I use firefox. I click on "look inside" and I can open the review. In my opinion, Bran's cover is just suitable for the book. It will look weird if the cover draw in really professional manga style for an English book or it will look boring if the cover is an abstract picture like most of the other books. So I think Bran's cover look just fine. By the way, I write novel for my website sometimes and I draw a lot of pictures for it, which is in chinese so I never give any link here. Right now I'm writing a story about a boy who pursued by police in 19th century of England, so he found a maid job and dress up as a girl. And then he met three prince from different countries and all prince fell for him. The war was broke out to compete for him finally. I always sent the manga I draw to publisher when I was young. Although most of my magna threw away by publisher at last, but I still had a few works that can print on magazine of magna in old days. If you able to put pictures throughout the book and you don't mind the drawing are totally Japan manga style, I can draw you a few free pictures for your book next time.

Just take a walk in MongKok this weekend, where I usually stop by every one to two months. A store that sell only dragonball stuff was just closed, no store worth me to go every few months anymore. I took a few picture for some stores. That's the store I told before selling Abo and Kado. I saw a Kado at bottom. They have the only wcf farmer I can found but the price never drop. Another cabinet, Kado again at bottom? Most of the stores selling diorama things which I'm not interest. A new store for resin figures. A store for hottoys, super high quality figures and the prices are super high too.

Every kid start learning English at kindergarten in this century and the company all over the world only accept resume in English nowadays. There are China and Hong Kong dragonball Forums which is in chinese. People like to read native language, that's why they don't come here. But those Forums don't have customs section, that's why I am here. DBZ was very popular in Hong Kong in old days. Not only dbz shown on tv, almost every japan anime show on tv in old days since there were only a few anime released for every season in last century. All my classmate talk about the news of dbz in school when I was a kid. The picture below is the stickers of a DBZ album I bought more than 25 yrs ago. My dad already thrown my album away but I still have one pack of sticker here. There is a number on back of sticker to match the area you stick on album. Some page of album was designed to like puzzle that you need multiple stickers for one picture. There were seven stickers put randomly in one pack for sell. I remember I only had around half of my album fullfill at last. DBZ's toy is still one of the common toy you can found in every shop here right now. I remember 7-11 tried to sell dbz shodo last year but seem like it didn't sold out. I just walk through a mall nearby and took some pictures. Since TF4 took place in Hong Kong, it's the major promote product everywhere now.

I found that my customs of end of DBZ look sucks so I I tried to put more figures into picture to make it look smaller. No plan for ending version of Krillin and Yamcha yet. At least I want to make old Bee (Buu's dog). Anyway whatever on Adren's list I will try to finish most of it finally. Yeah the Hildegarn was a Marvel 12" Venom, a cheapest choice for this custom. I took picture before: Oh no my thread bring up by replies that everyone will take a look without any updated. I wonder should I make a quick custom but I don't have much time now. So I take some picture for the base I bought for future customs. You can take a guess what's it for. The answer show at the bottom. 1. Gorilla (Other world tournament), may be use Vegeta or Kai's head for the head part. 2. Some kid's toy ring for Caterpy (other world tournament). 3. The submarine released by AB is the one Goku took it enter the base. They took a different one when they left so I need to make it. 4. Man-Wolf on left, Pamputon on right. I don't want to sacrifice the head of Oozaru for man-wolf though I don't collect popy things. May be use the head of dwc Bear Thief instead. 5. Mario's body for the farmer who shoot Raditz. The one on right for Mighty Mask, with the head of a popy. 6. Movie of Curse of the Blood Rubies, will combine upper part of boss rabbit on lower part of buu for the 1st form of King Gurumes, the right one is Raven, nothing for Bongo yet so I didn't start it. 7. Yamcha on left, use whole goku for body or put it's arms and legs on Gohan. Somethings for movie of Lord Slug on right. Gohan for Angila, He-man for Commander Zeeun, the head of Guru with master roshi for Medamatcha.

The Drum made from a Ku Fu Panda. The body of Cymbal came from a Bootleg Ben 10 figure which need to change all arms and legs. I saw a picture of a Turtles figure called Tattoo, will be a much better base for Cymbal.

I don't have Atlas Marron so I have to make one, and one more teen Goten here, all with different size of head that non-scale to each other. One more Cymbal and two King Piccolo, still waiting for PGV's Tambourine to complete Piccolo's family.

Honestly, I don't remember most of the movies from Dragonball. I only search the name for the pictures from google when I make customs. Adren, your Yemma is sure the best and mine is the worst among us, though only two had made here. I still always go back to DBT to look at your list when I need to look up the name of some characters. The list let me know where is the goal. I don't have any new information about the customs of Oldphan. And that's the one who have made Lucifer I talking about. Not new to us. www.flickr.com/photos/gokuvegeta/with/3689615784/I used so many bootleg ufs for customs before like teen Trunks and Goten, Birusu, Mijorin..etc. I didn't take WIP pictures but I still leave two ufs for Namekian warriors. I make a quick one to show how it work: 1. Here are the ufs body I got. All the parts can easily take off. 2. I just found that the head of King piccolo I bought for Namekian warrior is too big, so I used a head of dwc Nail instead, though he look too handsome. I got Namekian arms and shoes for the first warrior. And I have a vest and cape here. Let's make the one wearing vest first. The other one is just the same with wearing cape instead. 3. Work on the joint to make it fit. Sometimes it will be difficult. That's the part you need to overcome it yourself. 4. After painting, Finished.

One more Annin here, an anime character who working under King Yemma. For the DB movie Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle: I found someone made Igor and Ghastel before when I searched pictures for them. www.littlerubberguys.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=21606And I remember a Lucifer was made by the guy who had made customs for the movie of Lord Slug before, so I'm not the first customizer for both three of them.

The Hands of Guldo came from the gloves of a bootleg UFS, which everyone in UFS series got one more pair of hands. You can use whatever you got for the hands or arms of Guldo. Figuarts only a little bit taller than Jakks/Irwin figures, They are all around same scale.. You can buy Figma or Revoltech to customize Bills and Whis if you really want it movable like figuarts, for example use Ace from one piece like Adren and elot, or use the cheaper UFS like me, all you need to do is fixing the length of lower legs then it can be any height for scale. I bought a toy king kong to make Oozaru before I knew there are bootleg Festival oozaru release, which is the same size of Festival oozaru. It's still too small compare to my Vegeta oozaru.

I bought the golden bootleg Oozaru, since there was a gold one shows up in anime, in GT, which I don't remember the story. It's smaller than I expected. It's not the first banpresto bootleg came with the box got toei sticker. The orange stand with a black stick is totally useless for me. May be I can figure out how to get use of it in other way.

My title is change to like others? Honestly, the shape of Boss Rabbit's car is totally wrong, but I can't find a better toy car for it. Non-SS Broly? I think the real work Broly suppose to be a non-ss since its hair didn't turn to yellow yet, though it's too small for scale....I will like to change its body if I have an extra Jakks Broly. Here is an easy Guldo using hg Dodoria that everyone can make it in a few minutes, only need to change the head and hands and then do some simple painting.

Seem like I don't have much time for customs in this year. You should thanks Bran since he bid away both cheap Pan's robot ever sold on ebay, I don't have an extra one to make wheelo until now. I want to give it up after seeing yours. Still, I will make a quick crap in the future, will be something look like Mike from monster Inc I guess, and call it wheelo.
