S.H. Figuarts SUPER SAIYAN 4 VEGETA Dragon Ball GT Action Figure Review

It might not be Dragon Ball Z or Super but GT does still hold some fan favorite moments and character designs. Will this unique transformation of the Saiyan Prince make for a nice enough toy for even DBZ loyalists to still spend the money?

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

For me, ssj4 is arguably the best or second-best ssj form behind ssj. Love the Ozaru ties to the form. Don't have him yet but excited for his release as easily the best Vegeta they've done if the looseness wasn't such an issue.

[@monkbop8044]

It's a great full circle transformation. DBS took it to the extreme with all the dumb transformations

[@JRLSpiderman]

SSB is the only form that was unnecessary

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

@@JRLSpiderman Yeah the intial ssg being a colour change was a good unique idea imo for the time but once they added yet another colour change and just kept on going it got really repetative.

[@JRLSpiderman]

Yea, SSB is so unnecessary. Good thing they fixed that adding UI, something completely Unique

[@greenraptorstudios4978]

These are the kind of reviews I like best from you Anthony. You have the unique ability to separate Objectivity and Subjectivity when review something like this. That's the fine line that separates you from many other reviewers, able to address both sides of the argument.

[@timdoe8895]

Ssj4 is phenomenal. Honestly perfect Super Saiyan form and it of course looks amazing. Second favorite form behind ssj3.

[@xeanheart]

I'm with you on the 3.0 legs being a step backwards from the 2.0, especially with those annoying hard plastic butts killing articulation. Unfortunately I think they're gonna be here to stay because on social media, whenever anyone points out the flaws on these legs they get torn apart by simps who fawn over the shiny new thing.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

the internet is now full of people trying to get noticed by the toy companies by singing their praises constantly.

[@retroguy95]

hype culture and social media are both pretty trash god forbid you have any type of criticism for anything nowadays.

[@JJ-jh4cm]

This! Some people don't know that a figure that can move it's legs backwards can make or break some dynamic poses. Wouldn't be surprised though, people who's okay with a limited leg range pose their figures like it has a plank of wood glued on it's back lmao.

[@josuemaltez137]

@@JJ-jh4cmI think some people just prefer forward articulation more then backwards so it all goes down to preference. Personally my figure had great back and forward articulation on the legs.

[@MuShinnen]

SSJ4 is probably the best call back to their actual ape like heritage outside of the great ape forms. Far more creative than the simple hair color swaps from Super. Really like the designs for both Goku and Vegeta, but SSJ4 Gogeta is easily my favorite.

[@retroguy95]

SSJ4 is by far the best form it ties back to both their Saiyan heritage and also Journey to the West which the series was inspired by, definitely much better than anything from DBS they dropped the ball so hard with Super. This figure is great but waaay to small Vegeta grows about a foot taller in that form he should be as tall as Gohan. I got lucky with mine and don't have a single QC issue this is honestly one of the better figures despite some if flaws.

[@JRLSpiderman]

Why is the fur red though? Why do they have red around their eyes? SSJ4 isn’t even a SSJ transformation. Its kind of its own thing. I don’t understand the hype around personally

[@shadowfan272]

At first I wasn’t much of a fan but over time I don’t know why I just slowly became a fan, love that form now lol

[@nickbraam7274]

Love the ssj4 look and fur but I hate their shirts disappear then reappear when they power down

[@Rakerong]

I wouldn't think too much of that. Goku is a kid with kid sized clothes but then when he goes SSJ4 it's adult sized. I just attribute it to being Dragonball magic logic.

[@LEEHAMLOL]

I just got this one recently, and it's gotta be one of my favorite figures in the entire line. Really wish this had some better shading like the OG Scouter Vegeta did though

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I miss the shading too

[@darthInsanius]

Yeah Super Saiyan 4 is easily my favorite form. Only one that comes close for me is SSj2. I love the uniqueness of SSj4. I think they knocked it out of the park with the design.

[@buutardd]

Ssj2 is just super saiyan with more forehead and lightning bolts wdym?

[@darthInsanius]

@@buutardd Yeah you’re right, but I think it looks a lot better than SSj1. SSj4, though is definitely the best imo tho.

[@reacts6230]

Vegeta definitely got the short end of the stick with his ki effect compared to both UI and SS4 Goku

[@kevinlevin5088]

and for some reason vegeta costs more!

[@95blckfirebird1]

So, overall...I really like this figure. You're right about everything. For me, the first thing I noticed on this figure was the odd design on those pants. I also wish the body hair had a wash to it too. The loose hips are not good. But damn, Darwin's power level is Omega! I love the SS4 deign, it makes sense because of their heritage. And SS3 is probably my favorite of all time,too.

