Bootleg: X-Plus Super Majin Buu (13 inch)

New, a round of applause to anyone who can drop 3 digits on a figure without having that immense feeling of regret. You win. You have everything. But, to all my fellow poor people. I know you all are busy splitting your last bake bean under an overpass. I just want to let you know, "your important too." 

So, I bought this X-Plus Super Majin Buu PVC figure from Aliexpress. Not bad I must say. Not bad at all. I spent maybe about $40 when it retails at 80-100. The paint job looks great. Not really much you could goof. A few years ago though, buying a bootleg figure seemed to be something I was most afraid. Research for an online retailer would take weeks. Screening reviews and cross referencing them from different sites was a must. Checking out message boards and youtube video. Interrogating and waterboarding sketchy eBay sellers. I did it all (except for the last thing, kinda). But I don't even know what to say at this point. Like, bootlegs really aren't that bad when it comes to an alternative to buy a costly figures. And when I say figure, I'm talking mainly PVC. Don't worry you sweet little head over bootlegs figures with articulation, best leave that shit to a legit purchase.

Dragon Ball X KINTOU

I know its been a while since the last time I posted but I made a few Dragon Ball designs to get printed for my personal collection. I'm doing most of this through Zazzle.com but I might try and find a site that silk screens. Zazzle prints on cloths but they haven't let me down yet. I think so far they look pretty neat. Sucks I can't sell this loot to the public due to copyright issues but at least I can wear it myself. I'm kind of a Dragon Ball fan if you didn't know *wink* *wink*(this is when I give you the link to my DBZ blog: Kintou)  

For though, I really wanted to vent my frustration about the clothing line Billionaire Boys Club and their recent announcement of a Dragon Ball shirt collection (plz click the link). Yo! I have never liked BBC. Like, since they got on the scene I thought their stuff was dated and their designs were simple sketches traced in Adobe Illustrator without using the advance setting. Not to say they don't have a few dope pieces here and there. I found a decent look black crew neck sweatshirt at the thrift from them. But come on! This lukeware shit is what they come out with. You find some crispy looking DBZ shirt from a con or eBay for a much cheaper price then what their going to drop it for. Cuz really! Their going to tax the hell out of it for name sake alone. But I digress...

I've been trying to get more creative recently. Idk. I use to do more design work for fun when I was making $8.50 an hour as a temp for a chemical company. But now, my just fighting for time just to get some sleep. I know my wife feels the same way. Hopefully I'll have something else posted soon.
