Dragon Ball Z: Funko Reveals Stunning Shenron Figure

Dragon Ball and Funko have always gotten along, but the pair are about to take their relationship to the next level. To date, the pop culture retailer has produced a slew of toys based on Dragon Ball, but it never managed to capture one iconic figure. That is, until now. If you’ve been wanting a Shenron Funko Pop! figure, then your dreams have finally been answered.

And, no – this isn’t a joke.

Thanks to Funko and Galactic Toys, fans of the acclaimed series can now order one exclusive Dragon Ball Z toy. The latter company has secured exclusive rights to sell a special 6″ Pop! of Shenron, and its pre-orders are going fast.

The figure, which can be seen in the photo gallery below, depicts Shenron after he’s been summoned by the Dragon Balls. Serpentining above the mystical objects, the green-and-red dragon can be seen looking straight away with unblinking eyes. Standing at 6″ tall, the Pop! will be larger than any other Dragon Ball Z toy produced by Funko yet.

If you want to get a Shenron Pop! for yourself, then you better hurry. Galactic Toys is accepted pre-orders at the moment, and the site just refreshed its stock. The figure is expecting to ship in late-July and will run you about $30 prior to shipping.

If you are not familiar with Shenron, then you have a bit to catch up on as a Dragon Ball fan. The character is one of the franchise’s most iconic given his connection with the Dragon Balls. The character is considered a divine god who is summoned when all seven of Earth’s Dragon Balls are gathered. Shenron is a strong deity and is known for his fiery temper. When the dragon isn’t being summoned by Goku or other Dragon Ball hunters, Shenron is said to dwell in the Earth’s core and waits for someone to ask for his help. When all the Dragon Balls are gathered, Shenron can then granted one wish for the treasure hunter so long as it does not exceed what his creator is capable of granting.
