Dragon Ball Daima is a new anime from series creator Akira Toriyama that stars Goku and Vegeta in an original story that is not what fans expect.
As revealed on the official Dragon Ball website, the new merchandise lineup will be inspired by the DAIMA storyline teased in the run-up to the series’ debut. While there are plenty of items featuring Goku, Vegeta, and other Dragon Ball characters, their depictions will be based on the miniaturized forms central to the anime’s story.

Dragon Ball Fans Have More To Look Forward To Than The New Anime Series
According to the merchandise reveal announcement, there will initially be five types of collectibles available to fans, including figures, cards, “Gacha”, stickers, models, and exclusive content. Leading the charge are two series of figures sets that highlight the new Dragon Ball DAIMA look. One set features mini Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo from the popular action figure line S.H.Figuarts. The other set features mini Goku, Vegeta, and others from renowned manga and anime toy manufacturer Ichiban Kuji.
One of the more exciting aspects of the new merchandise line-up is the introduction of collectible trading cards that feature DAIMA’s miniature Goku and Vegeta. These will come in the form of two started decks for the popular Dragon Ball Super Card Game: Fusion World, expanding gameplay possibilities. Furthermore, the lineup includes the highly sought-after Gashapon “Gatcha” vending machine toy capsule collectibles. Unlike other sets in this drop, the “Gatcha” series features the new DAIMA character, Glorio.
This drop also introduces distinctive additions to the Dragon Ball Super Warrior Sticker Wafers Super series, incorporating DAIMA characters. Rounding out the regular offerings are meticulously crafted plastic models, pairing iconic duos: Goku and Piccolo, and Goku and Vegeta. These intricate models bring the legendary battles to life.
While All The DAIMA Merchandise Is Cool, Some Items Are Cooler Than Others
Nothing says “merch drop” like exclusive content, and the new Dragon Ball DAIMA lineup has plenty of it. Coming this December, fans can get their hands on two sleek DAIMA additions to Banpresto’s Dragon Ball Clearise action figure line. As collectors know, these figures feature a unique transparent design that makes the colors and details pop. Additionally, the DAIMA figures come with exclusive bonus stand-alone background panels. However, they will only be available through crane games.
Last but certainly not least, beginning in January 2025, Dragon Ball fans outside of Japan will be able to collect new mini Goku and Vegeta figures with articulable arms, hands, legs, and feet. Moreover, bringing action figure movement to its entertainment extreme, an extendable version of Goku’s staff – with a carrying case – will also be available. This impressive merchandise drop is just the beginning. Fans can anticipate additional releases throughout the Dragon Ball DAIMA season, so be sure to check back for updates on upcoming collectibles.
