The Dragon Ball ones look fantastic, but the Z ones... bleh!

In my opinion, those are pretty ugly and quite scary!

The Kid Buu one would be okay without the smoke.

I think the Trunks figure makes him look like a villain!

... You know, I've never considered myself a big action-figure collector, but most of the Dragonball figures on this site are looking EXTREMELY attractive to me right about now.
I might end up dumping some money on a few things from this site at some point... provided I can decipher enough French to do it right.
Also... GokuxChi-chi keychain. They look so frigging CUTE.
WANT. O_O
Art, etc. links taken down for now. Will be updated at some point. I dunno.

Browsing through that, there's a few things I want... notably the Buu and Trunks/Goten fusion plushes. Super adorable. I'm always looking for DB plushes, but I can never find decent ones.

There are far to many awesome figures on that site, I must stop looking or else my wallet will suddenly open and my credit card bill will become enormous.
But seriously, so many cool figure. Too bad that the Scouters and stuff are all sold out.

Fixed. Gave me quite a chuckle too!
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]
