F*ck yes! I'm so happy they are releasing that version of the scouters, I honestly do not like the recent Bandai scouters because they aren't the same design as the scouters in the anime. And yes, I can and will use those for the headsets  hope you bought some in time, they sold out Dammit. Oh well, I'll score some from another store or eBay |

Love the Halo pics! I want to see more! Do you also collect Star Wars stuff? I think I recall seeing a bunch of SW Lego sets in some of your old collection pics. and I've gotta ask, what do you mean when you say you played OG Halo "semi-professionally"  |

What about the Medicom RAH Piccolo? Not sure if it's bigger than the IF Labs figure, but looks much nicer imo. Here's some reference pics I found on google   this head comes with the Medicom Vinyl Collectible Doll Gohan  |

Bran suggested in another topic to use an old toothbrush for scrubbing figures. That, along with some dish soap, worked great for me with some dirty figures that had tight spots which were hard to reach with a paper towel. I've also noticed that keeping my figures on a shelf in my closet has prevented dust from building up since that's not a heavily traveled area. I'd imagine a detolf would work just as well for preventing dust

Awesome I love the changes! I switched out the old list with your edited version. The only thing I didn't keep is the Yo Yo, I feel like that would fit better in another list for misc. Saga Continues items. I plan on making a list for the mini figures, and one for "other".

The pics on your site look great! I'll definitely use them for this list, and I'll make sure the list gives credit to your site. Thanks!

Irwin "The Saga Continues" Series"The Saga Continues" line of figures was Irwin's first 5" DBZ figure series. It consisted of Dorda and AB Super Guerriers re-releases and was launched in 1998 with the "Super Warriors" figures. The packaging featured vacuum formed blister packs on green, blue, black cards with SUPER WARRIORS written up the left side. On the back of the packaging, it only shows the AB figures. The 5 Dorda characters do not appear on the back of their own cards.
Wave 1
The figures were vacuum-packed to a backer card
Release Date: 1998
Super Saiyan Gohan
Janemba
Bardock
Super Saiyan 3 Gokou
Goten
Vegeta
Freezer
Gokou
Majin Boo
Piccolo (no cape)
I *believe* the Dorda re-releases were first released by Haschel Toys, because the copyright text on the back of the packaging mentions FUNimation, Toei Animation, and Cartoon Network, but on the Irwin versions, the back of the cardboard includes those three as well as Irwin Toys. I honestly don't know the history of these, as I hadn't started collecting yet (--Branjita), but I believe this is correct. Dorda Re-releasesRelease Date: 1998Haschel Toys versionsIrwin Toys versions (they made all 5 characters, the person who took these pics only had 4) In the year 2000, reissues of Dorda figures were available at KB Toys according to DBT, DBT considers them Series 3.
AB Re-releasesRelease Date: 1998Something very interesting and unique about these figures is that the colors on the characters actually match (or closely match) the original AB releases. This is the only Irwin release of SS Gohan in dark blue instead of medium blue, and Bardock in dark blue instead of medium blue. It's also the only time you could get Janemba from Irwin. In 1999, Irwin continued "The Saga Continues" series with Bandai Super Battle Collection and AB Super Guerriers re-releases. At first they reused the graphics from the "Super Warriors" line, but without those two words on the card. Then they started using a similar design that had pink and other colors added to the card that looked much fancier. These figures all featured a blister pack instead of a vacuum formed blister pack. We do not have photos of all of these, so we're only including photos when we have them.

1. There was a mail-away promo Goku in plastic bag that has often been incorrectly attributed as an Irwin Goku. It was a Bandai America Goku, and you can read about it here. 2. SS Goku that came with some sort of Pioneer VHS set that has the first DBZ video tape in it: Arrival. Could be a Bandai America figure instead of Irwin... 3. The JC Penney Christmas catalog three packs. These were mail order exclusives from their catalog. 4. The Saga Continues yo-yo Toy |
