The back of the box displays some of the other figures, usually the figures from the same series.

The branding is underneath the character’s feet.

It reads in raised font on the right foot: ©B.S./S.,/T.A. #35855 B.19 CHINA and the CE logo is on the other foot. This is specifically for Series 15 SSJ Vegeta, so the numbers may be slightly different.

I’ll be listing mainly the general singles series here, as there are some exclusive colour variants that were only available at certain shops / times. I’ll also list the Power Up and Versus Packs as they contain some figures not (yet) released as singles, and they have sometimes different expressions.

There are currently 73 single figures out.

Super Saiyan Vegeta
Barcode: 3296580367696

The figure has a “New Version” sticker on the box, probably to differentiate it from Series 2 Super Saiyan Vegeta. It does appear to be a new sculpt with better articulation than his older version from 3 years ago.

Dragonball Super Dragon Stars Series Action Figures by Bandai Series 15 Super Saiyan Vegeta - Posed Battle Ready

The figure is quite nice looking. The head especially looks spot on, and even has a little angry vein popping on his forehead. His hair has a slight shimmer to it.

Dragonball Super Dragon Stars Series Action Figures by Bandai Series 15 Super Saiyan Vegeta - Posed High Ki Blast

He comes with an extra pair of interchangeable hands, so you can swap them for open hands and fists or a combination of.

Dragonball Super Dragon Stars Series Action Figures by Bandai Series 15 Super Saiyan Vegeta - Posed low Ki Blast

The figure has 14 different points of articulation; in the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrist, waist, hips, knees and ankles.

Dragonball Super Dragon Stars Series Action Figures by Bandai Series 15 Super Saiyan Vegeta - Posed back

Vegeta is wearing his trademark battle armour from the Android Saga to Cell Games Saga.

Dragonball Super Dragon Stars Series Action Figures by Bandai Series 15 Super Saiyan Vegeta - Posed large Ki Attack

Despite all the articulation I still had some trouble posing him exactly how I’d like, finding most limitation on the shoulders and hips.

Dragonball Super Dragon Stars Series Action Figures by Bandai Series 15 Super Saiyan Vegeta - Posed Galick Gun

The joints also remain very visible.

Dragonball Super Dragon Stars Series Action Figures by Bandai Series 15 Super Saiyan Vegeta - Posed stare at hands

It also would have been nice if there were heads which were interchangeable like the hands, so you have different expressions and or forms.

Dragonball Super Dragon Stars Series Action Figures by Bandai Series 15 Super Saiyan Vegeta - Posed facepalm

However, I had a lot of fun posing him as is and they are a cheap alternative for the S.H. Figuarts figures. More parts would make them more expensive, and you’ll have more parts on the sides as left over.

Dragonball Super Dragon Stars Series Action Figures by Bandai Series 17 Vegeta - Posed cross armed back

Vegeta is wearing his trademark battle armour from the Android Saga to Cell Games Saga. It is darker coloured than the Super Saiyan variant from series 15. I’m guessing the idea is the Super Saiyan glow makes it lighter. 

Dragonball Super Dragon Stars Series Action Figures by Bandai Series 17 Vegeta - Posed Big Bang Attack

As with his Super Saiyan counterpart, despite all the articulation I still had some trouble posing him exactly how I’d like, finding most limitation on the shoulders and hips.

Dragonball Super Dragon Stars Series Action Figures by Bandai Series 23 Majin Vegeta Posed Battle Ready

The figure is quite nice looking. The head feels a bit the same as Series 15 Super Saiyan Vegeta though, and the neutral expression doesn’t suit the chaotic Majin Vegeta. He does have angry veins on his forehead and some more detail in his hair. His hair has a slight shimmer to it too.

Dragonball Super Dragon Stars Series Action Figures by Bandai Series 23 Majin Vegeta Posed Stadium Attack

When I first saw these figures back in 2017, I wasn’t that fussed. I’m not a huge fan of Dragonball Super, and the figures looked a bit off to me, with joints very visable.

But when I saw Series 15 Super Saiyan Vegeta for sale in Smyths in the UK in 2020, I decided to treat myself. He looked much better from what I remembered them looking like in 2017, and it was so long since I had bought a new Vegeta Action Figure. It kinda felt nostalgic. I also love the box packaging, as I don’t have to ruin / break the entire thing to get the figure. And I figured I should have at least one of this series.

I was actually pleasantly surprised with this figure. Yes the joints are very visible, and his gaping hips especially I’m disliking, but I still had a lot of fun with him. I love my old Irwin Action Figures, but this one had a lot more articulation which made for some fun photo’s.

Although they feel a bit cheap and plastic, and obviously can’t compare to the SH Figuarts in terms of options and articulation, these are a great cheaper alternative for them. I may buy a couple more of my favourite characters.

I have no interest in buying them all though. But Series 11 and 14 Gohan look quite cool. Series 9 Frieza, Series 11 Kid Buu, Series 16 Cooler, Series 18 Janemba, Series 20 Nappa and Frieza, Series 22 Super Yi-Shinron and Series 23 Super Buu make for some cool baddies which I’m lacking as well. Series 19 Roshi is also quite a cool and unique figure.

Of course after Super Saiyan Vegeta I had to get Vegeta (Series 17) as well! And now I’m just going for all DBZ Vegeta. So when Vegeta (Series 20) came out I got him as well. I found Vegeta (Series 21) quickly after too. And finally Majin Vegeta (Series 23). Maybe I’ll look for Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta at some point too…

If you like poseable action figures but can’t afford the S.H. Figuarts or vintage prices, these are quite good. Especially the later series I think.
If you prefer more precision or higher quality, you may want to opt for the S.H. Figuarts instead.


Got any more details / information you think I should add? Or did I get something wrong? Do you own any of these figures? Which one is your fav? Do you agree or disagree with my findings? Let me know in the comments below!
