It has officially started!!! I’m so excited! I’m at work all day,, but I’ll have my first theme up later tonight! Looking forward to your contributions
Don’t know if I’ll be able to participate this year, but i may have one or two half finished stories collecting dust on my hard drive, so we’ll see. Looking forward to what everyone else produces regardless.
Wow! It’s hard to believe I’ve been running this blog for nine years already… and still going strong after all that has happened in the recent few years! Where did the time go?
Thank you all for your ongoing love and support for this blog, me, and ofcourse K18.
I gave the blog a refreshing look to start the year off right.
*Special Bonus Post Coming Tomorrow! Don’t miss it!*
And so we arrive at the final day of Advent and the final figure of the Funko Dragonball Z Advent Calendar. Any final guesses as to whom it might be?
Go ahead, I’ll wait…
*rips open the packaging*
Oh, wow.
I know I’ve given Funko a hard time for this calendar. Retreading the same figure seven times, giving us repeats when we could have gotten extra characters (no Yajirobe, Korin, Kame, Mr. Popo, or even Bulma—heck, I’d have taken the HFIL twins or Princess Snake), the poor craftsmanship and problematic paint apps—and those criticisms still stand—but this figure makes the whole set worthwhile. Gather the seven dragonballs and behold in all his glory, mighty lord Shenron!
This Pocket Pop is amazing. The green is vibrant, the expression whimsical, and the antlers make him look like a reindeer—perfect for Christmas.
Yes, there’s some misalignment of the assembled pieces, most noticeable around back, but the figure makes me smile. It feels solid with the exception of the whiskers, which are somewhat flexible.
And the trademark info is on the bottom of the base, where it should be.
Thanks, Funko, for ending this set in a way that leaves a great impression!
As I mentioned previously, and is now apparent, this set limited itself to characters introduced in the Saiyan Saga. Though it left out a few key players I’m sure many of us wanted to see, there’s room for further DBZ Advent Calendars in the future. That said, it Funko releases one next year, I hope it isn’t limited to the Namek Saga. I want my mini-Android 18. It would probably be the closest we get to a Marron figure in the near future, since those are so few and far between.
Tomorrow, I’ll try to pull off a group shot, though getting all these figures to stand may be nigh impossible. Come back then, and Merry Christmas.

Make your wish.
He’s smaller than I imagined.
Could you take the the explosives out of the androids’ bodies?…I want her to be truly happy.
