Hi, it has been a long time since I have updated, so here’s a big one. There are three sections to this update:
(1) New figures in France.
(2) Older DBZ products and toys in Italy.
(3) Me announcing that I am selling a TON of DBZ figures on ebay.
(1) Giochi Preziosi has just released new figures in France. They have the AB Groupe logo on the cardboard package and they are using the old Kidz Biz (UK) packages. Kidz Biz of the United Kingdom is now owned by Jakks Pacific, so it makes sense that the old packaging would be available. Giochi Preziosi is rereleasing older AB figures along with BRAND NEW figures. Several of you may recognize the Yamcha figure as the one I have been craving for two years ever since I missed the auction for the prototype on eBay France.
Here are pictures of several of the figures:
Series 1: Vegeta, Goten, Trunks, and Goku (not pictured: Piccolo and Frieza)
Series 2: Krillin, SS Gotenks, SS3 Goku, SS Gohan, (not pictured: Majin Buu and SS Gogeta)
Series 3: little Gohan, Goku, Raditz, and Chichi (not pictured: Piccolo and Korin)
Series 4: Bulma, Krillin, Goku, and Hercule (not pictured: Raditz and Yamcha)
(2) Italy also had some interesting items, these may be several years old, but still interesting to me at least. This is a huge list of items, so have fun!

(3) If you aren’t tired yet from looking at all those Italian products (I really hope you aren’t!), please check out my DBZ auctions on ebay. I’m having a Christmas sale and I’m going to be selling about 80% of my Dragonball Z collection which includes many rare figures like the Toy Fair exclusive 1 of 100 Vegeta figure MOC, Irwins, Jakks, Bandai, and AB figures along with several custom figures. Keep checking everyday, I’ll be adding new auctions all the time! Do buy it now so I can try to get the items mailed to you by Christmas!
