Pop quiz, what do these two guys have in common?
-Evil older brother of the hero.
-Extremely evil and cruel, commits a hilarious amount of atrocities.
-Built up as a major threat.
-Ultimately is a total wuss in the grand scheme of the series.
-Sets off ALL the events of the series. The hero would have lived fairly peacefully (or died quickly against a powerful villain) if the brother had not shown up.
-Is completely and totally forgotten after he dies.
Yep! And the last part is true, too - sure, Raditz's landing was what turned Dragon Ball into Dragon ball Z, and Jagi's manipulation made Shin go bonkers and give Ken those scars, but both guys are just kind of forgotten after they died. At the very least, Buronson and Hara remarked that they wished they had done more with Jagi. But alas, Raditz ain't got no respect.
The Makankosappo (demon something cannon?) is Piccolo's signature move, although he never used it in Dragon Ball - he was still perfecting it when Z rolled around. It's a unique-looking blast, shaped (and functioning) like a drill, extremely fast, but with the sole disadvantage of requiring a lot of charging time. THis attack was what caused Goku's first death in a sacrifice to defeat Raditz. Since then, it's just been a useful part of Piccolo's (and later Cell's) arsenal.
Fun thing about this figure: He is posed specifically to take the charging and firing Special Beam Cannon poses, and you can take off his arm to simulate how he looked at the end of the Raditz fight. The beam effect came from an Iron man figure, though it looks perfect.
Slappy birfdart! <:D

A customized Raditz Boots and gauntlet I made to complete the costume for Raditz
For Inquiries: tomtomtomgoku325@gmail.com
As part of my "finding old stock at EB Games" campaign, I happened across good old Scouter Vegeta, or as the box says.. just "Vegeta".
So this particular incarnation of the character takes us almost all the way back to the beginning of Dragonball Z. Long before multiple Super Saiyan power ups and tournaments for the fate of the world with superpowered bioweapons, things were somewhat simpler.
The main threat to existence?
Aliens hunting for the Dragon Balls.
IIRC, after Goku and Piccolo barely fend off Raditz, the first evil Saiyan they come into contact with, the next pair of evil Saiyans are Nappa and our subject today, Nappa.
There are some cosmetic differences between this Vegeta and the others, of course. He's wearing what I believe is battle armour for Frieza's elite troops (they were BFFs at the time) and has that infamous scanner that allows for the reading of battle power of opponents and reminding people that everything is over 9,000.
One of the more significant changes, however, is the tail.
Saiyans are born with tails, and while they have this the sight of a full moon turns them into giant berserk ape that lays waste to anything around them. Very handy for planet conquering type activities, as you can imagine.
Contents of the package are pretty straight forward. You get the figure, four faces (neutral, sneer, gritted teeth, yelling) and I don't think any of them are unique to this set, two heads (one for use with the scouter), two scouters (one blank, one with fancy HUD stuff), crossed arm part, additional hands (clawed hands, open palm hands, dedicated left hand with crushed scanner) and an extended tail.
Being a 2.0 Dragonball figure, it goes without saying that the articulation and paint apps are strong, with the usual fuzzy paint masking that are part and parcel of the Figuarts game. Build quality wise I find that while things are generally good overall, I find that my right arm doesn't like to stay attached that well. An issue not limited to Vegeta in the entire Figuarts catalogue, but annoying none the less.
As with the other variants, you're gonna buy this Vegeta for the purposes of recreating certain scenes, or to get parts to kitbash your own ultimate figure. Black haired sculpt is nice to have, and actually having two such heads makes displaying this figure along side another black haired Vegeta possible, but alas its the wild and bushy villain Vegeta hair, which is more akin to his SSJ2 hair, rather than the more streamline base Vegeta look.
Oh well!
