Wow, I didn't know much about DBZ toys in Japan, so I honestly thought these were the Super Battle Collection figures that later got imported over here before Irwin started making their own toys. My apologies for misunderstanding: compared to the SBC figures, there's no contest. I'm kind of surprised that the sculpt is that good, though; that's some fantastic work for a 1991 vinyl.
Yeah, I really wish they went with a different name for this series..."Super Collection" is just...generic. Plus the confusion sets in with the SBC figures.
The SBC figures made in Japan are actually quite nicely done (and the box art is WAY better). Once production moved to Bandai Asia, the lameness set in. The figures beyond Broly are very poorly made until the end of the series pretty much.
it is pretty detailed...which is quite nostalgic because toys and action figures of today are not...not to say that in the past that all toys were exact replicas of what each individual show portrayed but a lot of things in what we consider the present are just (excuse my bluntness) crap...any who...good video and it has different "flair" and videography style versus your sentai reviews...congrats...well I liked it thank you for sharing
I totally agree. Most of the recent Dragonball toys look incredibly overdone. The thick layer of what appears to be mascara on newer figures totally ruins what might be a decent sculpt underneath it.
Lawlz... but more to the point, it's a very nice figure, though the stickers that came with it were both the logo for the Turtle School rather than North Kai, weren't they?
Exactly, that's what i thought. After he died, he trained with the North Kai, and started to wore the turtle symbol in the from of his Gi and the Kai symbol on the back.
looks kinda crappy

But yeah, Super Collection > SBC. ^^

Yeah, which is kinda weird since the SBC Goku has the Kaiou sticker...and both figures came out around the same time.
