DRAGON BALL Z - Bardock - Figure Masterlise 25 cm

This exceptional figurine from the prestigious Masterlise range (Ichibansho sub-category) by the leading brand Banpresto depicts the rebel warrior and biological father of Son Goku: Bardock.

The figurine stands out for its imposing dimensions, with a remarkable height of approximately 25 cm – a size specific to the ‘Masterlise’ range, which guarantees a level of detail and visual impact far superior to standard ranges. The design captures the Saiyan in an upright, proud and determined pose, reflecting his rebellious spirit in the face of tyranny. The high-quality PVC sculpture pays meticulous attention to the finest anatomical and sartorial details, reproducing with millimetre-level precision his spiky black hair – typical of his lineage – his distinctive cross-shaped scar on his left cheek, his green and black space combat armour with flexible shoulder guards, as well as his famous headband tied around his bloodstained forehead. The paintwork highlights the contours of his athletic musculature and the intensity of his combative gaze.

This high-end collector’s item is primarily aimed at long-standing admirers of Akira Toriyama’s masterful work, enthusiasts of the series’ original stories, and discerning collectors of major pieces. The item is perfectly suited for display in a showcase. It is delivered mounted on its dedicated display base inside an original cardboard box featuring the licence’s colours.

In the Dragon Ball Z lore, Bardock is a low-ranking space warrior and leader of a squad of fearsome mercenaries conquering worlds on behalf of the galactic tyrant Frieza. During the conquest of the planet Kanassa, he receives a mystical blow that grants him the gift of foresight, haunting him with visions of horror showing the imminent extermination of his people and the future of his second son, Kakarot (Son Goku). Realising that Frieza is plotting to annihilate the planet Vegeta out of fear of the legend of the Super Saiyan, Bardock tries in vain to convince his comrades to rise up. Alone against the space dictator’s army, wounded and wearing an eye patch soaked in the blood of his slaughtered comrades, he launches a final, desperate assault across space. His heroic sacrifice in the face of Frieza’s destructive Nova will seal the fate of his race whilst giving rise to the legend of Saiyan resilience, passed on to his son sent to Earth.
