Funko, a company that has thrived for almost two decades, has left no stone unturned when it comes to capturing the essence of beloved characters in popular culture. From the mighty Marvel superheroes to the iconic figures from the Star Wars universe, including those from the prequel trilogy, Funko has spared no effort in immortalizing these characters in their unique Pop!

Dragon Ball Z Collectible Figures
Maybe your avid supporter appreciates collecting exquisite figurines inspired by their beloved Z-Fighter, or perhaps you’re acquainted with a newfound enthusiast whose introduction to the series commenced with the relatively recent Dragon Ball Super. Why not consider acquiring a selection of figures that showcase the vibrant new blue hair of the Super Saiyans? Both Vegeta and Goku proudly display their fresh appearance from Super, striking dynamic poses that will undoubtedly make a stunning centerpiece for any DBZ collection. For an added challenge, you can even incorporate the malevolent Super Saiyan Goku Rose into the mix, providing the two Z-Fighters with a formidable opponent. Additionally, we offer timeless Piccolo and Goku figures, capturing their iconic personas during the gripping Frieza Saga on the Planet Namek. Ensure you discern the recipient’s preferred Saga before selecting the perfect figurine as a gift.
Dragon Ball Z Merchandise
There’s no simple way to put it. Sometimes, it’s all about the merch! There exists cool stuff that doesn’t fit into the usual categories like action figures and apparel. That’s why we’ve compiled a collection of our favorite Dragon Ball Z merch that’s a bit peculiar or unconventional. Picture a DBZ enthusiast proudly carrying their snacks in a DBZ lunchbox, or the excitement of discovering their beloved anime character in a blind box figure. A straightforward mug for their morning coffee at work could also make a great gift! After all, everyone could use one of those.
Dragon Ball Z Toys
Who can resist the appeal of a captivating toy? While traditionally associated with children, we have come to realize that toys hold a special place in the hearts of adults as well. Thus, whether you are seeking a present for a mature aficionado of anime or a delightful Dragon Ball Z action figure for a young novice perfecting their Kamehameha Wave, rest assured that you will discover the ideal item right here. Additionally, we offer an array of cuddly plushies inspired by beloved characters. Without further ado, explore our handpicked selection of Dragon Ball Z toys below!
Dragon Ball Z Plush Toys
No one would ever dare question Piccolo’s toughness. The same can be said for the likes of Vegeta and Frieza, who exude a hardened edge! And be warned, labeling any of them as cuddly will result in a devastating ki-blast. However, these plush Dragon Ball Z toys featuring these characters are absolutely embrace-worthy. Unlike their real counterparts, brimming with sinewy muscles, these fellows are filled with soft fiberfill stuffing, making them vulnerable to a powerful hug attack. Available in designs representing Piccolo, Vegeta, and Frieza, who are undeniably among the grumpiest figures in the Dragon Ball universe (excluding Garlic Jr., Naturally)!
Dragon Ball Z Action Figures
Let’s dive into the world of imagination and play. It is widely acknowledged that action figures reign supreme as the most incredible toys ever crafted (or at least share the throne with Legos). From the iconic G.I. Joes to the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, avid collectors have indulged in the pleasure of owning their treasured characters in the form of action figures. And of course, we cannot overlook the extraordinary realm of Dragon Ball Z! Who could resist the allure of posing Goku in his iconic Kamehameha pose? Perhaps you yearn to embark on a thrilling escapade with Bulma in search of the legendary Dragon Balls. And for those who find themselves drawn to the darker side, fear not, for we even offer a Freiza figure, catering to the mischievous souls who find solace in the villainous realm.

They yearn for wearable items! Yes, my dear silly goose, we have wonderful news! We offer a wide array of Dragon Ball Z apparel that serves as an excellent gift for any fan of the series. T-shirts are an undeniable triumph, as licensed t-shirts have become a popular choice for almost everyone nowadays.

One of our most sought-after designs is the Over 9000 shirt, featuring an enraged Vegeta on the front. Additionally, we offer the Frieza shirt, proudly displaying his ultimate form. If you’re in need of warmth during chilly days, our Frieza military hoodie is the perfect choice, not only keeping you cozy but also aligning you with Frieza’s esteemed warriors.

Dragon Ball Z Cosplay Ideas
There’s nothing quite like the rejuvenating power of cosplaying! It opens the door for individuals to embody their beloved characters, allowing them to unleash their true potential or even explore their darker alter egos. While Halloween costumes offer a glimpse into this concept, cosplay takes it to a whole new level. So, if you’re looking to assist your avid Dragon Ball Z fan in their cosplay journey, we’ve compiled some fantastic suggestions. However, it’s crucial to ensure that your gift recipient is genuinely interested in cosplay before delving into the realm of purchasing cosplay equipment.
Goku Cosplay
When it comes to Dragon Ball Z cosplay, Goku is the ultimate go-to choice. As the first hero to grace the screen and the unwavering focus of the series, he captivates fans with his unyielding strength, constantly surpassing every formidable opponent. With his lighthearted and carefree nature, Goku effortlessly steals the hearts of many. To embody Goku, one must don his iconic bright orange fighting attire, courtesy of Master Roshi. Whether you’re an adult or a child, we offer Goku costumes in various sizes, complemented by a matching wig for a complete transformation. However, for those seeking a more subtle approach, our Goku sunglasses perfectly emulate the Super Saiyan’s spiky hairstyle.
Vegeta Cosplay
And then enters Vegeta, the embodiment of the ultimate antagonist on the small screen. He exuded arrogance, malice, and an undeniable aura of peril. Even Goku, the mighty hero, found himself struggling against this otherworldly invader. However, as time went on, Vegeta unveiled a layer of complexity and was revealed to be somewhat misunderstood. Surprisingly, even Bulma, the strong-willed beauty, succumbed to the allure of this Super Saiyan with a rebellious streak. Presently, Vegeta dedicates his time to outdo Goku by vanquishing imminent dangers. For those seeking a brooding appearance for their cosplay, look no further than this exquisite Vegeta costume – the perfect choice. Naturally, to complete the ensemble, one may opt for the signature spiky black hair, which can be effortlessly replicated with the aid of these remarkable Vegeta glasses or the officially authorized Dragon Ball Z wig. Alternatively, for a more iconic “villainous” portrayal of Vegeta, one can adorn the Saiyan Armor, inspired by the legendary Saiyan Saga.
Bulma Cosplay
Bulma’s role in the anime series was absolutely monumental, right from the very beginning! Without her, Goku would have never ventured out of his peculiar little home in the untamed wilderness. She has proven time and again that she is the genius of all geniuses, reigning as the smartest woman on the entire planet. While she may not possess the combat prowess of a Super Saiyan, she is undoubtedly the mastermind behind all the incredible tools and gadgets that the Z-Fighters rely on to get the job done. Without her ingenuity, they would have been left stranded on Earth while the Namek crisis unfolded. Moreover, she is the only woman with enough strength to tame the fiercely stubborn Vegeta! Transforming into Bulma through cosplay is surprisingly simple! All you need is one of our officially licensed Bulma costumes, available in sizes for both kids and adults, as well as some nifty gadgets like the iconic scouter. Alternatively, you can opt for a more understated Bulma look by donning these fashionable Capsule Corp suspenders along with a sleek lab coat. It’s the quintessential attire for Bulma when she’s hard at work in the laboratory. However, a word of caution! Those who choose to wear these items may need to dye their hair a vibrant shade of blue-green or perhaps even purple, as Bulma is renowned for her ever-changing hair colors in the anime. Of course, there’s always the option of using a wig as well.
Piccolo Cosplay
Ever wondered how on earth someone can pull off a successful Piccolo cosplay? I mean, the dude has green skin, pointy ears, those funky antennae on his forehead, and that insanely deep voice (all thanks to the amazing Christopher Sabat). But guess what? It’s actually a lot easier than you think! We’ve got a whole bunch of options to help kickstart your cosplay adventure. First off, we’ve got licensed Piccolo costumes available in sizes for both adults and kids, so everyone can get in on the Namekian fighter action. Pair one of those bad boys with our Piccolo mask or one of our makeup kits, and you’ll be rocking that perfect Namekian look. Just make sure to give some pointers on how to talk with that ultra-deep voice to any DBZ fan in your life. Oh, and a little heads up, these items won’t actually grant you the power to regenerate like Piccolo, so tell your friend to avoid any unnecessary fights while sporting these unique goodies!
Gohan Cosplay
Finally, behold Gohan, the embodiment of boundless potential! From the very inception of the series, Akira Toriyama ingeniously hinted at the untapped capabilities of this youthful prodigy. Astonishingly, he even managed to catch Raditz off guard in his duel against Goku, wielding a power level of 1307! Although it may not have reached the legendary “over 9000” levels that compelled Vegeta to shatter his scouter, it remains undeniably remarkable for such a diminutive warrior. Moreover, assuming the guise of this underdog combatant is remarkably effortless! This Gohan attire is available in both adult and child sizes, facilitating a seamless metamorphosis into the half-Saiyan fighter. The costume meticulously replicates his garb from the Perfect Cell Saga, demanding nothing less than a flawless rendition of the iconic Father and Son Kamehameha Wave! A meticulously crafted wig culminates the transformation, rendering one indistinguishable from a Super Saiyan. And let us not forget the classic Gohan appearance hailing from the Frieza Saga. In that era, he fearlessly donned the battle-worn Saiyan Armor of his ancestors, emerging as a formidable force to be reckoned with!
