I don't know WHAT it is, but DBZ MAN seems to have the same kind of toy thingy too.

Sounds like a Mego doll.

The only 'obscure DBZ related things I own are a Base Form silver Goku figure (He's entirely metal!), and a SSJ Goku from Burger King in his form during his fight with Freeza (ripped shirt and all). There's a button on his back that causes his hair to glow red. O_O

They come with Pogs! That's so awesome.
I have a metal Gokuu slammer from back when Pogs were cool. The rarest piece I have is my new copy of Idainaru Son Gokuu Densetsu for PC Engine.
Oh! At a local hole-in-the-wall Japanese restaurant I bought a pair of Dragon Ball chopsticks for kids, complete with case!

I have those same figures, although the packaging and pseudo-POGs look different (mine are as thin as a piece of paper... don't know about yours, Simmons-sama).
Notice the Super Saiyan 4 Son Gohan? ^_^
Battle High 2, starring Kyle Hebert as well as myself, has been released on Xbox 360, OUYA, PC, Linux, Mac, and Xbox One!

Oh my god, I picked up some of those from the $1 store here years ago. Though one of them came with an SSJ Vegetto that was actually painted correctly.
Well as for my collection...the most obscure things I own are:
- Volumes zero, one, and twenty five of the Super Battle Collection Bandai figures back before figures were availible in the US. Ordered 'em out of one of the stores advertised in one of my old EGM's.
- All seven of the DBZ Burger King toys along with the free Z Warriors Prepare tape they sent me for collecting all of them.
- Twenty-something Irwin figures (Including the US releases of volumes two to ten of the SBC)
- And the seventh Daizenshuu which I got along with DBZ: Never Ending Story cd-set, 18 1/2 special CD and Movie eleven's score for free.

I just remembered I also have a DBZ-themed birthday party set. It's still all wrapped up too. It's got everything from napkins to paper plates to noise makers with Goku and various other characters on them.

I completely forgot I had that.

The only thing I can think of is my much beloved Bandai poseable Gokuh that is about a foot in height which my older sister recieved on her 9th? birthday, but I wrested from her after much pestering. It is probably to date the finest DB figure I have and I've had trouble finding anything of the same type. I'm unsure of how my parents got a hold of it in the first place. Only problem is, his boots and hands come off so my little sister likes to steal them and hide them when she's mad so he can't stand properly.

Wow where do I start? I have the Dragon Ball Z VRVS and Dragon Ball Z 2 arcade boards. To many figures to count! English, Japanese, Chinese, and French manga's. The Playdia video game system with both games. Over 18 years of collecting.

The rarest pieces in my collection? Probably the following:
-Original 1997 USA release version of Dragonball GT Final Bout for the Playstation in Mint condition.
-Super Battle Collection Oozaru Baby Vegeta (I didn't think so until recently, but it seems this guy is very rare these days.)
-Super Battle Collection Super Saiyan Goku, Vegeta Trunks figures from the Movie 7 3-pack. (I got them loose but mint off ebay for around $65 a few years back. No box, but still a rare set of 3.)
-Irwin Series 1 Master Roshi with the Orange Jacket (Instead of the more common Black jacket variant)
-Irwin Series 5 Super Saiyan Vegeta with Gold Hair (A difficult to find EB Game Exclusive)
Some of my other stuff is probably pretty rare these days too. I've just had it so long I probably don't realize the rarity of it I guess..

Why is it sad? I think it's pretty neat actually.

That reminds me, I know a guy on dA that said he has a complete copy of Final Bout. He didn't even know it was rare.

I got a kick out of it myself. I think I left a comment about it.

I own the Yamcha figure from a DragonballZ action figure puzzle set. Each action figure comes with it's own removeable stand, wich are pieces of a puzzle. If you have all of them, then you can connect the stands together into a square shaped display of all of the figures. I don't know if the whole set is originally sold as one, but I bought the Yamcha individually at an anime shop. It's actually a very nice figure. I also have some Dragonball mini figures, wich I found at a quarter machine at Best Buy for 50 cents each. It was an unusual place to find them, but there were also some obscure characters in the assortment. There was am Oolong as well as a Kuririn in his original uniform from the Orin temple. I also own a DragonballZ finger bike.

Yeah, that's it. It's cool that it has all of the Z warriors and you can switch the normal Goku and Vegeta with the Super Saiyan ones. Great for display. a lot of the others look cool too. It doesn't really show it in the picture, but I think the Yamcha has a great expression on his face as well as an awsome pose.
