Zak Katz Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'm still contemplating whether or not that DBZ was the end to my Dragon Ball. I rewatched all of DB and then DBZ as an adult and it still holds up. Having said that, I found it annoying that Goku must constantly improve or achieve a greater form to get even stronger. I rather him or anyone in the show train without the goal of becoming something new, instead of solely on the opponent at hand. I loved Goku becoming the legendary SS or Vegeta working non stop to become one as well. The Buu Saga for example, in the end vs Kid Buu, Vegeta had no chance to kill Buu, but knew he had to distract him in order to give Goku time for the shows signature ultimate attack. Now he'd pop a SSG and kill him, there's no max to their Sayin power (Yes I remember that Sayin comeback stronger after near death battles). I don't know maybe I'm being annoying not giving it a chance, but it seems like bad writing or laziness to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I have a lot of the Bandai Super Battle Collection figures, including most of the GT figures (I'm only missing Super Saiyan Goku); of the DBZ figures I have Super Saiyan Goku, Piccolo, Frieza, Cell, Super Saiyan Vegeta (but he has two right hands :/), Broly, Super Saiyan teen Gohan, Great Saiyaman (but his sunglasses are broken), Super Saiyan 3 Goku, Super Saiyan Vegeta (Buu Saga), Vegito, Super Saiyan Vegito, and a Goku that comes with 3 alternate heads (SS, SS2, SS3). I also have some of the Irwin and Jakks Pacific figures; unfortunately, some of the paint on my Burter and Nappa figures is chipped off and part of my Tien's foot broke off. :/ My (hypothetical) DBZ Minimates toylineWave 1Goku/PiccoloRaditz/GohanBulma/KrillinMaster Roshi/TurtleWave 2King Kai/BubblesYamcha/SaibamanTien/ChiaotzuYajirobe/KorinWave 3Vegeta/NappaKami/Mr. PopoBattle damaged Goku/battle damaged VegetaBattle damaged Gohan/battle damaged KrillinWave 4Frieza (1st form)/CuiZarbon/DodoriaBulma (Namek outfit)/DendeZarbon (second form)/MooriWave 5Captain Ginyu/Goku with scouter and evil expressionBurter/JeiceRecoome/GuldoNail/GuruWave 6Gohan (Saiyan armor)/Krillin (Saiyan armor)Piccolo/Frieza (2nd form)Vegeta/Frieza (3rd form)Super Saiyan Goku/Frieza (4th form)Wave 7Battle damaged Piccolo/Yamcha (with removable halo)Tien (with removable halo)/Chiaotzu (with removable halo)Chi-Chi/Ox KingDr. Brief/Mrs. BriefWave 8Cyborg Frieza/King ColdGoku (Yardrat outfit)/Vegeta (Badman shirt)Trunks/Frieza soldierSuper Saiyan Goku (Yardrat outfit)/Super Saiyan TrunksWave 9Super Saiyan Vegeta/Android 19Piccolo/Android 20Bulma (with baby Trunks)/YajirobeAndroid 17/Android 18Wave 10Android 16/Imperfect CellTien/Semi-Perfect CellKrillin/YamchaPiccolo/KamiWave 11Super Saiyan Goku (Saiyan armor)/Super Saiyan Gohan (Saiyan armor)Battle damaged Super Saiyan Vegeta/Ultra Super Saiyan TrunksPerfect Cell/Mr. SatanSuper Saiyan Gohan (Piccolo clothes)/Cell Jr.Wave 12Gohan (high school uniform)/VidelGreat Saiyaman/crookTrunks/GotenSuper Saiyan Vegeta (no shirt)/Super Saiyan TrunksWave 13Super Saiyan Gohan/Super Saiyan GotenGoku (with halo)/Chi-ChiYamcha (yellow suit)/OolongSupreme Kai/KibitoWave 14Krillin (with hair)/PintarSpopovich/YamuMighty Mask/Android 18Killa/JewelWave 15Babidi/DaburaPui Pui/YakonSuper Saiyan Goku/Majin VegetaBattle damaged Gohan/battle damaged Supreme KaiWave 16Super Saiyan 3 Goku/Fat BuuGohan (Supreme Kai outfit)/Old KaiGotenks/Thin BuuSuper Saiyan Gotenks/Super BuuWave 17Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks/PiccoloMystic Gohan/teen DendeSuper Buu (Gotenks absorbed)/TienGoku (with Potara earring)/Kibito KaiWave 18Vegetto/Mr. SatanSuper Saiyan Vegetto/Super Buu (Gohan absorbed)Battle damaged Super Saiyan 3 Goku/Kid BuuSuper Saiyan Vegeta (with removable halo)/battle damaged Fat BuuWave 19Goku (blue outfit)/UubTeen Trunks/teen GotenAdult Gohan/VidelPan/Bongo the RabbitNote #1: Yes, I know a lot of these match-ups might not canonically make sense, and some characters appear too frequently, but it was tough thinking up some of these wavesNote #2: Each of the Yamcha variants would come with Pu'arI like the pairings but I would tweak them just a bit.Wave 1 I would put Launch with Master Roshi, make her have alt yellow hair and have turtle as Master Roshi's stand.Wave 3 I would get rid of the battle damaged versions of the z fighters and replace them with Kaio Ken Goku w/Oozaru Vegeta, Oozaru Gohan and Piccolo suit Gohan.Wave 14 Replace Jewel and Killa with Supreme Kai and KibitoOther than that I would gladly spend money to get every single one of these characters. Who would you put in your hypothetical Battle of Gods and Resurrection of F waves?

