Dragon Ball Kai's run on Toonami? Are they re-airing the series or something? Funimation's Cell Saga has been out for 3 years. Dragon Ball Kai Buu Saga ended over a year ago in Japan and then Dragon Ball Super aired a week after. Oh Buu Saga is over? I didn't know that, lol. Now it makes sense. In Japan the Buu saga of Kai aired and then 2 weeks after it finished Super started. Kind of odd that they didn't rework the epilogue of Z with Super coming though.

Nice work on Maijin Vegeta! The brushwork of the M is beautiful!

Sucks that they used the most boring characters, as far as the line goes. Two Goku molds with boring accessories. Super Buu and Gotenks would have sold great. Great Saiyaman would have been nice as well. Vegito came with the Spirit Sword though which was neat.

August 9 release! I'll cover a few basics to start the topic. 18 Quintillion planets to visit. 18,000,000,000,000,000,000,000! Most likely trillions of species to discover. Say I go to a planet the size of Earth it would take 9,500 real hours to walk the surface in straight line. You also catalog plants like the animals. The guns and ships are basic but, the upgrades you find to use are randomly generated! The game is a giant universe with, solar systems, stars all that good stuff. NMSIS.net is a clan I'm in (PC and ps4). I believe it has around 200 members currently. Guild hall will be a solar system lol but really. Even if you hate the concept will you join me in my quest to find Namek and the dragon balls? I thought where you started was completely randomized, and it was implied that finding other people would be rare? How does a guild work with that kind of setup?

I really hope they dont do that. Ive spent alot of money on my figures this last year to obtain and almost complete the line just for them to re re release with updates. Id rather get new ones and not feel like I got screwed lol Based on the reissues that we have gotten so far, the originals generally were better releases on most accounts. However, the cost of the originals has also dived upon a new updated release. Honestly though, if you couldn't afford to lose the money you invest in action figures, you probably shouldn't have I always get puzzled by people buying up extras of recent releases in order to flip them based off the cost of Scouter Vegeta, Frieza and Cell. The only reason they are expensive now is due to popularity of the line booming, while the previous releases didn't sell through nearly as well. Now the line is booming and we are getting new collectors every day, who are still able to buy most releases in the past year at retail. Oh yeah, one other thing to note, in the past 2 years the line has exploded from 3-4 figures a year tops to the heights of almost 10-12 releases a year.

Nah, I've seen Sabat take ownership of the joke. I'm just saying that it's now a running joke among them. Who created the joke originally doesn't make it less prevalent among the cast though. I'm really excited that a new Nappa apparently exists. I just wish they would have shown him off. Even if it was a preview night mix up to show Tien/Yamcha, why couldn't they 'accidentally' show Nappa too. Also I love that they have the GEOMETRY hands for Tien! I mean, they are kind of required, but I wouldn't have been that surprised if they didn't include them. I'm a little jaded I guess though. Somebody who talked to Adam Newman said that it doesn't exist at the moment. So I don't know if d_amazing was lying or Adam Newman is keeping it secret. While I'm not calling either a flat out liar, d_amazing doesn't have reason to lie really outside of self-promotion, but why stir that pot when he could have left it with just Tien/Yamcha? Adam however has brand relations to think of, and saying that he doesn't have a prototype of Nappa doesn't mean that one doesn't exist. It could just be side stepping the issue. I didn't read that though so I don't know what kind of phrasing/context there was. That is decidedly not awesome to read though. :sigh:

In the pre show for Ressurection f it came up from several of the actors actually. Oh. When I met Chris Sabat at Dallas Comic Con in June, he was telling me this theory, and he was taking ownership of it as his theory that Puar and Chaozu are figments of Tien and Yamcha's imaginations. I think I have me meeting him and him talking about this on video, but I don't have it on youtube to share it. I'll have to add it some other time if you really want to see it. I doubt you do, but just thought I'd mention it. Nah, I've seen Sabat take ownership of the joke. I'm just saying that it's now a running joke among them.

Hit is a more interesting premise than Chaotzu hands down. I mean hell, the character is a running joke among the voice actors that he doesn't actually exist. That he is simply a figment of Tien's imagination. Technically that's just something Chris Sabat says about Puar and Chaozu to be silly. I wouldn't say it's particularly noteworthy or relevant more than anyone else's opinion. In the pre show for Ressurection f it came up from several of the actors actually.

Dude seriously? I can play this game too: We get it, you don't like super and want classic characters that have at least had more screen time. Honestly Winnie the Pooh there has just as much relevance to the plot as Chaotzu. Both has fights in a tournament and were immediately irrelevant. Hit is a more interesting premise than Chaotzu hands down. I mean hell, the character is a running joke among the voice actors that he doesn't actually exist. That he is simply a figment of Tien's imagination. I want Nappa before any other release, but understand that Super is what is most relevant.

I don't want the Universe 6 characters. Zero creativity in them. One guy is a Frieza/Cooler ripoff. One guy's head literally looks like a penis with a rubber band tied around it, and another guy is like a robot Winnie The Pooh. Pass. Give me Chaotzu or give me death, cause he/she/it is way more better than the Universe 6 characters. Your reasoning is a bit flawed there. I'll yield that Frost isn't exactly original, but Hit was a good new design. You're making a phallic reference for him and then proclaiming the desire for a midget mime? I get that people don't like Super, but this is just silly. With that said, I would definitely like a lot of the Z cast of characters to come out before Super, but I'm also aware that what is currently being marketed and is on TV in Japan is likely going to be what is most pushed. The hardcore fan base that love DBZ are mostly watching Super, and I don't doubt Tamashii realizes that a lot of the hardcore collectors are also watching fan subs.

I recommend picking up the World of Nintendo Metroid to go with it. Finding a Figma Samus for a decent price sucks. I had mine for around 60 buck I think. The World of Nintendo Samus is good but slightly inferior to me. I wasn't saying pick up the WoN Samus, but the Metroid.
