Dragon Ball Z Figures & Lamps UK: The Complete Collectibles Guide 2026

Dragon Ball Z figures in the UK split across three meaningfully different product categories that serve different purposes and suit different buyers. Unlike most anime figure collections where the format is consistent (standard PVC statues in various sizes), the DBZ range here mixes traditional display figures, LED lamp figures, and touch-activated magnetic night lights — three formats that look and function quite differently in practice.

This guide covers what's actually in the range, the honest difference between the three formats, and who each suits at each price point.

The Three Format Categories

Traditional PVC Display Figures

Standard static PVC figures designed for shelf, desk, or display cabinet placement. These are the format most people picture when they think of anime figures — a sculpted character in a dynamic or iconic pose, no electronics, display-focused.

Bulma at 24cm, £22.99. The lowest price point in the range and the entry-level traditional figure. Bulma is significantly underrepresented in the UK Dragon Ball figure market relative to her importance in the series — most DBZ figure ranges focus almost exclusively on Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan. A 24cm Bulma figure is a genuine gap-filler for collectors who want broader cast representation beyond the Saiyan leads.

Goku and Shenron at 22cm, £29.99. A two-character piece rather than a solo figure — Goku alongside the Eternal Dragon in a single sculpt. The Shenron element adds visual complexity that a standard Goku solo figure doesn't have, making this a more distinctive display piece than the standard SSJ Goku-in-stance formula. Good for collectors who want something compositionally different from the typical battle pose options.

Trunks at 25cm, £29.99. Future Trunks in Super Saiyan form with sword. Trunks is one of the most requested DBZ characters for figures and one of the more emotionally resonant for fans of the Android/Cell arc specifically. At 25cm and £29.99, this sits at the mid-range for traditional PVC figures and offers the specific appeal of a Future Trunks piece that solo-character fans can display without needing additional pieces around it.

Bulma at 24cm, £22.99. Already covered above.

Son Gohan — two versions available:

• YS Statue at Super Saiyan 2 Gohan — £32.99. Mid-size premium figure capturing the Cell Games Gohan, arguably the single most emotionally charged moment in Dragon Ball Z's history. The SSJ2 Gohan design — the spiky blonde hair, the torn jacket, the latent power finally unleashed — is one of the most requested DBZ figure designs.
• JT Statue at 45cm Super Saiyan Gohan — £59.99. The largest figure in the range and the premium piece. At 45cm, this is a statement display figure that commands significant shelf or surface space. The 45cm scale puts it closer to the premium end of the non-collector-grade figure market and produces a piece that reads as a room focal point rather than one item among many. The Cell Games arc Gohan in SSJ form at this scale is a genuinely imposing display piece.

LED Lamp Figures

Figures that incorporate LED lighting as a functional element — part display piece, part desk lamp. Different proposition to a traditional PVC figure because the light source changes how the piece looks in a dim room and adds ambient functionality.

Krillin 3D LED Night Light — battery powered desk lamp, £31.99. The only battery-powered piece in the range (others are USB). Krillin as a desk lamp specifically is unusual — he's rarely the headline figure in DBZ merchandise, which makes this a specific and slightly unexpected choice that Krillin fans will appreciate precisely because of how rarely he's centred. The 3D LED format means the figure glows from within rather than being lit from behind.

Dragon Ball Anime Figure Night Lamp — 15cm desktop lamp, £38.99. A 15cm desktop decorative lamp. Serves the dual purpose of figure and ambient lighting for a desk setup.

Son Goku Kamehameha DIY Model Figurine / Anime Lamp — £39.99. Notably the word "DIY" in the title means this requires assembly rather than arriving fully built. Worth knowing before buying — if you want something ready to display out of the box, this requires some construction first. The Kamehameha pose as an illuminated lamp format creates a piece that captures the wave-energy effect of the move better than a static figure can.

Touch-Activated Magnetic Night Lights

A third distinct format: magnetic base night lights that activate via touch rather than a switch, typically featuring a character figure above a glowing magnetic levitation or touch-sensor base. Different again from both traditional figures and standard LED lamps.

Vegeta Touch Magnetic Night Light Figure — £38.99. Vegeta is the most requested character in the range for the night light format. The touch activation and magnetic element makes this more of an interactive desk piece than a display figure — it responds to contact, which changes the experience of having it on a desk versus a shelf display.

Master Roshi Touch Magnetic Night Light Figure — £38.99. Master Roshi as a night light is deliberately comic — the combination of his character design and the night light format creates something more playful than imposing. Right for fans who appreciate Roshi's role in the series and want something that reflects the lighter side of Dragon Ball rather than its battle intensity.

Price Tier Summary

• Under £25: Bulma 24cm (£22.99) — entry-level traditional figure, most underrepresented character in DBZ figure market
• £25–£35: Trunks (£29.99), Goku+Shenron (£29.99), Krillin LED (£31.99), Gohan YS (£32.99)
• £35–£45: Vegeta night light (£38.99), Roshi night light (£38.99), Anime figure lamp (£38.99), Goku DIY lamp (£39.99)
• Premium: Gohan JT 45cm (£59.99) — the room statement piece

Who Each Format Suits

Traditional PVC figures suit collectors who want display-focused pieces that work on shelves alongside other figures and room decor without requiring power. They look the same in any lighting condition, which makes them more flexible for different room setups.

LED lamp figures suit desk setups where a functional ambient light source alongside the figure display is useful, or rooms with dim ambient lighting where the glow adds to the room atmosphere. They need a power source (USB or battery depending on the piece) which affects placement options.

Touch magnetic night lights suit interactive desk display — the touch activation means they're best placed where they can be accessed and engaged with rather than on a high shelf or in a cabinet. More of a desk personality piece than a display figure.

The Gap in This Range

The main cast absence in this range is Piccolo, who has no figure in the collection, and Frieza in standard figure format (though the range covers the protagonist side of the roster well). For those characters specifically, dedicated figure import stores and Etsy are the better source.
