This newest selection of offerings is from Banpresto’s Ichiban Kuji division, and includes one of the only figures of a kid Vegeta ever made! Bandai made at least two, 1” kid Vegeta figure’s many years ago, but this new Banpresto release will be a whopping 12cm, (4.5”) tall!
Also available in the set is a great looking, 16cm tall Bardock diaorama, a 21cm tall Baby Goku in Saiyan space pod, Several Saiyan Scouter wall mount items, Space Pod tape dispensers, Dragonball pillows, and even some Saiyan tails! Check out the Banpresto, Ichiban Kuji site to see more pictures and information, HERE

This one comes to us strait out of the blue! Medicom only just released their astonishing Piccolo figure recently, and Medicom Son Gohan and Super Saiyan Son Goku still have not yet been released… So when these pictures of a Dragonball era, kid Son Goku popped up today, it was most unexpected - but greatly welcomed! So far, he looks fantastic! The inclusion of Goku’s Nyoi-Bô, and the Kinto-Un are two especially nice additions. Not quite sure just how big he is, but he looks fairly sizable!
Also interesting about this release is that fact that Medicom is choosing to release Dragonball figures along with their Dragonball Z characters! Will More first series characters follow? The mind boggles at the possibilities! Will they include GT characters in the mix as well? Only time will tell!
This incredible scoop comes to us from our friends at the Hobby Fighter blog!

Images of this new and, HUGE figure from Banpresto have popped up today! Though it’s slightly hard to tell in just this one photo, it looks like at least some of the sculpt has been recycled from the 36cm tall Son Goku and Super Saiyan Son Goku that Banpresto put out earlier this year. Other parts, like his hands and head of course, are all new. No sure yet about a release date, but hopefully this new guy is an indication that Banpresto will continue to make Dragonball figures in this scale! Having Dragonball figures this tall is a dream come true for many collectors!

Medicom Piccolo is out now in Japan! This is the second Dragonball figure that Medicom has released, and at least two more are on the way. Back in November we first stated to get word about all the problems with the rubber chest pieces on the Medicom Son Goku - hopefully this new Piccolo will not be plagued by the same factory errors! So far, he could not be described as anything short of absolutely gorgeous… With his removable cap and cape - this looks to be one of the most accurate and articulated Piccolos of all time!

This picture popped up today on the fantastic Hobby Fighter blog, and the figures in this series look a great deal like Bandai’s Dragon Heros - but are they? It appears that each package comes as a two pack, with one Dragonball hero and one Dragonball villain, so that fans can re-enact the legendary battles of the show! Sets will include Super Saiyan Vegeta with Buu, Piccolo with form 3 Freeza, Super Saiyan Trunks with Perfect Cell, Super Saiyan Goku with Super Saiyan Broly, and Son Goku with Final Form Freeza! Pretty good selection of characters, and certainly any new figure of a rare form of Freeza is always welcome. Keep checking back for information on these as it becomes available!

I’m fairly certain that many of these are re-released items, but that doesn’t make them any less cool! Especially neat is Goku’s Nyoibo! This would also be a great opportunity to pick up a scouter for yourself if you don’t already have one. Not sure if these items are coming out to in someway go along with the Sparking Neo video game, (Especially since that came out some time ago.) but for whatever reason that they may be popping up, these will make excellent stocking stuffers for that special Dragonball fan it your life!

This is the 5th release in a series of extremely hugh quality releases from Shueisha! That has got to be one of the most striking figures of Super Saiyan Goku that I have ever seen in my life - speaking purely as a sculptor, that thing is gorgeous! It’s made all the more so by the inclusion of the Porunga Dragon in the background, and scenery of a Planet Namek about to blow! I expect that this will not be easy to find, but would certainly be a crowning jewel for anyones collection when found!

Bandai’s Realworks series has long been a fan favorite, and judging from the pictures above, it would appear that series 6 will not be a disappointment! This new volume will include 6 new figures in all, though I’m not sure if the Vegetto comes with that separate arm attachment, or if perhaps it’s saying that two separate versions of Vegetto will be released. Keep an eye out for them!

Just imagine what that fusion would look like! This news comes to us from the Hobby Fighter Blog

Dragonball Live-Action Movie Retitled "Dragonball Evolution"
For a great selection of Dragon Ball action figures and collectibles, check out fine sponsors YesAnimation.com, HobbyLinkJapan.com, TFAW.com, SuperheroToys.com, Alter Ego Comics, BigBadToyStore.com, WhiteWizardToys.com, CornerStoreComics.com, ToyWiz.com, and MonsterIslandToys.com.
It would seem that the title of the upcoming Dragonball movie from 20th Century Fox has been changed to “Dragonball: Evolution”.
This comes as little surprise following what we’ve seen of the movie so far coupled with Fox’s track record of marketing their films to Mountain Dew chugging, Base-Jumping X-Treme sports athletes.
DragonballEvolutionMovie.com currently takes you to foxmovies.com and an overseas trailer leaked today that features the new title:
I suppose that we should be thankful that Fox didn’t dumb the title down to “DBZ” although I wouldn’t put it past them should a sequel be greenlit.
Dragonball: Evolution is “Written” and “directed” by James Wong and stars Justin Chatwin, James Marsters, Emmy Rossum, Jamie Chung , Eriko Tamura, Joon Park, Chow Yun-Fat, Texas Battle, Randall Duk Kim and Ernie Hudson. It is slated to drop into North American theaters April 8 2009.

A very similar thing was done just recently with two other Bandai Vegeta figures, as part of thier HG line! It’s cool to see Bandai address the funny color change that Vegeta has during the early part of the series in this way, and now you will have two little mini versions to match your HG collection! Also, check of the awesome looking little kid Gohan with sword!
