Her eyes aren't sharp enough, it doesn't look like she hates me

I definitely do not dislike this figure, but I prefer the way that she looked in the series.

Since I cannot afford to spend money on figures I guess that it really does not matter what I like. At least I can still look at the pictures.

Goddamn sold. I wish DQ5's Flora and Bianca, or Manya and Minea from DQ4 could get this treatment.

So the "Bust Upper" was real?!

Looks good. As usual, figures are expensive, and I don't care enough to pay that much for one. Would have been cool if her design in Super was also changed, but whatever.

I don't think the pose accounts for the apparent upward motion of those upgrades (unlike with the bunnysuit Bulma figure) and the proportions on those legs and hips looks very strange to me.

I like her normal, smaller bodylines, too, so I'm not a fan of this one. I am interested to see how the tube-top Bulma figure turns out.

Personally, I'd prefer an action figure that portrays her as more badass than sexualized. One of my favorite aspects of Android 18 is that, while she's obviously a very beautiful and attractive woman, she was never really fanservice fuel in DBZ itself. She still got to kick Vegeta's ass. THAT's hot for me, not exaggerated breasts and butt.

She slayed me. I had to be revived with the dragon balls.

Yay for oversexualizing one of the very few female fighters in the Dragon Ball franchise, figure makers. Thanks.

I have to say...Android 18's reveal of her bust size has upped her beauty quite a bit. Wink

Her outfit is the same as her appearance in Dragon Ball Z but the black tank top...

That's not a tank-top, it's a long-sleeved shirt. Those stripey sleeves are part of it.

And the neckline of this alternate version is so low and wide it makes the apparent construction of the shirt very weird. I expect better theoretical tailoring in my boobie figures!

It's hard to say how a guy like Krillin managed to attract her attention.

By not exploding her.

Not mutually exclusive.

"Sexualized" is such a weird concept. Being pretty is "sexualized". That's how human sexuality works.

They aren't "action" figures, but there are some other nice ones, too.
