After numerous years of no mainstream product available, the Dragon Ball franchise is about to be widely available at all major US retailers with the return of various lines of action figures. The biggest reveal is none other than the Dragon Stars series of Dragon Ball Super figures by Bandai America. These are highly articulated figures in the style of Marvel Legends at around 6.5″ in size and include a “Build a Figure” piece with each figure. The first wave includes the following figures:
- Goku
- Super Saiyan Goku
- Vegeta
- Super Saiyan Vegeta
- Lord Beerus
- Freiza
- Shenron (Build a Figure)
These figures will be available later this year. Check out the images after the jump!
Toy Fair 2017 - Dragon Ball Super Dragon Stars Highly Articulated Figures by Bandai America
Finally!! They all look great!
The BAF Shenron is cool, but I'll stick with Figuarts.
That's unexpected! Some of these look nice, and at the price point I wouldn't feel bad about doing custom paint jobs
They look great. This line will never have the character selection the Figuarts line has, but as someone just getting into the franchise I'll get these. The only thing I'm not a fan of is that you'll need to get both the normal and super saiyan forms of Goku and Vegeta to build Shenron.
Any plans to put up a gallery of the other offerings from the line?
I don't mind Vegeta scowling since it's Vegeta, but I wish the regular Son Goku had a calm/carefree/less intense face. Also, I feel like Shenron should have the dragon balls assembled at his base!
lol shenron is so tiny though
He's definitely small, but I think he's a good size. Any bigger and they probably would have had to get rid of their extra hands.
I'm really curious to see what they would include in Shenron's place if the line continues past these six figures, and I hope it does.
I want to support this wave just so we can get a BAF Nappa in the next one, and maybe Android 16 in one beyond that.
I'll be keeping my eye on this line. If they make a Krillin, I'm in.
Look likes Bandai doing better with line which has no need for accessories, lol.
Like with the Power Rangers line, I'm not fan, just like some few designs here and there. I might get Beerus, but what I'm really watiting for is android 18.
Ugh, why am I contemplating paying $120 for Shenron right now...
SH Figuarts has these beat by a mile. But that Shenron...
To be honest? I actually prefer some of these to the S.H. Figuarts line. Depending on how much they'll be in Canada, I'll probably collect the whole line.
I just hope they also will mak Krillin.
If you're a fan or a collector then you will get these. I know I will.
Of course the Figuarts line is better, each figure cost $60! For its price point, this line is phenomenal. The figures look great, I love that they add super Saiyan and regular versions of both goku and vegeta. I like that they styled them similar to the marvel legends figures which have always been a huge hit, and I think the Shenron baf is awesome looking. I know I'm getting every single one of these. And I'm gonna build me that damn Shenron! Lol
Actually they do come with extra hands. I just got a Super Saiyan Goku from toys r us and it definitely has extra hands.
