Few names are as synonymous with the world of anime and manga as Akira Toriyama. As a Japanese manga artist and character designer, Toriyama has not only created some of the most beloved and influential series in pop culture but has also fundamentally shaped the global perception of anime and manga. His work, especially the […]
For over a year fans of Dragon Ball have wondered how Goku will defeat their greatest foe yet as Jiren appears to be unbeatable. With only a few minutes left on the clock time is running out for universe 7 and they need to find a way to beat Jiren and make their ultimate wish. […]
Goku has inspired a lot of fans over the years to keep trying, to keep training and to never give up. It’s a message which I think has made him the clear choice to be the main representative to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Japan decided to make Goku the main representative along side a host […]
It looks like Bandai / Tamashii Nations are taking a break from the Goku Figurts releases to bring us some new characters. The latest one to be teased is Buu another of the long awaited once villain turned Z Fighter. The pictures of Buu came along with the new Bulma figuarts toy and a new […]
It”s been a long wait for classic S.H.Figurts figures but we’re not only getting a S.H.Figuatrts Master Roshi but a long awaited Bulma too. The Bulma is based on cover art from Akira Toriyama, I think it’s from the original Dragon Ball series and might indicate that we’re a little closer to getting that kid […]
The S.H.Figuarts Dragon Ball line has been without a doubt the coolest DBZ toy line so far. The figures have the most articulation and and make just about any action pose. The only down side so far has been the selection. We’ve had so many Goku figures along with a lot of recolored versions and […]
As a twenty year or so fan of Dragon Ball I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited. The next arc of Dragon Ball Super looks to deliver what every fan wants, more fights, more diversity and more Broly. The clip is only 15 seconds long but they fit a lot of teasers into the […]
The S.H.Figuarts Dragon Ball toy line seems to be going strong as they keep bringing fans the characters they ask for. This time due for release in February we get a new highly detailed Super Saiyan Gohan figure. This is probably going to be the last time we see a Figurts kid Gohan figure, the […]
This is a new fan made live action Dragon Ball Z movie which looks to be the most professional looking one yet. It looks like they have gone for a very dark angle for this movie which I don’t think usually fits Dragon Ball but this movie seems to make it fit. Overall this is […]
It’s been years since Bandai first released their MG Goku kits, they are probably the two longed in print kits the Japanese company has ever sold and considering their how popular Gundam kits have been it’s a bit achievement for Dragon Ball fans. Currently about $25 on Amazon.com which is cheaper than the Figuarts Frieza and […]
This was first shown at SDCC 2016 on the Tamashii Nations booth. It’s the early pre painted Super Saiyan Goku from the Figuarts Zero line. With Dragon Ball Super we have stepped in a different direction to Super Saiyan 4 we we have jumped straight to the god modes so it’s nice to see them […]

At Japan Expo 2016 Tamashii Nations showed us just how articulated and dynamic looking the S.H.Figuarts and zero toy lines are. Below are image from the diorama they had on show.
The Dragon Ball S.H.Figuarts toy line has been a dream come true for DBZ fans, they are super articulated and detailed enough to look like they came right out of the comic. Unfortunately they are premium toys which are only for collectors. That’s why we only get a hand full of releases each year. That’s […]
Megahouse are making some amazing statues at the moment in their Dragon Ball Gals line. The next one appear to be Lunch from the original series. She’s one of the funniest and under used characters in Dragon Ball. One of the reasons for this was that while writing manga Akira Toriyama actually forgot about her. The […]
Thanks to some pictures from Japan Expo 2016 we have the first preview of some upcoming S.H.Figuarts characters.

He’s one of the most dangerous looking bad guys to appear in Dragon Ball since it’s creation. He looks like Goku, fights like Goku but is pure evil hence the name Goku Black. We know he’s destroyed worlds and has even managed to beat the Z fighters in at least one timeline. In a desperate […]
Following on from the massively popular Funko Pop Vinyl Dragon Ball series they are finally ready to release series 2. Where the first series focused on bringing us characters from the second series Dragon Bal Z this one brings us the iconic first incarnation of both Goku and Bulma from the first series. The first […]
The original Dragon Ball series which followed young Goku and his battle against the Demon Piccolo was pretty much flawless. Anime fan or not I’ve never met someone who has seen the original series and not loved it all. Then due to high demand came the Dragon Ball Z series which although was a sequel […]
When I first picked up this manga I thought it would be another random stand alone story from Akira Toriyama ,but I was so so wrong. This is one of the most fun mangas I’ve read in a long time. Take a look at Jaco the Galactic Patrolman on Amazon. The writing and artwork is very […]
This could be one of the most wanted Dragon Ball toys ever and we still haven’t seen Vegeta like this in the manga yet. It’s been something everyone has thought about since Goku went SSJ3 and from what I can remember we recently saw this in one of the DBZ games. Finally Super Saiyann 3 […]
The first Super Saiyan Trunks figure was one of the most popular in the Dragon Ball S.H.Figuarts series and Tamashii Nations are bringing him back. This one has been rumored for a while but at a recent toy show in Japan Tamashii Nations showed off a whole year or two of releases and one of […]
Tamashii Nations continue their mission to bankrupt every Dragon Ball Z fan with another amazing S.H.Figuarts Dragon Ball release. This time they have stepped back a few seasons and returned to the Frieza Saga. This is when Goku realizes he is the legendary Super Saiyan and kills Frieza for the first time. The best thing […]
When Dragon Ball Battle of Gods was released we didn’t have many toys to go with the movie. Most of them were capsule toys or statues. For Return of Frieza it looks like Tamashii Natiosn is making up for it with new toys for Goku, Vegeta, Frieza and now Jaco the Galactic Patrolman. Although I am […]
After three years of being one of the most wanted toys for any Dragon Ball Z fan we are finally going to get an official S.H.Figuarts Beerus toy. Over the years we’ve had a few custom versions of Beerus/Berusu but this one looks to be pretty much perfect. I’m not sure why it took Bandai so […]
Being the most popular character in the Dragon Ball Universe right now it looks like Vegeta will get a new toy in the S.H.Figuarts series. The new incarnation of the Saiyan Prince is a blue haired Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan from the Return of Frieza movie. Personally I’d have loved to see a Super […]
When this Goku first surfaced it looked like a custom or bootleg but this ultimate Goku figures is actually a Tamashii Nations Mexico Exclusive and wont be available outside Mexico. Although at the moment it looks like fans outside Mexico will find it hard to get one if we wait and see Tamashii Nations might […]
