I am SLAMMING the pre order button, these are PERFECT.

So! As I mentioned in my prior post, a Dragon Ball themed amusement park has been announced, and I am using this as an excuse to make a series of relevant posts.

A few years ago Universal Studios in Japan offered a special attraction for Dragon Ball fans, “Dragon Ball Z The Real 4-D.” It was one of those short movies where the theatre interacts with the film by hitting the audience with water/air blasts/ whatever to ‘enhance’ the experience. You can find the 3D animated video from the attraction on youtube and I recommend you do, it’s worth a watch. But more importantly, they released a bunch of merch you could only get in the park!

….or on ebay, if you’re me and couldn’t manage a trip to Japan.

My favorite item?

Behold the glory of my Frieza… cup? You strap him on to your body and sip the fluids.

Mine has a busted horn, these things happen when you buy used. I intend to repair him some day. Wait, Muffuletta, did YOU break him?!

How do you drink? Why, you suck on the straw of course! Which happens to be his tail.

Yeah.

Well, I have done extensive research (by which I mean read a lot of naughty fanfic) and can confirm he is okay with this as long as you don’t bite!

Will this smug guy be available to buy in the new park? Probably not. But he’s relevant and so I am finally posting about him after meaning to for… literally years. Whoops.

So… in light of the announcement that a Dragon Ball theme park is being built, I will be doing a series of posts related to the topic on this and @uglydbzmerch- mainly discussing things like the Universal Studios Japan Dragon Ball collab (which I own some merch from, and will be sharing), for example.

Ya see, your mod, Maji, is a major park enthusiast (with a particular love of rollercoasters). I am extremely lucky in that I live in SoCal and get to go to Disneyland/California Adventure, Knott’s Berry Farm, and Universal Studios Hollywood somewhat frequently.

My enthusiasm would be through the roof for the upcoming park- two of my favorite hobbies coming together!- except for the choice to build it in Saudi Arabia. But I still figure this would be a good place to start a series of posts.

Here’s some of the concept art for the upcoming park to start us off-

And the announcement here.

The King Cold SH Figuarts looks absolutely amazing. I need him but he is way out of the budget at the moment…

I am overdue sharing a collection update and am in fact in Little Tokyo buying more merch even as I post this, but as a taste check out this ridiculously cute Orange Piccolo charm I got from @conceptcatart !

Heh, there are no words for the sheer joy I felt picking this up from the post office the other day :D I ordered the sexy pillowcase (it’s two sided and so gorgeous!!!! Folded over here as my table is too small to display his full size) and print and am beyond delighted with both. After thinking it over I decided I am gonna buy a second body pillow so I can have both my new Piccolo and my Frieza out at the same time (I believe in living my best life) so that will be ordered within the next week or so. And the print! Look at that shiny booty- I mean, beauty! It’s getting framed and hung up in a place of pride on my wall. Even the shipping envelope is gonna get displayed somewhere because look at it!!!

Thank you so much @conceptcatart for the service you provide for the Piccolo fan community!!!!

(Even Muffuletta couldn’t resist Orange Piccolo)

Picked this gorgeous Dabura up from the post office today and he is perfect. Huge, heavy, intimidating and really great details in the sculpt. So glad one of my all time favorite side villains finally got a figure of this quality!

Found this cheesy Santa hat at the grocery store today and knew what I must do.

“Oh ho ho ho! Merry Christmas! Now die!”

(Blame @chumby4life for partially inspiring me with that amazing Santa hats on figures post)

Also this picture has a distinctly cursed aura.

Incredible photos from NYCC, thanks to autobot-sonic on BlueSky for letting me share them here!

These upcoming Ichibansho figures are SO cute, I want them all but especially Piccolo Jr (of course), the announcer, and Chichi…
