The last cover art is now on show here.
I think that's some of the best box art I've ever seen. I'll be picking up the last one just for that shot. Amazing.

EDIT: I'll have wallpaper sized images later. Here's some slightly larger images:

Greatest covers ever, imo.

Isn't sad how 4 single covers can single-handedly pwn everything FUNi has ever put out?

Those covers are just gorgeous. I just love the one with Vegetto (kinda looks like the cover image for the Movies Dragon Box, heh) and the last one. Just amazing..

I wish I could buy 'em :(

I love that art. It would be amazing if the shows were animated that way. Although I'm not sure how much I'd like it... since I prefer the manga style a bit, too. You can kind of see this cover art style in some of the game intros.

I would kill to have a poster with Volume 48's Illustration! That one is just amazing! My favorite R2 Cover to date! I can't wait to see the design for the original DB's covers! Hopefully they'll fit in with DBZ's.

Look at Trunks and Goten on the last cover. Hehe.

I know, I know I'm being gross! Those covers are amazing though, hopefully the DB covers will be just as good.

So you're saying "Ew, they're gay because they're holding hands"? Come on, get some higher standards for grossness already.

I don't think that's what he was trying to say. I think Mosaic was pointing out that some people automatically think of 'gay' when they see men holding hands or what-not.

Which ones are those? Better yet, could someone link me to the main site so I could see the images?

Geez, you took the words outta my mouth. Hmm... what else can I say..? I like 44 best. It reminds me that Boo looks better with a chin :).
I actually think I like number 45 out of the first three posted here. The composition looks a little more interesting... o3o

Well, I've gotta agree with Rocketman on this one... the cover of Vejito looks pretty sweet. :3
Art, etc. links taken down for now. Will be updated at some point. I dunno.

I NEED A NEW SIGNATURE D:

These are totally sweet. I'm glad I pre-ordered these at 25% off! WooHoo! Even though I'm primarily getting FUNIs new box set for the cheap subtitles, the entire month of Feb. won't be a waste with these.

Got three covers wallpaper sized. Unfortunately, the screensaver does not display the final cover. It will probably be displayed during March, while we wait for the Dragon Ball R2 DVDs.

These discs are out in Feb, and the DB discs are out in April. What are they releasing in May? Anything? And anyone know of the TV Specials?
