If those were, like, $10 apiece, I'd be all over that shiz.

I love accesories!!!! :D

Damn those figures look awesome. When the hell were they released?

Also this figure looks really cool.

EDIT: wait they have those quick change figures up on toywiz right now for 20 a piece, that's not that bad.

Those are really cool. I want them and I don't even collect toys.

I hope they make more for this line.
Hell, I think they're like $10 at Wal-Mart.

Yeah, not a good idea to go by a lot of Ebay prices, most of those are going really cheap... Possibly check the Wallgreens in your area?

I thought people might want to see these video reviews, since this is one of the newer figure on the market right now that you can get - this is a review for Power Booster Goku! He's one of the most disturbing Goku's I've ever seen honestly! Check out the amazing man hooter articulation!:

Ok just found some more news on a few of the news things coming out - Apartly this news broke months ago, but this is certainly the first I'm hearing about it! Check out some of the great new stuff coming out exclusively for the American market at some point this year - lots of really nice looks play sets, and a few awesome looking figures. I did not take any of these photos or videos, and they were all taken at the Dallas Toy Fair. No clue when these figures are coming out either. For now just check out the pics!:

Wow, if the Bulma on that page is the same one I'm getting, it doesn't really look as nice as it does in its Play-Asia image. :?

It is not the same Bulma. The Bulma on Play-asia is by Banpresto. I don't doubt these is some influence from the Banpresto sculpts though, since Bandai owns Banpresto if I'm not mistaken... Or did. Anyone know for sure? I wasn't sure exactly how that relationship was effected during Banpresto's last huge business move mid last year.

All the best,
