That's right, oracle fish might get a figure similar to the one Shoko was holding, right?

I'll bet it is the Oracle Fish, I forgot that that was our newest revealed new character for the movie.

What if the Oracle Fish is the God of Creation? :lol:

I kid, I kid, though that seems like an INCREDIBLY Toriyama thing to do. I still honestly think it's Whis.

You have Goku(the hero), Vegeta and Piccolo(the rivals), Krillin(the Best friend), Bulma(female appeal), Goten and Trunks(for the kids) and Buu(the last villian). Not only do they all have a role to play but they also all sum up Dragonball from start to finish. That and they were probably the top most popular characters across all demographics. It sucks that Gohan didn't get a bottle, but come on...it's a KFC happy meal toy.
Piccolo hasn't been the rival in a very long time. They could easily have included Gohan as 'the successor' (to Goku).
Plus, they really didn't need two of Goku, even if he's the main character.

I smiled over the bottles discussion :) SSJ Gohan was more fun one.
It's funny how they included Japanese cameos and promoting it for like global fanbase. I didn't knew these people since reading about them.
Until I saw the video with Oracle Fish actress, I thought I hate Aya Hirano the most, well now I have a successor.

Oh damn, wasn't here for long time and again I return with a Gyaaaah full of hate again.

Kids meals have sure gotten lame.

Well, they were always lame, but this is really lame.

KFC, at least give kids a little figurine or something.

But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Gotta say, I hadn't thought of that, heh. :lol: It could be, but eh...I'm betting more on Whis myself, or a third unseen-so-far party.

I know, no kidding right? Fast food toys were always cheap and crummy looking, but they've only gotten even worse since I was little...which is frankly terrifying.

I've only had KFC once (always been more of a burger fan) but even using the places I used to go to for fast food when I was little, I do remember the toys used to be nicer; nothing fantastic, but still good for a free prize.

It'd be nice if it were possible to buy the entire Weekly Jump original Japanese magazine digitally; that way you wouldn't have to wait for the few pages that have BOG info to be scanned and uploaded online. It's frustrating to know scans of WJ 10 are floating around online, but nobody cares enough to post those 2 or 3 BOG info pages simply because they're not manga. (Or they're not interested in the movie.)

Happy meal toys as a kid in the 90's was awesome though. I miss the Burger King Kid's Club :( . I agree that the happy meal toys for this movie do look lame. They make the Burger King toys from 1999 look good in my opinion.

IMO a drink bottle is better since the kid will get a bit more use out of it as opposed to a plastic toy he/she will probably play with for 5 minutes (if even).

I've gotten plastic cups from Burger King a long time ago, and I've heard that even farther back (before I can remember or was even born) that McDonalds used to give out glass cups with designs on them.

It's because Toei's being so secretive for so long that we've exhausted most of what little they've given us in regards to the movie's plot. T_T
At least, imo.
There's not much to talk about atm. Guest stars and KFC only go so far.

I want a listing for the movie's soundtrack; I want to know what that last mystery-figure is; I want to know what's up with overly-cheerful-Vegeta-toy; I want a new trailer that features battle itself instead of people just leaping into it; and I really wanna know if Goku gets a special power-up to fight Birusu or not.

Does not mean Toei's actually going to reveal any of this before the movie's release is right on top of us though. :(

It would be nice though, and greatly appreciated if new information came sooner than later.


EDIT: Also some wishlist stuff that would be nice to have that OPZ got that we might not necessarily be guaranteed:
-a mini-TV-tie-in special
-one-page updates each week in WJ that have things like rough character sketches along with new screenshots
-an artbook

I still have a Batman plastic cup from Taco Bell .....the one used to promote the 1989 Batman that is (I was 4 when I got it).

Then perhaps it's just me, because I've only ever really cared for the food. :?

Yeah, I heard about that in this YouTube video a while ago. Surprised it took them this long to officially announce it.

I do remember hearing that somewhere; IMAX theaters are so cool. *_*
That's definitely the way I'd want to watch it if I had the chance.
