MegaHouse[]

Capsule Neo Tenkaichi Budokai series Giran versus Goku set

  • Capsule Neo Tenkaichi Budokai Part 17
  • Release date: 2008

The first MegaHouse series to incorporate Giran was a capsule special edition set released in April 2008. The series, entitled “Tenkaichi Budokai,” portrayed previous scenes with Goku and others from the Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z series in relation to the world tournament bouts. This specific diorama portrayed Giran along with Goku in their deadly scuffle, with Giran getting the upper hand by blasting his Merry-Go-Round Gum at Goku and ensnaring him in a tight grip using this sticky yet effective maneuver. Giran's model is well-detailed for a miniature diorama piece and the overall impression on his gum is quite nice, particularly due to the fact that there's a transparency to the purple-colored base of his attack. Others included in this set are the World Tournament Announcer riding his hover-car, Majin Vegeta blasting the World Martial Arts Tournament crowd, Kid Gohan running on the World Martial Arts Tournament ground with Piccolo and Goku in the background, Piccolo standing on top of the tournament, Krillin slamming Chiaotzu in the gut, Pikkon declaring victory, and Kid Goku and Krillin in suits preparing for the tournament.

This series, much like its predecessors, was also released as an alternate gold base, with both figures coming as gold versions along with colored ones. Giran's gum still holds Goku the same way as the alternate color version. Others included in this set are the World Tournament Announcer riding his hover-car, Majin Vegeta blasting the World Martial Arts Tournament crowd, Kid Gohan running on the World Martial Arts Tournament ground with Piccolo and Goku in the background, Piccolo standing on top of the tournament, Krillin slamming Chiaotzu in the gut, Pikkon declaring victory, and Kid Goku and Krillin in suits preparing for the tournament.
