Bandai's Dragon Ball S.H. Figuarts line debuted in 2009 under the Tamashii Nations brand, setting a new standard for premium anime action figures. Combining exceptional articulation, highly detailed sculpting, and faithful character likenesses, the series quickly became the definitive collector line for Dragon Ball fans. Continuous improvements in engineering and figure design have allowed the range to evolve while remaining one of Bandai's flagship collectible brands.
