This has got to be the single greatest collection I've ever seen.

^ I'm waiting on Volume 33 to arrive in the mail right now! Super excited to get it. Volume 34 was my first SBC, ever. I bought it almost ten years ago now..

If Dragon Ball starts back up with regularly released new material then I don't see why not. If they release new movies every year or two or go as far as to release a new series.. we might just see a renaissance of the franchise and thusly new figures. I'd be pretty excited, but my wallet would be hurting. Hahaha.

I don't have any issues with those existing. I just don't want them in my house. I don't need people thinking that I'm a pervert (which I may or may not be ) I don't mind them existing either, I just don't personally like them. It's like dishonoring the character by portraying them in a way they never were. That and they're mildly perverted.

That's nothing I'd be interested in owning a figure of, though I never found it offensive in the series. I'm talking about figures like this: (maybe NSFW) worthopedia.s3.amazonaws.com/images/thumbnails2/1/0410/16/1_183ff6e4cbbc310154cd7ba071569b46.jpgBulma's chest is greatly exaggerated and a little absurd. I liked Bulma before someone decided to make a stature/figure of her with exaggerated sexual features, something like that doesn't sell me the figure. The fact that it's a Bulma figure would sell itself, as far as I go, anyway.

Will we ever get DBZ figures in the vein of Jakks and Irwin again? That's hard to say. We'd have to see DBZ regain the momentum and popularity it was seeing during the Irwin/Jakks era. Is it impossible? No. Is it likely? Probably not. There IS hope, as Battle of the Gods did well internationally and saw a limited theatrical release state side. If the next upcoming movie does especially well and sees a larger theatrical release in the USA then we might see some figures released state side to help promote the film. That'd be something I know most users here would buy, if they were of quality, of course. TL;DR: We can only hope.

Does anyone know how the Dragon Ball Z Action Pose Figures are organized? Some are marked 3, 4, and another set says 1&2.. but two of the sets are unmarked.

That'd be fine with me too. I just dislike seeing the stereotypical overtly sexual figure. I liked the characters before they were sexualized and made to look ridiculous, why change that?

If they did a Bulma, this is the costume I'd want: It's how I see her in my head when I think of the character. I think having a Saiyaman set of Gohan and Videl would kick ass too:

I want a Tien, Yamcha, Roshi or Raditz figure. I also wouldn't mind Bulma. I may be alone on some of those.
