I got this super awesome DBZ shirt (with the most random mix of characters, EVER!) at the Mall today and my second green brick arrived from Amazon today!

I got Arrival for only $4 used and the case and disc are in perfect condition. I'm surprised it was only $4.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

Went to the department store today to buy some winter socks but I left with something so much more.

Image

A Bandai "Power Booster Piccolo." It was exactly $7, which wasn't bad considering how much it normally goes for (some where around $12-$20 online). I'm a picky buyer when it comes to action figures and other collectible toys, which is why I didn't buy the rest Z characters from this "Ultimate" series. Goku and Vegeta didn't look half bad but in my judgmental eyes they were shit and not worth the $7 each. I know that's cheap and it wouldn't have put a dent in my wallet but like I said, I'm picky.

I would've loved to take some pictures of the figure in action and write a review for it on Dragonballtoys.com forum but I've been waiting moderation queue for months! I've sent a email to the mod to find out how long approval usual takes but with no such luck. Maybe someone around here warned the DBtoy members about my foul mouth and dark sense of humor. Oh well.

Here's my review in a nutshell: Great figure, cool regenerate arm action, disappointed with the lack of poseability (for example the head and leg does not move), heavier than I thought which is a good thing, excellent sculpt, looks great next to my absurd Japanese naked figures.

Thanks to the user, ultimateemail5000, I am now a proud owner of the Saga of Goku (Madman) version which never saw an American release, thus finishing my DragonBall collection!

I might be asking to much here, but is it possible for you to make a high-res scan of the cover? That would be awesome.

For all of them? That's not bad considering the quality. Just wondering since I won three of them and they're at my house. Looks like I'll keep them.

Yes $38.99 for all 8. I consider it to be a great deal as these are in fact some of the best DBZ figures out there.
