Yep! You better, because they were out of stock for months before... I was surprised that they came back, so I grabbed it up fast.
I couldn't really afford it, but hey! It's technically clothing, so it's justifiable.

That Gohan happens to be my favorite LoS figure... while the Goku is probably one of my least favorites.
I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

Nice catches! I'd have to say my favourite LoS is Prince Vegeta, in the dx line it's a split between the ssj gohan and ssj trunks. Still very nice setup and I love your mantle/shelf? Dra.
Otaku at heart.

Yeah, the Goku is my least favourite as well... his proportions don't seem as accurate as the others... he doesn't look great with the gang.

Thanks guys! Yea Goku is kind of ruining the whole look of the LoS figures I have going. I want to take him out and put him somewhere else (Maybe the bathroom

), but it would look even weirder if that Goku was missing from the line up.

Hell, the one piece x dragonball crossover ssj goku looks better than the LoS one, lol.

Barely. I just shot it from a good angle. Only reason I got them is because they were pretty cheap. I would have liked if they didn't make Luffy taller than Goku in the same series of figures. Them standing next to eachother looks weird. Or is Luffy actually taller than Goku? Funny thing is that I'm not even a One Piece fan. I read about 100 chapters of the manga and was just like, "meh...". The cool thing is that Goku's symbol on the front and back is the straw-hat pirate symbol. The only gripe I have with it though is that the symbol doesn't look good on his gi as black and white. I wish they had colored it in or something. It sounds like I complain too much, but I really do love these figures!

Any variant of SSJ Goku looks better than LoS. lol. Banpresto usually pays attention to details like that...blargh! :/ I may want that luffy...
Just received my Banpresto SSJ Vegeta vinyl and I really like it. He has a nice dynamic stance and pose and his fingers and facial expression are well sculpted/molded. Good stuff.
My only qualms with it are it is sort of easy to tip over and the box is too large, I'll destroy the box becuase my space is lacking until I can buy more cheap plastic storage compartments.

Otaku at heart.

I really like it a lot! You can see a full list of the line
here.
I have these ones so far:
SSJ Vegetto
GT Chibi Goku
SSJ Vegeta
SSJ Gogeta
SSJ Future Trunks
SSJ4 Vegeta
SSJ4 Goku
My favourites are the Future Trunks and Vegeta, they're surprisingly nice figures and a good size too. The trunks and SSJ4 Goku are about 25 and 30cm tall respectively and the SSJ4 Vegetas' reach is almost 25cm as well! I was going to get the SSJ4 Gogeta (since I love him), but his face looks ... off, so I held off from him, lol.
Oh snap and SSJ4 Vegeta is a personal fav too.

Buy Buy Buy! We're helping Japan's economy one impulse buy at a time... I think?
I just want the SSJ3 Goku, he's actually really cheap you can get it for like 15-20$.

But but but …
I’m saving to go to New York (maybe).
;_______; But they look so good …
NO! I’ll be a good girl and resist. For now.
Clearly, what I need to do is find a sugermommy/daddy to buy me figures.

Neeeheeheeheeheeheehee-he-he *cough, cough*
No, no, I swear I'm just an honest figure collecting Otaku.
Oh yes America supposedly has wonderful deals, you should find them, no matter what. SHOW THEM WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF!!! Kick logic to the curb and spend your hard earned dollars.

Yeah, if my family and I do go there it’ll be my first time going to America. I’ve heard amazing things about it.
The great thing about the dollar is the conversion rate. So, for example $100 is “only” about £60. Which means of course I can splurge more on toys.

Nice Shenlong. I wish there was a new dragon-only series, as a matter of fact.
