Alright! Another Chalice Collectibles snag, and of course, it's another Vegeta! This one is something I feel like is going to make my 2026 list! I'll explain more as we go through the review. So without any more delay, let's take a look at this POP!
Of course, a Dragon Ball Super POP. Pretty sure I'm going to skip this wave unless more exclusives from this wave aren't pictured.
Vegeta started wearing armor again in Super, and honestly, it’s my favorite look for him. I know there’s some symbolic meaning behind him stripping off his armor piece by piece throughout DBZ, but he just looks better with it on. Plus, it helps cushion the blows in battle!
As a POP, Vegeta has had plenty of solid releases, but this one stands out thanks to the sculpt and attention to detail. As always, the hair sculpt is awesome — it’s the most recognizable part of Vegeta, and this POP nails it. He also has a sculpted energy aura behind him, representing the blue ki he gives off when charging an attack or powering up. All in all, sculpt-wise, this Prince of all Saiyans looks fantastic.
While the POP is labeled “Charging Up,” this is clearly Vegeta powering up for his iconic Final Flash. The pose is perfect, and combined with the energy flare behind him, the whole figure looks dynamic and powerful.
The shade of blue used for his Super Saiyan Blue hair isn’t exactly my preferred tone (I like it a bit darker), but considering the glow-in-the-dark gimmick, it works really well. The rest of the paint apps are sharp with good color choices, making the POP look clean and vibrant overall.
Adding elements to this guy really adds more dramatic effect to an already intense scenario. Really awesome.
Now the glow-in-the-dark is the gimmick of this POP. I've encountered a few of these gimmicked POPs in the past, but this is definitely one of the best ones I've come across! The big piece of plastic acting as an energy-giving glow-in-the-dark gimmick really illuminates things!
This is my current benchmark for glow-in-the-dark Super Saiyan POPs. The glowing eyes and hair make for some incredible photos.
I'm pretty sure that Saiyan Saga Vegeta's Galick Gun will hardly give SSB Vegeta. It is good to see them together.
Technically, SSB Vegeta is the first phase of Final Flash and then the SSJ Vegeta.
There is an SSG Vegeta with a similar special effect to the SSB POP. Another Chalice Collectibles exclusive.
Instant classic picture! Goku's iconic Kamehameha against Vegeta's Final Flash!
Funny how the blue tints are so drastically different. Then again, Gogeta is beyond SSB Vegeta's power level.
While it isn't Gohan's main move, it is nice to see the Mankankosappo right next to Vegeta's Final Flash.
Just the gimmick alone makes this worth it, but it’s also a genuinely good-looking POP with the right amount of detail and accurate colors. It perfectly captures Vegeta performing one of his most iconic moves. This is an awesome addition to my Vegeta lineup. Highly recommended! I had a lot of fun taking pictures of him — that glowing effect is just the perfect icing on the cake. Very happy to have him!
Until Next Time!
