Bandai Spirits and Tamashii Nations are releasing a steady stream of Dragon Ball Z figures, including the Match Makers prize line and S.H.Figuarts action figures, with recent announcements covering the Majin Buu arc, the Namek battle, and the Cell Games.
Dragon Ball Z figure releases have been a constant thread through mid-2026, with Bandai Spirits and Tamashii Nations covering multiple arcs. The Match Makers prize line focused on recreating iconic battles, starting with the Goku vs. Vegeta first clash. Two figures, each 12 to 13 centimeters tall, were released sequentially from June 16, designed to be displayed side by side. The line then moved to the Cell Games, with First Form Cell and Android 16 locked in a shoulder-to-shoulder close combat pose, going on sale from July 7.
The S.H.Figuarts line expanded with several new releases. A Son Gohan figure based on his Android Saga costume is scheduled for November 2026, featuring a new shoulder articulation system and standing about 105mm tall. A first press limited edition includes a Z Warrior Gathering Base A. Recoome received two announcements: a battle-damaged version with a torn battle suit and wound sculpting from his Namek fight, and a Hell Recoome form with new sculpting, a torn costume, multiple face parts, and an Eraser Gun effect. Both Recoome figures are priced at 9,900 yen and ship in February 2027.
More recent releases target specific dramatic moments. The S.H.Figuarts Full Power Frieza -Battle Scarred Edition- reproduces his appearance from the Namek battle, with damage paint across the body and a defeated face expression. It includes a bonus head part compatible with the separately sold Super Saiyan Son Goku figure, recreating Goku reverting from Super Saiyan. The Dragon Ball Arise Piccolo Petrified Ver. figure captures Piccolo turned to stone by Dabura in the Majin Buu arc, with a surprised pose and stone coloring. It costs 30,800 yen and ships around November 2026.
