Where to buy S.H.Figuarts Dragon Ball Z figures

All of these are available to order from January 18 at 9 pm EST, so keep an eye on these pages because these figures tend to go quickly! Shipping costs will vary by location.

S.H.Figuarts SON GOKU -A SAIYAN RAISED ON EARTH-

Dragon Ball’s leading man, Son Goku, gets a fantastic figure treatment in his best attire. Though we often see Goku sporting different hair colors and screaming into the wind, it’s nice to see him in his base form with that cheery grin we all fell for watching Dragon Ball.

Goku costs $35.00 and comes with four interchangeable facial expressions, four pairs of hands, and single parts of his right hand waving and another right hand raising two fingers so fans can pull off his iconic “instant transmission” pose.

S.H.Figuarts SUPER SAIYAN SON GOKU -LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN-

When the brutal Frieza killed his best friend Krillin on Namek, Goku fulfilled his destiny, transformed into the legendary Super Saiyan, and fought against Frieza until the tyrant intergalactic overlord fell at the low-class warriors’ hands.

Super Saiyan Goku costs $68.00 and comes with four expressions, four pairs of hands, and a charging Kamehameha effect part. The design team has done a great job with Goku here; besides the impressive effect parts and articulation, we rarely see a figure that puts their detailed physique on display. You could grind meat on those abs.

S.H.Figuarts FULL POWER FRIEZA

In a final attempt at taking Goku down, Frieza convinces the Saiyan to allow him to power up to 100%, giving him the challenge he desires. Goku only allows this to demoralize Frieza further when he inevitably defeats the tyrant. This figure houses excellent detail, from Frieza’s freakish veiny muscles to the cut-off section of his tail.

Full Power Frieza costs $85.00 and comes with three head pieces of different expressions, five pairs of hands, and two pairs of feet, one for a standing pose and the other for a flying pose. Frieza also comes with two “Death Saucer” effect parts and an additional face piece of Goku getting punched for the Super Saiyan Goku figure mentioned above.

S.H.Figuarts KRILLIN -Earth’s Strongest Man-

Krillin is possibly the most underrated character in the entire Dragon Ball franchise; as he knows he doesn’t stand a chance in most fights, he still puts his best foot forward to put someone between the malicious villain and the innocent.

Krillin costs $55.00 and is scaled appropriately when put next to other figures in the S.H. Figuarts line due to his short stature. He comes with four interchangeable heads with different expressions, six pairs of hands, an additional hand holding a bag of Senzu beans, and a “Destructo Disk” effect part.

S.H.Figuarts SUPER SAIYAN TRUNKS -INFINITE LATENT SUPER POWER-

Trunks rarely dons his Saiyan fatigues, but when Cell achieves his second form, Trunks and Vegeta enter the fray and make short work of the semi-perfect monster. Vegeta lets his pride get the better of him, making Trunks step in to keep Cell from getting to the androids and achieving his perfect form.

Trunks costs $35.00 and comes with three different expressions, three pairs of hands, and a crossed arm part to really put across down done this angsty time traveler is with his androids, bug-men, and most of all his father’s pride.

S.H.Figuarts CELL FIRST FORM

The last articulated figure in this article is Imperfect Cell, appearing in his terrifying first form. We had dealt with many villains, but they were all humanoid to a degree. Cell, in his first form, really stretches the bug-man features further with his disturbing appearance and even worse abilities; that tail isn’t just for show.

First Form Cell costs $75.00 and comes with many additional pieces: five pairs of hands, four faces, an additional crown for angrier expressions, and another tailpiece to replicate the scene of a particular android getting absorbed.

Figuarts ZERO [EXTRA BATTLE] SUPER SAIYAN 3 SON GOKU -DRAGON FIST EXPLOSION- -Exclusive Edition-

The Figuarts ZERO Super Saiyan 3 Goku Dragon Fist Explosion figure comes in as the only statue in this article. Pulling off Goku’s signature move terrifically from the Dragon Ball film, “Dragon Ball Z Wrath of the Dragon.” While outside of the official canon, it contains impressive fight scenes and tells us how Trunks receives his iconic Z-Sword.

This Super Saiyan 3 Goku statue costs $96.00 and is the only Dragon Ball statue on our list. While it does not house any articulation for posability, it is outstandingly detailed with a fantastic paint job, making for an excellent display statue for any Dragon Ball fan.

Those are the best Dragon Ball Z figures available to order from Premium Bandai, again these orders go live on January 18 at 9 PM EST and aim to ship out immediately, so keep these pages ready to score some great Dragon Ball Z S.H. Figures figures.
