Dragonball Evolution Movie Action Figures

March 17, 2009 | By Juliana Heng In Toy updates |

Amidst the hype about Dragonball Evolution movie showing in the cinemas now, I finally went to watch it last night.  I didn’t have high expectations of the movie prior to seeing it but since I’m not a fan, I thought I’d just treat it as a ’stand alone’ movie and enjoy it as it is. 

After watching it, I find that the movie wanted squeeze too much info into just 90min of film time.  The editing wasn’t that well done, hence the scenes and plot did not flow along smoothly during the movie.  I guess this is what happens when you attempt to compress a long running comics series into just 1 and 1/2 hours.  OVerall, it strikes me as a kids’ movie, more than a movie for older fans and viewers.

Anyway, the Dragonball movie has its own series of Dragonball Evolution movie action figures by Bandai.  Online pre-orders are available now and shipping is expected sometime in April 2009.  The preview photos of all the movie toys can be seen here (note: just refresh the link if the page does not load).  Despite the movie showing here already, I have not seen its toys selling in Singapore yet. 

The above photo shows the main character of the Dragonball Evolution movie, Goku (in his trademark orange costume).  I’d expect this figure to ‘fly’ off the shelves soon after being released in the departmental stores.  There are 7 figures in the 5-inch action figures set and they each come with 1 of the 7 Dragonballs, and a piece to form Oozaru.  Quite a smart move to make people buy all 7 figures!
