Just got my Videl in today (from that random restock/sale HLJ had of her a month or so back). I really like this figure as I think this is the only DX representation of her in this style? I really like it though, good stuff. I think I'll keep her sealed MIB for now as I don't feel like opening her. Still very glad I have it :P.

nice score Raithos, i actually received a custom version of that very figure today, as well as a chi-chi. My bud also threw a random clock and wallet in the box too... the clock is cool but i have no clue what I'm going to do with this wallet, its huge and honestly pretty cheesy in my eyes.
Anyways... My mangart kame sennin seems pretty stoked on the new arrivals though. 8)

For some reason, I think Dragon Ball and Moé should not be mixed together...!!

I got my Mangarts Roshi in the other day, and I totally did the same thing you did in the picture. I put him around all the ladies :D.

Drabaz that's my plan dude. I've got about 7 custom ladies now, plus all the standard issue pichi pichi girls , I plan on devoting a shelf in my display case to just the chicks... And roshi as a centerpiece. The old man deserves some love. :lol:

Haha Even though I've had that planned out for months now, I'll give you some e-credit drabz....
I've gotten all my custom girls from my buddy in japan. The artists who make them put them up on consignment in shops he frequents. They typically range anywhere from 60 to 200 dollars , depending on how valuable a figure is being sacrificed to put a dragonball head on it. Price also depends on how much work they put into it. All the ones I've gotten so far, the heads have been seamlessly integrated to the body's and repainted. Ultra quality work.
The videl above cost me around 90 usd.

I recently bought this:

It was so awesome looking, I just had to hang it up.

Note: I have one more item I bought for this month so when I get it I'll post a picture of the item.

I really like these little keychains, I want to get the rest of the characters at some point.
