So a couple of weeks ago I purchased two figures from Bandai's Ultimate Figure Series via eBay: Piccolo and Super Saiyan 3 Goku. Both figures are the Japanese Bandai releases (not the Jakks Pacific versions) and are the versions with the interchangeable hands.

My Piccolo, for whatever reason, has green trim around his packaging. Checking online, every other release in the line only ever had orange. Digging deeper, even Piccolo has a version with orange packaging.

Is the green package the rarer version? I only paid $30.00 for him (which isn't much more than I see the one with the orange package going for.) There are also very few images of the green package online.

I unfortunately can't take pictures, so I found images online for give a visual for what I'm talking about.

I hope someone out there has some knowledge on this series.

Hmm I don't know. I haven't seen the green packaging before.

However, you are lucky to have two (let alone one) of that version of the figure. The one with the different heads is much harder to find than the basic version. I spent several years trying to find it and never could.

Really? That's pretty cool to know.

If you're still interested, go on eBay and search "Ultimate Figure Series Piccolo". There's one from Japan and one from Italy and they both have interchangeable hands. I wish I could link them, but new members can't post links.
