Dragon Ball Z - Raditz - DX Action Figure (Banpresto)Raditz · Banpresto

Banpresto's DX Action Figure line features Raditz from Dragon Ball Z, capturing the Saiyan warrior in collectible form. Part of the SCulture Big Budoukai 5 Volume 4 series, this figure stands approximately 5.9 inches tall and is constructed from ABS and PVC materials. It retailed for 1,600 JPY. Raditz is one of the earliest and most pivotal antagonists in Dragon Ball Z, arriving on Earth at the very beginning of the Saiyan Saga to check on his younger brother Kakarot, known on Earth as Goku. As a mid-class Saiyan warrior who survived the destruction of Planet Vegeta, Raditz arrives expecting to find Earth conquered and is surprised to discover Goku has become a defender of the planet rather than its conqueror. His arrival sets the entire Dragon Ball Z saga in motion, as his confrontation with Goku and Piccolo reveals Goku's alien heritage and introduces the concept of Saiyans to the series. Raditz's arrogance and ruthlessness embody the warrior culture of the Saiyan race, and his defeat through the combined efforts of Goku and Piccolo, with Gohan's hidden power emerging during the battle, establishes the escalating threats that define the series. The figure measures approximately 150mm in height and is made from ABS and PVC. As part of Banpresto's SCulture Big Budoukai line, it features detailed sculpting that captures Raditz's distinctive Saiyan armor and long, spiky hair.
