Guys, I'm not sure who's all into this type of thing, but this is amazing!  |

While not a particular fan of any of the MGA DBZ stuff that came out around 1998-2000ish, I can honestly say I don't remember ever seeing this for sale before. Somebody posted these pics on Facebook.

Every now and then I see MGA stuff that I feel like ive never seen before. I really like the MGA electronic sword thats like a mix between Gohan/Trunks sword. What's the story behind MGA were they limited to certain regions in America or only carried by specific retailers? I remember seeing there stuff in my local Revco/CVS pharmacy in Indiana back around the turn of the Millennium. I saw this online yesterday, I thought it was kinda funny. The back was completely blank so I didn't take a picture. Kinda interested in the Giru though...  |

Ok, that's bizarre. I haven't seen that assortment before. I think those came in those 50 cent gumball machines. I have the DB Bulma, Yamcha, and Oolong, as well as that kid Trunks. I've never seen the King Kai or the completely out of place Giru before. How weird.
MGA stuff was at Walmart, Toys R Us, etc. I am pretty sure. I never liked most of it.

Yeah, I see that dragonball pack with Mai, Bulma, Krillin, and the others all the time, I've never seen those one though but I have seen that giru in a collection before though and wondered were it came from. It looks like giru is running away from the Red Ranger lol

That's so weird I've never seen those with power rangers before. I got a set that came with kid Goku, Bulma, Yamcha, kid Krillin, Oolong, Pilaf, Shu, Mai, Master Roshi, King Kai and Ssj Vegeta. The Master Roshi and Ssj Vegeta can't even stand on their own and my set came with an extra Mai. I knew about them making GT figures because I've seen a Ssj4 Goku in one of those sets before. I don't think I've seen the Giru though.

It would be a great Giru if it had any articulation. Looks a bit cooler than the Jakks Pacific one in my opinion.
That's odd an American product wasn't common enough to make the Wikipedia page.

The Giru does look pretty nice. As a whole, these figures are incredibly low quality as far as paint is concerned. I had 3 Bulmas. All looked like crap with barely any paint on their faces. The paint was all chipped up. The Oolong is nice because he's HG scale.

It would be nice to see all the MGA products. They made some mini figures in gimmicks like these   |

I played with this all the time as a kid  
Since we keep referencing them, here's another pack  I wonder how many of these there are. Perhaps that young Krillin is hg scale? |

Branjita the funny thing is my Bulma was one of the only figures I got with a nicely painted face. My Goku on the other hand had almost all of the paint on his face chipped off, I had to repaint his entire face. Something I thought was strange was how large kid Krillin was compared to the other small characters, he's huge.
