They look all really nice, as you mentioned, could you take a close up pic of Gogeta SSJ4 and Cell?
By the way, do you only have figures?

There is a very important reason I didn't get the hscf series and it is because of the "holding hands" effect. the series only has 5 poses(one main one) and their different forms were not very impressive. I cringed when I finally saw the Cell SCulture and it was the dreaded effect
could have been

would have been optimal..
or

and I LOVE *EDIT*that* Megahouse Goku Freeza

yeah man your so right, I also hate the poses on the HSCF line, almost everyone has the same, in this sense, the Real Works is better, they have more diversity. They are still cool.
And yes, for the sCultures one that pose would have been AMAZING on Cell.

Bought a second case for my figures.

^Smaller version of the first one.

I have a Dragon Ball collection of sorts which can be seen here.

HOLY CRAP! I remember finding that clock in some little Asian tinker shop when I was like 12 or something. There was a Sailor Moon one too.
And as for the figures with snap-on clothing, those used to be freaking awesome.

Well I'm not with my stuff to take pictures, but I'll give a list, and take pictures once I find my collection satisfactory.
I have:
All 42 Viz tankobons
All 5 Blue bricks
All 7 Funimation Z Dragon Boxes
The first 3 Kanzenbans
DBKai parts 1-4
3 posters
A Field of View album with Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku on it (getting flimsy at this point)
A T-shirt featuring a picture of a flying log and the words "Tao Pai Pai Airlines"
What I'd like to have:
The 34 Kanzenbans (I may replace my tankobons with Kanzenbans and Viz Bigs)
Funimation Dragon Boxes other than Z (if released) (I would replace my blue bricks)
The Daizenshuu's
DBKai season sets
A good set of OSTs
The Journey to the West
A set of good quality crystal dragon balls
A mug I once saw that had the Kanji for "turtle" on it
If Funimation ever actually finish the Blu Ray sets I think I might rather have those than my DBoxes, but only if they actually release everything, not just Z. The Dragon Boxes just feel more collectable and precious though, so I think ideally, if Funi did everything I wanted them to and I had loads of money, I'd have a full set of blu-rays and the Japanese Dragon Boxes for pure collectibility.

takezor, the vegeta in your very first picture. What is the make of that figure?
Its an excellent figure, and i love your collection. I've been looking for an accurate Vegeta, but the best ones are always expensive.
Tell me about it, THANKS!

I think the SCulture looks better but if you want that one it usually pops up for very cheap. Both figures do.

I finally own the Trunks and Bardock specials, which I consider canon (of course) and anime canon. Also my second Dragon Box 3, which replaced my old "new" DBox 3 that arrived with the inner plastic disc tray cracked a bit.

I wish I did have a photo, but I already sold it.
It really wasn't that bad though. The discs were all in perfect condition, and they more or less stayed in place if you handled the box carefully. I noticed a light dent at the top of the box, and since the cracked plastic was at the top, something must've happened during shipping that damaged it.
It was still very annoying that it arrived like that when I bought it new, and as cheap as the new Dragon Box 3's were with there recent re-stocking at Walmart.com, I couldn't resist picking up another new one and selling my used one.

If you want to pickup a new Dragon Box 3, buy it here. I got lucky when a member here posted this link the same day I planned on buying one for $56 on Amazon.

Hello Lettuce, thank you for the compliments

My collection is growing non-stop. I just got Vegeta and Dr Gero from sCultures now.
Beji already named it. This Vegeta and the Goku SSJ that is next to him are Wild Style from Banpresto. Also if you should have to get one Vegeta, I would definitely go for the sCultures one.
My last purchases (including the Vegeta I told you).

EDIT fixed it because I felt like the picture was bad.
