What the... are they just re-branding the Highspec Coloring Figures under the Kai name in Japan, too? :?

EDIT: Oh wait, there are a handful of new figure sculpts for other characters. :P

HA. That site's a major fail.

But, I might just buy that Imperfect Cell Saga Boxset that they have in a couple of months, though. :P

That Goku looks exactly like the one I won in the crane game. Yamcha would be cool to have. So would Ten, but they don't have him.

I wish they had a figure of Choutzu latched on to Nappa's back while he's trying to reach back and grab him. That'd be hilarious.

These look extremely similar in pose and paint scheme to the DBZ Crane Game figures. Scroll down the page to get to the images and compare for yourself.

Especially the normal Goku figure, but I think that's been stated by Innagadadavida already. :P

That is what I was thinking.
I really like the Yamcha, Piccolo, and Raditz. I wish they had a Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu though.

That's because those crane game figures are simply repackaged versions of the Banpresto Highspec Coloring Figures that were sold in Japan.

You've just made me think of how cool it would be if they made a Chiaotzu rucksack...

Anyway, these figures seem very cheap. Are they like gashapon-grade or are they better painted than that? I can't really tell from those HLJ images.

I don't understand why there isn't Tenshinhan and Chiaotzu.
