Dragon Ball Super expanded the Dragon Ball universe with a new generation of characters and power levels that the original Z series couldn't have imagined. For collectors, it also meant a wave of new figure designs — some of the most striking in the entire franchise. Here's what to know about collecting Dragon Ball Super merchandise.
How Super Changed the Figure Market
Dragon Ball Z figures are defined by their iconic poses and transformations: Goku going Super Saiyan, Vegeta's Final Flash, Gohan's rage unlock. Dragon Ball Super added an entirely new tier of transformations and characters — Ultra Instinct, Super Saiyan Blue, God of Destruction forms — and the figure market followed immediately.
The result is a catalogue split between nostalgia (Z-era figures remain the most collected overall) and new-era prestige (Super-era figures that capture the God tier aesthetics are increasingly sought after by collectors who grew up with Z and are now buying premium pieces).
Essential Dragon Ball Super Characters
Goku Ultra Instinct
The definitive Super-era Goku figure. Silver hair, silver eyes, serene expression masking explosive power — Ultra Instinct Goku is one of the most visually distinct transformations in anime history. Figure manufacturers have handled this well: the best UI Goku pieces capture the stillness-within-movement that defines the form.
Beerus, God of Destruction
The cat-like God of Destruction is one of the best character designs to come out of Dragon Ball Super. Elegant, ancient, capricious — Beerus figures range from battle-ready poses to the character in his characteristic lounging positions. His attendant Whis also has a collector following, and paired Beerus/Whis displays are popular.
SSB Gogeta
Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta from Dragon Ball Super: Broly is the most popular fusion figure in the Super catalogue. Our SSB Gogeta 31cm figure features the combination of the Gogeta design with SSB aesthetics and spectacular energy effect accessories.
Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta
SSB Vegeta figures have strong collector interest — the Royal Blue hair with Vegeta's characteristic pride and intensity reads distinctively from SSB Goku despite using the same transformation. Final Flash in SSB is particularly dramatic.
Hit, Jiren and Tournament of Power Characters
Hit (the assassin from Universe 6) has a distinctive minimalist design that translates to elegant figures. Jiren has passionate collector support among fans of the Tournament of Power arc. Both are less common than main cast figures, which adds collector interest.
Dragon Ball Super Crystal Ball Lightboxes
Our Super-era lightbox designs — Ultra Instinct Goku and SSB Gogeta — are consistently among our most popular lightbox SKUs. The silver and blue aesthetics of Super-era transformations photograph exceptionally well through the crystal ball medium, producing a glow quality distinct from the orange/gold of Z-era designs.
Mixing Z and Super in a Display
Many collectors display Z and Super together — the characters are continuous even if the aesthetic differs. A configuration that works well: Z-era Goku SSJ figure as a centrepiece (nostalgia anchor), UI Goku as the secondary (current-era prestige), Beerus as a compositional wildcard. The scale difference between Beerus and the Saiyan figures, when displayed together, reflects the actual power dynamic of the series.
