Glad to hear there was something to console you at the end.
'Tis a shame when such consolation is the sort which brings a frown to many a dentist though.

Yeah, I know all about the all of those crossover items... I went to Tokyo last month and I saw a ton of items of the One Piece/ DBZ crossover... I even saw a UFO catcher full of Chopper Dolls dressed like DB characters.

Currious, what if that candy expired years ago? The Chopper figure looked neat though.

You've heard Lewis Black's joke about candy corn? That candy companies just recycle it every year?

My daughter like it & the gum. I've never dared try it or the gummy candy that comes with the DB/One Piece cross-over cards.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for shonen, but I'd probably enjoy having these.

The fusion dance is rather neat...but like you said, it's ultimately disappointing. I kinda prefer those DB/OP swapped outfit figures I've seen a while back.

That said, would it be possible to do an article for the Revoltech Kenshiro figurine next time? I'm interested in getting it.

It looks like Luffy shrunk drastically for the fusion, could he do that, being all rubbery and stuff? A fusion would've been really cool, but it probably would've had to be much taller than the figures in the pictures. Oooh, the candy looks yummy.

Yes, Luffy can shrink (under the right conditions). Very Happy

Actually, the thought of a fused Luffy/Goku is horrifying. The way both of them can put away food plus Luffy's rage for meat, they could probably de-flesh an entire herd of cattle or 2 before the fusion ended.

I've been waiting in vain for a review of the Seiya dolls. Yeah, they're not the easiest to come by & are expensive, but they are cool.

Laughing Kid Goku, you'd expect a lot with Luffy... now put adult Goku plus Luffy, and they could probably eat eight tons of meat in a few minutes.

Aw...I didn't think these would get a review. I think they're fine for what they are, cute little trading figures.

Actually, Luffy will wear something similar to that "marine" outfit Goku is wearing spoiler[in One Piece movie 10].

That's not very funny. Don't encourage people to be bullies.

These figures are interesting. A Dragon Ball and One Piece crossover. I'm curious to see other Shonen Jump crossovers.
