Classic Anime franchise Dragon Ball will be present at the 2023 Comic Con International in San Diego (SDCC) with a special exhibition. The exhibition will be held at an outside booth at the Mariott Marquis Marina Terrace.

SDCC 2023 will be held this year at the San Diego Convention Center on July 20-23, 2023, with a preview night held on July 19, 2023. While nothing has been announced, Comic Con is often the stage for big reveals, so it may be worth keeping an eye on the official event site. Bandai Namco promised more new information soon. There are often exclusive pieces of merchandise as well, which could mean special figures only available at the event. There will also be a showing of the movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero which has not one but two crossovers with Fortnite.

In May 2023, Bandai Namco celebrated Goku and King Piccolo Day. "Goku" Day is every year on May 9th. Uniqlo also opened orders for a line of Dragon Ball shirts commemorating various story arcs.

The Dragon Ball special exhibition booth at SDCC 2023 will be held July 20-23, 2023 at the Mariott Marquis Marina Terrace. The convention itself will be held those same dates at the San Diego Convention Center.

The 2022 Comic-Con International (a.k.a. the San Diego Comic Con) is coming. And with it, is a wave of exclusive merchandise for attendees. Bandai Namco Collectibles is bringing four Dragon Ball Z SDCC exclusive S.H. Figuarts figures to the event. SDCC exclusive items are usually sold only to Comic-Con attendees at the various exhibitor booths on the show floor. In some cases just the chance to purchase these items is subject to lottery-style distribution among certain groups of attendees. For its part, Bandai's exclusives - including the Dragon Ball Z SDCC figures - will be available at its booth.

The Dragon Ball Z SDCC exclusives for 2022 are based on Goku, Majin Buu, Shenron, and Android 16.

The Son Goku S.H. Figuarts figure is based on his Super Saiyan 2 power mode. A straight upgrade of the Super Saiyan transformation, Super Saiyan 2 is even more powerful. Its wielders have even spiker hair, a more dramatic aura, and occasionally flash with lightning. Goku has three pairs of hands, three faces, a halo, and a special set of visual effect parts.

The Majin Buu S.H. Figuarts figure is based on Majin Buu's Good form. In good form, the fearsome fighter is a portly paragon. He comes with two pairs of hands, three faces, an Angel Halo, and a handy chocolate bar.

Android representation comes to the Dragon Ball Z SDCC exclusive line through Android 16. This version has an improved paint job that sticks more closely to his look in the anime. He has interchangeable hands, two faces, and an exchangeable head.

Finally, the divine dragon Shenron rounds out the offering. The figure is over 11 inches long, and comes with a custom pedestal to prop him up. The base also shows an arrangement of all seven Dragon Balls, making him ready to grant a wish.

Another event has announced an online counterpart following its physical cancellation. The physical San Diego Comic Con 2020 was canceled back on April 17, 2020, the first time that has ever happened, with a commitment to hold SDCC 2021 between July 22-25, 2021 in San Diego, California. Now Comic Con at Home has been announced for 2020 via Twitter.

As is common with these sorts of announcements, the organizers haven’t explained exactly what will go into this online event just yet. Only a preview trailer noting it will be accessible for everyone has been released.

However, there are some hints as to how this Comic Con at Home could go. A WonderCon at Home experience has been sharing s online as part of a WonderCon Wednesday initiative. A Power Rangers was held on April 30, 2020, for example, as well as one from Kodansha USA recommending different manga on May 9, 2020.

This is one of many other physical events with digital events coming up to make up for pandemic cancellations. The Tokyo Game Show 2020 will have some sort of online presence. Evo 2020 will hold competitions online this year. Gamescom 2020 will also have digital activities in lieu of a physical event.
