Have you ever bought a DBZ product that just didnt seem right? Well, I've decided to bring several of the fakes to light.
I'll try to give details about which country they are available in, what to look for and what the products name is. Hope it helps some people - I'll also be trying to post some pictures of dodgy products but I have to wait till I can get my didgital camera back.
  DRAGOON BALL GT ACTION FIGURES - CHEAP, NASTY TOYS.. Product 1 - DRAGOON BALL GT ACTION FIGURES:
WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
1. ACTION FIGUES - The action figures will be poorly assembled, the joning seams sometimes gaping always visible. Hairstyles will be rubbery and fake and will sit oddly on the head because they are made from different materials. The action figues will have metal screws in the back of them.

2. LABELING - There will be only three things written on this products packet and they are a choking hazard warning, a made in china sticker and a Dragoon Ball GT heading (note double 'o'in the wrod 'dragoon')

3. IMAGES - The images on the cardboard behind the action figure will contain not only DBGT images but also a DBZ pictures of a young Trunks in the top left corner and picture of DBZ Goten in the top right hand corner.

4. PAINT - The action figures have dodgy hand painted jobs that are sometimes scratched or have splattered paint on them. The colours of the paint will be incorrect tone or the wrong colour completely.

WHAT DOES THIS PRODUCT LOOK LIKE?
The action figues come in a red and yellow package with DBGT AND DBZ images behind it. The action fugures are around 14 cm high.
So far the only action figues that I know of are:

1. Golden Bebi Vegeta Oozaroo (has golden fur and face, red eyes, his shoulder armour is a light blue/green colour with4 red stripes. His boots and gloves are also this blue/green colour and his chest armour is a light peuple. Has a gold tail seperate in the box)

2. Bebi Vegeta (Silver hair pink eye brows, a light whitish/creamish face. Has the typical Bebi Vegeta blue suit on, has gold boots, gloves and shoulder armour - shoulder armour contains 4 pink stripes - and has white chect armour. Has light blue eyes)

3. SSJ4 Vegeta (his hair looks more like Goku's and is a spikey red colour, red eyebrows, black pupils, has the black fur collar thing and has red fur on him. Has purple gloves and shoes and has blue jeans on. Has a red tail.)

4. SSJ4 Gogeta (Has brown tail and hair and arm fur but has a lighter brown fur in his abs. Has black eyebrows and has a red collar and has the black gogeta vest with orange around the arm holes. Has white pants and blue boots and a blue sash.)

5. A Red Ribben Man who is so badly done that I cant tell who it is meant to be, looks a little like android 17. (Has greenish white skin, long black hair behind his ears, an orange scarf, Blue golves, boots and shirt with brown britches also has a beige part to the britches and beige wrist bands. Has a beige Red Ribben belt buckle and has light blue pants on.)

6. Extras in the pack are two dragon balls, a large pink dragon ball and a small yellow one.

WHERE IS THIS PRODUCT AVAILABLE?
So far the only confimed places are China, America and just lately - Australia. There is also some of these cheap rip offs available in Japan.

  DRAGON BALL Z GAME CARDS These cards are available almost anywhere - shops, vending machines, market stalls.
WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE:
1. Have less bright colours.
2. Have the exetremly ultra mega rare rarity rating to make them more appealing.
3. The DBZ chracters on them are either poorly drwn copies or overy done manga copies or are screen shots you have never seen before.
4. look for the correct Dragon Ball Z label - yellow and red colouring. If it does not have this then it could be fake.
5. Energy attacks or physical attacks or defences that you have never heard of before or tht are rediculously named.

WHERE IS IT AVAILABLE?
They can be bought in any country, from china to india, to america to Australian.

  FAKE DBZ PLUSH TOYS These products are also available pretty much everywhere and in most countries.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
1. Cheap filling/stuffing - pretty much anything but cotten.
2. Are made from cheap and nasty material -eg. cheap polyester. Have cheap felt hair and often have poorly sewn on faces or painted on faces that may look nothing like the real character.
3. May have no tag.
4. Will have wrong coloured clothes or wrong colour tones for clothes.

Mostly these are available at market stalls or from carnivals. May have a cheap name such as Dragon Ball Y or Dragon Ball X.



I will have more comming as soon as I can get more information from my sources on these dodgy products. If you have info on one you would like me to post please email it to me and I will post it.
