I still haven't seen any of these in person. I don't personally believe they are for sale in the US, because otherwise they would be a lot easier to find. They were supposed to be $7 in USD. You can find them on Amazon and ebay, but the sellers are asking over $20 each. This 3 pack has shown up from a seller in Hong Kong on ebay as well.   I can't lie, I'm not very excited about these at all, so perhaps Bandai decided the US market wouldn't have a lot of interest in them or something. If they were 5 inch scale and perfectly scaled with old Super Battle Collection figures, I am sure US and Japanese collectors would be interested in at least Frieza since he was left out of the SBC line in his regular 4th form. But from what few comparison pics I've seen, they look smaller than 4 inches tall.  It seems like they are available in the UK, Mexico, Hong Kong, and maybe some other places. |

I was pretty excited myself ngl, but yeah I've given up hope on finding them, and at the marked up prices I could just get an evolve or new dragon stars. Kinda makes sense they wouldn't sell them here considering Dragon Ball evolve's only about $3-4 more.

Looks like I forgot to post this news here in December. I had found these images on Facebook of SS Rose Goku Black in the package, along with SSB Goku and SSB Vegeta. Edit: I just realized via a google search that these images came from an ebay listing that ended: www.ebay.com/itm/155317200267 The seller is located in Taiwan.     I wouldn't be surprised if DB Flash figures ended up being kind of like the Bandai 2008 (I think that's the right year) figures, where there were several characters who were in such short supply and only released in a few countries, that they became quite rare and expensive. I remember one of these was a rather large Frieza with snap on Mecha Frieza parts and the other was (I think) and Original Collection SS Gotenks, SS4 Goku, and SS4 Vegeta (though I could be remembering wrong). Whatever the case, these DB Flash figures are not easy to find online and definitely don't seem like they are sold in the US. |

Hello, I am a new user from Argentina. I bought these figures because here they are cheap, since the SHF are very expensive. I don't know how to upload an image to the page but I have the 5 figures in their blister pack hanging on the wall and they look very pretty. Now I'm waiting for these new three figures with goku and vegeta SSB to come out (apparently only the hair color changes). It is a good line of figures since they are cheap for my pocket. I would like them to bring out other different characters. Which ones would you like or which ones do you think will come next? I think that the next round will have Trunks and some villain like Hit or Jiren, I hope so!! When I learn to upload images I upload a photo of the collection!

Despite being sold by 'bandai America' I doubt they're in the US otherwise they'd be more prevalent on Ebay. Only sites I've seen that Black are on Mexican selling sites. I wonder how the Goku or Black scale to HG figures. Broly's bigger as he should be.

goku64 I'm not sure. If these were $7 and sold in the US, I'm sure we'd know the answer to that.

Gonstead do you plan on buying any? If so, I'd love to see a side-by-side of the Frieza with SBC Frieza 100% or Jakks Frieza form 4.

Branjita Fraid I don't own either of those two figures. Best I could do is alongside some of the DB Evolve Figures if that would help.

Seeing him next to Evolve's Golden Frieza would be perfect!

The one I don't have of all figures! I do have SHF Golden Frieza which is basically the same height. I'll get to it later today.

Branjita Bit later than I intended but here's a few results. Side by side next to Evolve and Figuarts.  Unfortunately they are too small to scale next to any of the Frieza figures you requested. Figuarts Golden Frieza here is the same height as Evolve and Jakks.  All hope is not lost though! Further testing shows they actually scale perfectly next to Shodo Neo figures. Same exact scale!  This also means they scale perfectly next to Evolve Broly.

Awesome photos Gonstead! I shared them on the DBF Facebook!
It's a shame they are so small. It would have been really cool if they were the same size as SBC since they are articulated the same way.

A shame indeed. On a similar note about scale, judging by images of the figures lined up next to each other I think the Broly might actually be in scale with the pre-Neo Shodo figures which were roughly a head or two smaller than the Shodo Neo figures. Shodo Neo Broly looks to be roughly the same height as Flash Broly.   |

They fulfill their function of being an affordable and accessible line for everyone. Not everyone can buy SHF or Dragon Stars
