I'm Majin Rob, I've been involved with Dragon Ball as a fan for over ten years and been making Dragon Ball related websites for a great part of that time. I'm currently making a Dragon Ball action figure reference website, which I hope to share with you all, but it's not yet viewable or close to being complete. I really love what I'm seeing in this forum and intend to stay for a very long time. I've joined the Navy and will be leaving for boot camp in November, so I may disappear for a short period of time. However, if I'm lucky enough to visit Japan I will be posting pictures of all the cool and rare merchandise I see while I'm over there. If anyone has any interest in contributing to the website I'm working on, then please let me know. I'm always looking for pictures to add to the checklists of each line of figures. Hope my website won't step on anyone's toes here, thanks for having me and I'm happy to be here. EDIT: For those curious.. here's the beta version of my site. It's not done or even remotely complete: www.dbzfigures.com

I don't think I can lose any of these figures though. We'll just see how it goes... Consider making a trip to Ikea, if you have one around you, they're a furniture store. Their items are rather affordable and have proven a great resource for me finding ways to display my collectibles.

The Super Battle Collection figures are my all time favorites, especially the GT figures. I feel the SBCs only get better as the product line progressed.

I've been seeing a similar dilemma. I have many Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures and I've been debating liquidating the ones I'm less fond of to make room for the ones I really want to collect. It will be tough to let go of some of them, if I decide to.

I can't imagine it being worth significantly more than a non-misprinted equivalent. These sorts of things appeal to a niche audience, within a niche audience. However, I've seen misprinted Pokemon and Magic trading cards sell for large sums of money. All you need to do is find the few collectors who really want this sort of thing and see what they're willing to pay for such an item.

Never seen these either, though they look very nice. In my experience plushies are often hard to source, unless produced by a major manufacturer. What site did you find these on? It's possible they're custom made and unlicensed, though still impressive.

the SBCs: The SS3 Son Gokou is missing a tuft of hair, so he has a hole in his forehead, quite bothersome. Will probably sell this figure off at a steep discount and replace it with a mint version. the Irwins: Broly has some yellowing on the plastic, not upset though, bought these for next to nothing on Craigslist. the Figuarts: Figuarts Zero: (box for Trunks is stored away, I like displaying these out of the box) Some other figures I collect.. I have four more Super Battle Collection figures on the way right now. Bought them off eBay and will update the thread as they arrive.

Great collection. Very good of you to keep the boxes as well. I'm one of those types who keeps his figures in the boxes. Though some of them, like my Figuarts Zeros, I display outside the box and keep the empty boxes stored safely.
