God, it seems like only the Trunks/Cold pack are the only accurate looking figures. The Vegeta/Nappa old armor is hilarious as hell.

Why the hell aren't the old Irwin toys being rereleased? :(

Didn't Jakks already rerelease some of those?
...Not that that should stop them from doing it again. They love to rerelease the same things several times. :roll:

I've yet to see a single Irwin toy released by Jakks in ANY toy store/department I've been to. Hell, only DBZ toys I ever see are the awful looking Jakks ones and the Bandai miniture figures.

What's with the colors on Vegeta's Sayan armor? Were they once like that? :shock:

The first run of these are the shit. They are repackages of Bandai's Soul of Hyper Figuration line and they are super detailed and painted awesome and if you're a fan of gashapon type mini statue things, they are awesome. Here's the Ginyu Force I collected from the first set Jakks put out:

If you're less about playing with them and more about displaying them or having something cool on your PC tower, these are definitely something to look out for.

Don't know if anyone cares but I looked for this pic for my last responce and couldn't find it.

Found it: Image

Those are the ones that I'm assuming will be included in this next release.
