New Dragon Ball Toys Review (Sent by BandaiUK).

This March sees the launch of a brand new range of Dragon Ball toys and Bandai have sent my boys some to have a play with. Suitable for age 4+ (blind bags 6+), the range includes blind bag miniatures, highly posable figures and super-sized Limit Breaker figures.

We've been sent Piccolo (Cape Version) and Krillin Dragon Stars figures, Super Saiyan Goku Limit Breaker and 2 x blind bag Super Collectibles.


Dragon Ball mini figures blind bags

The blind bag 5cm Super Collectible figures (rrp £2.99 each) contain 1 of 10 different Dragon Ball Super characters, plus a stand inside to display your figure.

Typically my boys both got the same figure - Hit. He is actually incredibly detailed for such a tiny rubbery figure, and the stand has good balance. No posability though.

The super-Saiyan-sized Limit Breaker figures (rrp £14.99) are 30cm tall, and each figure features a show-inspired design and has just five points of articulation.

Characters include Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Frieza, and 2 extra tall 33cm Broly Limit Breakers. This is a bit young for my kids, but ideal for younger fans who want an action figure they can be a bit rough with.

Dragon Ball Stars Series Krillin

The all-new Dragon Stars (rrp £19.99) are highly detailed and poseable 17cm figures, with 17 or more points of articulation.

The Dragon Stars are really quite rewarding for collectors, and each figure comes with a second set of hands and/or accessories. As ever, be careful removing and replacing hands, they are push-fit and very tight. Piccolo has 3 spare little hands, and his cape does remove if you are careful!

Krillin Bandai Dragon Ball Series 2 Collectible Articulated Figures

The figures balance really well, and Bandai reckon they have over 9,000 possible positions, so I think we have a few left to try.

Piccolo Krillin Bandai Dragon Ball Series 2 Collectible Articulated Figures

Available in a huge range including Goku, Vegeta, Gogeta, Gohan, Bardock, Piccolo, Broly, and Krillin.

Also available are Final Blast Super Saiyan Goku and Vegeta figures, which blast and spin ready for action (rrp £14.99 each), and the Spin Battlers Training Pack (rrp £4.99) with 13 collectible characters and battle stands, the Spin Battlers Action Pack (rrp £9.99) with two character figures and battle stands (8 characters to collect) and the highly articulated 12.5cm Evolve Action Figures (rrp £9.99).

The brand new Dragon Ball range is available at Smyths, Argos, B&M and Game. For a different review, and a great Son Goku dress up, check out Whinge Whinge Wine

    1. The little Hit figure was in the blind bag Super Collectibles - so you can't pick which you get. I'm not sure that these are very readily available any more, because this is an old post, although I've had a quick look online and there are still a few around.

    1. Hiya. SorryI didn't get back to you earlier - I've moved home. I've had a good look around and you really seem to be limited mostly to second hand markets for these figures nowadays. Ebay UK has a couple, and the prices really vary, so shop around and maybe even wait if there are only expensive models available when you first look.
