So, l collected dbz figures as a kid. The early stuff, i traded them off for mtg cards when i was a teenager. As an adult i bought a lot of them back and joined one of these forums. The only one i kept was the great monkey baby. Because he was like unto a trophy of unachievable childhood dreams. For the next few years i would screenshot rare figures that i had always wanted and add them to want lists of loot on my phone. Last year for christmas my girlfriend surprised me with a kami off that list.... so it kinda started this whole whirlwind of nostalgic treasure hunting, competitive ebay shopping, defaulting on lots of personal obligations and a ramen noodle diet intended to maximize my expendable income, but i managed to come up with this. Its not much compared to what a lot of you have, i dont have festival toys, lottery prizes, resins, and figurarts stuff i was really just interested in the toys i never had but always wanted, and recapturing some old favorites. Im hoplessly addicted now and im not even halfway through my list .But i really tackled the rares hard and its only been 1 yr to date. Take a close look and im pretty sure almost everyone will see a random figure or two they dont have or atleast respect the rarity of. Im very bad at posting pictures here so if anyone could pm me a link with instructions i would appreciate it. My DBZ photobucket

Yeah, Photobucket doesn't make it easy. However, if you're on the individual image page, there's a sidebar on the right hand side with "Share this photo" at the top. Click on the box next to "IMG" which will copy their code to your clipboard, and you can then either just paste it into the post as-is, or you can edit out the "{url=" bit to remove links.
Ex (will remove after your links are fixed):

You've got some nice stuff. The big AB Janemba is one of my favorite older figures.
Awesome Mephisto statue too.

Thanks VR. The janemba was actually my christmas present this year. It was the last french figure that I really wanted to get.

Yep. Bootleg ss future trunks is one of my favorite figures ever. I got him in a lot with a bootleg goku, future trunks,and freeza . Then i bought that set of 5 bootlegs that was goin around ebay carded on blister packs, the goten, gohan, trunks, gotenks, and the tiny ss3 goku. I bought the bootleg ss gohan because i thought it was funny. I would love to own a gold haired variant though. Ive seen them pop up. Then one day I found a very strange lot with no accesories that i just had to buy for like the 9 dollars or whatever it was. A bootleg sbc piccolo, a bootleg sbc cell, and a bootleg super guerriers janemba. I had never seen a bootlegged super guerrier before.

My gosh, you have some ridiculously rare figures there...
Super Android 13... AB's rarest, most expensive figure... Nuova Shenron... one of Jakks' rarest and most expensive... Mexican Bootleg Oceanus Shenron... hard to find sometimes AB Janemba... great figure, not usually cheap Jakks King Cold... Jakks best figure they made and always expensive... AB Kami... never seen it for under $100... Perfect Cell model kit... super rare... not incredibly valuable perhaps, but just because nobody knows what it is Bootleg SBC 3 pack Future Trunks... ridiculously hard to find in the US at minimum... Giochi Preziosi Imperfect Cell without any missing parts... super hard to get since they can only come from Italy... Etc.
And then there's more in the next pics! Holy cow, somebody here actually has the Australian Red Rooster happy meal toy Krillin! I've been wanting to see that in a 5 inch collection for years! Could you take a better pic of him next to some other figures?
I'm going to have to save these pictures to my computer... there's too much gold here to not do that.

Thanks a lot for noticing bran. Ive tried really hard this year. That was the only red rooster krillin ive ever seen for sale. Cell model kit was was a huge find for me too. I wanted it so bad as a kid but could never find him gero, or 16. Ive still never seen a kid gohan model kit in person even though i see them pop up on ebay. Hachette baba was a pretty tough find too. And some of the gp figures like ss trunks and buu. I have a list of about 150 more figures to tackle for my 5 inch scale. If your familiar with other rare pieces like the red rooster krillin that would fit well perhaps we could exchange notes. I wanna start working in more key chains. Im gonna get the uub keychain next. My puar is that itty bitty mascot keychain. I think im gonna get their baby goku one as well since its cheaper and more available than the deformation. Ive got my eyes on some korean sbc stuff right now. Im trying to come to terms on a price for a volume 1 and volume 2 goku as a lot. Ill take whatever pictures you would like. just send me the lineup request.
Honorable mention goes to master scholar gohan and plex gregory for being the figures i never thought id find loose and single

Gosh, I have just about every single 5 inch scale figure that looks decent that I could afford or find. Take a look at my collection topic(s) throughout the years and let me know if you need any help identifying what it is I have. A lot of mine are custom figures though, as I wasn't willing to hunt down a Red Rooster Krillin when I could repaint and customize a Burger King one. I don't have many keychains in my collection. Not sure if I have any integrated into my 5 inch scale one or not actually. If you could take a pic of RR Krillin next to your orange coat Irwin Master Roshi, Irwin Yamcha in suit, and your Italian DB Master Roshi (I can't remember the brand name, but he's next to your DBGT Bulma in the pics) that would be awesome. Just one pic of the 4 of them. I'm really surprised you don't have one of the best Goku figures--the Irwin series 4 one. I think he should be on your list. He's about the same size as the SBC Vol 1. Goku you have, but he's what I base most of my entire collection off of. The series 7 (I think 7...) one has a fancy Irwin paint job, but I actually like the series 4 one better. I never found a Popy Gregory I don't think. I settled for a Crazy Bones one that I still haven't ever painted.

I actually about settled on a painted keshi gregory. It was a pretty good representation. (still on ebay if anyones interested) I actually have that goku on my list its just with 350 figures on my starting list i made the decision to buy mostly figures that wernt always available for sale and then hunt for bargains/lots to pick up all the ones that were commonly available. Android saga goku with the kanji on his gi was included in that portion of the list. I actually like the one that came with burter in the jakks 2 pack, he's the other one marked with the wisdom symbol on his chest. Ill take that picture for you when i get home this evening. I look at your topic often. Your sabertooth and kid gohans are some of my favorite pieces. I really want that battle crazed kid gohan in namekian gi you have. Theres one on ebay from australia but they want like 40 bucks in shipping. Im like, um, no. Those pics.

I think that was the first time I discovered those Super Battle bootlegs. I do own same trunks you have boxed with the other characters. I plan to get all of them boxed one day.

@ GP I found it on ebay.it about 6 months ago. there's a seller that commonly sells mixed lots of Deagostini, ultimate spark, hachette, chess pieces, stuff like that. i won two lots for around 13 bucks each and got about 20 dollars combined shipping. that's how i got old kai too. the seller said did not ship international, but i usually dont let that stop me from bidding and letting the seller decide whether or not he wants to quote me a shipping price. thats how i had to get most of my european stuff like gp cell and android 13. so i've noticed the wcf baba looks strikingly similar. does anyone know if its exactly the same beyond color?
@max. yeah i was so stoked when i found the trunks. i immediately scrapped my sbc trunks for its shoes and decals lol. i got super lucky on him the picture of him wasnt even on the first picture of the listing. i think i picked up about 10 figures him included for 45$

Thank you! I'm on my phone, so I'm not going to type much right now, but what battle crazed Gohan are you referring to?
