The upcoming January 2013 issue of V-Jump, Shueisha’s video game-focused magazine, will come packaged with a few Dragon Ball goodies. To commemorate the two-year anniversary (and 100-million card sales milestone) of Dragon Ball Heroes, the issue will contain a special celebratory article. Also packed in will be a rare Son Goku card (which is the cover for Volume 23 of the original tankōbon release), along with a card case that you put together yourself. The issue goes on sale 21 November 2012.
Additionally, the January 2013 issue of Saikyō Jump, Shueisha’s spin-off manga magazine, will come packaged with a special Son Gohan card also for Dragon Ball Heroes. The card contains an illustration by Akira Toriyama himself — the cover for Volume 33 of the original tankōbon release. The issue goes on sale 04 December 2012, and is already available for pre-order from CDJapan.
It looks like 2013 will be off to a strong promotional start — not too surprising considering the recent revival of Dragon Ball Kai and (perhaps most importantly) the upcoming theatrical movie!
