I must have those DragonBall Creatures.

Are there only those four in the set so far?

And are they planning on releasing more?

EDIT:

Here's a list

Zarbon
Oozaru
Mecha Frieza
Dodoria
Imperfect Cell
Porunga
Shenlong
King Piccolo
Frieza 3rd Form
Frieza 3rd Form Variant

I'm pretty sure these are the 10 released so far.

Well, I just bought the Videl and Saiyaman statue that I linked in my other topic. Gonna wait on the Real Works Videl until my financial aid comes through, though.

I ordered Harukanaru Densetsu today. I figured $11 wasn't a bad price, and this was one of the few US DBZ games I didn't have.

One of the sellers on Amazon has it brand new for 7 bucks (with $3.99 shipping).

Thanks a lot mate.

Why did they release King Piccolo & Frieza 3rd form twice twice?

And are the sp figures just updates, As Frieza looks even more badass now.

The series 5 Piccolo and series 6 Freeza are likely just re-releases. Simply a way of bringing those older figures back into the market for people who missed the previous ones. I'm not 100% sure if they will be identical as series 5 and 6 aren't out yet but they most probably will be. The SP series is again the same figures but enhanced or "special". In this case both Freeza and Cell have slightly different paint schemes.

Hopefully they get to Majin Buu soon. I'm looking forward to their reimagining of him.

I saw a bunch in person at a vendor at Anime Expo.
Indeed... they are amazing!
The Oozaru is particularly amazing!
And that "puking" Piccolo is quite a shock![/img]

Thanks buddy

I couldn't realy see a differance on the Sp Cell, You can easily see the differance in the Frieza though.

I'm hoping for a Majin Buu in his Evil Buu or Super Buu form, a first form Frieza and a Saibaman.

Children, settle down.

Anyway, I have a question. Are action figures usually cheaper at cons than they are online?

I doubt it. I've never been to a con, but I can assume they're like a flea market. Either surprisingly cheap, or horrifically overpriced, the latter being the most common.
