It will be hard to find parts for this since it was released only in France (and I think in Brazil or something). You'd have to ask on a French forum and I doubt you'd find the parts either but it might be worth a try. You would probably just have to find a way to fix it yourself.

If it's the metallic gold hair one that came in the rare 4-pack then yes but if it's just the normal yellow hair then it's only worth what other Movie Collection figures are.

You know I find it very weird with how big a hit Dragonball was that nobody has ever released Dr. Slump in the US. You'd think some company would try to capitalize on the DBZ thing.

I have both sets. Glad I got them when shipping was cheaper.

Damn. Wish I had seen that. $40 is a steal.

Yes I bought them when they first came out. The original Dorda releases came with a skateboard for each figure. Vegeta and Piccolo had a green skateboard, and Goku and Gohan came with nimbus cloud skateboards. I have one or two still in the package but I never saw a SS Goku on Dorda packaging. Irwin later re-released them without skateboards.

Irwin for sure. Let's not forget a lot of early Jakks stuff was actually Irwin's stuff they never got a chance to release like the Pikkon and some of the Buus for instance (there's unconfirmed rumors that figures like Cyborg Freeza and Imperfect Cell are Irwin's sculpt too). Irwin's sculpts were always improving as they went along and they took chances on releasing obscure stuff no other company would. Without them we would never get stuff like Bulma, Yakon, Dabura, Spopovitch, Evil Majin Buu or the Androids. Jakks was friggin lazy with the majority of their stuff being parts swapped Saiyan figures. They only realized their mistake too late when the line was dying. Let's not mention how they made GT figures in a different scale so they wouldn't fit in with all the other Dragonball figures relased. Ya, that was a smart move. Sorry but Irwin made me excited to collect Dragonball figures and they were the best.

carnage I'm surprised you'd say that given how infrequently you'd visit ( or at least, post, on dbt-- for all I know you were on there 5 times a day). I would think you'd be one of the members that would be even more supportive of organization. Even with my frequent visits of being on there practically every 2 hours, 10 hours a day, it was impossible to keep up with what was being posted, in the last few months and everything was so disorganized and figuarts this, figuarts that, that I found the forums pretty much unreadable, or at least unappealing to read. my guess is that you weren't attempting to read catch of the day, check this out, or items yet to arrive in the mail. no offense intended to the members, but I didn't like reading "I just bought sdcc Piccolo!" fourteen times by fourteen different members, when all I cared to see was pretty much anything other than figuarts, so organization was key to making the forum a pleasant experience for all, and a more time efficient experience for those with only a specific interest in a type of figures. there are people here that only collect figuarts and don't care to see my $5 irwin figures. Again no offence intended. Just had no idea what the reason is. For someone like me who didn't visit the forum frequently it came out of the blue (or seemed to). Didn't know if there was some type of strife going on behind the scenes. It is an improvement but I still feel like there is too much splintering of the topics. It's fine for now but when things die down some forums will be pretty barren. I hope that doesn't happen. Believe me I'm no one to criticize because I'm making a Dragonball site of my own (don't worry just a retail site) so I know how hard it is. My site is already up but unfinished and looking like crap.

I have some Hybrids and the thing that pisses me off most is that if you swap out the hands after that the hands will fall off just by looking at them the wrong way. The way the hand joints work are just stupid. Joints are loose and fragile as well. Ok if you just keep them in one position ever but if you pose them beware.

No offence or anything but I'm just wondering if anyone has said why creating another forum was needed? It's a very risky thing taking something that is already established and completely trashing it. Also, breaking the toy categories up into smaller sections was good in a way but very bad in others. Like a forum just for SHFiguarts? Really? How long will the line last that it requires it's own forum? Sure it's popular at the moment but it won't continue forever. Splintering the message board into smaller niche forums could hinder rather than stimulate conversation. I don't mean to be negative but just wondering why is all.
