I just stumbled upon these bad boys in a local comic/collectibles shop. The three of them came together in a single box, apparently some sort of Comic Con exclusive or something.
They're smaller than the picture makes them look.

Yeah, they are the SDCC metallic versions of the Battle of Gods 3 inch figures released when the movie was originally coming out.

Cool in their own little way but too small for my liking. Maybe if it included a Beerus figure, I might have picked them up.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Got these last weekend. They both look lovely (the hair shading on Vegetto is fantastic), but the only problem I have with them is that I can't imagine Vegetto and Cell being the same height, especially considering Goku is at least one head shorter than Cell. Can anyone clarify this? I included the box in the photo in case anyone could identify which series of figures it is and who made it (only logos on the box are Banpresto and Toei).

Well to be fair, Gotenks is a lot taller than Trunks/Goten, so I would imagine Vegetto to be quite a bit taller than Goku/Vegeta as well.

Although I'm not gonna lie, I'm damn jelly over that Cell figure.

Another daily shirt, this time from YeeTee.

I don't even care that they missed Super Saiyan 2. If anything, it made me laugh - as it reminded me of the fact that everyone else (Toriyama included) seems to forget it exists :P

This past Sunday I went to Iberanime with alakazam^, in Lisbon, to see Hironobu Kageyama perform (which was incredibly awesome, as expect) and picked up a few Dragon Ball stuff as well. Because of course I did :lol:

My quest for a complete tankoubon set continues with volume 25 (though I still need 22 before reading the 23 and 24 that I already have :P ) :

Not really a purchase, but I also got Kageyama to sign my Dragon Box Z single #48. Seemed apropriate, with Goku's "Thank you, Dragon Balls!!!" line :D

DBZ Full Colour Volume 2. If they keep releasing them, I'll keep buying them. I would love to have the manga all the way through in this form. Doubt it will happen somehow. Still, a cool version of the series to own even if it does just end up being the Saiyan Saga.

I was thinking about buying the DBZ Season Blu Ray sets (I asked for advice on here about it)... in the end, I've decided against it. I'm sure at some stage I will buy the series again, but this release is not the answer! I deeply regret not buying the Dragon Boxes now.

Good day indeed :D
Oh btw if anyone wants UV Code for Son of Batman just pm me. Since I'm in the UK and it's a US Import it won't work. Oh and I have one for TDKReturns Deluxe Ed too.

Ah, thank you! That's good to know. Once I have more BD players than just a PS3, I might just consider upgrading my Orange Bricks to these, although by that point Manga UK will probably have licensed them for a domestic release.

I ordered Dragon Box 6 off Amazon for £35 in pretty nice condition, considering the new lowest price is £55 I'd say I got lucky.


Also there's a DBOX 7 for sale for a low price of £39, it's got two rips on the spine but considering the second lowest price is £229 would you guys say I should go for it?

EDIT: I've decided against it, instead I'll order a DBOX 5 because I don't want a copy with rips in it, I'd rather get the best quality boxes I can, I'll just wait til the one rare day I can get a high quality DBOX 7 and 2 ;_;
thomas1up are fuckin terrible and need to fuck off asap all the other noobs are decent thouhg
