Get ready, DRAGON BALL fans! The legendary franchise is once again teaming up with Tomica, the beloved die-cast mini-car series, for an exciting third installment of the “Dream Tomica Tomica x DRAGON BALL” line-up. This time, two iconic vehicles are hitting the shelves: the Gyuumao no Kuruma (Ox-King’s Car) and Furiiza no Kogata Poddo (Frieza’s Small Pod)!
A Legacy of Power: The Ever-Expanding World of DRAGON BALL
Authored by the visionary Toriyama Akira, DRAGON BALL first began its serialization in Shuukan Shounen Jump back in 1984, quickly becoming one of the undisputed pillars of the magazine’s golden age. Its immense popularity naturally led to an anime adaptation in 1986, which then kicked off a global phenomenon that shows no signs of slowing down. The series has continued to evolve through various iterations, including fan favorites like DRAGON BALL Z, DRAGON BALL GT, DRAGON BALL Kai, and DRAGON BALL Super. For decades, DRAGON BALL has been cherished worldwide, not just through its captivating anime, but also with a constant stream of new merchandise and figures that keep fans engaged.
The franchise’s enduring appeal was vividly showcased in 2022 with the blockbuster release of the movie DRAGON BALL Super Super Hero, which not only clinched the #1 spot for its opening weekend box office in Japan but also debuted at #1 in North America. More recently, October 2024 saw the broadcast of the entirely new anime series, DRAGON BALL DAIMA. Spanning 20 thrilling episodes, this latest installment featured Toriyama Akira himself handling the original story, plot, and character designs, ensuring it remained true to the spirit of the original.
Introducing the New Dream Tomica Line-up!
Let’s dive into the fantastic new additions that are sure to excite collectors! First up is the Gyuumao no Kuruma. This model is a faithful recreation of the distinctive vehicle that makes an appearance in the second volume of the manga. It’s the very car that Son Goku and his companions received from Gyuumao at Furai Pan-zan (Frying Pan Mountain), a truly memorable moment for fans. To perfectly capture the manga’s depiction of the car effortlessly floating above the ground, this Tomica model ingeniously uses transparent tires, giving it that authentic airborne look.
Next, we have the iconic Furiiza no Kogata Poddo. This is the instantly recognizable small pod ridden by the formidable antagonist, Furiiza, who first made his menacing appearance in the Namek-sei Hen (Namek Saga) of the manga’s 21st volume. This meticulously crafted model comes complete with a special stand, allowing you to proudly display it as if it’s truly suspended in mid-air, perfectly replicating its appearance as Furiiza glides ominously through space in the series!
Complete Your Collection!
With these two thrilling new releases, the “Dream Tomica Tomica x DRAGON BALL” series now boasts a full lineup of six unique models! This third exciting wave joins the first installment, which introduced the beloved “Son Goku no Kintoun” and “Buruma no Capsule No.9 Bike,” as well as the second wave featuring the iconic “Kame Sennin no Wagon-sha” and the “Red Ribbon-gun no Kogata Sentouki.” We highly encourage you to collect all six to recreate your favorite scenes from the manga, display them proudly in your collection, and enjoy endless hours of imaginative play!