[@Pipelicioso]

They fixed the height of Vegeta, that's cool

[@allenrichiez930]

Annoying how they fix it on the one figure that actually SHOULD BE SOME WHAT TALL🗿

[@Pipelicioso]

​@@allenrichiez930that's a misconception from the fandom, GT wasn't really consistent with heights in the series but super saiyan 4 doesn't make the characters taller

[@Shi1take]

The Darwin shots at the end kill me lol

[@eligamerman]

Awesome review, hoping we get a DBZ Vegeta with this articulation scheme relatively soon 🙏

[@angelberrios6686]

Mmm…for me, SSJ3 is my favorite Saiyan form. However, I’m okay with SSJ4. It’s off putting at first but I found myself warming up to it after a while. I always thought SSJ4 would look a lot better by keeping the SSJ3 hair with both the chest hair and tail, while keeping the signature golden color of the classical Super Saiyan forms. I like forms better when they build upon on what came before. before. Kinda like a evolution, you know what I mean?

[@stupidsaiyan2131]

I just got this guy, Honestly not a bad figure. A good first sh figuarts vegeta for me yet i got one with mixed qc. Overly tight upper body and the same exact hip problem as you Anthony, thankfully a bit of silicone old and some superglue and this guy is pretty much fixed up. Highly recommend if to anyone interested, it's worth the gamble simply for how fun and good looking vegeta is.

[@D-Pooly]

This should have been the figure of the year, but the amount of QC issues these Vegetas had ruined it so bad, mine had a few, like most. What bothered me the most was the back of one leg was matte finish while the other one was too shiny, had to varnish the stupid thing myself 😂

[@SaiyanPoy]

Rewatching this review again just to make sure I wasn’t the only one with the uneven forehead lines in the smirking faceplate. 5:13 😮‍💨

[@Cronics_official]

Those thigh cuts make it look like he's ready to make craneberry juice, overall good looking figure though currently waiting for mine. Great review as always.

[@DJNoGood]

I personally LOVE this figure! So far I am really liking the colors of the GT designs a lot more than the other lines. As of now, I am torn between this and Legendary Super Saiyan Goku as my favorite.

[@TheZombiemofo]

What's happened to SHF? They used to be known for sparse yet quality releases, now they seem to have gone for quantity at the sacrifice of quality and it's not for the betterment of the product.

[@theBLUNTdagger]

Love the reviews man! You're definitely saving me a lot of💵 do they improve on these issues with the next waves or do they just stay the same?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

seems random. could be one near perfect figure and then one pretty bad one. happy to help

[@SWAGGERMAN_SWAG]

i got this figure and it arrived earlier and i can confirm its really good

[@joehodgson9217]

With hips that loose it makes me think the factory thought Bandai ordered a Super7 Vegeta and not Super Saiyan 4.

[@kerrycaldwell2519]

mine came out the box with the wobble legs :( is there any way to fix it? i cannot pose him with the legs ben cause the pelvic thigh area just falls right back into place... very sad cause hes a cool figure

[@kerrycaldwell2519]

same as yours his left leg is more firm but his right leg flops around all over for me...

[@kerrycaldwell2519]

like to the point if you try and make him do the splits like you did the leg just flops right back down thee is 0 friction to hold it in place and this is brand new out of box...is there any way to fix this??

[@ProbablyIronMan10005]

Just got the super saiyan 4 goku and I love it mine is about to come in this weekend and I can’t wait to get him

[@YoungIceMgk]

Mines don’t have loose joints so I’m happy with mines, my only problem with the figure is the thighs, they should have slimmed the legs down a bit and just put an even straight cut like marvel legends figures does at the upper thigh. They should have gave the effects that came with the figurine model kit but Overall this figure is the best ss4 vegeta action figure made

[@daviid_ee]

I'd say these releases are super inconsistent. I was a little weary about getting this guy. My SS4 Goku has a rather loose neck and ankle joint. Thankfully, my Vegueta came out really good. No loose joints whatsoever. My friend's figure, on the other hand, has the same loose hips as Anthony's.

[@JonoSSD]

I have SS4 Goku and the design of the figure is great, but this new factory still needs to work on their QC. I got some joints loose, others too tight, a big gap between the hair and the forehead, neck joint way too weak, tail won't connect even with a lot of force, color issues, etc. Compared to many other Dragon Ball SH Figuarts I own, it's both one of the prettiest and one of most fragile. So I decided to skip Vegeta.

[@user-ek4lu5vz2h]

His hand peg came off but it snaps on with a little force

[@bluevegito-6979]

I just order the 2 ssj4 your reviews really helped made my decision brother, both figures would be nearly perfect if they just painted these figures a little more

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Enjoy

[@bluevegito-6979]

I just got Vegeta dope figure I just hate that I got the same issue with the loose leg to the side tho probably one of my main complaint

[@mats_hat]

Is the legs being loose problem for all them or just his?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It seems to be pretty universal

[@NightWatch0997]

@4:08 it's not just on their DB line. Other anime line, kamen rider both shinkochou seihou (SS) and not SS line, super sentai, ultraman etc. Have this weird sticking out thigh thing, even some have their thigh covers the upper joint, which heavily hinder the legs articulation. I mean, you can still move the legs, but there's no way doing it without scuffing the thighs itself and rubbing the paint off.

