Saw a post on ToplessRobot about surprisingly empressive DBE 12-inch figures. Images from ToysRevil

The word "unnecessary" comes to mind.

Well fuck me, they look REALLY nice.

And I had been expecting some RAH Evolution toys for a while.

It'd be so cool to get the old RAH Goku AND Chatku.

And holy shit, the old Piccolo and Marsticcolo (lol).

That looks like an actual photo of James Marsters' head on the Piccolo figure...! :shock:

I don't know what the Shuckle is going on with that white colouring, though. :?

And for some reason, Chatku doesn't look very much like Chatku.

Perhaps an unfinished prototype?

I was gonna say the same thing...maybe the final product will have him looking gree. Damn though that goku is impressive. Actually the look of both figures are very VERY impressive!
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

These are definitely just the prototypes. It said so on enterbay's site. Enterbay is one of the highest high end companies. There is no way something is going to come colored incorrectly from them. That said, I don't how they were foolish enough to go through and release these. Despite the insane amazingness of these I don't see anyone buying such expensive high end toys of that garbage "movie".

I almost feel bad for enterbay.

Yeah, it's hard to figure out what they're thinking, without knowing the details of their contract. Maybe they don't have a choice?

Maybe they just want the money?

I actually recall there was supposed to be a bunch of live action products that were going to come out, that didn't.


*Distinctly remembers a beaded DB bracelet, a 4 foot toy nyoi-bo, and possibly a db necklace being posted somewhere a loooooooooong time ago*.


Dunno what happened to all those. :?:

No real demand for those items? Or the companies that were to manufacture them backed out, due to the movie's failure at the box office and it's asininely low popularity.
