Some cool stuff in there! Especially SBC 3 pack SS Vegeta. You might consider buying some expand-a-shelf things from The Container Store for displaying your loose figures. That's what I have about 14 of. And then I have 2 of these larger ones for my IF Labs DB figures. You should wait until they go on sale sometime. Not sure when they do go on sale, but I've always ordered mine when they were around $6 or $7 each and then I'd go pick them up at the local store. Kind of convenient since I didn't have to go load them up myself and I could guarantee that I'd get the online, sale price.

That is so awesome. Ive never heard anyone mention irwin having custody of the sbc gt molds. Do you know anything about the origin of this piece? If that is truly authentic then it's a marvel and you should treasure it. If it was an ebay find i hope you contacted the seller to see if he was involved with irwin and could lead you to anymore such things. I am truly jealous.

What I know to my knowledge is that the bubble is the M attel for a place holder and the back card is the Deluxe Blasting Energy card. Yeah it was a ebay find but the seller isn't registered on ebay so I can't message him anymore but he probably got banned for selling illegal prototypes.

Also today I got my second The Best of DBZ Goku and his hair piece is broken... I still don't mind because I got a refund and get to keep it. He still has the yellow string to hold him. Also if anyone knows how to fix please tell me. Thanks.

That Super Bebi is cool, but I agree, it looks sketchy. Irwin didn't release DBGT SBC figures, and your idea that the blister is from the Mattel release is brilliant. I wouldn't have thought of that.
In general, super glue (Loctite is my preferred brand) works well on figures. For a permanent hold, epoxy is better, but it has to be mixed with a toothpick. There's a LOT of text about glues in the How To Get Started Customizing topic on here.

I've talked with people from company's and I heard/seen how prototypes work. The Baby was used for company meetings to show how the product would look. And they would call it a Mock-Up because that's what they have to show the company to get it approved. Usually company's fake their own figures or make own versions/put prototypes in cards. But the case of my Baby its the final version just unpainted. Also yeah about the Mattel blister, company's borrow stuff from others and since Mattel already released their GT figures earlier in Mexico then the US did they just probably asked for a blister instead of making their own. And I can mostly tell because of the way the bubble starts to sink in in the top middle, something only Mattel had.
