That Super Bebi is cool, but I agree, it looks sketchy. Irwin didn't release DBGT SBC figures, and your idea that the blister is from the Mattel release is brilliant. I wouldn't have thought of that. I've talked with people from company's and I heard/seen how prototypes work. The Baby was used for company meetings to show how the product would look. And they would call it a Mock-Up because that's what they have to show the company to get it approved. Usually company's fake their own figures or make own versions/put prototypes in cards. But the case of my Baby its the final version just unpainted. Also yeah about the Mattel blister, company's borrow stuff from others and since Mattel already released their GT figures earlier in Mexico then the US did they just probably asked for a blister instead of making their own. And I can mostly tell because of the way the bubble starts to sink in in the top middle, something only Mattel had.

Also today I got my second The Best of DBZ Goku and his hair piece is broken... I still don't mind because I got a refund and get to keep it. He still has the yellow string to hold him. Also if anyone knows how to fix please tell me. Thanks.

That is so awesome. Ive never heard anyone mention irwin having custody of the sbc gt molds. Do you know anything about the origin of this piece? If that is truly authentic then it's a marvel and you should treasure it. If it was an ebay find i hope you contacted the seller to see if he was involved with irwin and could lead you to anymore such things. I am truly jealous. What I know to my knowledge is that the bubble is the M attel for a place holder and the back card is the Deluxe Blasting Energy card. Yeah it was a ebay find but the seller isn't registered on ebay so I can't message him anymore but he probably got banned for selling illegal prototypes.

EDIT: SORRY FOR WRITING AN ENTIRE BOOK lol like the goku because i feel he has the natural bulk to fit in with the other jakks figures. And i like that he has the symbol on his gi. I know thats not a big deal to you guys because you litterally make your own, but to the type of person i am he seems superior just because he came with that extra little feature lol. Interestingly ive seen the android saga irwin goku come both with and without the symbol on his chest. I like the irwin stuff better, "in a sense", because i played with them as a kid, but the jakks figures are just so much nicer when they're in my hand. Im not huge into scale as it relates to the anime, nor am i too concerned with particular aesthetics. I just like my figures to look nice and to just go well together. For instance, I imagine every male masters of the universe figure was roughly the same height. Even though that sacrifices the scale between the characters it makes them all go nicely together. That probably best explains why some of my figure choices may not be the most orthodox. I like figures like janemba and yakkon so much, not because they are favorite characters or well made toys, they just remind me of monsters i played with as a kid like the rancor and the astral moat monster from thundercats. I honestly like the glossy stiff armed AB figures more than any others just because they remind me of 80s toys. Lol i have the ab kabitokai with no intention of acquiring the jakks one that most people seem to favor. Im just kinda odd like that i guess Ive seen that custom photo lots of times. Thats an awesome goku. Whose arms are those? I thought they were gogeta but then they wouldnt have the sleeves... I appreciate the offer to pick up the 2 pack. Thats very kind of you. Ill have to pass though. Right now my BUY ON SIGHT list is pretty small. Epoch oolong is probably the only non jakks figure on it. Only because gold hair sbc vol 7 vegeta is finally on its way. That thing took me forever to find for under 20$ the toughest pieces for me right now are removable shirt jakks goku for under 50$ jakks vegeta with scouter for under 75 and omega shenron for around 100. Ive seen the cloth shirt goku on amazon and ebay but its always carded for 80+. Beyond that gp krillin and namekian gohan are giving me a bit of a hassle. I dont want the chinese quality rejects that being sold on american ebay and all the itallian ones are still a bit pricey after shipping. Ive seen a huge quality difference. 2 different heads completely on the namekian gohan. My holy grail right now is the gp gold figures. I really want that ss3 goku and ss3 gotenks. I need them carded so i can open them but prove theyre not repaints lol. There's a ss3 goku on ebay but he is missing his bang . Thank you so much bran for linking me to that santal lot. Ive already messaged the seller about shipping. I will own those soon thanks to your lead thats why i really wanted to join this sight. I kept all my adventures and excitement to myself all year so i could have something worth showing when i did speak up, but now its getting to the point where i need the help of a community of like minded fellows to bag the truly rare game. Goku's arms are the battle damaged super saiyan goku and frieza 2 pack. And for the gold haired figures are you talking about these?

Yep. Bootleg ss future trunks is one of my favorite figures ever. I got him in a lot with a bootleg goku, future trunks,and freeza . Then i bought that set of 5 bootlegs that was goin around ebay carded on blister packs, the goten, gohan, trunks, gotenks, and the tiny ss3 goku. I bought the bootleg ss gohan because i thought it was funny. I would love to own a gold haired variant though. Ive seen them pop up. Then one day I found a very strange lot with no accesories that i just had to buy for like the 9 dollars or whatever it was. A bootleg sbc piccolo, a bootleg sbc cell, and a bootleg super guerriers janemba. I had never seen a bootlegged super guerrier before. I remember that lot too. I think that was the first time I discovered those Super Battle bootlegs. I do own same trunks you have boxed with the other characters. I plan to get all of them boxed one day.

A few years back probably 2007 there was listing for a Movie Collection Series 2 Battle Damaged Goku figure and it was made to look like a zombie and it was really (OFF) looking compared to other customs. Don't have a picture of it because it appeared once and I was little. I think it was $39.99. He had chains on his wrist and he was really pale looking and he had wings on his back and a really scary face. If anyone remember this and has pictures, PLEASE I want to see if anyone remembers this and has picture.
