Agreed. Is he being released? Is he already out? Which company made him? How much is he? Et cetera.

People have a hard on for Dragon BallxOne Piece merchandise, don't they?
A Dragon Ball/Urusei Yatsura crossover would be awesome.
Having Toshio Furukawa balance between Piccolo and Ataru would be hilarious.

Oh is that what that is? I've seen a character who uses 3 swords, one in his mouth, popping up in various media, even before One Piece existed. Tenchu is such an example. I still don't know what it is based on, but using a sword in your mouth sounds... impractical, to say the least.

'Pirate Hunter' Roronoa Zoro, the First Mate of the Straw Hat Pirates, disagrees. :p With his 'three sword style' he has quickly earned himself the respect of even the greatest swordsman in the world of One Piece.


Not entirely sure why Vegeta has his three blades, though. Zoro and Piccolo are typically paired up for this sort of thing. :?

At this point, I really don't know.
Like Kunzait_83, I too am getting a bit tired of the DB/OP pairing.
No offense to OP fans, it just gets old after awhile. :P

Why the hell would the Prince of Saiyans need to use swords? He can blow up planets, for god's sake. :wink:

I'd say Trunks can blow up planets as well, but he has a sword. I think it looks cool anyway. Plus, Vegeta looks menacing enough without a sword.

How is this Vegeta/Zoro figure "upcoming" in any way? These are from 2008!

Dunno what it is about that line of figures, but they always come out looking really badass.
I mean just look at that stern expression of Gohan's face. He's gonna mirk your fuckin' ass.

They all are, Cell should be the tallest, then #19, then #20 and then Gohan. There they look pretty much the same size, only slightly shorter than one another.

I know, but his proportions are all out of whack. Just look at his head!

I dunno, I'd say he looks a little... Imperfect? :D *shot*

But really, it looks amazing.

HSCF Kai Series 6 (Cell, #19, etc.) is now available on Angolz, in case anyone is wondering where a cheap place to buy them is.

I have that set and the Dr. Gero is actually not very good, he is really off scale, like really.

The new Kai HSCF's are not in proportion with each other. It's very bizarre. The Third form Freeza from the same line is equally small and off model. Also the Kai HSCF's normally come in two pieces and are made of a soft material, while the Z ones were solid one piece figures made of a hard plastic.