[@romestreams9660]

What stands do you use? Specifically the one at 11:07 ?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Tamashii act 4

[@romestreams9660]

Thank you!

[@Raiden-the-Goat32]

Super saiyan for I actually am a fan of but I am also a fan of ssj 3 and the ssj god form's. But each form I like for different reasons.

[@SuperZX49]

Why would they sculpt buttchicks? You can't move legs back because of them

[@treyvonishere4375]

I think this figure would be better if the plastic had a matte finish like the Goku. Oh and a wash would bring out the fur texture.

[@raceofbk]

They're ok for the most part. Haven't watched the entire arc but compared to gen 1, I can do without it.

[@TheStrscrm]

My favourite forms in the entire anime.

[@josuemaltez137]

I love the figure honestly, I picked him up a bit late (this morning) but wow what a great figure I managed to pick him up for $60 and while he was a bit pricey and I wish he could’ve been $45-$50 I still think for $60 it’s not that entirely bad considering the fact that it brought an insane amount of hands, a good amount of faces and his final shine attack, the 3.0 body is insanely amazing for both posing and playing, my only 2 issues with this figure is the extremely stiff shoulders, and that for $65 (official retail price) it would’ve been nice if they threw in an aura accessory

[@josuemaltez137]

And maybe it’s just me but I kind of like the nice and meaty legs I think it makes this ssj4 vegeta look more menacing lol

[@Gemoroda]

best transformation ever (only my opinion)

[@gemininosaga]

I like the figure but those Great Mazinger like fins on his legs. Why?

[@D-Prime248]

he's too small, when they transform in ssj4 they become considerably larger in height and muscularity

[@David-nq8cv]

Yeah, the dragon stars version is more accurate in height only

[@madman19979]

No he's not, all the other Vegetas have been way too tall. This is the first one that is the proper size.

[@David-nq8cv]

@@madman19979 but wrong for a ssj4 size by being short

[@FlyinggMushroom]

The plastic feels way cheaper compared to the usual figuarts. Particularly the boots, they look like a dragonstars quality

[@javebutler8143]

What’s your opinion on GT as a show?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

half good half terrible

[@javebutler8143]

@@AnthonysCustoms yea I agree Really missed the mark imo

[@gfhhfgZ]

Are you going to review the Imagination Works Vegeta? I recently got him and I think he looks amazing, especially when you compare him to the Goku one. My only complaint would be that I wish he had some energy effects, and maybe that I really hope the cloth he has actually lasts. For the question, my favorite look I guess depends a bit on the character, for Goku definitely is SSJ4 but for Vegeta I think SSJ looks the best because the hair goes really well with his blue outfit.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

after how bad goku was, i do not plan to review it.

[@jcam320]

Send him yours as a sample to review for us lol

[@richardthompson87]

Such a shame they blew it on the legs, can overlook the thigh high boots look at certain angles but I've had this figure fall over regularly...

[@mrjukeboxparty4563]

I hope they release a ssj4 gogeta that has a pair of fusion hands for vegeta

[@augustoleyesmontiel7379]

I prefer Super forms over SS4. SSG and SS Blue looks awesome specially on Vegeta. Not counting ultra Ego. If the fur colours where brown or Black could be better

[@bluevegito-6979]

Can we get some big boy affect parts for these figures please, without having to pay Bandai premium money lol

[@pamellabacelette3404]

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I can't buy everything and i haven't seen the anime yet. Only other option is review samples and they haven't sent review samples.

[@mykol9656]

His legs on the thighs look like cowboy chaps! Lol

[@jdrobinson2394]

I know the trolling factor plays a part in the Darwin thing but we need some in-universe comparison like just keep one Goku figure around for comparison

[@AnthonysCustoms]

yeah. cuz having vegeta up against goku wasnt enough in the video... needs more different goku comparisons. it's never going to be enough. thats why i use a ruler.

[@EderCheder9000]

Man the hips are wack but you can hide that lip when you pose it. The leg joints on mine are perfect. Looks like you got a bad one :/

[@Kade503]

Vegeta got back...unfortunately. That leg cut as well, yikes. I was never a huge GT fan, it was alright yet somehow managed to have what seemed like filler without even being based off a manga :/. SSJ4 design is definitely interesting and unique, though I do wish their "fur" was different color. That and changing Vegeta's gloves and boots to light purple always seem like a very odd choice. Hopefully the one I have on the way has tighter joints.

[@cbradley3058]

Ssj4 is my favorite form in Dragon ball

[@NathanNguyen128]

My copy also has loose hip but the shoulders + bicep swivels are extremely tight. Really good looking figure but the joints' quality is quite bad tbh.

[@infamous6283]

My hips and legs are fine but my shoulders are pretty tight as well not to the point of worry though

[@NathanNguyen128]
