Yeah but Vegeta can pull off the pink badman shirt!

Of course!
Nothing can top Bad Man.

I wish Vegeta in his Bad Man outfit was playable in one of the video games...

Goku looks kinda like Rocky Balboa, Goten looks too cute for words, Chichi's got a finer ass than usual, Vegeta's brother looks far younger than I was expecting (ain't this like 40 years after Planet Vegeta's destruction?), and Gohan & Videl look awesome. Chu was right, only Gohan could pull off the pink suit and not be insecure about it. My God, I can't wait till FUNi licenses this and ya' know they're gonna wanna do it soon with the live-action movie around the corner. I can only wonder, will Mike spend gazillions of bucks on the infinite amount of DVD releases this thing'll probably get like Dead Zone?

Why would Gohan where a pink suit of all colors?
Oh yeah.

LMFAO….I love it and it is one thing that Son Gohan is not and that is a pimp. That crown goes to Kame-Sen'nin, Mr. Satan or Kuririn for pulling #18. Hell Vegeta should be added for just the fact that he has Bulma on his arm.

The Saiyans are very much like the Klingons and Jem'Hadar.

It actually (kind of) works out: he's tall enough to come off as a short adult and has a very deep voice (the actor for Ichigo in the Japanese version of Bleach). All that's off is the face.

Gangstas wear pink too.
Sorry for straying off topic, so...How about that Dragonball Special, huh?

Well, being the Stallone fan that I am, I just had to make a comparison!

Maybe I missed something, but why doesn't someone who has the sheets. Post them here? I even read previous pages again, but found nothing.

He hasn't said why, but he has been asked that question several times.
Perhaps the reason they are being released to us so slowly is because he is creating them himself!

It's not like we've had confirmation that these designs were used in the special or were even created by Toei or Jump or Toryama! I'm not doubting you
Wasted Wisher, I do believe that these are legitimate, I'm just speculating for the sake of speculating.

Gohan is in his "Mystic" form on the long shot, but not on the close up. It's weird, looks like a mistake.
Videl is ok, though a little too blank for my taste. I hope she still has got some temper.

lol! Nice Avatar as well.
Just a little note, I have mentioned before some of my "un/casual" DBZ friends have bought these orange bricks. As for season six, they still continue buying them up!

Anyone else find it strange how its been almost a month and we have yet to see any actual videoclips and/or screenshots that aren't scanned out of magazines?
I'm not complaining (because I'm ridiculously thankful for what we got; plus the character sheets have appeared) but I have to wonder how tight security is on this tour.

Good point! I'm surprised that there aren't any Japanese fan sites reporting on this huge event (Huge as in new Toriyama stuff).

I'm not too surprised that it's so tight. That and the fact that 99% of the viewers (if not all) are young children are the reason that I'm not surprised that we have no leaked footage. Plus if there were any kids that thought of recording any of it they must have also thought of the fact that there name was recorded.

How did that system work with the invites? Totally lottery?

According to Herms, you had to buy a ShonenJump zin with a ticket form? And then send it in to Jump.

I'm not totally sure, I think you had to mail a letter to Jump. I'm sure
Hujio knows all about it since he almost got one of his friends to aquire one.

No, you just had to send in a regular postcard to Jump, with your name, address, which screening you wanted to attend, age, and school year/occupation. Then they'd select the winners from that. On his blog, Toyble said that it seems children had much more of a chance to be selected than adults.
As for the security, I can vouch that it's pretty tight, or at least it was for the Tokyo screening. At Hibiya Public Hall, they had only one small door open, with all the others barred, and there were chain doors blocking all but one of the sets of stairs. I've been back to Hibiya Public Hall since my failed attempt to get into the Tokyo screening, and the secuirty they have for other events is seems much more lax. For the event they were having when I went back, all the doors were wide open and the chain doors weren't pulled out, so you could get in a lot of different ways (though I'm pretty sure this event was supposed to be free, hence the lack of security). I don't know what it's like at any of the other places, but I'd imagine it's similiar.
