With the beginning of UFO plushes popularity in Japan, Banpresto launched their first of many DBZ set during 1992. Let's take a look on their first try:
 |
| Why is everyone so angry? Even Bulma! |
|
First thing to note is that these figures are a little smaller than the average UFO plush (15 cms vs 22 cms from most of other ones) so their bodies are a little simpler in terms of fabric and details.
I assume this set is based on the first part of Dragon Ball Z although Bulma has the Freezer saga outfit. Unfortunately there's no villain in this set (at least that I've seen before)
Son Goku
 |
| As you can see, there's almost no detail in the body and clothes. The character's features come with the "iron-transfer" stickers on his face. |
|
|
Krillin
 |
| At least Krillin looks almost exactly as the original one! Haha..... |
Piccolo
 |
| I need to give credit to this design. Piccolo's serious face is as funny as those Slam Dunk plushes |
Master Roshi
 |
| In case you wonder, if you move the shades you can see the Roshi's pervert eyes. The problem is that sunglasses are sewed on the sides to the head so you can't completely remove them. |
Bulma
 |
| I know that hairstyle is from Freezer's saga but that outfit with her name is from.. I don't know. Also, the tag says more like BLUMA instead of BULMA. I don't know if this is a mistake on all production or just mine :( |

Unfortunately there's no paper tag in this set. Just the sewed ones:
 |
| This one just says Dragon Ball Z - Plush number - Piccolo Daimaoh - Copyright info and Difficulty Level to get this ones in the UFO Arcades. |
