There's a few bootlegs in this collection, to be honest. As for the collection itself, I seriously doubt that I'd ever accumulate that much DB merch. Yeah I know there are a lot of bootlegs. That is because I actually love them. They are funny. I enjoy collecting them. Sometimes Bootlegs are pretty cool. I have a bootleg Medicos Goku that makes some of the real figures look bad.

Pretty incredible collection! Not sure if you're aware; but your Super Battle Collection SS Vegeta is a boot leg. There's a few bootlegs in this collection, to be honest. As for the collection itself, I seriously doubt that I'd ever accumulate that much DB merch.

I honestly wish I knew. But then again, I don't know if I'd want to live that long. By that time, not only are most your friends gone, but their kids are beginning to reach that ripe age and starting to pass away too.
Speaking of which, it's odd really. I believe my Great Grandfather's brother and sister are both still alive as well (and in good health as far as I know), although I think he's the oldest of the siblings. I'm not really sure of how many siblings he had and if any of them are gone. He's not a health nut, but he stays active. He goes for walks and still does work around the house and yard. He doesn't own any pets, but my great-uncle lives with him (his son). His house is also spotless. My Great grandmother (his wife) went in for triple bypass surgery about 12 or so years ago, and never left the hospital. She had a stroke after her surgery and ended up passing away a month or two later. She was quite healthy as well, but she was too old to recover from major surgery. As far as I know, the only health problem my great grandfather has is that his blood pressure is a bit high. He takes pills for it.
Yea, my family has a history of drinking. My grandmother was a heavy drinker and died in her mid-fifties (about fifteen years ago or so), and my mom is no different. Both of them were gorgeous when they were young. The alcohol just made both of them waste away.
Who's the oldest member in your family?

I took two years of French in High School. I'll be damned if I could remember any of it...

I agree, and I would, but my grandmother (Great Grandfather's daughter) is gone. She drank herself to death, unfortunately, and my mom will probably eventually do the same. I might be able to get my great aunt to sit in for my grandmother though (she's my grandma's sister), or have my mom hold a picture of my grandmother.

I'm 27, and it's hard to believe that my Great-Grandfather is still alive. He's about 95 or so and in good health. It's surprising considering that he was in World War II and had his hand blown off by a bomb. They re-attached it. I'm not really sure where he served since he never talks about his time spent in the war.
I'm currently pregnant, so when my daughter is born in a month, she will be his Great-Great Granddaughter. Definitely want pics of those two when she's born.

I love those Creatures figures because of the amazing detail. I was thinking of getting a few myself.

I have so many base Gokus that I'm starting to get sick of it.
You can only release so many before enough is enough and people will simply stop buying. I wouldn't mind a really high quality Super Vegeta statue. The Ichiban Kuji one is ok, but his bodily proportions are completely off.
I think it would be awesome to have a Super Saiyan 3 Goku figure with the quality of the Medicos Super Saiyan Goku.

I'm just wondering if they're going to start doing 3D printing for these figures, or if they already do. All you'd have to do is design them in 3D on a computer and then print them in a 3D printer. It would take the entire sculpting process out of the equation because sculpting them in clay or wax would become an obsolete craft.
It's sad really.

The ZERO Freeza looks a tad bigger, to be honest. I understand he's physically more imposing, but their heads don't seem to be the same size.
Could be just me.

I have Series 6. Pretty sweet. Oolong is my favorite figure in that series due to the panties.

I don't mind it, but his proportions look really off in that figure. His forearms seem ridiculously long.

No offense taken, so don't worry about it We can't all agree on everything, otherwise discussion would be boring and no one would really come here. The MSP is a good figure, and probably the best one of that size on the market, I just enjoy the SCultures 1 of him immensely more because I think it looks a lot more like him and captures his personality better. I was thinking about getting the MSP figure of him because I actually don't own any prize Vegetas. I was looking at this one and the IF labs battle damaged one of him. However, IF labs sculpts were even weirder, but I like the way they did his clothes. I hope the Super Saiyan one coming out of him for Scultures 5 is as good as the one that came out for Scultures 1. I think it would've been nicer if they would've released an Android/Cell Arc version of him for MSP. I'd love a "Super Vegeta" of that size.

The Vegeta looks weird to me. I don't like his facial sculpt because it makes him look too young or soft. I've always pictured him as rough and tough looking.
I want the Super Saiyan Goku, but he's kinda pricey now. One I'm waiting for is a Piccolo, if they come out with him.

I got Freeza as a gift from my husband when we wandered into the local Barnes and Nobel yesterday, and spotted him on a shelf with the regular Figuarts base Goku and Piccolo. That was a surprise. My husband got Freeza for me as a gift, since we hadn't expected to see DBZ Figuarts in a popular American chain store. I was a bit weary about getting Freeza because I wasn't entirely happy with the sculpts on these when I saw it in pics. But after I took the Freeza out, I was surprised at how much I liked it. It was about $35 and can be found on the Barnes and Nobel website. ... I also love everything my husband buys me... except for the Dragon Ball Evolution gag gift he got me several years ago for Christmas.
