Bootleg toys! :D

Post by bkev » Wed Oct 08, 2008 7:18 pm

Hey guys, was browing through a site that gave me lotsa memories. Thought you might wanna see the best of Dragoonball! here

One preview for ya: Image
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

"A dragoon is a soldier intended primarily to fight on foot but trained also in horse riding and cavalry combat"

Weirdest spinoff of DBZ? I think so. :P

Ugly is the best word to describe those figures.

Occasionally. This is web archive material; the original site has been shut down for years.

I used to look at this site years ago. Shame all that's left is an archive of it. Thank you, though. <3

ETA: This one time I seen some DBZ bootlegs at the dollar store. I think they were like those ones where you fit the small figure into the large (rubber?) figure that I used to see at WalMart. I thought it was pretty hilarious though and I almost bought one.

Was I the only one who chuckled a bit when he commented that the SSJ3 Goku figure didn't have the eyebrows colored?

The limit is 80x80.

I'm running my desktop at 1920x1440 and your avatar still stretches out the user column.

Thats another reason I love this forum, restricted avatar size, and no image signatures.

I have a toy that looks like this one, but I think it was from the Ultimate Battle collection or whatever it's called. Can someone explain that to me?

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the link in the first post - I've never seen that site before, and it really is a great resource for these figures, albeit quite out of date. My site also has a section on bootleg DB figures, but there is still a few hundred imaged for that section I have yet to upload... You can see it here if you like:

http://www.supersaiyantoys.com/bootlegs.html

I actively collect these figures, and many of them are truly fascinating... Some of the coolest, newer bootleg/unlicensed DB figures to have come out are the Mexican Dragonball AF figures... Here is an example of the one I have:

All the best,
