I'll bet every single picture will end up being someone's avatar within the next week.
...Bulma what?!

Hah, I dunno if I'll put it up as my icon here anytime soon, but I might end up making an avatar from one of the Goku or Piccolo images. *giggles at the looming Piccolo one*
I know... it's like... GAH! Muten-Roshi might like it though... >___>;

Wow, I have to say that the Roushi and Piccolo calenders kicked the most ass out of any of those. I would totally buy that Roushi one...man. Though the Gokuh calender had it's moments.....

Also, I should change my pants. Surprisingly, its not because of the Bulma pic. (no homo)
My thoughts exactly. I mean, what if you're some random kid that got turned on to the series by their parents or something and ended up getting the bonus set? Then again, it's JP, so I dunno

...
And as for the other calendars, my favorites have gotta be either the Goku, Vegeta, or Roshi ones. The Roshi one just reminds me of how cool he used to be. Also, the pencil drawings for each character are pretty awesome.

Yeah. Gimme some time, though, since I've got more homework than usual this week

.
And finally,
Deus ex Machina, I'm guessing the other calendar that had a group shot on its cover wasn't included in your purchase? Not that you haven't done enough for us already with the pics and all...

Oh, wow, the Roshi one DOES kick ass! I can't believe I didn't look at it earlier... DD: I would definitely get that one as well just for the sheer amazingness of the pictures. Old masters totally pwn. Hahahahah.
And, yeah, the Goku one certainly does have its good pictures. Though, all of the ones I like best in that one don't involve some form of Super Saiyan. I wonder if they could have done better on the SSJ pictures... >.>;;

I pointed out the mistakes on it. Also if you move your head so you're monitor looks dark you can see that theres a bunch of pixels that stick out where her bikini top was on her left breast,(The one i circled) though you have to save the image and zoom in in paint or photoshop to notice. Sorry to ruin your fun Deus.

Aww, you spoiled all my fun Taku. Shame on you.
I figured that anyone who had seen the original picture would be able to tell mine was fake. It was just a quick edit, not an elaborate forgery.

Yeah, I don't have that calender...yet. These costed me a bundle, but if the price on that other one goes down some I'll probably pick that one up too.

Goku number 5 really draws me in for some reason. Maybe its the angle, or its not your usual actiony pose.
What's with the strange lighting on Vegeta 4?
I'd say Piccolo's calender is the most well-rounded of the group.

I know what you mean, some of those Gokuh pics, especially 5 and 12, really make you girl out. I hate that.....
And is it just me or did Gohan get a really, really bad deal here. Those pics are just distasteful.

Nooo!!! That would have sparked so much controversy! And sales! And horny kids.....Anyways, I'm probably gonna get the Vegeta one and the Extra Art one. I'll get them all eventually, but I love the art in those two.
But for now, I'll enjoy my 1993 calender...
..I wish.

You can call me Rick because I'm not actually Piccolo.
I missed out on all of the DB Movie fun, huh?[quote]Point blank: it's gonna suck if you want it to. Personally, I'm seeing it as a comedy.[/quote][/size]

LOL, its obviously not mine. The "I wish" at the bottom kinda shows that. Also, the links are from a Yahoo Japan auction.

Piccolo may be my favorite Dragon Ball character, but I think the images from the Gohan calendar are the best.
