Dragon Ball is a hot topic right now, with the recent release of Dragon Ball XenoVerse being much-discussed over on our sister-site Push Square, with high interest and sales being accompanied by some inevitable issues with online servers. When you take a hugely popular franchise and mash-up a range of its characters in a full-on storyline utilising much of its universe, you have a recipe for fan's passions to run high.
One fan of the IP's iconic Goku has joined the ranks of amiibo customisation, too, taking an existing figure of the character and placing them on a Lucario base, and also going to the trouble to produce some fairly handsome packaging in which it can reside. You can see it below.
Though the figure itself wasn't sculpted, it's still impressive how much effort fans sometimes go to in order to celebrate their favourite franchises; when it comes to manga and anime there aren't may IPs more iconic than Dragon Ball.

I need a SSB4 mod to replace Lucario with Goku now.
Sweet.
Pretty detailed and creative! Not that I want Goku in the game of course.
EDIT: Ok I didn't realize they just stuck a toy on there.
Still easier to find than the Villager.
I will def take goku over a lot of players in ssb
Nice front, but I'll be more interested in seeing it from behind. The box I mean.
@ultraraichu
You dirty bird...
I'd seriously use this for Super Smash Flash 2 if only I could. He's hella' fun to play as there.
Slow news day, huh?
@nintendawesome wake me up when it's not boring..
Make it happen Nintendo...
All we need now is a Vegeta and Shrek amiibo.
All I can think about is that poor Lucario without a base now...
@Iggly Yes on the Shrek idea our god needs an amiibo.NOW!
@DarthNocturnal - Nice one.
Do want.
I would like to see a amiibo set with DBZ characters. A Piccolo amiibo would be awesome!
Great, now when are the Shinji Ikari and Space Dandy amiibo coming out?
Judging by that stand his foot is in, I'm assuming that's supposed to be Wii Fit Trainer.
And I wish Dragon Ball Xenoverse was on Wii U...
I'm still waiting for the first Dragonball game for 3DS... the DS had like 5
Looks cool.
When custom Amiibo makers start making the custom-molded plastic shells that protect the figures inside the big boxy shell, THEN I'll be impressed.
@Superstick i'm currently playing it on X1, did a local match with my brother and instantly demNdes a Wii U version, spilt screen doesn't work with its star fox meets street fighter gameplay.
We know namco like to use amiibo and have seen how it works with one piece, I'd like to see that on xenoverse
Xenoverse is really good and despite being a DB fan, i still say no to amiibo. Goku, Vegeta or otherwise.
Really should have gone with a 3D cel-shaded image for the back card. Still it's a great job and a sign of love for the series from its creator.
Personally I'm not a fan of Toriyama's character designs, which basically means I've completely skipped Dragon Quest.
@nintendawesome There was this one Sunday where the only news that they had was about crossing signs in some state that used Nintendo characters such as Samus.
@Chaoz
Would be awesome with kid goku as an actual character for SSB, only available through amiibo figure.
@Superstick
Indeed, Namco must give Wii U some love soon...
People need to come to grips with the fact that Goku has absolutely no place in Smash and never will be included. Stuff like this just makes me roll my eyes something fierce...
Yeah, this is tedious. Just a toy stuck to a base. Where's the Lucario now? Destroyed?
Dragonball Smash Bros DLC would rock!
@thesilverbrick
Gawd, I know. DBZ fanboys' obsession with putting Goku in EVERYTHING gets tiresome REALLY fast.
My therapy is to read comments on the Superman vs. Goku youtube video, LOL...TOO FUNNY. The butthurt is over 9000!
@Superstick I feel your pain. If xenoverse had been for Wii U I might have had some friends who are PlayStation diehards convert back to Nintendo.
