DRAGON BALL - Son Goku & Krillin - Figure Fantastic Adventure 2 12cm

This exceptional figurine from the prestigious Ichibansho range (Fantastic Adventure 2 collection) by leading manufacturer Banpresto depicts the iconic and inseparable duo of young martial artists trained by Master Turtle: Son Goku and Krillin. 

The figurine stands approximately 12 cm tall. This premium size gives the piece a superb visual presence and a finish far superior to standard ranges, capturing one of the series’ most iconic early scenes. The distinctive design of the “Fantastic Adventure” series captures the carefree spirit and sense of adventure of the two children, frozen in a dynamic, tension-filled fighting pose. The plastic sculpture pays meticulous attention to the physical features of Goku and Krillin, notably the texture of Goku’s monkey tail, Krillin’s smooth, skull-like head with its six sacred points, and their traditional training uniforms, which are tailored to their body shapes. The application of vivid colours and shading highlights the fury and determination in their combative gazes. 

This officially licensed collectable is aimed primarily at fans of Akira Toriyama’s masterful work, enthusiasts of the early Dragon Ball story arcs, and discerning collectors of the Ichibansho range. The item is supplied mounted on its dedicated display base inside an illustrated cardboard box featuring the series’ colour scheme.

In the expanded Dragon Ball lore, Son Goku and Krillin meet as children on the island of Kame House whilst both are seeking to become disciples of the legendary Master Roshi (Master Turtle). Although Krillin initially sees the young boy with the monkey tail as an arrogant rival, their rigorous daily training — which involves delivering milk with their bare hands, ploughing fields with their fingers and fleeing from dinosaurs — forges an unbreakable friendship that will redefine the fate of the Earth. Under the tutelage of the Turtle School (Kame), they learn to master their life energy (Ki) and develop the martial arts skills necessary to compete in the prestigious World Martial Arts Championship (Tenkaichi Budokai). This formative period transforms these two fearful novices into indispensable elite fighters, whose brotherly bond will remain the emotional and strategic driving force in the face of the universe’s greatest threats.
