One location of Tokyo Japanese Lifestyle, a chain store in California, has this posted in a display case with their figures. It looks like they used the same images. The fake sticker explanation goes along with the example you posted, Bran. You can see where it says "ソ" instead of "ン". Something I find funny, is that the one location I found this sign at is selling authentic import merchandise with the stickers, while other locations that do not have this posted, are selling a mixture of bootleg and authentic merchandise.

Branjita The Piccolo without cape and hat is from a Bandai set called Battle Brusher. The Fat Buu looks like the Battle Brusher Fat Buu, only without the shoulder articulation. The SS Trunks wearing the jacket looks like a scaled down version of the Bandai Gashapon EX Trunks, which is 2 3/4" tall.

I think the Final Form Cooler figure is probably 4" at the top points of his head. I have the two green Imperfect Cell figures in the last photo and they are about 4 1/4" at the top of their crests. Also, I believe the name of these models are "Super Full Action".

That display card is from the Micro-Cross line of gashapon. While those are not specifically Micro Fighters, they are smaller figures that fit into the Cross-Up line. The Cross-Up line were keshi figures with plastic clothing/armor that would clip on over the figure.

gp The Gohan looks like it's the one from Dragonball Imagination Series 8. It just looks like it was altered to sit atop that HG style stand.

It looks like a custom. A few other figures in that video also look like customs, Cookie Dabura and the pink ghost with green straw hat.

Not a keshi that I am aware of. It's hard too tell from the photo, but it looks like one of those DBZ Crazy Bones style of figures. It looks similar to the pearl white Bubbles in this photo.

doomprevails88 The Puar and bat Oolong keshi came from packages of Sapporo Boy Ramen. Here is a commercial. Attachment Deleted Attachment DeletedI believe there was also a bat Puar, but not sure if it was from this line or a different one. Another keshi transformation I am aware of is the robot that Oolong transforms into when he is first introduced in the series. I've seen the huge Goku before, but am not sure what it is from. The last photo, those group of keshi are all from gashapon. The flesh colored Android 16 and light yellow Krillin are from the Cross-Up series, Part 5. The bigger purple kid Gohan is from the Full Metal Jacket series, Part 1. The rest of the figures are from various Parts of the main line of gashapon keshi. Attachment Deleted

It will be interesting to see what the rest of the figures will look like. I hope we'll get some figures with more detailed sculpts and not just things like these gimmicky fighting figures.

Hurray! Someone else who collects keshi. Nice collection you have going. Most of the figures you have are from the DragonBall/Dragonball Z Keshi Gashapon series. The orange Oolong bat and Puar bat were included with instant ramen. Attachment DeletedThe green Gohan with the black armor is from DragonBall Z Cross-Up (Kurosuappu/Kurosu) Part 7. The Orange Trunks with blue armor is from Cross-Up Part 7 or 8. The purple Tien looks like it is from a Cross-Up series, too. Possibly Part 5. Figures in the Cross-Up Series had clothes/armor that would clip on over the figure. The red Frieza form 1 and Frieza with the "red thingy" on his back are both from DragonBall Z Part 11. The figures came with a scouter lens you would place over the plastic insert on the back to reveal the power level on the sticker. Attachment DeletedThe light yellow-ish Krillin with hair is from a series of Shokugan (candy toy) called Plate Base. Attachment Deleted

thanks for the info cracker , hmm, they do look cool, are they worth it? do u collect them? I have a few favorites from a couple different series. I want to collect them all, but I know once I start, I'm going to be all in and I don't need another thing to collect. I really love the look of the characters and the sculpts are great! As far as if they are worth it, that's up to you. If you are looking at it from an investment stand point, no I don't think they are worth it. Their prices, so far, aren't increasing the way a line like Figuarts are. If they are worth having because you get enjoyment out of the line, then yeah, I'd say go for it!

If you happen to buy them from a gashapon machine, they go for 200 yen each, roughly $2. If you buy them from somewhere like ebay, individual figures are around $4-$8 depending on the seller. On average, a complete set of a newer series will cost around $25. Like most other lines, the older the series the more you will pay.
