Bandai America returns in 2008 as the master toy licensee for Dragon Ball Z. The line kicks off this Spring with 4” collectible figures and detailed 2.5” figures direct from Japan.
In the Fall, fans will be treated to new toys designed for the U.S. market, like the 2.5” Flash Changer Figures that transforms characters into their energized forms, and 8” Power Boost Figures, with muscles that expand and break through the character’s energy force. The interactive 6.5” Energy Battle Set with Goku vs Piccolo offers figures that respond to one to another through IR technology, allowing fans to battle their characters and perform their final attack moves to defeat their opponent.
Also, for the first time Bandai will be offering role-play items including the Kamehameha Wrist Bands. The bands allow fans to mimic Goku's moves. A correct move triggers cool powered-up sound effects and light action.
