Dang, that's a nice collection you've got started! Seeing some of these figures for the first time in years brings back childhood memories. Mine are in boxes in my basement somewhere. I may need to go hunting one of these days and pull my figures back out of storage.

Very cool! I like that SSB Goku custom figure. You know, it's funny. I owned that SS Gohan by Irwin for many years, but seeing him next to Future Trunks, I had no idea just how tall he was compared to him! It's weird that Irwin made 11 year old SS Gohan look like he was 28 years old  , but he is towering over Future Trunks. I'm kind of surprised! |

Branjita Thanks so much, I made him after I found out he was a bootleg I got from a kijiji deal that came with a few others I might custom eventually. I figured I already had a shirtless goku so might as well customize him lol. Oh yeah, that ss gohan is huge for the scale, like he's only half a cm shorter than great saiyaman. I feel like Irwin may have enlarged the smaller characters just to help them sell better because I remember back in the day the isles were always full of all the short characters from super battle collection irwin released in north america. like there were always so many young trunks and gotens. but that's just my hunch. cause there sure is a lot of off scale krillen's and gohans lol

It looks great for your first!
And you're definitely not wrong. Kid Trunks and Goten sold pretty poorly, but the SBC and AB figures Irwin re-released back then didn't really come with anything. I wish Irwin scaled everybody properly and just included some accessories or small characters to go with them. For example, that SS Gohan could have been awesome if he was the proper size and came with a SS2 head to swap on!

Branjita thank you so much! oh yeah that would have been better if they came with good accessories or even if they came together like irwin did with there super saiyan forms. even as a kid i was like this should not be the same price as piccolo that just doesn't add up lol oh that would have been so cool if they did that!! like its cool he came with the vehicle for that Gohan but the guy can fly seems a little redundant. I have Roshi on the vehicle right now and he looks like hes having fun lol

vanny dioramas take some space but are always worth to be made in my opinion, will be curious to see what you will create.

  Here's some recent pickups! It was my birthday this month so it was a little gift to myself. I'm super pumped on the Hercule/Mr.Satan especially and I love how he fits so well with the vehicle! Also now I'm just ghostenks away from having a version of each form. additionally was also surprised to find out my young trunks is a limited paint model which wasn't mentioned in the ad YaY! he looks Minty(the flavour) only disappointment is realizing Irwin didn't paint the toes on time chamber trunks boots. I went to see if it was a bootleg and I noticed his toes are even unpainted on the box art they just kind blur it a bit in hope you don't notice lol very ecstatic over all to add these to the collection! |

it makes me very happy everyday to look it. I really love what I have so far but really want to add so many more. Also the only ones from when I was a kid are angel Goku, SS Goku with the ripped shirt, and my Piccolo. Everything else i've found at flea markets, thrift stores, conventions or ebay. 
, but he is towering over Future Trunks. I'm kind of surprised!
