Is it the official Super Big Banpresto? Or bootleg? Because I own all the original three of them, so I'm curious. Well, but if this is original, it looks like hell. Same body sculpt like regular Goku, only having hair painted in magenta.
I think it's more then likely, a bootleg, the colour of his hair is off and those eyes man.
Here's the original listing:

I don't know if this counts as "toy" but I've come across a couple of images of what seem to be bootlegs CDs with music from DBZ and Pokémon.
It's not only the pictures that make them horribly funny, but the texts. "Dragon Bol Zeta" and "Poquemon" is how a Spanish speaker who was completely isolated from society and had never heard the proper names would transcribe them, according to how they sound.
Just... see for yourselves.
EDIT: I suppose that the images come from different countries... the price difference is too blatant

A microphone. Following Battle of Gods, Vegeta realized that he actually
liked performing, and since Bulma was always complaining that he never works, he decided to launch a singing career.
I know I've posted the following image on the forum before, but it's just too weird not to share again:
Little kewpie dolls altered to resemble Dragon Ball characters? All right, then. Picked these up at a little shop in Japan that had them for a bunch of different series.

That Piccolo looks way too girly and the Master Roshi isn't too bad... Imagine Piccolo as a Girly Fashionista and not killing Goku and instead putting on makeup which is exactly what that resembles.KING Piccolo is Mad!
Note: Somebody make this into a fan fic

That is the best thing I've seen a long time!
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

Gohan's a toy and the others too, it's all subjective since some call it a figure and others a toy or even a doll.

Somehow I find it amusing that they couldn't even get the katakana right. "Doranbooru".

I think that toy came out in 2003 or 2004. I remember it being a cool toy since it remind me of the Star Wars Micro Machines playsets and Godzilla Trendmasters playsets. I remember seeing one at my local Wal-Mart ages ago for like $20 or $30 at the time.
