Super Saiyan Goku

Released in 2014 as part of Funko's burgeoning Pop! Animation line, this figure depicts Goku in his iconic Super Saiyan form from the Dragon Ball Z franchise. It was produced during a period when Funko was aggressively expanding its licensing reach to include seminal anime properties, aiming to translate the stylized, wide-eyed aesthetic of Japanese animation into their signature vinyl toy format. The figure features the character's distinct golden hair and tattered orange gi, capturing his appearance during the climactic battles of the series.

The design follows the classic Pop! template—a large, square-ish head and simplified features—which serves to unify the various characters in the collection. While the line eventually grew into an expansive series featuring numerous variants and characters from across the franchise, number 14 remains a foundational piece for collectors of early animation-themed vinyl figures. It was well-received by the growing community of anime enthusiasts and toy collectors who sought an accessible, displayable representation of one of the most recognizable figures in modern animation history.
