Wow, thank you!

EDIT: Aw, dang, none of those ship overseas. Thanks, anyway, though!

Madarake ships overseas. Keep in mind about the $5.00 handling fee on top of the product price and shipping. I've order plenty of stuff from their site before and they're very helpful.

EDIT: Now if someone can tell me were I can get this squishy buu toy, that would be grand!

I got all the images I found of Yahoo! Japan, so browse that for these strange items. Rinkya might also help you doing that.

'Bizarre' merchandise?! I mean, I've seen a of DB merchandise in my time, but never anything as blindingly awesome and imaginative as this stuff.

Where do I buy this stuff, particularly the Krillin hat thing, the Freeza mobile phone holder, and the gruesome keychains? Oh, and the 'Goodbye' Tien shirt. Oh, and the Nimbus cushion. Oh, and...

Heck, where do I buy everything?!

I don't mean to be rude, but I highly question the validity of that site.
It didn't take me long to find a bootleg: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-158617.html
The actual figure should look like this: http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/3374/banprnveg.png

It could just be that they accidentally took a picture of a bootleg off the internet. Most of those pictures look like they've been taken from other places.(which is also kinda sketchy)

You weren't being rude at all. I also question the legitimacy of the site when it was first recommenced to me by a friend. Mandarake is large hobby store in Japan (here's a link to their wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarake). I spoke to other collectors who purchased items from the site before and they have never received a bootleg of any kind as far as I know.

But what ever choice you make is up to you. All I can do to help is tell you my own personal experience I had with the site. You can always try ebay, but I never seen the Dragonball MP3 player for anything less than $100! http://cgi.ebay.com/Dragon-Ball-Mega-Ra ... 1c0d2cc002

And can you tell me the difference between those two prince vegeta statues? Other than the image quality?

Here is a quick picture I made explaining some of it.



BTW, when I say "seems cheaper" that is only a first impression and not what I'm using as evidence. It could be the same plastic for all I know. It looks like they made the bootleg figure, which was smaller than the real one, and inserted it into the real package/a replica of the real package. In the real package, the figure is really close to the packaging; while in the bootleg it looks like there is a huge gap between the figure and the packaging.

Thanks for the comparison Khalid, but now this has only made me even more interested in this figure. Did Mandarake grab a bootleg image from the net and actually have the real item in stock ? Or is the site trying to nickle and dime the costumers in buying the fake product? Since I have way too much time on my hands and have long record of buying crap, I'll take the case!

First I'll send an email to the site voicing my "concern" about the item being fake. Depending on what they say, I'll make the purchase. Please don't ask why I'm doing this. Sometime I get really curious about things and I tend to make irrational decisions.

Go for it!
I love these sort of experiments. =D

This may not be merchandise, but it is bizarre.

*snip*

I was dumbfounded by this initially, but the more I looked at the way the walls were the more it looked like a dorm... which actually explains everything. College kids are weird.

And another one!



Oh underoos, how you provide endless fun. Though I think the sad part of this is that if they existed for girls/over 5 year olds I'd probably have bought some <_<

To bad they don't have dragonball Z panties for women. I can only imagine the kind of images they'll print on it (on the inside).

I have an idea what I want on my birthday cake this year.

I admit it, I have that on my wall..

[Bussani]

I'm not sure if this one counts, since it isn't an official Dragon Ball product...but these fakes make me laugh.

What are underoos? Are they just undies for kids that have characters on them?

Also, I totally want those in adult sizes.

More or less.
