I wish I'd gotten some of the Irwin toys back when I could find them in stores. I have no cards to use to buy stuff at the Z store.

I do have a foot tall Goku though. http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs9/i/2006/02 ... uquita.jpg

I agree. Since I'm immature and all, I bought SSj3 Gotenks and Super Boo so they could, like, fight to the death, but Super Boo kicked Gotenks' head off! Cheap-ass toys Mad
Wow that must have suck a lot, having your toys' head getting kicked off. I know how it sucks but what can I do about it? Anyway seeing SSJ4 Gogeta whacked up the Gransazers is pretty nice :D.

For years, I have supported Jakks' toys, simply because it was the only legal toy manufacturer for DBZ toys I could purchase from, without having to pay out the nose for import. Even though they repainted and repackaged nearly every figure over and over, and the figures I wanted the most (Burdock & Gokuu 2-pack, anything with Raditz, Giji SS Gokuu, Ginyu as Gokuu) were nearly impossible to find-in stores. But when I got Ma-jin Vegeta from Amazon, I was appalled. The figure is so flimsy and tiny... and he freakin' BELLY DANCES! I thought it was disturbing when Boo did it in the manga, but Vegeta? Christ....

Yea, Jakks sucks at making Dragonball figures. Lets see here...

Ok, so we have "Transexual Goku", "Chibi Elf Vegeta", "Dying of Disease Piccolo", "Playboy SS4 Gojita", "Drivers License Photo Krillin" and "45 Year Old Vegeta"

Once again ignorance reigns supreme...

If you had actually taken the time to read the back of the box, you would realize that the toy is infact made out of some sort of meat by-product.

"Small parts may cause ham if swallowed by children"

We'll assume it's a mixture of pig entrails, Spam, and rat meat, resulting in 62% chance of ham or ham-type substance. Not only is this toy fun to play with, it's also potentially nutritious! I say good job gohanku on picking out an excellent figure, and shame on everybody else for slamming him based on ignorance and prejudice! :wink:

You know, as much heat as Jakks gets, Irwin released the worse DBZ toy ever....

Krillin. With a nose.

Could you please provide some more information on that. A picture would be helpful as well. I've been collecting Dragon Ball toys since they started in the US. I own every Krillin figure released thus far and none of them have a nose.

"Do not give this item to a children who is under the recommended age."

"Read the instruction sheet carefuily"

Great Engrish there. XD

"Avoid rough use such as knocking the product or swinging it around."

..Absolute proof that that is one hell of a cheap ass toy and is one awful bootleg. o_O Telling kids they can't play roughly with their Dragon Ball toys? So bootleg. :(

Blitzen, what is that toy? It looks lite a ceiling fan or something. From the instructions I can't figure out what it's suppossed to do.

By far the best thing I've ever seen :D

Basically it's one of those toys that you hook up to the ceiling that spins around in the air in circles due to what's similar to a fan.

I found that part really hilarious for some reason. XD

Yeah, that Gogeta is indeed a bootleg. It is the body of a Bandai Super Battle Collection SS4 Gogeta with some custom made head.

I still collect a few of the figures Jakks makes. Cyborg Freeza was pretty badass, as was Cell's 2nd form. I used to buy every single figure Irwin made. Now if I buy anything from Jakks line, it has to be a character I don't yet have and a decent sculpt. Otherwise I don't even waste time with thier stuff.

To those looking to complete thier collections, maybe send me a private message or look me up on AIM. I still have a bunch of extra Irwins I bought and kept in the packaging for online trading purposes with other collectors. To the guy looking for the Bardock/Goku 2 pack, he should definately contact me. I still have one new in the package. I bought it for another online friend who ended up finding it himself and didn't need one. Therefore, I've had this one in my trade box in the corner of my room for awhile.

I am most interested in some of the newer French Dragonball Z figures. If you have access to getting those, you can pretty much guarentee that I'll trade you something good for them. Just let me know..

I have a scan of the toy in question, but the nose isn't very evident in the picture. I'll try to see if my piece of crap digital camera can get the nose to show up. It's one of the older ones, the one with hair and built like the SBC figures.

My problem, however, right now with obtaining said figure, is that I'm totally broke -_- Yep, I got let go from my job at the end of December. So, if you still happen to have it when I finally find another source of income, I'll be sure to contact you. Thanks for the offer ^^
