Bandai Namco announced its Banpresto line will soon include a Dragon Ball Super ultra-long Shenron plush. It will be 80cm long, which is over two and a half feet. It will show up in crane games in Japan starting on December 25, 2024, and a post on the official site in English notes it is “coming soon.”
The official listing in Japan showed two photos of the Dragon Ball Super plush Shenron. Each one shows it from a single perspective and side. The main body is one long piece, with legs sown onto the sides. There are also decorative accents such as the fringe around his neck, his whiskers, and the spikes along his spine. There are no other items alongside it to offer context for the size of the plush.
Here’s the other official picture promoting the plush:
While we’ll see this plush in Japan very soon, it will be a while until we see more of the Dragon Ball Super manga. The series’ hiatus ended up being extended again. It is now expected to return in March 2025. The last chapter released was 103, and that debuted in March 2024.
However, in the meantime there will be a special release of the original 42 volumes of Dragon Ball. A Dragon Ball Super Gallery was announced at Jump Festa 2025. It will feature alternate covers drawn by other famous mangaka.
The Dragon Ball Super ultra-long Shenron plush will appear in Japanese crane games starting on December 25, 2024, and we may see it worldwide. Viz handles the manga releases outside of Japan, while the anime adaptation is streaming on Crunchyroll.
