Dragonball Z Striking Z Figures make "Dirty Dozen" list
While I’m fully aware that this is supposed to be a bad thing, I think this is great.
The blurb on the site had the following to say:
Dragon Ball Z “Striking Z Fighters” series, Irwin Toys
Recommended Age: 4+
Description: A series of plastic action figures based on the violent anime cartoon program Dragon Ball Z.
Why we chose it: This figure encourages pre-schoolers to re-enact the fighting they see on the Japanese anime TV show Dragon Ball Z—which tops the Cartoon Network’s ratings. The Goku character comes with a “striking wall” and features “front kicking action!” The Trunks figure comes with “side kicking action!” and Piccolo comes with “double punch action!”
I’m really surprised that they didn’t pick something a little bit more violent… like the 9” Collectors edition figures. They’re pretty bloody.
As a side note, I’ll be going away for a while. My Striking Z figures encouraged me to commit a violent act, and I’m going to prison.
What’s that, Striking Z Piccolo? You want me to eat my neighbour…?
