It’s not an issue of liking or not liking the figures - it’s the business practices that I take issue with in this instance.

Mike, if you’re going to represent a big name company, it would be best to at least use some proper grammer.

“Well… I’M sorry if you guys don’t like THE old figures. I’M a designer at Jakks Pacific and OUR next line is going to be Dragonball GT figures.”

That’s how it should look, aside from the capitalized words to show where the corrections were made. It’s best to appear intelligent and professional when representing your company.

And I also agree that it’s bad business to advertise new molds, then slip in old molds instead, even if you did release the new molds afterwards. Even then, the only original molds are Goku and Vegeta, Kibitoshin’s head, and the retooling of the original Goten and Trunks figures. The rest are still old molds.

I’d rather wait a few more months for better molds than have repainted/retooled old molds now. But that’s just me.

Mike is talking complete crap…a representative of a company as large as Jakks would not speak so defensively and with such poor grammar…get a life buddy, you’re not fooling anyone.

well guys stop complaing im from Edmonton
( alberta,canada )and we aint seen anything from jakks yet. Mike if u really are with thme when the release dates for me town

Posted by: solaris at October 14, 2003 04:18 PM

People, Mike never said he was a representative for Jakks, just that he works for them. Being a designer and being a marketer are two totally different things. He probably has limited knowledge of the releases beyond the design aspect.

And Solaris, you make it sound like what Jakks is doing is OK simply because you can’t get a hold of the figures locally. That’s kinda selfish don’t you think?

Anyway, howabout sticking the topic.

Usually a release will say something along the lines of “final product may vary”, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. This is more along the lines of a bait-and-switch type of deal where you advertise and promise one thing, but offer another in it’s place. Sure, Jakks IS giving us the correct versions as well, but the damage has already been done. What about the people that don’t know that there are correct versions available, their left thinking they’ve been given the shaft, while Jakks can say “well, we did offer the figures we said we would, it’s not our fault you bought the wrong set.” These are some rather sleezy practices that they could be acountable for and should address directly.

Posted by: seanafuco at October 17, 2003 04:29 PM

how can you prove hes not from jakks

Posted by: josh at October 18, 2003 03:53 PM

The GT figures we have lined up include-

Small Goku with robot

Pan

Trunks

Dr Myuu

General Rilrudo

We might be cutting the Rilrudo figure and replacing him with a Baby figure. None of these are completely confirmed, but they are the most likely set to be chosen.

Posted by: Mike at October 18, 2003 11:52 PM

Anyone know when these figures will appear in Canadian Walmarts or toysrus’s??

Posted by: Trogdor at October 19, 2003 01:17 PM

pah. England doesn’t get ANY dbz figures. But if you know places where i can find them i would be most grateful; thankyou pleashe

Posted by: wibo at October 20, 2003 04:26 AM

Dur….. Uh im a worker AT duh.. JakkS paccific! And it takes us so FREAKIN LONG to make toys! And we cut to many toys from a seiries!

Posted by: Mitchell at October 21, 2003 03:55 PM

The Jakks goku/vegeta 2 pack is less than impressive with the exception of vegeta’s body which is fantastic but would be better if his arms were alittle shorter and had closes fists instead
The new paint on the Irwin re-releases is great and should be kept.
It is insulting to collectors to re-release old molds when origenals were promised
why not make the movie collection figures the same size as the normal line? That would be much better.
Rather than not making certain figures why not make the saiyins with changable heads like Bandai did. that way some could have a normal, and super saiyin and a super saiyin 2 head
The fact there has not been a final form and a maximum form Freeza or a Imperfect and semi-perfect form Cell figure is rediculous.
A FINAL NOTE: Jakks would be wise to have their designers actually watch the cartoon series so they do not repeat the mistakes of Irwin (goku’s hair facing the wrong way, non-super saiyin Majin vegeta) because then someone might have notice goku and vegeta do not fuse as super saiyins, and neither do trunks and goten

I’ll see if I can pass that on, although most likely nothing will come of it.

Posted by: Mike at October 22, 2003 07:40 AM

Jakks Pacific at first sounded like they were going to do great things, but all I see is OK figures. Irwin made a huge mistake with the way released characters and Jakks is following in Irwin’s footsteps. Why in GODs name would no one make a Super Saiyan 2 Gohan from the Cell Saga, I mean it’s only one of the biggest things in DBZ history, but instead lets make remakes of Trunks when he fought Cell and have the ridiculous looking haircut. Trunk’s hair was long and cool on the show, the toy hair looks ridiculous. The thing that pisses me off the most is why is there no Super Saiyan 2 for anyone, there is no Super Saiyan 2 Gohan,no Super Saiyan 2 Goku, ohh wait we made Majin Vegeta, but HMMM lets see Majin Vegeta went Super Saiyan 2, so lets piss everyone off by making him in Normal Form and Super Saiyan but not Super Saiyan 2. I dont care what anyone says Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta’s hair is a lot more defined than Super Saiyan 1 so dont say whats the point they look the same. Why arent the movie figures in 6 inch form either, why can the toys only kick forward, why not be able to do side kicks and round kicks. These are things people who make these friggin toys should look at. Sorry for writing so much but these damn companies piss me off when they do stupid crap like they are now.

Posted by: John at October 26, 2003 06:09 AM

Ok JAKKS! you give a bad name to dragonball z toys, what would make your toys better is to have things like removeable heads for the sayins, ect.. I saw the 2- packs of Art of fusion at wal- mart and the Trunks and Goten pack had a “s.s” gotenks to in it and it was the mold from irwins gotenks.

Posted by: Mitchell at October 27, 2003 12:14 PM

I hate to be mean but i really dislike the Jakks Pacific is making all of these figures. I liked Irwins alot better. I mean the kid buu figure looks like a little ethiopian kid or something. And the SSJ Gotenks w/ Kamikaze ghost, that is the worst looking figure i have ever seen. Please if you are going to continue making DBZ figures, then at least do it right!!!

Posted by: Adam Allen at November 3, 2003 12:54 PM

i like the irwin ssj gotenks mold better than the jakks series 12 mold.

Posted by: alex at November 5, 2003 01:11 PM

I think that the Vegeta figure in the Art of Fusion 2 pack is the biggest piece of crap ever. Was the person who made the mold smoking crack that day. The head is a frigging joke. I think the S.S. Goku in the pack was pretty decent, but The Vegeta… come on, go back and do it right.

Posted by: Hotlunch Johnny at November 8, 2003 09:40 PM

the vegeta and goku in the fusion pack suck. though the trunks and goten look pretty cool. they are all i need to have all the charachters in dbz. so im going to go to wal mart where i saw them and buy them. does anyone know ho much the set costs?

Posted by: jason killer at November 9, 2003 09:31 AM

ok?? plezzzzz?
