Vol.04 • Porunga
The Scultures BIG Series are the resulting products from Banpresto’s Figure Colosseum Budokai Tenkaichi Contest. In the contest, Japans best sculptors go head to head, creating new Dragonball Statues. Voting is conducted in Japan and the winner is crowned King of the Tenkaichi. The fearsome Namekian Dragon Porunga has something of a signature pose to him, so sculptor CCP decided not to rock the boat with his Figure Colosseum 4 entry. What CCP did instead was create a figure with details and a color palette that match the anime to a T. Look closely and you can see where Porunga’s skin wrinkles around his neck and muscles, the bumps of his scales, and even the texture of his horns! This is the kind of figure that encourages you to take in all of the carefully-crafted details.
Vol.04 • Bulma
The Scultures BIG Series are the resulting products from Banpresto’s Figure Colosseum Budokai Tenkaichi Contest. In the contest, Japans best sculptors go head to head, creating new Dragonball Statues. Voting is conducted in Japan and the winner is crowned King of the Tenkaichi. The third place winner of Figure Colosseum 4 has some incredible accessory detail, but that’s not what sculptor Hiroyuki Nakazawa sees as its crowning achievement. He’s proudest of the figure’s carefully blended doll-like finish. By using a grassroots method to combine pigment with the sculpting material, Nakazawa was able to create seven different colors that make Bulma’s details pop! This finishing method allows for vibrant colors and clean, beautiful details. It really makes this figure stand out from the crowd!
Vol.04 • Trunks
The Scultures BIG Series are the resulting products from Banpresto’s Figure Colosseum Budokai Tenkaichi Contest. In the contest, Japans best sculptors go head to head, creating new Dragonball Statues. Voting is conducted in Japan and the winner is crowned King of the Tenkaichi. Do characters get any cooler than Future Trunks? Despite Figure Colosseum 4 gold medal winner’s relatively smaller size, the details are exquisite. Everything from the damage on his pants to the motion of the jacket simply works. Sculptor VAROQ wanted to make sure that Trunks’s parents, Bulma and Vegeta, were represented in his design. His efforts resulted in a Trunks figure that feels active and alive. One worthy of winning Figure Colosseum 4.
Vol.04 • Son Goku
The Scultures BIG Series are the resulting products from Banpresto’s Figure Colosseum Budokai Tenkaichi Contest. In the contest, Japans best sculptors go head to head, creating new Dragonball Statues. Voting is conducted in Japan and the winner is crowned King of the Tenkaichi. Ken Matsuura claims second place for the second year in a row! He chose the iconic, yet challenging image of Super Saiyan Goku firing off a Kamehameha. Fortunately, his gambit paid off with a dynamic figure that looks as though it’s caught within a storm of ki. Matsuura wants people look at the figure from the front and above, so they can see Goku’s eyes over his hands and feel as though they’re the target of his powerful Kamehameha!
Vol.04 • Yamcha
The Scultures BIG Series are the resulting products from Banpresto’s Figure Colosseum Budokai Tenkaichi Contest. In the contest, Japans best sculptors go head to head, creating new Dragonball Statues. Voting is conducted in Japan and the winner is crowned King of the Tenkaichi. This shockingly cool classic Yamcha figure captures him using his trademark Wolf Fang Fist! While Dragon Ball’s roots as a humor manga have lead to a lack of figures of the early side characters, this Figure Colosseum 4 finalist captures Goku’s first rival in all his glory! Feeling as though Yamcha deserves more love than he gets, sculptor Hiroshi Sagae wanted to make the young, handsome Yamcha look as cool as possible in the heat of battle. He nailed it!
Vol.04 • Pan
The Scultures BIG Series are the resulting products from Banpresto’s Figure Colosseum Budokai Tenkaichi Contest. In the contest, Japans best sculptors go head to head, creating new Dragonball Statues. Voting is conducted in Japan and the winner is crowned King of the Tenkaichi. We’ve seen figures that have been based off of manga panels in the Figure Colosseum, but never one based on an anime plot point! This figure of Pan, called “In the Air” is a nod to episode 11 of Dragon Ball GT, in which Pan is turned into a doll of roughly this size. However, her size her is certainly no measure of her power! As cute as this figure looks, you can see the effort behind that kick in her hair, moving backpack, and airborne belt chain! Sculptor Keisuke Sawada gave this figure depth and dynamism from every angle.And if the aformentioned details weren’t impressive enough, be sure to note the different colors used for the lining of Pan’s clothes. To ensure accuracy, Sawada based this FC4 finalist off of an illustration by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, the DBGT character designer, as well as Akira Toriyama’s image boards for Pan.
Vol.04 • Norimaki Arale
The Scultures BIG Series are the resulting products from Banpresto’s Figure Colosseum Budokai Tenkaichi Contest. In the contest, Japans best sculptors go head to head, creating new Dragonball Statues. Voting is conducted in Japan and the winner is crowned King of the Tenkaichi. Wait, hold on– is Arale really a Dragon Ball character? Well, I suppose she does make a few cameo appearances, and it’s hard to argue with a figure this good! This highly detailed Figure Colosseum 4 finalist takes Arale’s fashion in a new direction by combining her traditional 80’s style with a more contemporary 2014 style. Perhaps the most impressive aspect is how carefully textured it is. The ribbed socks, wrinkled jacket, and messy hair give Arale an almost hypnotizing sense of depth!
Vol.04 • Lunch
The Scultures BIG Series are the resulting products from Banpresto’s Figure Colosseum Budokai Tenkaichi Contest. In the contest, Japans best sculptors go head to head, creating new Dragonball Statues. Voting is conducted in Japan and the winner is crowned King of the Tenkaichi. This Figure Colosseum 4 finalist features peaceful Lunch happily holding a machine gun. …Let’s hope she doesn’t sneeze! This is a perfect example of a simple figure done brilliantly. The ruffles of her apron, the buckles on her shoes, and the curls of her hair give Lunch a lot of interesting texture. The finish complements the plastic well, too. It’s simply refreshing to look at!

In the contest, Japans best sculptors go head to head, creating new Dragonball Statues. Voting is conducted in Japan and the winner is crowned King of the Tenkaichi. Hiroyuki Nakazawa returns to the Figure Colosseum with his signature logo bases in tow to claim the bronze in FC3! This geared-up Goku comes packing an assortment of highly detailed accessories, like his bag, goggles, and hat; but the real charm comes from his relaxed body language. It’s not every day you find a figure of Goku eating or drinking, but the casual energy emanating from this figure helps it round out the top three!
Vol.03 • Master Roshi
The Scultures BIG Series are the resulting products from Banpresto’s Figure Colosseum Budokai Tenkaichi Contest. In the contest, Japans best sculptors go head to head, creating new Dragonball Statues. Voting is conducted in Japan and the winner is crowned King of the Tenkaichi. In the illustration upon which this Figure Colosseum 3 silver medalist is based, Master Roshi’s eyes are completely hidden by his sunglasses. Not content to let the sunglasses remain opaque, sculptor Ken Matsuura turned his capable eyes toward…Master Roshi’s eyes! How did he do it? Matsuura says he based his figure’s expression off of Master Roshi’s alter ego, Jackie Chun, but added a little more playfulness. That’s plain to be seen once you take this figure’s removable sunglasses off!

Whether you like your Buu scary or cute, this Figure Colosseum 3 finalist has a face for you!
Vol.03 • Android 18
The Scultures BIG Series are the resulting products from Banpresto’s Figure Colosseum Budokai Tenkaichi Contest. In the contest, Japans best sculptors go head to head, creating new Dragonball Statues. Voting is conducted in Japan and the winner is crowned King of the Tenkaichi. Hiroshi Sagae is back with this effortlessly cool Figure Colosseum 3-winning take on Android 18! Once again, the sculptor’s goal was “a complete recreation of an illustration by Toriyama-sensei,” but it took him a while to decide which illustration to model. Android 18 turned out to be the perfect choice! Not only does the figure match the manga line for line, but its base really brings out the character’s stylish, yet dangerous appeal.
Vol.03 • Kid Chi-Chi
The Scultures BIG Series are the resulting products from Banpresto’s Figure Colosseum Budokai Tenkaichi Contest. In the contest, Japans best sculptors go head to head, creating new Dragonball Statues. Voting is conducted in Japan and the winner is crowned King of the Tenkaichi. Sculptor Hisatake Kiyama is no stranger to figure competitions, having cut his teeth through a veritable gantlet of events. His Figure Colosseum 3finalist is a charming take on Chi-Chi’s original design. As a fan of Toriyama’s girl characters, Kiyama wanted his figure to emphasize how cute and ridiculous Chi-Chi’s outfit in the original Dragon Ball is. Using Goku’s Flying Nimbus as a base only serves to amplify that!
Roronoa Zoro
Figure from the Dragon Ball Kai X One Piece series from Banpresto, comes in his famous posture and standing at about 6 inches. The paint job is very exquisite and the likeness is uncanny.
