.
I'm really just trying to show how much the action figure industry has evolved. The period of release is a HUGE factor here though. The technology the modern figures have simply didn't exist in the 90s.
I had the Irwin vegeta that was sporting the tank top and it came with a gun minus the pointy ears then later Android 17 with the Ribbon Army battle suit. Those were my first two I wanted Android 18 as a kid but was near impossible to find
@SlickAndroid17 very cool! I never got any of the Android figures as a kid. Would have been cool to have them!
@@vascotoys do you remember those giant Vegeta and goku walkie talkie’s? That vegeta had pointy ears 😂 I had those back in the day as well. I can’t remember whatever happened to them sadly
@SlickAndroid17 wow, I actually don't! There was so much cool DB, stuff back in the day. Like, I remember having this 1:1 scale DBZ toy sword (The one kid Gohan has in early DBZ) and it had a bunch of recording sayings from Goku.
@@vascotoys I remember that but never got my hands on it. How bought those mini ones I think there were four or six in each box. I live in Oregon so we had some neat Asian stores around that carried them Kmart I think had them. Ultimately i had vegeta and 17 of course trunks with his sword I had the ssj trunks with the armor that that you could remove like in your video but cell saga armor. Two ssj vegetas one with yellow hair the other gold panted hair. Kid trunks buu saga, bulma, Raditz and Nappa I remember one of their scouters was easily breakable which was sad. Oh the Burger King vegeta did you ever get that one?
@SlickAndroid17 Yes! I did have the Burger King figures and a lot of the other ones you mentioned. So many awesome DBZ toys and Collectibles out there!
I feel shfiguarts has had to step up their game because of all the third party creators. There are a lot of people making really great head sculpts and figures. Glad to competition driving progression. Also seeing that old school Vegeta brought back so many memories. I too collected those when I was a kid. I wish they would make a figure where you can take the armor of like that old one.
You are so right! The third party companies have caused SHF to step it up.
Awesome! These old DBZ figures were so much fun.
Hello, your videos are great, do you have any tricks for creating dbz power effects?
Thanks so much! I actually have never tried to make a DBZ effect. I mostly focus on making dioramas.
Man I really need that prince of all saiyans
He's such a good figure! Great for any DBZ collector.
7:17 bro fought Storm Collectibles Mike Tyson XD
I had the 90s vegeta
Very cool! It's a fun figure for sure
I hated those 90s figures no articulation no accessories nothing the only thing on par with being that bad were the Ronin Warrior spring action figures.
@Clintdaddy412 at the time I really thought they were great, but now it's obvious how limited they actually were.
Maybe a then vs now frieza
Good to know! Thanks for watching and suggesting.
frieza looked horrendous! He kinda looked like that giant gray monster from The Amazing World Of Gumball.
@@Batsyboodlebum123 don't worry, his turn is coming...
@@vascotoys HELL YEAH
His shoulders tho on full power. HIS SHOULDERS ARE BASKETBALLS
@@vascotoys also qui might make a release
@@Batsyboodlebum123 SHF Cui is actually shipping right now for those that pre ordered.
I think dragon stars has the Saiyan sages
@timomorphine yes, the certainly do!
I have great ape vegta, wonder if they have great apes Nappa & Raditz?
So far, I believe SH figuarts jas only done Great Ape Vegeta.
What's with all the spooky music?
The background music I chose sounds like Bruce Faulconer's style music from when Dragon Ball Z was on Toonami. That's why I used it.
Then vs Now with Bardock
Great idea! Making note of it for sure.
I need the ape form Vegeta
Ohhhh yes, very cool version of Vegeta for sure. I chose to pass on the SHF jumbo figure that was released a few years ago because of space and the price on it.
Who will be the next character in this series?
It will either be 100% Full Power Frieza or "Teen" Gohan.
its over 9000 lol
@@MarissaCrowser yes! Waaaaayyy over 9,000
Song?
Hey! I have several different tracks incorporated into this. I use epidemic sound for all my audio tracks and sound effects. If you can let me know which part of the video you're curious about, I will let you know what track that was.
Do frieze
He's on the list for a comparison video! Thanks.
No
So it doesn't have the tail? that neck gap is hideous. No figure is perfect but the super hero vegeta is not that bad.
No it doesn't have a tail because Vegeta's tail was cut off before the Namek Saga. I'm really not a fan of the Vegeta Super hero face plates.
@@vascotoys I know but this vegeta has on the box the power level he got when he arrived to earth with nappa so, I guess it should include the tail, he even has the face he made when he was facing goku's kamehameha, he includes a scouter when on namek he stopped using it. SHF announced a new vegeta with the darker blue suit he had when he died on namek so, another reason for this one to include a tail.
@trickjacko8482 I think Vegeta's power level during the Saiyan Saga is 18,000. He defintiley doesn't hit 24,000 until he gets to Namek. They make a big deal about his power level being specfically that level during the fight with Cui. Also the Armor on Namek doesn't have the hip and crotch guard.
Also, Vegeta does have the scouter during the very first part of the Namek Saga. He destroyed it in front of Dodoria because he says he doesn't need it anymore.
Please moisturize. Your hands are flaking
They would be cool figures if it was more joint movement
