That thing is awesome. I'd love to get it and I have the money but I don't know. I kinda was a Wii more.

You guys must all be:

A. Broke (get a job?)
B. Lazy
C. Have no idea how to save.
D. Have ENORMOUS bills.

Because honestly, even with a minimum wage job working a few hours a week, you could easily afford this. Learn how to penny pinch brothas.

Quite honestly, at that price any action/collector figure is a ripoff. Though from a sellers perspective it might fetch a pretty penny in the future (i.e. Saint Seiya Myth Cloth figures).

Pretty much everything nowadays is a rip off.

I'm not much for Action Figures, but...wow, that is simply an amazing work of art, right there.

A. Broke (get a job?)

Ever hear of bills? Rent, food, power, internet, transportation needs and the like. Even on my salary that is a steep price for a hunk of plastic wrapped in cloth, no matter how detailed.

I'm sorry, but, his face looks really bad to me.

Bills was D on my list, I guess you didn't read the whole post.

Oh my gosh, it's the best figure I've ever seen

, it's awsome. I wonder if they're making one of those for the most important characters, I'd like to see a Vegeta or Trunks one.

Wow. The Ssj hair is just...incredible. Love the sculpt.

Medicom really knows how to make badass figures that have actual material for clothing, and good sculpting. I wouldn'd mind picking thisSon Goku, along with the Lupin the 3rd figure they have. But of course, they're far too expensive and I don't collect action figures anymore. But one day when I feel like going on a money splooge, maybe I'll pick this up.

The face looks better for the Super Saiyan one. Tell me when they're making one for Freeza. (Preferablly in his small, chair-riding form). Then I'll be excited. I'd pay up to three, and maybe even fivehundred dollars for one, depending on how good it was. Especially if you could take him out of his Hover Round and reposition his limbs and tail. Infact, his tail should be wire-adjustable. I'd have a true nerdgasam.

I agree. His face is less then great.

I can afford, but I still don't think it's worth that pricetag. I care about appearence, not so much how much I can position him. With a figure of that price 99% of the buyers will probably have him sitting in the shelf, unopened (and un-posed) anyway.

I think they need to expand upon there collection and make other characters, cause sure, you got to make the obligatory Goku, but maybe a Piccolo and Vegeta would be nice. I would buy those probably.

That has to be one of the best I've seen so far, real cloth (YAY).
I have a vegeta one, from the cell saga, definately not to that quality though!
I have to agree on the not-so-brilliant face.
Although it must be hard to depict it properly, The faces alweays seem to be the iffy part.
With the one's I've seen anywho.

I wish I was rich enough I could blow money on stuff like that.

I can't wait to pick up that Super Saiyan one. Well, to have both of them, really. It would display nicely with my other DB stuff. I hope they do some other characters though, that would be fantastic.

Damnit, I want them, but I'm having money problems at the moment thanks to the Government, I say that a lot, and because of my bloodclot I can't go to college and get my $60 a week.

There are other things I want to buy too, like the rest of the Gundam DVDs, more English and Japanese volumes of Yotsuba&, the other Yotsuba& stuff like Revoltech toys and the daily Calendar, and some other Dragonball and Dragonball Z DVDs.

Pre-order from Sideshow now! They distribute a lot of Medicom toys outside of Japan and work with them making replicas sometimes:
