Zephyr wrote:And that's to say nothing of how pretty much impossible it is to capture what made the original run of the series so great. I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

In the newer pieces of art, there is a trend in posing that I don't like. For some reason, the art directors love to put DBZ characters posed into what I like to call "69 fighting." Usually Character A is punching Character B, while Character B is kicking Character A. All the while they're staring longingly into one anothers' eyes. Most of the time the characters are so stiff. They don't look like they're fighting.
It's awkward looking and vaguely homoerotic.

I know there are more examples but I can't remember where I saw them.
But other than a few awkward poses, I really dig the style. But I don't necessarily dislike any of
Toriyama's styles though. I think they all look good in their own way. I don't like the "triangle" style of some episodes in the anime.

Someone over on Amazon.co.uk has the "
Cooler's Revenge/Return of Cooler" double feature for sale. It's being sold by a company called "
moviemars-usa". I think quite a few people want this DVD and I'm not sure how many they have. So if someone really wants it, they might want to grab it now!

I've bought from him before. I was going to get the Blu-rays when he put them on play.com (£6 for Broly's triple, £6.50 for Cooler's double), but they're region locked. I want this now, but I know soon enough people will list it on eBay as soon as the DragonBox Movies gets announced.
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force
If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure
If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me

I'm glad someone finally put it up for sale.
How much was it going for on Play.com?

Yup, it was like 60 pound on amazon. Some retarded sellers put up for that much.
Erm, I think around 15 pounds in the end.
Glad I got it though!

I was looking through the dvd's in Rite Aid, and I saw an old Uncut Android Saga Dvd for $3.99. I have about a half a dozen dvd singles that I have picked out of bargain bins. I don't need them because I own the dragon boxes but there more of a novelty, since I always wanted all of the dvd's as a kid but had to pick certain ones.
I wanted a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one.

I didn't actually compare but... all the items were pretty cheap in my opinion. That huge Trunks figure was only 980 yen!

Continuing my Dragon Ball buying binge, I bought several HSCF figures on Angolz. Specifically, Nail, 2nd form Freeza, 3rd form Freeza, and Super Saiyan Goku.
BTW, not my image, just borrowed it.
