Dragon Ball Expands Its Official Z Fighters Figure Collection with New Future Trunks Release
Future Trunks is getting a new Dragon Ball Z S.H.Figuarts figure based on his appearance during the Android and Cell Saga, with Bandai recreating one of the character’s most recognizable looks from this period of the anime.
The release will join Bandai’s wider “Z Fighters” collection, which is gradually assembling several of Dragon Ball Z’s central characters around a shared display concept inspired by the anime’s opening sequence.
The Android and Cell Saga marks one of Dragon Ball Z’s biggest shifts in direction, beginning with Future Trunks’ arrival from a devastated timeline to warn Goku and the others about the impending appearance of deadly Androids.
The conflict eventually expands to include Cell, a bio-engineered enemy created using the cells of some of the world’s strongest fighters, whose pursuit of his Perfect Form places the entire group under an increasingly serious threat.
Trunks becomes one of the central characters throughout this period, with his relationship with Vegeta developing alongside their training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and battles against Cell and the Androids.
The “S.H.Figuarts Trunks
The approximately 14 cm figure is designed to reproduce both Trunks’ relaxed appearance and more action-focused scenes from this period of Dragon Ball Z.
Two different sets of thigh parts are included, allowing him to be displayed either standing with his hands inside his pockets or with conventional leg pieces fitted for combat poses.
Two alternate head parts recreate his hair blowing in the wind, complementing the more relaxed pocket pose and providing additional display options beyond the standard hairstyle.
Four interchangeable expressions are included alongside six pairs of replacement hands, giving the figure a considerable selection of combinations for recreating different moments from the anime.
Trunks’ sword and sheath are also included, allowing him to be displayed armed despite the figure focusing on his later tank top appearance.
The head and facial parts are compatible with the separately sold “Super Saiyan Trunks – The Boy from the Future -” S.H.Figuarts, allowing collectors who own both releases to swap elements between the two figures.
The first production run receives an additional bonus in the form of “Z Fighters Gathering Base B,” one section of a much larger display intended to recreate the group composition from the Dragon Ball Z opening.
Base B can be combined with Gathering Bases A and C, included with other separately sold Z Fighters releases, eventually creating a single large display for the characters.
Bandai has also revealed a new “S.H.Figuarts Vegeta
Pre-orders for both figures will begin on September 1 through general hobby goods retailers such as HobbyLink Japan, with Trunks scheduled for release in March 2027 and Vegeta following in April 2027.
Fans in the US may also see both figures offered through Bandai’s official Premium Bandai US retail channel once pre-orders officially open.
