I would gladly do it if I could find a cheap scouter (not that I've been actively looking). Or maybe I could look into making a replica myself over the summer, since I've had an itch for arts and crafts type stuff lately.
I'm in the same boat... I really want a scouter, I just can't find a good one.

Actually, I think it would get boring if everyone had the same type of avatar.

I was watching The Big Lebowski one day and just so happened to pause it on the frame where his face was like that.

I was recently re-watching "season four", and thought this shot of young Goku looked pretty cool, so I decided that, for once, I'd use a Dragon Ball avatar. Can't remember the last one I had.

Mine is a re-creation of a particular image of Cell that ended up having a whole website dedicated to it... a long time ago.

That episode was also quoted to be one of the best animated episodes in the series... (I think it came from this forum)

anyways, I like to change mine often. Every couple of days just to get something new and "refreshing". I also like browsing through avatars.
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

Saw the Japanese commercial of Wario Land 3 (which is perhaps my favorite Wario game), and thought this shot was awesome.

Also, finally living up to my namesake!

I really need to buy that game off Amazon sometimes. I've played all the Wario Land games (excluding the one on the Wii) except that one.

EDIT: Sorry, I misread that as Super Mario Land 3, for some reason. I have played Wario Land 3.

Lots of English words get used in Japanese anime for the same reasons you see Japanese or Chinese characters in movies or tv shows in the west - to look cool/different. The Japanese as a general rule see anything that is "foreign" or different as cool.

That is pretty funny though.

I've been re-watching this amazing show in preparation for season 2 and Fluttershy is absolutely adorable in every scene she is ever in so I had to make her my new avatar. The stark contrast between my name and a cute little pony makes me chuckle.

I usually use pictures of myself, but I don't have one I can use that's at least 202x202 (for other forums that require that as a minimum) so, until I take a new picture of me that I want to use as an avatar, Goku from US DBox 1 is my placeholder avatar.

Wanted a new avatar since my Hard Gay one was getting a little old in my view. Checked my pictures folder, found a picture of Goku in all his forms, and voila!!

The character in my avatar would like to challenge the character in your avatar regarding that title.

Saw an awesome picture of Green from the Pokemon Adventures manga, so I decided to use that as my avatar for a while.

I'm in love with Rising Force Online MMORPG (it's kinda dead) so I made my avatar from some artwork of it.
