What's the deal with this model kit in particular? I know Teen Gohan was popular, but there must be another reason this model kit is so rare... I've never seen a picture of a boxed one. I've only ever seen a loose assembled figure for sale which I purchased years ago. Anyone have any info on this kit, or possibly know someone wanting to sell one?

Are you talking about this one? I have this random pic saved probably from ebay years ago. All 4 model kits from series 3 are on that top row. I think all of the Irwin series 3 model kits were pretty rare. I don't think series 1 or 2 sold very well, so series 3 might have been a short run possibly.

Yeah that's the one I'm talking about. I've never seen a picture of a brand new one in the box, whereas the other 3 from that series can be found sealed from time to time.

I'm not sure. I thought we had a checklist for the model kits on here, but apparently not. I dug through old pics I had saved, and it's definitely not the boxed one in this pic. I still remember that one was false advertising, because Buu Saga Gohan in blue gi is actually in that box.

Yeah the one you have pictured there is the older SS Gohan in the series 1 or 2 like you mentioned. There is also this one, which seems to be just an alternate cover for the same you you pictured because they have identical backs.

Funny you should say that. When I bought out the guys who bought a bunch of stuff from the Irwin auction after they went bankrupt, I ended up with a bunch of these. All are new and not put together in plastic bags but don't have boxes or instruction manuals.

And how many is a bunch? ;p
