You guys probably remember the god-awful Dragonball Evolution toys that were presented well before the film came out, and that they did not get anyone excited for the film-- they looked awful, and they looked like they played pretty awful, too.
But from that toy guru, the legendary Rob Bricken, comes word of two really awesome-looking 12” figures of the movie versions of both Goku and Piccolo . There's no two ways about it: these just look really nicely done. In fact, I had to stare at them-- particularly Goku's –for about ten minutes to convince myself that it was actually a figure, and not Justin Chatwin's face very nicely photoshopped under some obviously-plastic hair. Piccolo, who requires no hair, looks even better, perhaps by virtue of his less “normal human”-like appearance.
But Rob poses the important question: given how so-so the film was (even if it was still better than I expected), who would actually spend hard-earned dollars on merch related to the film, even if they look really good?
Would you?
No.
Though I admit they don't look half bad.
O i just remembered that i still have a burger king toy figure of (not)Goku which i was planning to torture, still wondering what his end will XD
Though... I don't see who would want to buy this. But whatever floats people's boats.

But holy smokes eye articulation!? That's insane to the max. I am absolutely loving the Mr. Bean one. I should go snatch that one right up <3
