The Genuine Dragon Ball MP3 Nugget.

i remember when wade got riled up and excited from sexy speaker's auxiliary mode

now he just goes "yeah yeah" like a worn out husband

[CallMeSonja]

I appreciate that it’s at least a dragon radar, that’s not a bad shape, they could’ve completely copped out and just make it a dragon ball with the stars being the buttons tho lol

Quick little add on to this: The Banpresto branding means this was very likely a crane game/UFO Catcher prize that you'd have to win!

Ok, I have to give them some props. The aesthetic for it is perfect. The power light being a blinking orange light just like the show, and putting it under the plastic so it appears and disappears like the show are primo choices. With a bit more money in development, this could could be both an amazing prop and a good mp3 player. Personally, I would have made the knob the play/pause/skip control that you use turning/pressing/moving the knob in different ways, that way the face of the radar can be cleaner.

That's a prize from a claw machine

Somehow it’s still better than the Barbie nugget.

2:38 The illustration of the dude bopping is literally saying "when using your earphones, please do not raise up the volume. Exposing your ear to loud sounds for an extended period of time may have health impacts on your ear. As for the others, it's not expose it to high temperatures, or try to disassemble it with a screwdriver. xD

Another thing is that this says ICHIBAN KUJI on the box. In Japan, there is something known as a kuji (which literally means lottery), where you pay a small price (varies per lottery, but they're not pricey if I remember correctly), and then you get a voucher-like ticket with a letter on it, and they'll give you a prize that corresponds to your letter. These types of prizes sometimes flood the Japanese second-hand market, especially by people who buy multiple of those at once, trying to get the special rare ones.

Holding it kinda sideways might be intended since thats how they usually hold it in the show when hunting for the dragon balls. I guess a singular point to the nugget for being true to the show but minus like 5 for not even naming it the "Dragon Radar" on the computer lol

[idehogo]

It’s actually not that bad, for a kid in the 2000s that loves dbz this would be the best Christmas gift they’ll ever ask for just needs new earbuds

[jekser]

ok, the idea of a Dragon Ball MP3 Player in the shape of the Dragon Ball Radar kinda kicks ass, and the thought of Frieza using this to listen to "F! MAXIMUM THE HORMONE" tickles me

[JBOboe]

A lot of people say this was a crane machine prize, but it was actually a lottery where you would buy a ticket to win from a selection of prizes, with the better prizes being rarer.

[witchfynder_finder]

Seeing that it was FOR USE AS PRIZE IN JAPAN ONLY honestly immediately explained everything about this nugget. Of course it's only 128MB, the thing is free

1:50 This is the first time I have ever seen Wade being careful when opening something

[HIDDENVR]

That theme song will be embedded in my head forever

[CaptJABRONIE]

Turns on, doesn't have an exploded battery, buttons work, led works.

Goku really is the strongest

Based on the shot at 6:37, it looks like the knob is made of the main knob housing and then a little plastic piece that inserts into the knob and screws down to secure it. My guess is they _did_ originally intend for it to be functional, probably attached to a potentiometer as some kind of volume control, but decided that it was too expensive for one reason or another (maybe the chip they were using didn't have enough input pins, and a multiplexer would have added too much cost/software complexity?). Rather than retooling and manufacturing a new set of functionless knobs (or, worse, an entirely new housing), they printed those little plastic pieces to screw into the spot that _would_ have been used to secure the pot board and hold the knob in place.

What's next, DankPods reviewing a Sailor Moon cassette player? (yes those did exist and yes DankPods did review some retro tech)

[MUSIC]

at this point there must be an mp3 player for EVERYTHING on this planet

[WanArk]

Despite growing up with Z, it was interesting that Wade knows the beginning melody for Makafushigi Adventure, and as a Dragon Ball fan, I needed this mp3 player.

[OrlandoTorresOfficial]

I like to believe that Wade just has an entire room in is house dedicated to storing all of these novelty mp3 players.
