They look pretty good. If I get the chance, I might get some of them, especally SSj4 Goku. Wonder if they'll do SSj4 Gojita?

Freeza and his pod look pretty cool, but it's the Porunga figure that looks pretty damn sweet.
And for some reason, one of the boxes that has SSJ hair on top of it amuses me.

Great new figures indeed, but I thought DBZ started in 1996, in the USA?

2000 in the UK as I remember! The first episode I saw was when Vegeta became an Oozaru.

I'm sure it was earlier than that. '98 / '99 wasn't it?
Where's the beef?

Yeah, I saw it (eventually). I posted when I was still flicking through the pages.

I dont know what sense the 10th anniversary thing makes. Wasnt DBZ's first syndicated brodcast in '96/'97, something like that? Where are they counting from?

Maybe it's been ten years since FUNi licensed all of Dragon Ball. The old DB dub started in 94 or 95 or so, didn't it? That's the only thing feasible I can think of, anyway.
Or, if this 10th anniversary is supposed to start next year (and they're just starting to hype it now), 1995 was when the manga ended in Japan.

Holy crap, I need a job. Then I can get all of those cool-ass figures.

They first 13 episodes of DRAGONBALL premiered in the U.S. in 95 at the oh so convenient time slot of 5 am!
1995-2005 ---> 10th Anniversary!
and that's what they're refering to! ^_^ E.O.D.

I doubt the kids buying these figures even care about the 10th anniversary thing. Stupid Jakks.

It's just a marketing ploy to make them seem more impressive.

From what I recall, in Canada, Dragon Ball aired on Saturday morning around 9.30 to 11 or so. However, I could be way off!
If that is true however, it would mean that YTV gave Dragon Ball far more of a chance, unlike the American stations!
It must have been around 1995 or 1996 when Dragon Ball started airing in Canada. Again, I could be very wrong!
