Bandai America recently came out with a new line of figures available at Game Stop, some Targets, and Amazon. They retail for a MSRP of $14.99 in the United States, which is a great value, since I've typically bought World Collectible Figure series (WCF) figures at Barnes & Noble for the same price... and WCF don't come with a cool base or any ki effects.
The first wave has 6 characters, all of which you can see on this page of their website: www.bandai.com/brands/dragon-ball-super/final-blast/
- Cell Final Form (Perfect Cell)
- Piccolo (with his special beam cannon!)
- Super Saiyan Trunks (in armor)
- Super Saiyan 2 Gohan
- Super Saiyan Vegeta
- Super Saiyan Goku
All of the characters are from Cell Saga, which is cool, because they are all consistent and go well with each other. The blasts look pretty similar among each other, except Piccolo has his special beam cannon, which is an awesome feature.
The best thing about these figures is that they are the same size as WCF figures. The exact same size. So instead of just getting a generic red, transparent base and occasionally a transparent pole for your WCF character for $15... you get a ki aura, a blast, two little dust clouds, a beam-struggle blast, and a transparent pole to support the blasts with your character, for $15. It's honestly a really good deal.
This line could get really cool and unique if they start adding unusual characters to the line. The figure I was sent displays very well... it doesn't look or feel cheap. I can imagine many people buying these to display.
Bandai America was kind enough to send me a sample figure to review, so I did so in the video below. You'll have to watch the video to see the one thing that I disliked:
