Best Dragon Ball Funko Pop! Figures
Funko Pop! Shenron
The Dragon Ball Series Would Be A Lot Shorter Without Shenron
The wish-granting dragon, Shenron, is technically the most important character in the Dragon Ball universe. Without him, everyone would be dead. So, to celebrate the creature that keeps bringing your favorite characters back to life, you’re able to pick up this Funko. The dragon is in his usual stance with Dragon Balls underneath him.
The entire concept of the franchise basically revolves around Shenron and his Dragon Balls. As such, he’s one of the longest-running characters in the series and has been around for almost theentire Dragon Ball timeline. With that tenure, he’s earned a good Funko Pop! And they don’t get much better than this one.
It looks exactly like Shenron from the anime, even the eyes, which is not always the case with Funkos. The fact he looks like he’s shooting out of the Dragon Balls is a nice touch, too, since that is what he does. The size of the figure may concern people as he’s bigger than the typical Funko at ten inches. Yet, since he’s much larger than everyone else in Dragon Ball, the substantial size makes sense.
Funko Pop!: Dragon Ball Z - Vegeta (Over 9000)
Dragon Ball Z’s Most Famous Line
Everyone knows the Dragon Ball Z scene where Vegeta yells about Goku’s power level and crushes his scouter. This Funko Pop is based on that exact moment. So, you have Vegeta in his Saiyan Saga gear, looking angry, with the remains of his scouter in his hand.
“Over 9000” is easily the most well-known bit of dialogue in Dragon Ball history. So, of course, Funko made a figure about the scene. It’s a fantastic re-creation, too, as even in Funko form, you can see the rage in Vegeta’s face, helped by the classic angry eyebrows.
His hair and armor are also exceptional, as their shape and coloring are perfect. To top it all off is the crushed scouter in his hand. The designer could’ve included an intact scouter, and it would’ve looked like he was about to destroy it. Yet, they went the extra mile by including a nicely crushed one.
Funko Pop! Animation: Dragon Ball Z - Captain Ginyu
The Eccentric Leader Of The Ginyu Force
The purple powerhouse known as Ginyu is the leader of the Ginyu Force, which is a group most known for doing poses. Therefore, it’s no surprise that his Funko Pop! is also pulling a pose. He’s got one knee bent and is pointing to the floor with each of his hands.
Whilere-watching Dragon Ball Z, you may notice that Captain Ginyu is a very underrated character. He is funny and incredibly powerful. So, it’s only right that he gets a Funko as good as this one.
Outside of the typical Funko eyes, he looks a lot like the character you see on screen. The paint job on his skin and armor is terrific. And the veins on his head are an excellent detail. Plus, he’s doing one of his signature poses, which is exactly what he should be doing.
Funko Pop! Animation: Dragon Ball Z - Vegito
What You Get If You Combine A Goku Funko With A Vegeta Funko
The Potara earrings provided the series with one of its most powerful fighters by combining Goku and Vegeta. It resulted in Vegito, who has a combination of the two Saiyans' haircuts and outfits. Therefore, this Funko does, too. It also has angry eyebrows and poses like the character does in the anime.
When people think of Vegito, they generally think of the Super Saiyan version. This might be because he spends much of his battle with Super Buu while in that mightier form. However, if you appreciate base form Vegito, this is the Funko for you.
He has his fabulous hair, sweet Potara earrings, and classic outfit. He’s even doing his most iconic stance with one fist up in the air while the other points downwards. This is nice attention to detail from Funko.
Even Super Saiyans Have To Eat
This Gohan Funko is based on the short period before the Cell Games, where he and his dad were Super Saiyans all the time. He’s got his yellow hair and green eyes. Yet, instead of a Gi, he’s wearing regular clothes while eating some noodles.
Seeing the Saiyans do regular activities as Super Saiyans is odd, but that’s what Gohan and Goku did before the Cell Games. That is what inspired this Funko of Super Saiyan Gohan eating noodles.
Not only is he a peaceful Super Saiyan, but he’s also wearing regular clothes. So, this is a unique kind of Super Saiyan Gohan figure. Uniqueness wouldn’t mean much if he didn’t look good, but thankfully, he does. His distinct Super Saiyan hair is fantastic, and he’s looking sharp in that outfit. There are even some nice details on the noodles and his hands.
The Moment That Changed Dragon Ball Z Forever
This isn’t just any Super Saiyan Goku Funko Pop! It’s from when the character first achieved the form on Namek. As such, his clothes are battle-damaged, he’s furious over Krillin’s death, and there’s a yellow aura behind him.
Goku turning into a Super Saiyan for the first time is one of the most beloved moments in the entire series. And you can commemorate it with this Funko. It’s a superb re-creation of Goku from that moment. He clearly has a furious expression on his face, which is somewhat unusual for a Goku Funko, but that’s precisely how he was feeling in the scene.
He’s also got spiky yellow hair and a damaged outfit. These have both been colored really well and heavily resemble the anime versions. The thing that really pushes this Funko into greatness, though, is the golden aura building up behind the figure. It’s a bit smaller than the aura he had in the anime, but it still looks brilliant.
