Hey everyone! It's been a while, hope you're all doing well!
I'm coming to you guys in seek of some information. I'm trying to collect info on some of the RAREST Irwin toy and Jakks Pacific Dragon Ball Figures. I know the Omega and Nova shenron figures are considered some of the RAREST but I know there are some really limited figures to come out from them. Which ones do you guys consider to be the RAREST ones? Thank you guys!

Hmm... as far as Irwin is concerned, the SS3 Goku from Series 11 was incredibly rare because most shipments did not come with him, which may have been due in part to their bankruptcy during that time. When Jakks got the license, they released Series 11 in different packaging if I remember right. I'm not a MOC collector, so I just remember living through that... the inability to get SS3 Goku because shipments were being sent without him. I got my figures from a large, popular comic book store locally back then since they were so popular, and the comic book store didn't get any SS3 Gokus in any of the cases they received. He was selling for a LOT on ebay back then. $100+ because nobody could find him for months. Then Jakks got the license and he was somewhat easy to find.
Irwin Chiaotzu was hard to find. Not sure if it was just my experience or he was actually produced in lower numbers... My mom found him at KayBees/KB Toys. I never saw him any of the places I went.
All the Jakks stuff from right before they gave up on DBZ and lost the license ended up rare. I'm not sure if it was because people couldn't find it anywhere except Toys R Us or what the deal was. I stopped collecting during that period because I simply couldn't find any of the figures, because I rarely ever went to TRU. This was mostly from Bojack Unbound and onward I guess. The last series that was possible to find at large retailers like Target was series 15 with Cyborg Frieza if I remember correctly. After that series, Target no longer carried DBZ at least where I live.
I think a lot of Jakks DBZ stuff ended up on clearance at TRU and eventually sent back to the factory or destroyed. That's what makes finding DBGT Pan with the robot suit so hard to find. I vaguely remember seeing them in the clearance bin one of the rare times I went to TRU. And they weren't selling. TRU's prices were a bit high for that time period. I think Jakks 2-packs were $16 and individualy figures were $8 or 9. Someone who collects them MOC surely still has a sticker on one. I don't really remember for sure...

I used to buy everything from the Funimation website. I never had trouble finding anything and I ended up with every toy except Omega Shenron. I even had a single carded Orange Roshi, the rejuvenation chamber, Irwin series 11 Ss3 Goku, and Nova Shenron.

The Omega Shenron/kid Goku Battle for Freedom two pack is incredibly rare. i think it came out in 2007. By then I was already at an age where I wasn't paying attention to toys. big mistake on my part. The figure sells for hundreds loose now ! As a kid though I could never find a Time Machine. Me and my dad must have looked at 100 stores...never saw a single one and we didn't even have a computer, if Ebay was even a thing back then...

I was lucky enough to find the Omega two pack at a KB Toys. Man I miss that store. Much better than Toys R Us. They were a terrible company to work for.

You could walk out with armloads of Toybiz Marvel and Irwin DBZ and 80s toys from warehouse buyouts for next to nothing...those were the days. We had a "Toy liquidators" in Columbus Indiana that was amazing too! I payed 250 for a loose mint Omega and considered myself lucky. You guys are extremeley fortunate! |
