Alright, is now as good a time as ever to sell off older Irwin/JAKKS Dragonball & DBZ figures? I ask this because it is now quite clear that the design/utility patents of Irwin/JAKKS are expired (or in the process of expiring) with regards to all of their DragonBall & DBZ figure releases from years long past. With all that in mind I am really contemplating the sale of some of my older collection; also, with the hope that Figuarts will start releasing figures from the original DragonBall & DragonBall Z. Any input would be great, thanks. Specifically, I am inquiring about selling my JAKKS King Cold and JAKKS First Form Frieza; as my collection would not look nearly as cool with the absence of both figures.

Are you asking if anyone would buy your collection? Or what King Cold and First Form Frieza cost? I can't tell if you want to keep those two figures and sell the rest or the opposite. If you are looking to sell off some of your figures little by little I collect loose figures and would be interested in what you have available.

If you're asking whether or not this is a good era in time to sell your figures... Then I would say yes. Jakks Pacific prices are astronomical and the prime demographic would be people recapturing their youth. which 90s kids currently are. However you may reconsider. Jakks King Cold is extremely hard to come by even in his native country the USA

Depends on how much you like King Cold. Because you could get $150 for him loose, maybe $200 MIP. However, the older Irwin figures don't have that great of a value, and I honestly don't see Bandai making a Figuarts King Cold any time soon.

Thanks for all of the responses! I brought all of this up in order to gauge the opinions/perspectives of other DragonBall/DBZ collectors. King Cold is one of my favorite figures (as is the 1st Form Frieza) but I have no doubt that Figuarts will release them in the next five years. Kirky, I will be listing the figures on eBay in the next couple of weeks. Doomprevails, thank you for the useful input (and yes, I know how rare King Cold is as it took me nearly 10 years to get a hold of one). Adrenaline, how much do you think I should list the King Cold that is in good used and played w/ condition (as it was previously owned w/ some paint loss on the tips of the horns and some very slight discoloration/rubbing on the side of a leg) and is missing both the cape (I never did get around to making a custom cape w/ gold buttons) and the extra set of interchangeable hands? NOTE - tail is intact and both the tabs are intact on the portion of the tail that feeds into the back of the figure; whereas on the First Form Frieza tail on of the tabs are broken off.

Attachment DeletedI was not having much success at all typing after/before attaching photos (or even uploading photos), & that is why I posted multiple photos of a significant portion of my collection; minus sealed items, pre-orders, older stock not yet unpacked/moves from my other property, and customs/model kits.

In mint condition with cape and hands king cold can bring up to 200 loose. I got mine for 100 nm complete and was extremely satisfied. He wanted 180 when he had it posted on ebay. With no cape...I'd say 100 or 120 is fair but list it and wait and you'll get 150 from a cranky desperate buyer.

Thanks. Oh, that is an unfinished custom Agent Black whose face I have yet to sculpt (with that Games Workshop Green Stuff located next to the left foot of Pirate Robot), and I then need to prime/paint the figure.
