The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128

Hey guys, I'm considering getting one of those sh figuarts; how easy is it to swap parts on and off of them?

Easy enough that if you don't force anything, it stays fine.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

:lol: well played!!

Inside is carrot cake for Kakarrot (or Kakarot). It's funny I went to New Zealand and am a mega LOTR fan so some of the guests were like "no that's not dragon ball whatever that's from LOTR, he loves LOTR" :lol:

When I took the pic my phone kept just focusing on the TV and made the room super dark so I tried my hand at brightening it and failed lol
But it's one of the Funimation singles.
If you notice the silver signatures I have on Goku's leg (Nozawa) and Schemmel (left Goku's body) don't photograph well either, but in person they're prominent.

In terms of 4:3 DBZ I have:
dbox 1
stuck with orange bricks for "season 2"
Then from "Ginyu Assault" till end of series I have the funimation singles

On the TV is disc 1 from the Garlic Jr. arc. (Yeah I'm willingly rewatching Garlic Jr. lol)

LOTR with a Car and road, and goku and chi-chi? (Thinks how awesome that would be) :thumbup: , but seriously what books and movies were they reading/watching? Kinda understand them confusing the garage for a hobbit hole though... kinda. :lol:

My collection is still in development so it's not complete yet but here's what it looks like!
Image
Ignore the Cowboy Bebop on the right :lol: After I'm done with the season Blu-rays I'm going to finish my movie collection, then after that I'll finish my Viz Big Z manga and that'll be it (until Buu Kai comes out, then another movie, then probably a reboot of the series... This collection will never end :lol: )

Hm? My sister got it for me. It's a 1989 Shonen Jump copy. It says so on the back. She said it came from Japan. That's all I know.

Really neat collection. I like it! Wish mine was that clean, my stuff is all over the place. I don't own a consistent or complete set of anything.

Super jealous of that Z Kai "Complete" Collection Blu-Ray set. Hopefully Madman re-releases it once the Buu Arc is out here.
