Yes. Real men wear pink.
Also, Tao beat Vegeta to the punch with the bad ass pink shirt shtick.

<Kaboom> I'm just glad that he now sounds more like Invader Zim than Rita Repulsa
<Xyex> Original Freeza never sounded like a chick to me.
<Kaboom> Neither does Rita
<Xyex> Good point.

I think Tom Dubois of "The Boondocks" said it best for me when FUNimation announced the release of the domestic Dragonbox, after buying all of the Season Sets: "MOTHERFUCK!!! SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT, PRICKS, SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIIIIIIIT!"

That Gohan looks fantastic! Those Jojo figures are also amazing. Also of note are the Lupin and Ayanami Rei. The only bizarre figures must be the Mickey and Goofy ones. :\

I know that DBZ x One Piece figures are a dime a dozen and is not consider Bizarre but more of a money making opportunity for companies like Banpresto, Toei, Dulex Figures, etc. But this mini figure just tickles my funny bone:
It's Trunks' serious face and Brook's expression that kills me. I never saw a figure that actually made me laugh. I can just hear Brook laughing as he pops up from behind Trunks.
"YO-HO-HO-HO-HO!"
Probably not the most bizarre item we saw on this thread but it's certainly is for me.

I definitely remember seeing a Piccolo plush in that same style. In a crane game, somewhere.

A snippet of a picture of my plushies, to show the official Dragonball ones.
There's the Piccolo of which you speak, with my UFO catchers on either side. Speaking of bizarre, the Bulma isn't wearing any panties.
And I hope they keep making those villains plushies.... a Daimaou in that style would be beyond adorable

I think they're saying that Bulma can't ever keep them on, Goku or no Goku.

I know it was a page back, but when I saw this product I just had to put it it.

Just the dramatic lines on the add image makes it for me. It looks like you go through the whole Sayiajin fight.

DBZ board game, cool!
I don't think there have been much board games made. Was there ever a DBZ Monopoly?

What is this? I don't even...
Dude, didn't you see the fingers?
Those figures remind me of one of William Birkin's forms in Resident Evil 2.

The Brolly about to kill SSJ3 Goku figure is EFFIN' EPIC!
Nice thread overall. That's why I love Japan so much - they seem so strange to us and yet that's their definition of normal.
I came across lots of stuff I'd like to buy here, too bad financial opportunities won't strike soon.

And hey, can anybody find some DBZ beach blankets? I'd love to get one for this summer.

We had them in the Netherlands too.
When it first came out you started out with a chess board and cardboard pieces.
Then you had a monthly sort of magazine which was a kind of instruction book with the rules of chess and 1 chess piece.

Ugh yeah, I remember boycotting the chess game because I thought DBZ and chess together was such a dumb concept.
But then again, figures. That's my only regret. XD
