[blood]

i was reading the manga while dbz was on air
but damn i hated waiting for a new volume to come out

i still want a Arale figure!

 

[Baneofdemon22]

You sir, are patient! I don't even want to wait for trade, when it comes to comics. I want to wait for the entire run, when it comes to decompressed story telling!

Not that creepy one though! I have enough nightmares!

 

[Big Deano]

Ah, king piccolos henchmen; its funny, you look back on it now and realise Piccolo was never originally designed as "just another alien" as he is now. I mean, how else do you explain him having "children" that bare no resemblance to namekians

 

[Baneofdemon22]

Yeah, it was really cool how you thought he was God, and then later find out he's an alien.

It's crazy how Goku started from such "humble" beginnings. At first he's surpassed by normal humans, then as a kid is able to out an advanced army, then is able to defeat what we thought was God, then find out he's a very weak member of an alien race, who then later defeats the highest class of them, then defeats enemies that make the Saiyans look like nothing, then defeats Freeza a being the supreme gods fear and can casually destroy planets with a miniscule amount of his power, and then-

Comes back to earth and is beaten up by robots built by a human scientist.

..and despite all these accomplishments, he still gets his *** kicked by the God of Destruction.

 

[Baneofdemon22]

I don't think getting beaten up my robots is an accomplishment, unless you're a masochist!

There are a few quality arale figure out by now. There's even one that's chogokin if I remembered correctly.

iIRC, bandai showed off a new Arale doll at SDCC this year

Has everyone here received their "China Version Vegeta" because I ordered mine about 13 days ago and it still hasn't arrived I am getting a bit worried! I can't track the order because I bought it as a guest and I am worried something has happened to it and I want to know if I am alone in this!

 

[crisis]

Well, I was watching that item on ebay until they (ebay staff) sent me a message saying that item was no longer available and they had removed it from all listings. So I guess it was just them cracking down on bootleg merchandise.

But if you don't receive it in the mail, then you can always contact ebay about their Buyer Protection Program. They refund you the cash, but since you bought it as a guest, then I dunno how that will affect your purchase

 

[FSLAR]

Aw crap, I was considering ordering one for to use the body for Trunks once I could secure a legit Vegeta...

 

[mrcateater]

I hope that didn't affect mine as I had already ordered it and it sold out a few days before they began to remove the bootlegs as I too monitored one for a few days after I bought mine just to see what they were being sold for.

 

[Big Deano]

Against my better judgement I decided to order it so I could have Trunks, a black and yellow hair Vegeta to go with Goku, and he arrived today; I am considering reviewing him so people who may not be aware there are fakes know the differences. Oh, and he came missing a blasting hand, so you get what you pay for

From my playing around with him he feels almost identical to the real thing, its the colours you would have to squint to notice; he has a darker blue jumpsuit, the yellow on his armor is more brown, his hair lacks the white tips and his boots have been shaded before the toes were put on. There is also slight paint leakage on his right glove and too of the armor at the neck. Oh, and he is overall shinier.

 

[Baneofdemon22]

Weren't the eyes kind of funky on the serious face? Although, I guess you already have the original so it wouldn't matter. I also thought the original had a darker face. I was comparing the pics that were posted here and was surprised of those you didn't have the original wanted it. Although, I guess you don't have to use that face.

 

[crisis]

SO when Normal Goku is finally released, who's gonna be the first to custom mod it with Scouter Vegeta to create.. Evil Kakkarrotttt!





..or Turles I guess

The eyes on mine were fine, and the smirking face is actually better than the legit one, since it doesnt have the weird tan shading that plagued it and ssj3 Goku, not that I will ever use the head or faces since he is now Trunks

I may repaint his eyes for forward looking versions.

I thought you were going to say custom emblem gi Goku a saiyan armor custom would be good to see too though.

 

[Baneofdemon22]

Oh you didn't like the tan! I don't have it, but I wouldn't want it to have a tan if that's the case. Although, I guess I don't have a choice! Why would you repaint it, I thought it was okay? Also, could a sharpie work, if I wanted to make Trunk's pupils black?

 

[Baneofdemon22]

I really like Turles! I love the scene where he spins Gohan around to force him to look at the moon.

 

[Big Deano]

I was going to repaint the eyes to look forward since I wasnt going to use them otherwise; the smirk and angry faces look to the sides which limit poses, especially the final flash.

I used a sharpie for Trunks eyes, so id say it works, but im not a customiser in any way (shaky hands lol) so dont take what I say as being correct
