S.H. Figuarts of Dragon Ball | Information and Listings

S.H. Figuarts are a line of 1/12 scale (approximately 6") articulated figures created by the Japanese manufacturer Tamashii Nations. They stand out for their quality, sculpting, accessories, and, of course, the number and engineering of their articulations. The line includes franchises such as Naruto, Marvel, Bleach, and, of course, Dragon Ball.

The Best 1/12 Scale Articulated Dragon Ball Figures

When focusing on their "league" of 6" articulated figures, their only real competitor is Bandai's Dragon Stars Series. However, that collection has a more toy-oriented approach, lacking the same level of articulation and detailed sculpting.

First, there are over 200 S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ball releases, most of which are out of print since they were limited or exclusive editions. If you want to collect everything Tamashii has released in this line, it can be quite expensive.

Second, this line has three types of editions: Exclusive, Limited, and Regular.

• Exclusive editions are usually tied to events like Comic-Con or physical store releases.
• Limited editions, known as "Tamashii Web" releases, have a restricted production run and are only available for a short period, never to be reissued.
• Regular editions are the ones that tend to get re-released multiple times.

Third, this line continues to release new figures almost every two months. As of today, regular releases are priced around 30$, while limited editions are more expensive at launch and increase in value over time. Exclusives, on the other hand, tend to be expensive from the start.

Here you will see some of the more than 200 S.H. Figuarts releases that Tamashii Nations has brought us from Dragon Ball.
