Irwin has incredible plans for Dragonball Z this year! In addition to their regular 5" figures, they have all kinds of new products that they are readying to produce. These include 5" special figures, figures aimed at collectors, more 12" figures and models, the Secret Saiyan figures (formerly known as morphing skin figures), and vehicles in both figure scale and mini-size.
Gen Fukunaga himself was at the show Sunday to approve the line, so we;ve gotten full authorization to photograph everything! (Image: Gen & Cindy Fukunaga, Fran Cunningham and Kevin Sayer from Irwin Toy) From these photos, you should be able to get a good idea of the great stuff Irwin will be releasing. Keep in mind that these are protoypes, and the finished versions may be quite different.

5" STRIKING Z FIGHTERS | |||
|
Striking Gokou - Double Kick, Box mock-up Each Striking Z fighter has a special action feature, as listed above. The prototypes, despite the action features involved, had no trouble standing, and looked great in their molded poses. These will retail for around $7.49. | |||
MODEL KITS | |||
|
Frieza Form 2 These model kits will be similar to the first series of kits in design, as well as price, at $8.99. | |||
SECRET SAIYAN WARRIORS | |||
Goku >> SS Gokou Each Secret Saiyan warrior stands about 4-4.5 inches tall, and comes with a rubber outer suit that you can put on them to transform them into Super Saiyans. The figures in the photos above are still in rough stages, and will be refined quite a bit before they are finally released. They will go for around $9.99. | |||
DIE CAST VEHICLES | |||
|
King Kold's Spaceship These die cast vehicles are incredible representations of their cartoon counterparts, and each comes with a 1" mini-figure for $6.99. | |||
9" COLLECTORS EDITION | |||
|
SS Goku, view 2 This new line of 9 inch figures proves that Irwin wants to please not only kids, but collectors as well. These figures are covered in ripped clothes, veins and blood--they look incredible, as if they were in the middle of a horrible battle. Each figure is nearly intimidating in stature--these will make every collector happy. Each figures comes with shoulder, neck and waist articulation. They will be priced at/around $12.99, and are a steal at that price. | |||
12" FIGURES | |||
|
Goku This line is already available in stores at $19.99, but look for two additions to it--Trunks and Tien! Trunks comes in his Capsule Corp. jacket with short hair, and Tien comes with his white shirt and green pants. | |||
DELUXE 5" FIGURES | |||
|
SS Gokou Rather than having a blasting energy ball like the previous series of deluxe figures, this new set features sound and light action--a button on the figure's back activates a light in the energy ball it the figure's hand, and plays a power up noise! These will retail for $10.99. | |||
FIGURE VEHICLES | |||
|
SMALL VEHICLES
Jet Momonga w/ Exclusive Gold Hair SS Gohan These mini vehicles are scaled for the 5" figures, and each comes with an exclusive gold hair version of our favorite Super Saiyan father and son team, Gohan and Goku. They will retail for $14.99. LARGE VEHICLES Time Capsule with Exclusive Trunks Figure Trunks's Time Capsule is scaled to the 5" action figures, and has sounds, flashing lights, and shooting missiles. It comes with an exclusive metallic repaint of Trunks--not solid metallic, but with metallic black pants and a metallic purple vest. Look for it to be $34.99. | |||
CHARACTER MINI-BUSTS | |||
|
Piccolo, view 2 These mini-busts look so incredible, they will blow you away. Each is roughly 7 inches tall. Look for Palisades to start releasing them in June, one each month, for $39.99 each. | |||
CHARACTER STATUES | |||
|
Goku The plans for statues are unspecified at this point, as are expected release dates. | |||
