Oh, I see. I'm pretty sure this is the figure you mean.

I'm afraid I misread your previous post. Irwin did infact release the figure but they're not the ones who made it. The figure is actually from a European company (I believe it's French) called AB Groupe. If anyone's to blame it's them.

Yeah, that's it.

I apologize, then, Irwin. However, that figure is still horrid. And the guns... I never understood why DBZ characters came with guns back then....

That's one of the two toys I mentioned earlier, only instead of a chibi Trunks head, it's Krillin's, and the paint for the clothing's the same.

The S - No problem man. I am sure I will still have it in the forseeable future. Just let me know down the line.

The Krillin figure Irwin made, (Series 3 I believe) was an awesome figure. One of my favorites. But yeah, a lot of other Krillin figures were sub-par.

Lmao that Gogeta figure, is just plain terrible! It looks hysterical! Honestly, the ONLY figure that I think was well done was the Broly action figure from the super battle collection? I am not sure if that is the correct name of the collection but anyhow, every other figure that was made to portray a Dragonball character just plain sucked. I don't blame the creators however, it is pretty hard to imitate the facial appearances correctly on such a small figure.

Have you seen the Ultimate Figure Series? They're amazing.

I have the regular Goku and he's just plain awesome.

Wow, the IF Labs selections are very well done. Hmm, and the facial close ups of various characters that appear on the upper left hand corner of the page that displays the facial features on various figures are awesome. I hope DragonBall Z figures, and statues will continue to improve.

Irwin had much better action figures.

I agree, but they are getting better in some cases. Like the teen Gohan in Piccolo's outfit, the SS4 Vegeta, and the Ultimate Figure Series. By the way, does anyone know if the Ultimate Figure Series is orignally from Japan?

They are and they were originally made by Bandai. You can buy them in the US since JAKKS Pacific releases them here. (But I don't think they've released the Freeza and Piccolo figures here which is a damn shame.)

They ARE amazing. I have regular Vegeta, SSJ3 Goku, "Mystic" Gohan, and want Piccolo and Vegetto. I also desperately want them to come out with a Bardock toy.

As far as I know, Bandai doesn't plan on making any new figures after series two. About series two (Freeza and Piccolo) though, I recently found out that JAKKS is releasing them here!

Wow, those ones look really cool. I'm surprised they have so many points of articulation. And those interchangeable hands and heads, and removable extra clothing (like Vegeta's armor); I'm impressed.

Damn...I want those.

Unfortunately, only Piccolo has an interchangeable head. I would have preferred it if they all did, so that I didn't have to rebuy the same figures to get them in SSJ. That way they could have released more figures.

I'd say a luckier boy is me. >_>

I just won the first five Daizenshuu in an auction from a reliable seller for only $9 each. Would have won all seven had these two guys not noticed the sixth and seventh ones and outbid me. :s

Hey, who said it had to be strictly talk about action figures?
