Yes, many more in fact. The Goku is from Bandai's (Japan) HG gashapon series, which is one of the most popular series of DragonBall toys in Japan. Over on Dragonballtoys.com, you can see a complete pictorial checklist of the series. I've added every series currently released so far.

For future reference, feel free to check the archive on Dragonballtoys, post a question on the forums, or heck you can even email me if you want to know if an item is authentic or not before you buy it. I'm happy to help!

..You just quoted one of the images that has appeared twice already on the page.

Anyway, I am supremely jealous of those Dragonboxes.

Well, I got it directly from a gashapon machine, but I'll try to find from which collection he's from.

I believe I still have those tiny papers that came along with them.

Well, the Box itself was 40000 yen, so that would be around 435$, plus rikya commissions expenses 20$, plus S&H SAL air mail 120$...575$ total.

The box price was a real bargain, problem was the freaking customs, who charged me an extra 110€=161$.

So total would be 736$ :shock:

But it was worth every penny!

And some new editions to the family finally came in!

Image

Yaaaay gashapon! Not only do I finally have a kame gi Yamcha, I have two ^^ Then a bunch more Piccolos, sweet looking Vegeta and a Mirai Gohan o_o

Closer shot of him- his arm comes off!!

And yes, they're always going to be posed like that because it brings me something resembling joy.

I also got in the last dvd I needed to complete my singles collection, but I want to give that a little more epic of a post instead of just an add-on.

At GameStop about 15 minutes ago, I bought another copy of Super Dragonball Z. Why a second copy, you ask? It was for the case. I am dead serious, I only bought this copy of the game solely for the case. When I originally bought the game a few months ago, it came with a crappy GameStop case. So I'll be selling the copy with the crappy case at GameStop for credit. :wink:
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!
