Mike's Upcoming JPNS Toy Releases Thread

[Drabaz]

How long ago did that Goku in the luffy outfit come out?

According to this link... Nov 2008

Think I can still find that?

Ebay.com is your friend

So is Toywiz.com! I found it there cheaper than on most ebay auctions. $15.99 plus $5.99 shipping. It's up to you if you think it's worth it.

My Salza would go great with that Dore and Neiz. Is that set out yet?

Same, especially since I already have Coola and Ginew Tokusentai. That set has been out and apparently gone. It seems to be incredibly rare nowadays. My usual "dealer" can't find them anywhere and says if he finds them, it's gonna be expensive.

Damn. I went to a toy store that sells anime figures yesterday to see if they had that set and turns out they didn't.

Told ya :\

You guys aren't going to find the EX Trading series gashapon easily. For some reason they ended up really rare, in fact I still need them myself.

Anyways, just wanted to pop in here and showcase the next series in Bandai's DG gashapon line. Digital Grade series 01 is just hitting now, and it looks like Bandai will be continuing these ultra detailed gashapon as series 2 has just been announced:



Pretty weird character selection in this series. I can kind of understand the obligatory Goku and Vegeta, but we already have a Cell in a very similar pose in the HG line and I really don't think Android 19 is in need of a second figure either. The human Android 13 isn't so bad since they haven't made a figure of him in the HG line but was it really necessary to make him in this hyper detailed series as opposed to just a regular HG release? I have to assume most collectors will be mixing these in their HG gashapon displays so it is a little weird.

(And yes I know I fallen extremely far behind in keeping this thread updated and that there have been a TON of other figures announced recently. I'd love to keep this current but it's going to be a while before I have enough time to devote to this project again. *sigh*)

Loving that Android 13, everyone else is okay.

I agree that 13 is the best (LOVE IT!!!) but everyone else looks incredible too. It's just that 13 stands out because he's so often overlooked.

Is there any place on the internet to document or listing all the toys from Gacha Gacha vending machines in Japan? Also when I'm searching for Gacha Gacha, 95% of results are about some anime series.

Is it wrong that the figure of Goku in Luffy's costume is turning me on?

No. It's turning me on, too.

Really? I thought you were only in to sheep.



Jokes, Jokes.

Racial comment fail

EDIT: How is 17 young??

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

Racial comment fail

How is that a fail? I was just joking.

[rereboy]

EDIT: How is 17 young??

Trust me... 17 years old is very young.

[Silver Sinspawn]

Well, it's a fail because... Hmm. It wasn't funny. That's why.

Wow. If 17 is young, what's 15?

[Brad Redfield]

wow. if 17 is young, what's 15?

Two years younger than 17, of course.

[Silver Sinspawn]

But we're DB fans, and that is logic. how often do DB and logic meet eachother?

[DNA]

That #13 is going to look so good in my collection! :D All I'll be missing is #14, #15 and Super #17. Yay!

My main collection groups are Freeza Army, Jinzoningen, Saiyans and Z-Warriors. Unfortunately there's huge gaps in all of those... Example, there's no King Cold figure, there's not a decent Dodoria or Zarbon (without the Dragon Balls); there's no Tullece, anyone from Bardock's Team, Paragus, Broli (non-transformed), King Vegeta, Prince Vegeta; there's no decent Trunks and Goten, Videl, Adult Gohan, Buu, Uub to go with the Z-Warriors "pose". Instead we get more Vegeta's and Goku's and Cell's and Freeza's.... :/

[Silver Sinspawn]

Well that's not so bad; I only have a Piccolo, a mini piccolo, a Dabura, two mini Popos, a mini Tullece, and a mini Bardock.

EDIT: And I have a feeling all but the Dabura are bootlegs.

[rereboy]

wow. if 17 is young, what's 15?

Even younger.

[Silver Sinspawn]

Well, how old are all you guys?

[Piccolo Daimaoh]

Well, how old are all you guys?

Coincidentally I actually am 17.

[rereboy]

24. (And I consider myself still very young. I still have much to learn, professionally and personally)
