Rarity
Common for Customs; Not an official LEGO production.
Head
Double-sided printing with flesh-toned skin. One side features a cheerful grin with wide eyes and iconic anime eyebrows. The top features a custom-molded black spiky hair piece characteristic of Son Goku.
Torso
Custom pad printing or UV printing on a light purple torso base. Features a blue sleeveless overshirt with a black-lined Chinese-style collar and fastener (frog button). Light purple arms and tan hands.
Legs
Light purple short legs (representing a child character). Features black and white printing at the feet to simulate traditional martial arts shoes and a white belt/sash detail printed at the waistline.
Accessories
The figure as shown includes a specialized custom-molded hairpiece. Usually, these figures are sold with a 'Power Pole' (red staff), but it is missing in the image.
Color Scheme
Blue and light purple/lavender with black accents and tan skin tones.
Printing Details
Machine-applied UV or pad printing covering the torso, hips, and toes. Detail level is high, mimicking the look of official LEGO 'Minifigures' but using a non-sanctioned art style.
Variants
Numerous versions exist from brands like WM Blocks, POGO, or KT; some versions feature the 'Turtle School' orange gi instead of this blue training outfit.
Condition Notes
Custom figures often have lower quality plastic than official LEGO. Look for stiff joints or loose hairpieces. Printing on these third-party figures is prone to scratching easier than official LEGO ink.
Estimated Value
Used: $1.00 - $3.00 USD; New: $3.00 - $5.00 USD.
Price (New)
Usually sold via third-party marketplaces (AliExpress, eBay, or independent custom sites) for approximately $2.00 to $5.00.
Compatible Sets
None. This is an unofficial figure and was never included in any official LEGO product sets.
Character Background
Based on Son Goku from the Dragon Ball franchise created by Akira Toriyama. This specific outfit represents his early childhood attire seen during the initial search for the Dragon Balls and his training with Grandpa Gohan.
Design Notes
The hair mold is a unique third-party creation as LEGO does not have a license for Dragon Ball and does not produce this specific hair geometry.
Similar Minifigures
Other custom Dragon Ball figures (Vegeta, Krillin, Bulma) or official LEGO Ninjago figures which use similar martial arts aesthetics.
Collectibility
Low for serious LEGO purists; Moderate for anime fans who enjoy 'MOC' (My Own Creation) displays and want characters LEGO does not officially produce.
History
LEGO has never held the license for Dragon Ball; as a result, a massive secondary market of 'bootleg' or 'custom' figures emerged from China to fill the demand.
Interesting Facts
Despite the high demand, LEGO has stated through LEGO Ideas that Dragon Ball is a 'restricted' IP, likely due to licensing conflicts with Bandai/Namco and the combat-heavy nature of the show.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Dragon Ball custom figures or on a cloud-shaped (Kinto-un) baseplate build.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are often used by customizers to create other anime characters with spiky black hair.
Overall Assessment
This is a non-LEGO, third-party custom minifigure. While it is 'compatible' with LEGO bricks, it holds no value as a LEGO collectible. It is a budget-friendly way for fans of the anime to own a minifigure representation of the character.
