Bandai will release a new Dragon Ball figure series called DUAL BURST as gashapon in late July. The lineup includes four figures: Super Saiyan Son Goku, Frieza Fourth Form, Super Saiyan Son Gohan, and Cell Perfect Form. Each figure costs 500 yen. The figures are designed to be displayed individually or paired together to recreate famous battles from the series, such as Goku vs. Frieza on Planet Namek and Gohan vs. Cell during the Cell Games.
The figures are sculpted to allow side-by-side display in combat poses. The Goku and Frieza set mimics the Namek showdown, while the Gohan and Cell pair references the Cell Games finale. Bandai is releasing them as standard 500-yen gashapon, suggesting a wide retail rollout. The four-figure lineup covers two of the series' most famous rivalries, and the paired design gives each figure a secondary function as part of a larger scene.
