Wrath of the Dragon Brings Back Super Saiyan 3 Goku’s Dragon Fist Attack

Dragon Ball Z has had numerous anime movie spinoffs, canon or otherwise, with these helping to cement the brand’s sheer popularity and recognition worldwide. Now, one of these films is being revisited through an artistic expression of Son Goku’s ultimate power in the series.

The Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon Movies Collection Super Saiyan 3 Goku (Dragon Fist Attack Ver.) 1/4 Scale Limited Edition Statue by Tsume-Art is an incredible new collectible that’s just been made available for pre-order, both in the Land of the Rising Sun and internationally.

Based on one of Goku’s most triumphant battles, it features him in the most powerful form that he took in this particular chapter of the franchise. Bristling with detail and power, it’s one of the best translations from screen to collector’s shelf.

Goku Unleashes the Wrath of the Dragon in New DBZ Statue

As the name suggests, the new Tsume-Art Goku statue is based on his appearance in the anime movie Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon. Goku is in his Super Saiyan 3 form, with his long blond hair flowing down his back. His clothes are about as ripped as his body, and his smirking face reveals prominent battle damage.

Nevertheless, he’s posed valiantly as he unleashes the power of the Ryuken, or Dragon Fist. A gigantic golden dragon manifests behind him as he prepares to deliver the ultimate blow to the monstrous Hirudegarn. Other elements include the crackling yellow energy surrounding the dragon, making the power of the scene truly tangible. Made of polyresin and standing at almost two feet in height, the impressive statue will instantly make a statement amid other Dragon Ball Z collectibles.

Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon was the final movie in the franchise released under the Dragon Ball Z banner for years until the release of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods. The brand was subsequently continued with new iterations such as Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Super, Dragon Ball Xenoverse and more.

Unlike most of the other films released beforehand, Wrath of the Dragon can fit comfortably into the anime’s main timeline (sometime after Kid Buu’s defeat but before DBZ‘s 10-year time skip and the 28th World Martial Arts Tournament), although it isn’t considered officially canon.

Tsume-Art’s Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon Movies Collection Super Saiyan 3 Goku (Dragon Fist Attack Ver.) 1/4 Scale Limited Edition Statue can now be pre-ordered on websites such as BigBadToyStore, but the wait — and the price — will both be quite high. Listed at US$1199.99, the statue is expected to be released in January 2028. This will be over 30 years since the original release of Wrath of the Dragon, finally delivering on one of the most impressive Super Saiyan 3 statues ever.
