Soppa Saiyjins from Dorgou Ballru Zetto is my favorite transformation everah, especially when Trounksoru did it in front of Seru and when Bejita did it when he faced Jingonigen-hachigo. But for real, I use the FUNi pronunciation. - Soppa Saia People

I really like the Medicom Goku but it's too expensive. I'll stick to my highly detailed but more affordable DX Trunks :P

Not that I can afford it at the moment, but I'm after one of these... I just can't find them online anymore.

AnimeMaakuo is kind of right about the "too real" thing. Nevertheless, It would make a great centerpiece...in fact, it looks great. The strap is detailed, the jacket, the pants, he's my favorite character in my favorite incarnation and form...oh, wow. He's awesome. And amazing. I think I'm having a figure orgasm...wait, no! I'm being effected by the spell! I must resist! *transforms* No...I can't...I must...get him...no...I...must not...IF I DON'T BUY THAT FIGURE IT WILL BE THE END OF ALL OF US!...but...IF I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY FOR THE SMALL LOS IT WILL BE THE END OF ALL OF US!...so...I can't b...b...buy i...buy it...because...*faints*

Not official releases, but I'm sure that these may be of interest to some of you.

I love those customs, they're so well done.
I see them a lot on Yahoo Japan Auctions, gonna pick up a few at some point.

I just use their (ChiChi, 18, Bulma, ect) names. (In Japanese, naturaly). Of course, it means a bunch of there junk comes up, but eh ...

18 is your favourite, right? I found this:

http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/141714249

There doesn't seem to be too many figures of her at the moment, but it fluctuates, so check daily. There's a lot of customs of her floating about.

EDIT: Oh, wait, that guy is selling a bunch of customs: http://openuser.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp ... iro9560238

Thanks! I actually found that one when I searched, but I didn't see all the others.This one is absolutely bad ass though.

I really like that one too. There's a cool one where she's wearing a red bikini and holding a dragon ball, it's really cute. (Different to the one I linked). Also, there's a sweet figure where she's wearing a white sundress and hat.
Lamenting at the lack of ChiChi customs.

That sounds pretty sweet. I take it there isn't one up for sale now? I did search using her name in Japanese and only found the one you linked earlier. I have a feeling that white sundress one you're talking about is another Haruhi Suzumiya edit...maybe?

No, I couldn't find the ones I was talking about. Perhaps it's a Haruhi edit, but I really wouldn't know as I'm not familiar with the character or any figures of her.

Found some more, this time I searched: ドラゴンボール #18

http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e109797037
http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n91067783
http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h149773695

Still, odd that there’s so few. Oh, well.

Yeah, that 2nd one is definitely a custom and the best out of that batch.

Those figures are so not my thing, lol. For one thing, they're not canon.

Is dat you Saiyavenger?

Honestly, I've been thinking of picking me up some figures myself. But considering I waited too long, most of them are long out of stock! :cry:

Thought I'd ask this here, has anyone bought from Rakuten.com before? I'm just wondering how much shipping will be on a set of 5 Legend on saiyan / Genealogoy figures to the UK? Also if they're boxed because the listing when put through google translator, says

"※ This item is a prize giveaway. Product packaging (box out) because it is not for sale and pain (crushing chest and rubbing) can not respond to other exchanges. As for the initial failure is the thing to us directly from your manufacturer. Please note."
In one auction, also does anyone know the dimensions of a boxed figure roughly?
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 :)
