Do they have any shipping discounts if you buy more than one item?

I saw those a month or so ago at Mandarake, this anime/manga/tokusatsu mall thing in Nakano. Amusingly, the store that was selling them had a big Alien-inspired statue up front, so the Freeza figure fit in well.
Kanzenshuu: Is that place still around?

Also, unrelated, but check out these smokin’ Bulma and Chi-chi figures… pretty much everything about this line is drool-worthy.

Is there something wrong for me for seeing endless Piccolo hentai opportunites with that figurine. :oops:

I picked this one up whilst in Japan for the same price - equated to about £5, I think. They also had a rather awesome Super Saiyan 3 Goku, but due to budget constraints whilst travelling, I decided against getting it. They're lovely figures, but they're a tad small. I also remember spending a good amount of yen attempting to get a Majin Vegeta (I think it was Majin, otherwise just Super Saiyan) from a claw machine. Japan was literally littered with prize-machines filled to the brim with Dragonball goods.

Just for those who want a list of the full DX Creatures line of figures, here ye be!

http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist.cgi? ... &x=42&y=11

Outside of just the aforementioned 3rd form Freeza, first form Cell and King Piccolo, theirs also Porunga, 2nd form Zarbon, and Oozaru Vegeta. IDK about all of you, but I intend to pick up this entire line, all I need now is DX Kid Buu and Bebi, and I'm set! Enjoy :D
EDIT: Sorry for the long URL, IDK how to make it into text like some of you do. :oops:

Yeah, I ran into this the other day when doing a quick search in eBay for "dragon ball banpresto." As awesome as that figure is, it looks more disgusting than awesome or creepy like the Freeza and Cell figures:?. Still a good find, though.

On another note, do you guys think they'll add more to this "Dragon Ball Creatures" line of figures? I remember seeing the Vegeta Oozaru and transformed Zarbon figures on eBay, but that's it. Dunno where else they can go from there.

Also note the size of both figures: 18.2 x 14.0 x 8.3 cm/240g. Pretty detailed looking for something not that big. Though I guess that's something of a good thing. Less shelf space to take an' all that.

No 18. There is a Chi-Chi one, however it's 'unavailable' at the moment.

*edit It's unavailable at the moment, but you can pre-order.

The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

If Freeza ever makes it to a live action movie, I hope he looks like that.

More details can be found here: http://www.hlj.com/product/BNP45193-A

Freeza is posed on all fours! Thats pretty creepy. :shock:
Damn. I saw these figures at the anime expo in London!

I regret not buying Freeza sooo much! :x

Oh well. At least I bought 2 mini Jump 40th anniversary Dragonball x One Piece toys of Zoro on Shenron and Shenron on Thousand Sunny. :D

Wow, I really want that Freeza!
I'll be ordering that some time.
*runs to write his anime club*

I'm hoping for an Oozaru of Vegeta or something like that.
