I just got the entire 1-53 episodes of the Ocean dub a few minutes ago in the mail. All brand new, all from Gamemusic.com. I can't believe I had enough conviction to just buy the whole damn thing in one swoop.

Just got these in the mail today...

I've been looking for them, mainly for the Goku & Chi Chi figure, for about six months now. Finally a set came up from a respectable seller on eBay that I've bought from in the past, and they're now mine. :D

These are the first Megahouse miniature figures I've gotten, and they're just as detailed as the big Portrait of Pirate figures I own. Definitely going to look into getting their new Freeza set coming out next month.

I love those kind of figures!
Is there any chance of finding bigger pictures of them on the net? What is the name of the series?
They look awesome.

Wow, what is up with Goku's hair in the kissing figure?! When you get a chance could you post a close up pictur of Goku's head from a side-view?

And that you sailorspazz for posting those pictures I requested.

LMAO Oh god Rambo I can never unsee that. Goku has a shark fin on his head.

The Goku & Chi CHi figure looks much better at an angle or form behind Chi Chi. His hair does look off when viewed directly from the side though.

I would imagine, Goku's hair is always hard to model perfectly in 3D.

Thanks for the link! There were some close-ups there.
But they are discontinued in their stock, which is kinda logical since you looked for them for so long.

The Goku and Chi Chi figure looks great. So it isn't really a sharks-fin :lol: .

....... How can noone have pointed out the obvious amazing thing there in that set? It's a freaking Postboy styled like that awesome old picture. All they need is some traffic cones.

God I need a good place to pick up just single gashapon. I only want two from that set, but damn I want those two!

I have to say, the Mr. Satan is definitely my favorite of the set.

Which two? The only one I'm not willing to part with is the Goku & Chi Chi figure.

If anyone will be interested in that, it will be Rocketman. :)

I'm amused by Goku's escher-style hair (but I always am) but I'm impressed that they did a romantic figure. You don't even really see that much of it in the series itself.


I'm not even sure I remember Goku and Chi-Chi kissing in the anime's version of that scene.

Come to think of it, have we ever seen Goku kiss her in the manga or anime at all? (I know she's kissed him). :?:

Darn. But, while I'm not looking to buy, you gotta tell me. In the 18 statue, are those Vegeta's legs sticking out of the rock? :lol:
