Dragon Ball Z Super Collection Vol 1 Son Goku ドラゴンボールZ 孫悟空

Here is the first in a series of nine videos based on the Dragonball Z Super Collection! This is Vol.1 Son Gokou!

Back in 1991 Bandai Japan embarked on two lines of action figures: The Super Collection (A series of Soft Vinyl figures with detailed sculpts and excellent paint jobs) and the cheaper Super Battle Collection (lower quality rubber/plastic figures).

Both series were ultimately cancelled by Bandai Japan in 1993 with the Super Collection lasting nine volumes, and the Super Battle Collection lasting 10 volumes (plus a special Movie 7 set). While the Super Battle Collection was revived in 1994 by Bandai Asia, the Super Collection was never to be heard from again...

The first figure is naturally that of Son Goku. He has articulation in the arms and waist. He comes with a small sticker sheet as well. Not much else can be said about this figure other than it's probably one of the greatest likenesses of Son Goku out there. The paint job is awesome as well. For a figure so old, it's really hard to figure out how the various toy companies who have handled the license since then can't get likenesses down.

Coming up in February: Vol. 2 Vegeta

Sounds like Kageyama...am I rite?? Whats the title??

[CCDBZ99]

Judging by your favorites, I guess you figured it out. Hahaa

[Sprocket man]

Wow, I didn't know much about DBZ toys in Japan, so I honestly thought these were the Super Battle Collection figures that later got imported over here before Irwin started making their own toys. My apologies for misunderstanding: compared to the SBC figures, there's no contest. I'm kind of surprised that the sculpt is that good, though; that's some fantastic work for a 1991 vinyl.

[CCDBZ99]

Yeah, I really wish they went with a different name for this series..."Super Collection" is just...generic. Plus the confusion sets in with the SBC figures.

The SBC figures made in Japan are actually quite nicely done (and the box art is WAY better). Once production moved to Bandai Asia, the lameness set in. The figures beyond Broly are very poorly made until the end of the series pretty much.

But yeah, Super Collection > SBC. ^^

If super collection was very rare, why was it cancelled by bandai in japan by 1990's and why didn't it keep going?
