SBC Great Monkey Baby Vs Jakks Omega Shenron

The SBC isn't particularly rare, it's just old and very large. The Jakks seems to be a short run, and not common, so I would say Omega Shenron.

I still don't understand to this day how Omega Shenron became so rare. I'm going to go out on a limb and think that Jakks Pacific were too lazy to mass produce them? Unless somebody knows the real reason. But Jakks always seemed like a bunch of lazy SOB's that constantly repainted Irwin's figure bodies and may have made one new body of their own but used it for like 6 different figures. LOL, didn't they use the same body for like two Tien figures, Super Saiyan Broly, and both transformations of Bojack? What the eff man?

Well, sticking only to facts, once Jakks DBZ figures were no longer carried at Wal-Mart or Target, and the only place most collectors could find them was Toys R Us, that made things difficult. This happened after Series 15 I remember because Cyborg Frieza was the last I was able to get at my Target, which was the primary place I bought my figures. I basically stopped collecting after that because I had to make a special trip to TRU if I was going to go there. The final time I went there and saw DBZ figures, there were Bojack Unbound figures on the pegs I think, and many of the dbgt figures were in the clearance bin. I remember a lot of Pan in the bin. I don't know if it was the last time I was there, but I remember seeing a few Eis Shenron on the pegs, and I wish I bought them all instead of none lol.

Adrenaline or carnage6 may remember some details.

I believe the SBC Great Monkey Baby is just 8 years older as year 1996 is seen on its foot. Jakks Omega is a year 2004 figure if I'm not mistaken. Anyways, so does it mean that Jakks Omega Shenron's package pales in comparison with SBC Great Monkey Baby?

Thats been the toughest part about collecting the SBCs for me, I only collect the MIB pieces and a lot of times the boxes are less than stellar when they arrive in the mail. I know the figures are old, but when I get the original 1992 releases they all better arrive near perfect. I plan to spend quite a bit on those pieces in particular.

Ya Omega is more rare. Jakks Omega figure was only put out once in one wave. If a store didn't order any of that wave, that was it and they missed their chance. SBC figures were sold in Japan for many years and not just once for one wave. Most SBC figures remained in production longer though GT figures were available less since it wasn't as popular as Z and that particular figure came at the end of the line. The earlier waves are dirt common because they were still selling original wave SBC figures like Goku and Piccolo alongside the GT ones.
