Yeah, I attempted it but for some reason, there was no open box or space under the quote box. I guess I'm inept or I was just too lazy to find out why. Oh well. No worries  |

MP8 If you click the BBC code option in the edit box, it swill switch you over to the text based reply where you can shift around text if it gets misplaced. I've wiped the post, since you posted the same reply in the next post. Also, try not to reply to posts with large amounts of images as they are quite tedious for people to have to scroll past.

Like others mentioned, sometimes if the quote is really big you have to do the bbcode method to get below it or it's hard to place your cursor.
I think the sculpt of the figures in series 5 were fine other than Dr. Gero's funny mustache, too long of legs and arms, and Goku's particularly disappointing "driving hands" that I wish were only on the gold haired one that came with capsule vehicle 341.
I'm not sure what race Dr. Gero was supposed to be in the show, but I was disappointed he was not given brown skin at minimum. It's kind of like if they made Turles and didn't give him his kind of strange lavender/khaki skin tone.

Branjita I think he's meant to be portrayed as German, seeing as how the Red Ribbon Army was quite 1940's German-esque with it's uniform designs. That's just my thoughts anyway.

Hmm, never seen anybody German with brown skin though. General Blue is who looks stereotypical German. Red looks Scottish, Silver was given a Russian accent in the English dub but that doesn't mean anything. Metalitron was clearly Austrian  |

I always figured Gero and 19 had a circus/gypsy feel to them myself; with a little tweak of Mongolian.
But yeah, General Blue was stereotypical to the letter from his armband to his early Party/NSDAP inspired "Brown Shirt" uniform.

I was bummed we never got Cooler. If they made Broly and Bojak why not cooler. Also I think a Tapion and Minosha battle pack would of been wicked!  I also would have loved to see Janemba packaged with his sword accessory. Also Garlic Jr's second pumped up form would of been nice. Also I think Black From the red ribbon army would have been cool, and I wish they would have produced that Adder(android  that they had on the prototype pic. I was Shocked we never got a Kami or Popo. The Normal form Future Trunks that Jakks made had a great head, but I hated how they used goku's legs were you can see the shoe lase lol and GT Vegeta's hands just painted over, It would of been nice to see a Future trunks with that head, but on a much improved body. I liked The Irwin Future trunks and it was great but would have been nice to have seen the one Jakks made without using the goku body and using a totally new body and using the same concept as Irwin's future trunks did with the removable sword on the sheath. I sort of wish Dragonball z figures had the same success as star wars figures had. You notice Star wars makes figures on every single character imaginable. even background characters that had only 2 seconds screen time, Imagine if DBZ did that, then we would have had The Spice boys, Kui,Yamu,goldo, Tamburine(Dragonball), some of bardock's crew etc. It would of been really interesting if DBZ's Irwin or Jakks had did what star wars did
I forgot to mention, I would have loved to see a new and improved Frieza Second or 3rd form. I just thought Frieza's second form Was somewhat comical with the small head lol and how is articulation was somewhat hindered by his shoulders. I didn't mind the shoulders too much, but the head just flat out bothered me lol, I think it was terrible. If we would have had a better improved Frieza Second form, It would have been awesome! Also a 3rd Frieza would have been sweet too! I know the Irwin 3rd frieza wasn't to bad, but it would have been nice to get a more detailed one with better articulation

Must have everyone except worthless civilian-types. Also, I put a Popy Frieza 2nd Form head on the Irwin body to get a better sized head for him and put Frieza 2nd form legs on my 3rd form body. Here's the pics. Check out my other customs for characters Irwin didn't make and obviously more to come.   |

Series 3 and 4 of the Dragonball collectible figures, also the unreleased Yu Yu Hakusho 7" figures that db999 posted.
I remember when DB series 2 came out, Irwin went under and IF Labs turned into the lesser Giant Ape under Jakks, then series 2 was only available at TRU, and all you could find were piles of Launch and Mai(probably due to scalpers and crap distribution). I remember not buying them on purpose until I found Yamcha or Goku, which I finally got(the IF Lab versions) from ebay a couple years ago.

Since they did 'em in series' of 5 usually, I always wished they had done a movie villain series. Idk why they mainly did the movie villain only in the IF Labs/Giant Ape series.
Anyway,
Final Form Cooler
LSS Broly (Not the small Broly they actually did, but something maybe similar in size to the jacked up Roshi)
Janemba
Super 13
Turles
It would've been great if they'd done a 5 figure set for each movie, without reusing the exact same molds over and over.

A movie 5 inch line would have been insane. Each series could have the main villain and his henchmen.
Super Garlic Jr
Garlic Jr
Sansho
Nicky
Ginger
Dr.Wheelo
Dr.Kochin
Misokatsun
Kishime
Ebifurya
Turles
Amond
Deiz
Cacao
Lakasei/Raisin
Cooler
Final Form Cooler
Doore
Salza
Naiz
Lord Slug
Angila
Wings
Metamatcha
Commander Zeeun
etc
