The Ultimate Guide to Buying Dragon Ball Figures

The Ultimate Guide to Buying Dragon Ball Figures

Dragon Ball remains one of the most influential and popular anime franchises worldwide. Spanning Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super and more, fans love collecting action figures of their favorite Saiyan heroes and villains. This comprehensive guide will explore all the best places for DBZ enthusiasts to purchase authentic Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo and other Dragon Ball character toys.

Check Out the Super Saiyan Sphere Shop

Dedicated Dragon Ball toy shops like Super Saiyan Sphere offer the most extensive selections of DBZ action figures bar none. As hardcore fans ourselves, we work directly with official license holders such as Bandai, Banpresto and others to stock all the best toy lines. You’ll find the newest S.H.Figuarts, Dragon Stars series, Chozokei Damashii and more in our shop. From Goku to Mr. Satan, we carry figures for all characters throughout the Dragon Ball story. Super Saiyan Sphere meticulously vets suppliers and product quality to bring fans the very best DBZ collectibles. Visit us first to find incredible figures for your dream collection!

Specialty Anime and Collectible Stores

After perusing Super Saiyan Sphere’s unbeatable Dragon Ball inventory, check out specialty anime and toy stores for additional variety. Retailers like BoxLunch, Tokyotoys, ToyWiz, Hot Topic and Big Bad Toy Store also stock authentic DBZ figures and merchandise. However, their character selection may be narrower than our shop’s, focusing on the most popular heroes like different versions of Goku, Vegeta, Trunks plus villains like Frieza and Cell. Still, these specialty shops provide alternative trusted sources for authentic, licensed Dragon Ball toys, especially if you can’t find a specific character at Super Saiyan Sphere.

Major Retail Chains Carry Dragon Ball Too

Mass market big box chains like Walmart, Target and Best Buy dedicate shelf space in their electronics/entertainment departments to Dragon Ball action figures and collectibles. However, their on-hand selection is usually quite limited compared to specialty retailers. Major chains tend to only stock newer or most in-demand DBZ figures like Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Gogeta, Ultra Instinct Goku, Super Saiyan Broly and various Vegeta forms. If you see a new Dragon Ball toy line hit the market, check major retailers first as they often get initial shipments. Then visit specialty stores once wider distribution occurs. Also watch for sales, clearance deals and marked down older figures at big box stores to supplement your growing collection on a budget.

Take Risks Buying Dragon Ball Toys Online

eBay and Amazon offer incredible variety when it comes to Dragon Ball Z action figures. You’ll see virtually every character and form imaginable! However, extreme care must be taken when buying DBZ figures from these marketplaces, as many listings are for counterfeit knock-offs and bootlegs, especially anything shipped directly from China. Never pay premium prices for older or out-of-production toys on eBay and Amazon either. Scammers often exploit fans’ desire to own rare Dragon Ball figures by labeling cheap knock-offs as “authentic” and “rare.” Instead, exercise caution sticking to reputable major brand names like Figuarts, Dragon Stars and Banpresto when buying DBZ toys online. Vet each seller’s ratings and reviews thoroughly before purchasing. For peace of mind, buy Dragon Ball figures in-person or order from trusted specialty retailers instead of risking online marketplaces.

Import Directly from Japan

Hardcore Dragon Ball collectors and completionists can expand their options even further by importing action figures directly from Japan. Websites like AmiAmi, HobbyLink Japan and Nippon-Yasan allow you to pre-order upcoming Bandai and other company toy releases, months before they may be available in the US and worldwide. However, you’ll pay a premium for figures and shipping costs ordering direct from Japan. Imports make the most sense for serious collectors wanting immediate access to new Dragon Ball toys as soon as they launch abroad. Otherwise, stick to specialty toy stores which will eventually stock domestic versions of most Japanese figure lines.

As you can see, Dragon Ball fans have an overwhelming amount of options when it comes to purchasing action figures and toys of their favorite anime heroes and villains. While no retailer will carry the complete DBZ collection, following new product launches, shopping specialty stores first, monitoring major retailers for sales and selectively using online marketplaces can help build your dream set of Saiyan warriors. Choose Super Saiyan Sphere as your go-to source for our unmatched selection and supply of authentic Dragon Ball Z collectibles.
