So that's 4 volumes, and Viz's volume 16 already has an extre 3 chapters. Wow. Though I almost wish they'd thrown in volume 12, so that it'd be all of both the Daimao and 23rd TB arcs in a single volume. That'd just be the coolest thing ever.

The only thing that sucks about the VizBig releases (besides, arguably, the weight of each individual volume) is that the spine art sucks.

I would of gotten the first VizBig volume of Dragonball from Borders yesterday, but I bought Volumes 15-17 of Z instead. Oh well. I'm happy with my Manga! :D
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Karin is inside his tower in the above picture, so he's there, but just hard to see. I'll bring everyone down to the Tenkaichi Budoukai ring so they're all easy to see:

Battle royale between Kamesennin, Krillin, and....Karin?

Something I forgot to mention about the Panorama World set that makes it infinitely more awesome....the pieces can also be folded up into a Dragonball. I haven't tried it, since I wanted to display all of the figures, but click here to see a link to an eBay auction that shows the folded up version.

It'd brake your arms if you read it to the end. But still pretty cool!

I was looking at getting these two figures but it didn't work out... and you can tell why.

Got Dragonball volume 1 from Forbidden Planet yesterday, they seem to have almost the entire Manga there but for £6 it's going to take me some time to get them all sadly. :(

Hum, it doesn't say it's a custom. I thought I had seen it somewhere before. But at $50+ I'm not buying it, and the other fig at $80+ fuck that.

EDIT: Found a boxed pic of the figure.

Bought 42 volumes of Dragon Ball and 28 of Saint Seiya original Japanese manga for 3200 Kč (cca. 180 dollars) at Japashop.

Will send some photo after remove it all from box. It was heavy as hell, because I don't have car yet, so I transported it from one side of the city to another with help of subway in huge box....

Well I guess he isn't a custom o_O That's kinda cooler because you'll be able to find him again at some point. I never thought there would be that many toys of Bardock.
