The two biggest American companies that made Dragonball Z figures go head-to-head. Which do you prefer? Who made better figures? Vote and discuss!

Interesting. I liked some of the variations of charters jakks had but I like how Irwin had mostly the android and cell saga figures. Plus I liked the medalians you got with Irwin. Irwin is my vote.

Irwin's paint jobs on series 6 through 11 are fantastic, so that is who I chose. They also didn't ever just paint over a sculpt and call it a new character like Jakks did, ex: Tien having Goku's boot lines.

Personally, I think Jakks did better in terms of character sculpts.

I think Irwin had well made figure, though I did like Jakks' variety of characters but had bad sculpts.

Irwin has better paint jobs, didn't really reuse parts, and made a lot of figures of minor characters. Jakks had better articulation but were really lazy and reused a lot of parts but still made a great diversity of characters. overall I would say Irwin is the winner because even though they didn't have the best articulation there appearance of the figures made up for it...

Irwin. Great range of characters, great paint, and they didn't have a million re-releases or repaints. Jakks only made a few figures that I really liked, like King Cold and Omega Shenron.

One thing I gotta add to what I said is that Jakks did a much better job on the packaging, though they could have done better (Ex: Buu Saga Tien's pic on a package where the figure is shirtless? Why not put a shirtless pic of him there?). I don't collect MIB/NIB figures, but a display of Jakks figures looks a lot cooler than a display of identical Irwin figure packages to me. Jakks ended up producing neat stuff, but the paint jobs is what makes me choose Irwin.

I've got to go with irwin on this one. While they had some failures, some of their figures were just so spot on, that in this day of Figuarts and crazy Japanese statues they still find places in my collection displays. Some of my favorites are Daburah, spopovich, yakon, Great Saiyaman and android 16.

Irwin takes the cake for me. Jakks had some nice sculpts, put they were too lazy IMO. Irwin always had new, otherwise unmade characters with nice unique sculpts.

Yeah, the Shenron's are nice, but Bardock isn't all that great. He's good to have but not really all that accurate. For what he sells for now, I don't really think he's worth it. Their King Cold and Semi-Perfect Cell are great along with a few others, but comparing a handful to Irwin's huge list of good figures, Jakks just doesn't stack up for me.
