Hello Android 18/K18 fandom!

I have a question for everyone. I want to start writing fanfictions. I never have done it before so does anywhere have any tips for me. Also where should I write it? Is it good to write it in just notes or is there is special place for it? I’m very shy to I’m nervous to write anything but I have so many headcanons I would like to write! I’m not confident in my writing so any tips are great!Anyway thank you for readin

Fanfiction.net and archiveofourown.org are popular posting spots. You could publish directly to tumblr as a note or to one of those sites and publish the link to tumblr. Don’t worry about any perceived quality issues at first. Just do your best, work hard, gain experience writing, and have fun. @chestnutisland has links to numerous k18 stories. Check out her blog, and you can see how other authors link theirs.

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.

He’s smaller than I imagined.
