Bandai and Toei have announced plans to release a line of Dragon Ball Super toys in the US in summer 2017. The line-up will include 3.5-inch, 6.5-inch and 7-inch action figures, collectible sets and "role play items" such as a Deluxe Scouter and Deluxe Kamehameha Shooter.

“Bandai’s creative ambition is at full force with the release of their exciting ‘Dragon Ball Super’ catalogue,” says Masayuki Endo, president, Toei Animation. “The toys recognized the ‘Dragon Ball’ franchise’s long history and appeal to a wide variety of audiences and we look forward to aggressively building out the licensing component of this franchise.”





Dragon Ball Super, the new anime celebrating the 30th anniversary of the anime version of Akira Toriyama's martial arts comedy action classic, is described as reuniting the franchise’s characters to follow the aftermath of Goku’s battle with Majin Buu as he attempts to maintain Earth’s fragile peace.
