Merchandise

Under merchandise I think there should be a mention that Bandai in America released a toyline for the movie from April, to May of 2009. There should also be a mention of Ayumi's Hamasaki's Rule CD Single, with the cover drawn by Akira Toriyama, the author of DragonBall. Thanks in advance. {{subst:unsigned}}

Reliable Sources or the toy line? and the single doesn't need mentioning. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 21:09, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think an online store selling figures would be enough of a source. I got the release dates for the figures from the DragonBall Evolution Posterzine. Damnedfan1234 (talk) 18:55, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In general, we avoid using stores for sources except as a last resort. What is the "posterzine"? That sounds more like an appropriate source? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:28, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Posterzine is a small magazine released by Viz Media to celebrate the release of the movie. The contents in it are mostly just posters of shots from the movie. But it features some articles, mainly interviews with Chatwin, and Marsters, but one of the few articles was about the toyline being released in May of 2009 (I said April because members on message boards said they've purchased them before the May release). The figures do exist (while I've never actually seen them), Anime News Network had a skin promoting the launch of the line. I think Bandai may have done a press release. I can try to dig that up.

Cool. Sounds like the Posterzine is a reliable source for noting the line of toys, if it mentions it. Just need the basic details of the magazine. Or Bandai's press release if available. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 22:22, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.action-figure.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=24479&theme=Printer Good enough to be considered a reliable source? Damnedfan1234 (talk) 19:47, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph Structure

The opening paragraph is good, but the second paragraph: "Justin Chatwin was cast as Goku, and James Marsters portrays Lord Piccolo, the antagonist of the film. A video game of the same name was released on March 19, 2009 for the PSP."

What's up with that? Horrible. What's that you say? "if you don't like it, than fix it instead of complaining here". Yeah, I agree except that I don't really know what to do with it. I think that the video game should have it's own section or to be only mentioned in the merchandise section. The sentence stating the roles should be taken out completely and a statement like the following should be added to the first paragraph: "staring Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, and Chow Yun-Fat" --FUNKAMATIC ~talk 16:31, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a space between Dragon and Ball

To the unqualified creators of this movie. Remember that. 97.118.63.76 (talk) 22:20, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
