I'm not sure who is the maker of this kit, maybe Kaiyodo or B-club, but it appear to be the original mold of that Hong Kong resin that you have on your list. With the High-Coloring keychain you have a mention of the metallic release and the bootleg, but not this edition I guess.

Very cool. I've always been a Zarbon and Dodoria fan too. These aren't for sale, but I still have my original Zarbon custom figure that appeared in a few 2001 issues of Beckett as well as an unfinished Zarbon garage kit that is super rare and missing from your list.

I need that garage kit. I have the issues of the Beckett magazine where that Zarbon custom is listed. I was very happy to see that back then when there was absolutely nothing of the characters to be found. It was only in 2004 when I was able to obtain some pieces in relation to my favorites. I'm still very upset that no American companies have made any of my top 3 favorites. If you can help me get the pieces I need + that garage kit you show, I'd greatly appreciate it as you can see I'm a strict collector of those 3 characters. Help me get the last pieces I need mate. And @ M5JagDragonPanzerIV, I have both versions of that keyring, the Super Variant and the Base Version. Both come with their tags. Any other pieces you guys can find that you may think I don't have, please show me. Although I would greatly prefer to obtain them.

There are the glow in the dark variants of the Bandai Keshi as well.
And sorry you just used a photo of a bootleg of the High-coloring keychain, and you seem to consider bootlegs as well in your list.

I think the only way you'll get the Zarbon garage kit I have is on Yahoo Japan, but it's definitely not common at all. The chubby one that comes with Frieza and Dodoria is the only common one I suppose. I've definitely never seen him on eBay before.

And sorry you just used a photo of a bootleg of the High-coloring keychain, and you seem to consider bootlegs as well in your list. Yeah, the bootleg pieces are in and of themselves unique so they count as somewhat official as there are more than 100 of them in circulation. The only time I don't want figures is if they're custom, because then there's just one-of-a-kind and that would mean they aren't very collectible as more than one person would have to be able to collect them for them to qualify as such. Certain bootlegs and knockoffs are actually official to the place they were released regardless of being unlicensed. I do have both versions of that Zarbon keyring though, plus the bootleg one. Oh, in regards to the Keshi pieces, do you have any photos of Zarbon, Dodoria, and Cui in some form that I don't have them? Or better yet, if you do have them, I would need to purchase them. All help is appreciated. I never saw that garage kit anywhere but here on the forums and the older forums. Is it even a licensed product? Thanks so much. I appreciate any help I can get!

I don't think it's a licensed product. I think it's something somebody made for Wonder Festival.

I don't think it's a licensed product. I think it's something somebody made for Wonder Festival. Then is it a custom? I don't want custom items. I know that some items had limited runs for the Festival related locations and were some official items though; the Guru [ToysClub], King Cold [Tokyo Toy Festival] and Porunga [Wonder Festival] pieces come to mind. These were all produced in limited quantities but they are all official items regardless. I only want pieces that are of such caliber; items that are not one-of-a-kind. So far, I was able to track down and notate 58 items for Zarbon, 36 items for Dodoria, and 12 items for Cui.

Mmmm, I'd just say it's a low production garage kit made by a skilled sculptor. Mine was not particularly well cast and is missing the cape, so I am going to have to do a bunch of custom work to it before I paint it. I purchased it partially painted by the previous owner and removed a lot of his sloppy paint work.

Mine might actually be a copy of the original. I bought the sloppily painted model from DBT member named Saiyan, who bought it from Elot (@edison), so Edison would know the story. I think it's actually a bootleg resin copy of the original, but I'm not positive.
Anyway, I have a pic of a similar garage kit attached... the sloppy painted one the way I received it... and the original (or one of the original) garage kits attached.

Here are 3 more pics of the original garage kit. These pics were saved from Yahoo Japan in August of 2003.