I had completely forgotten about King Vegeta. He and Bardock would easily work as a 2-pack for the main line, too. I would of course welcome Minimates of the movie characters, too, but whereas most Saiyans could have both regular and Super Saiyan versions in one figure (alternate hairpieces and faces, like Zak suggested), other characters would need two separate figures, due to the Super Saiyan form being much larger (I'm looking at you, Broly).

MinnesotaIceman Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I want some DBZ MM Me too. I'd sell one of my kidneys on the black market for some DBZ 'mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceSimba Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 This is sort of off the ramp of minimates, but I didn't really know where else to ask this. To your knowledge, are there any current more affordable DBZ toys that are either the size of minimates or as affordable? I say this because when I was younger, Walmart and the like obviously sold DBZ merch for a relatively normal price. Nowadays, places like toywiz seem to have a large selection for 40 bucks and up for decent figures. I know the American market has fallen over the years, but surely there is something. I know Action 66 was mentioned, but that's just four characters. Thank you deeply in advance. theres these little statue things called WCF volume 1 and 2 they're 7cm and around 12 dollars from what ive seen then theres these things which are 3 1/2 inches tall they go by tamashii buddies and go for around 13 dollars but in terms of the same articulation and almost the same height as minimates it goes to action 66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh2382 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Thank you very much! I kind of figured that 66 would be the front runner, but the statues look great. Does anyone know how to find anymore info on Action 66? Is there talk of a second DBZ line? I really want DBZ mates. I can say I would buy all.

lopez888 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I bought some of those 66 figures a few months back, and didn't like them. There faces are a little weird and my Gokus arm broke off the ball joint with ease. I'm looking into getting my hands on some I-men versions.

AceSimba Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 i look from time to time if theres going to be a second wave for dbz 66 but i cant find anything, tho kamen rider has other waves so theres some hope of getting a second wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Super Minimates would be cool, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopez888 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Found these on instagram by Minimates_Junkie And from what I read these were made by BrobotC for someone else, correct me if I'm wrong. These are just awesome, Let's get these made DST I need every single character starting from DB to DBZS, yes even DBGT and everything else in between,movies, filler characters etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh2382 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 BroBot does such awesome work. I could look at his stuff all day. I wonder if DBZ or the like have ever been brought up by DST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Some filler characters might be cool to have (Garlic Jr., Icarus), but others we could probably live without (Mr. Satan's students who participated in the Cell Game, Gohan's teacher Mr. Shu, etc.) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopez888 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Garlic Jr and the spice boys, with transformed Garlic Jr would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh2382 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I agree with doing without certain characters, but certain movie characters and filler could be really cool. You could do a movie boxset with Transforming Garlic Jr, Janemba, Transforming Broly, Turles, and a fifth being possibly Cooler? It's tough to skim over others like Bojack.

lopez888 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Don't forget androids 13,14,and 15. You could even reuse Vegetas hair for Super Android 13. Friezas ancestor Lord Chill, there so many characters in the DBZ universe they could keeping this line going for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 A lot of the movies would work as box sets. Cooler's Revenge box set Cooler (with alternate parts to make his final form) Salza Dore Neiz Super Android 13 box set Android 13 Android 14 Android 15 Super Android 13 Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan box set Broly (regular, with a Super Saiyan alternate head and hairpiece) Broly (Legendary Super Saiyan) Paragus Shamo Bojack Unbound box set #1 Gohan (with alternate head and separate Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2 hairpieces) Bojack Zangya Bido Bojack Unbound box set #2 Bojack (second form) Bujin Gokua Doskoi Fusion Reborn Gogeta Janemba (first form) Janema (second form) Pikkon Wrath of the Dragon Tapion Hoi Hirudegarn (first form) Hirudegarn (second form) Battle of Gods Goku (with alternate heads and hairpieces for Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 3, and Super Saiyan God) Beerus Whis Resurrection 'F' Box Set #1 Goku (with alternate Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan head and hairpiece) Vegeta (with alternate Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan head and hairpiece) Golden Frieza Jaco the Galactic Patrolman Resurrection 'F' Box Set #2 Gohan (with alternate Super Saiyan head and hairpiece) Master Roshi (max power) Sorbet Shisami Dragon Ball: Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!! Abo Kado Aka Tarble (with Gure as one of those small static statues like Snarf, since she's short enough) Alternately, the two Bojack box sets could work as two waves (or as a box set and a wave separately); likewise with the Resurrection 'F' box sets.

Friezas ancestor Lord Chill, there so many characters in the DBZ universe they could keeping this line going for awhile. Yeah, my bad. I'm answering in a reserved way because lines outside of Marvel tend to fall within ten waves and some boxsets. But this is hypothetical, so I'm being goofy. I do prefer the method of "Transforming characters" over separating them due to being a great way to get both. A cool con exclusive could be SSJ2 Goku vs Majin Vegeta.
