Pretty Crazy DBZ Product! Take a Look!

Post by Jerseymilk » Tue Mar 02, 2004 9:45 am

I thought I'd seen some pretty "wicked-crazy" DB products before, but this one's gotta be the champion! :D

Ass, man, those are pretty crazy. They might be all right, except they make a karate chopping sound...? What's a karate chop sound like, a whoosh?

Anyway, you see everyone playing with those Hulk Hands, and DBZ is more popular than the Hulk right now (especially since that movie was such a snoozefest)... These appear to be an older product, I wonder why it didn't take off...

Next you know, they'll come out with DBZ condoms. They have a picture of Trunks in a defensive pose on 'em ^_^

Ooh, I remember it being plugged in the danish manga. They claimed it was the most popular DB toy at the time, but they also claimed that they translated their manga from the japanese original (as well as making up some japanese people who helped translate), when they in fact, are translating the german version. Not too well either, mind you.

Well, if you want to have safe sex, you could do worse than wearing Trunks.

Make them defective. "I hate Trunks! He tricked me into having a baby with him!"

That product is strange and crazy, but I really don't think it's the champion. I would never buy any DBZ crap anyway... maybe video games.

Buying DBZ crap can be fun. The fruit snacks are delicious, especially Cell.

Condoms would be a bit much, though. :oops:

It wouldn't be overly surprising. If you can get a Hello Kitty vibrator, then you can get anything.

Hello Kitty vibrator??? Now you're just making shit up.

Does this made-up device actually have Hello Kitty pictures on it or just words or something? What the- Who the fu- What the hell!

It was 100% official. It was marketed as a "back vibrator". You placed it on your back, and the vibrations, er, soothed you, or something.

If you saw it though, you knew that they weren't fooling anyone with that description. Greg would probably be mroe knowledgable here (er, due to the Japanese location and all. Not because he likes using vibrators. Although he might. I'm not going to judge).

I'll have a look for the web-site that sold it though. They shipped overseas, I seem to recall...

(And they did sell condoms too, although the only one I can remember was a Gundam-inspired one.)

You make a perfectly innocent post, and by the time you get back, the guys have turned it into a conversation about anime sexual devices! :? As to the Gundam condoms, I'll never look at the RX-78 the same way again! :shock:

Oops... wasn't my intention... but at one time Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird were considering Ninja Turtles condoms...

Anyway, the wackiest DB product I know of is the Goku gi thermos-like thingy...

Yes, I've seen that product. It is definitely one of the more strange ones that have ever come out. :?

1. I remember these things they came out when the show came out here in syndication Z(hence why it failed) along with bthe under released bandai toys that camed out at the same time. It always seemed neet but I never saw one in stores.

2. Yes there are hello kitty viu brators - I've seen images before, as this isnt the first time its come up.

EDIT: PH34R the proof:
