Dragon Ball is a merchandising powerhouse on the level of Mickey Mouse or Star Wars. This is not really a collection you could hope to complete, there were hundreds and hundreds of these things, some sold in vending machines or blind boxes and others sold in window boxed sets in toy stores over the course of decades. Some were obviously from individual lines, like the gold ones and the stubby guys with straight arms. I have a capsule insert from a series of painted figures that came around the end of DBZ, this "official" line from Bandai had figures numbered as high as #472. And there were certainly more after that.
Anyway, the figures in the pictures to follow are my collection. They are the merest drop in the bucket compared to what's probably still out there, but I'm posting them in the interest of documenting some of what's available. I assume every color of these are equally available, so I only photographed special color variations.

First Tenka'ichi Budokai set- these were apparently sold as a boxed collection as the rubber is different and some figures are very large. They add a nice splash of extra color to my box even though some of the sculpting is not as good as the gashapon figures. RanFan was especially disappointing, not sexy at all!
Yamcha, RanFan, Naam, Giran
Budokai Semi-Finalists- probably the only figures these guys ever got. Bacterian is conspicuously absent from the set, I've added a different sculpt of him.
