Hello! My name is Sebastian and I am from Argentina. I share my collection with you. I mainly collect the Super Battle Collection line and others that came out in Argentina in the '90s and early 2000s, a time when I was a child and played with them. Unfortunately I was a child with little money so I had to settle for bootlegs. Currently my collection is focused on 5-inch figures. As I said, mainly SBC and then complete with Irwin or Jakks with characters that have not appeared in the SBC production (krillin, Dabura, the androids, etc). I currently have 21 vols. from SBC, with other versions of the national brand Jocsa that imported the figures in Argentina. Too i have any bootlegs (Vegeta SSJ in box, and others). The Jocsa are: Piccolo, Gohan SSJ, base Goku, Goku SSJ and yellow hair Broly. Without a doubt my favorite is Ozaru. There are very few in Argentina and I am fortunate to have one. Here SBCs are very difficult to get and expensive. Each loose figure costs between 40 and 50 dollars, and boxed between 80 and 180 depending on which one. Buying them on Ebay would mean paying more or less the same in taxes. It's really difficult to get this collection but I don't give up! In the back you can see 5 figures released by the Dorda Toys brand. Although they look ugly, they are official since Dorda had acquired the license. The smaller figures are from a line that came out in Argentina in the '90s. Navarrete made them, and they came in an envelope with a card and a small figure. There are 37 in total and I have the complete collection. You can also see some of a Dragon Ball chess set. Hope you like.

Great collection! I love the Navarette figures. We never got those in the US, and buying figures from Mexico (or South America) in the early 2000s wasn't easy. In fact... it still isn't easy, but at least it is possible now... just expensive. Have you considered collecting the 5 inch Dragon Ball Super bootlegs? They are sold in Argentina, and I really like them. They are very similar to Super Battle Collection. I had to have friends in Argentina buy them for me, because they aren't sold in North America. I'm jealous that collectors in South America have access to these, because they are actually really cool and unique sculpts.

Not really. Currently I'm focused on trying to finish the Super Battle Collection line and then maybe I'll delve a little more into the bootlegs of this same line. GT's SBC line has very good bootlegs! From this pack that you show, Granola and Moro look interesting. I honestly don't like the rest haha. It is curious that from there they are interested in the bootlegs that are sold here. I think the opposite, I envy you for being able to get the SBCs and the Irwins on Ebay or Amazon much easier (and much cheaper!)
