Dragon Ball Super gains a new collectible for the most devoted fans, and the series’ own artist, Toyotarou, does not hold back on praise. This January 2026, a new collectible figure that combines Goku in Ultra Instinct and Gohan in his Beast form was revealed, causing great excitement. The piece is based on a special illustration that Toyotarou drew to celebrate the manga’s 10th anniversary. Therefore, during an episode of Weekly Dragon Ball News, the artist expressed surprise at the three-dimensional result, stating that the sculpture impressively exceeded his expectations.
The piece is available as a special mail-order offer in Japan for those who purchase the February issue of V Jump magazine. This way, fans can acquire a rare representation of the two characters in their most powerful states, executing a joint attack. The item’s relevance goes beyond collecting, as it captures an iconic moment revisited with the heroes’ maturity. Toyotarou highlighted the technical challenges of adapting the classic father-son Kamehameha for their adult versions, a detail that sculptor VAROQ masterfully resolved by adjusting the pose to maintain visual balance.
Details that impress the artist
During the discussion about the creation, Toyotarou revealed specific requests to differentiate the nature of the powers. He asked for Goku’s fingers, in Ultra Instinct, to be sculpted as if they were “floating,” reflecting the divine aura of the transformation. On the other hand, Gohan in Beast gained an intense and serious facial expression, marking the difference between the divine technique and the primal brute force. Furthermore, the artist emphasized how the sculpture filled in details that were not in the original drawing, making the piece complete in 360 degrees and, therefore, even more valuable for fans.
Meanwhile, the future of the Dragon Ball Super manga remains on hold since the passing of creator Akira Toriyama in 2024, with only a special chapter released in 2025. However, Toyotarou remains connected with the community through his monthly column and other personal projects. Thus, the new figure emerges as an important event to maintain engagement. Now, hope for official news rests on the Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri event, which takes place on January 25, 2026 in Japan and promises to announce news about the future of the franchise.
