Each character features transparent hair parts with a lustrous pearl and metallic finish, emphasizing the aura and power of the Saiyan transformations. The meticulous detailing extends to battle outfits, muscle sculpting, and expressive poses that capture each character’s personality and strength. The compact size makes these figures perfect for any collection, whether as standalone pieces or part of a larger Dragon Ball display.
