Character Background
King Vegeta is the former King of the Saiyans and the father of Prince Vegeta. He first appeared in Dragon Ball Z during flashbacks of the destruction of Planet Vegeta by Frieza.
Design Notes
The shoulder armor is a unique molded piece designed specifically to fit between the head and torso; the hair mold is a specialized 'spiky' design unique to the Saiyan aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
Custom Prince Vegeta, Custom Nappa, Custom Goku, or Custom Raditz figures.
Collectibility
Low for purist LEGO collectors; moderate for Dragon Ball fans who enjoy 'MOC' (My Own Creation) anime displays.
History
LEGO has never officially licensed the Dragon Ball franchise. Consequently, third-party companies have created thousands of designs to fill the demand for anime-accurate figures.
Interesting Facts
The symbol on the left side of the chest is the Royal Saiyan Crest. Official LEGO minifigures currently do not have a license for Shueisha/Toei Animation properties, making all DBZ figures unofficial.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a LEGO-compatible 'Throne' MOC or with other Saiyan characters like Broly and Bardock.
Modification Potential
Excellent for parts; the hair piece and armor can be used to create custom Saiyan warriors or other high-fantasy characters.
Overall Assessment
A well-detailed third-party custom figure that captures the character's likeness accurately. While not a genuine LEGO product, it is a popular item for anime enthusiasts and niche collectors.
