Smiffys are excited to announce the latest addition to its licensing portfolio, stepping into the world of anime with the legendary Dragon Ball Z. In collaboration with Toei Animation Europe and Reemsborko, Smiffys will launch a Dragon Ball Z costume collection later this year.
Originally aired in 1989, the action packed saga has remained a staple of pop culture, and its recent resurgence highlights the enduring appeal of legacy anime franchises. As Japanese anime continues to influence Western entertainment markets, this Dragon Ball Z costume range is set to be a hit with cosplayers and collectors alike.
The debut range will focus on the iconic main character Goku, with his signature orange and blue jumpsuit and unmistakable black spiked hair. With the appeal of Dragon Ball Z spanning generations, the costumes will be available for both children & adults.
“The Dragon Ball Z brand is legendary, and we’re excited to welcome Goku and friends to the Smiffys portfolio.” Comments Dominique Peckett, Director at Smiffys. “The anime characters translate brilliantly into costume, making this a perfect collaboration between our 2 brands.”
