Bandai Spirits and Tamashii Nations continue to release Dragon Ball Z prize and action figures, with the Match Makers line expanding to include Cell vs. Android 16 and Goku vs. Vegeta sets, and S.H.Figuarts adding a battle-damaged Recoome and an Android Saga Son Gohan.
Bandai Spirits has been steadily expanding its Dragon Ball Z figure offerings through two main lines: the prize-focused Match Makers series and the premium S.H.Figuarts line. The Match Makers line, which recreates iconic battle scenes as paired prize figures, has seen two new sets announced in recent months. A set depicting Son Goku and Vegeta in their first fight was released sequentially starting June 16, with each figure standing 12 to 13 centimeters tall. A second set, showing Cell's First Form and Android 16 locked in close combat, began sequential release on July 7.
On the S.H.Figuarts side, Tamashii Nations announced a Son Gohan figure based on his Android Saga costume, scheduled for November 2026. The figure features a new shoulder articulation system and stands about 105 millimeters tall. A first press limited edition includes a Z Warrior Gathering Base A. Separately, an S.H.Figuarts Recoome figure in his Hell Recoome form was announced, depicting the Ginyu Force member with a torn battle suit and wound sculpting from his fight on Planet Namek. Pre-orders opened June 19, 2026, at the Soul Web Store for 9,900 yen, with shipment scheduled for February 2027.
The recent releases show Bandai Spirits and Tamashii Nations continuing to mine Dragon Ball Z for both prize and premium figure opportunities, with the Match Makers line focusing on dynamic battle pairings and S.H.Figuarts offering more detailed, articulated versions of characters from specific arcs.
