The company ENTERBAY hinted on their blog that Dragonball: Evolution collectable figures will be coming in the second quarter of 2009.
ENTERBAY has done figures for Bruce Lee and Jet Li as well as for television shows like 24 and Mr. Bean.
Happy holidays from dragonball.saiyanisland.com!
Kyle Hebert confirms via his blog that Christopher Sabat (the voice of Vegeta, Piccolo, and more in DBZ) will not be voicing Shenron in the live action movie, despite being listed on IMDB and other sites.
I ran into good ol’ Chris Sabat (DBZ director, voice of Vegeta, Yamcha, Piccolo, Mr. Pop, Shenron, etc) while I was recording at Funimation today and asked him since his name is listed on the movie’s credits on IMDB and numerous message boards have been buzzing about this for months. The answer, I was told, is no.
Who do you want to voice Shenron? Discuss on the forums!

Jump Festa has come and gone, but we’ve collected the most important information on Dragonball: Evolution’s presence at the event for those of you who couldn’t attend.
First, at the 20th Century Fox booth, Goku’s and Bulma’s costumes from the movie were on display, as well as Yamcha’s truck and Bulma’s motorcycle. You can check out a video report (in Japanese) at the official Jump Festa website.
Next, a few people have noted that in the flyer for the movie, Akira Toriyama (the creator of Dragonball) is listed as an executive producer along with Tim Van Rellim. We aren’t sure how reliable this information is, but it wouldn’t be uncommon.
Unfortunately, no new footage of the movie was shown. Below is the only new material from the movie we could find, which is a photo of Bulma (Emmy Rossum) and Goku (Justin Chatwin) that was on display.
Dragonballfilm.es has a report (in Spanish) here and a video here.
Arlong Park also has some vague information on the panel, which includes info on the movie’s video game and a quote from Akira Toriyama!
Greg: “Bulma’s Bike is here evidently. This looks bad; they pulled out Akiba Idols to promote Nozawa. What were they thinking?”
(23:33 EST) Greg: “So far I am severely unimpressed. We’re listening to airheads talk about some very basic stuff.”
“Finally some interesting information coming out. Nozawa thinks Cell is the most frightening villian.”
(23:51 EST) Greg: “First game pictures look like DBZ Sparking but with real textures. Bulma seems to be a fighter this time around. They’re also giving out door prizes; Movie Tickets, etc. One guest won a role in the dub of the movie.” (Live Action Movie?)
(00:05 EST) Greg:“Toriyama left a message to the cast and crew of the movie: He felt surprised when he saw everything but after meeting the cast and crew, he felt they were splendid. He hopes that it will become a new Dragon Ball to be enjoyed and confirms that he is very much looking forward to it.”
The international trailer (available online) was presented along with a video introduction by Justin Chatwin and Emmy Rossum.
Fox Japan has launched the official website for Dragonball: Evolution. No new material is on it yet but it does have the official Japanese trailer and some older news. Click the logo below to go to the site!
In the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, an advertisement was found for an upcoming video game based on the movie. Tentatively titled, “Dragonball The Movie,” the game has been revealed to be a fighter distributed by Bandai Namco Games for the Sony PSP. It’ll be released in Japan in March to coincide with the movie’s release.
We didn’t get much of Yamcha (Joon Park) in the trailer, but thanks to Civilized James you can check him out in this new promo photo.
