Dragon Ball Ultra Instinct Goku Premium Gashapon

Bandai’s Candy Toy Division revealed a new collectible set of Dragon Ball Premium Gashapon figures based on the series’ protagonist Goku. Officially titled Ultimate Luminous x High Grade Series Dragon Ball 01, the figures will release during the 4th week of February 2021 with an individual price of 1,500 yen ($14.20). [Thanks, Hobby Watch!] The Goku figures will come in 3 different varieties: The regular Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (SSGSS), more popularly known as Super Saiyan Blue, and Ultra Instinct. The first figure will have a yellow Kamehameha, while the other two will have it colored blue instead. Bandai claims that the Kamehameha effects here are the largest-ever made for Gashapon figures. The spherical charging core even lights up due to the Luminous light unit included inside.

As the Goku figures have to be disassembled to fit inside gashapon capsules, Bandai provided a guide to assemble the capsule contents. The stone base also opens to reveal a battery switch used to light up the charged Kamehameha core. The normal Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan Blue, and Ultra Instinct versions of Goku were all featured in Dragon Ball FighterZ and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Both games are immediately available on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC.
