I have found 5 or 6 on ebay. But they do not really give any info about it other than it is by banpresto. Does any one know anything else about it? Like what series it is from, othes in the series? Any other info is welcome. THANKS!

I recall seeing a Vegeta figure in this series that belonged to a friend of mine. Other than that i really don't know much about this series of figures.

This won't be helpful to you, but I know I want one :O <3

All I can tell you is that it says Ichiban kuji on the box, and it's made by Banpresto

After running a search on that, I was able to find out that this Vegeta is only part of a larger set of Dragon Ball figures and other items released under Banpresto's Ichiban Kuji line, which consists of material from a variety of different anime such as Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Macross Frontier, Code Geass, and of course Dragon Ball.

Turns out that Prince Vegeta figure was part of a release including baby Goku in his Saiya-jin pod, a rather nifty-looking Bardock figure, pillows, Saiya-jin tail accessories, and a few other things:
Dragon Ball Z Ichiban Koji

A more recent set of figures came out under the Kai name of what appear to be more figures including Goku doing Kaioken, Piccolo, there's some Senzu jars, Dragon Balls, it all seems pretty nice:
Dragon Ball Kai Ichiban Koji

Finally, running a search on eBay brought up these items, among them the Ginyu Force and some Dragon Ball ones as well - Goku, Kuririn, Jackie Chun, and the Tenkaichi Budokai announcer:

And finally, my source news posts for the two images:

It seems like an awesome collection, and I certainly wouldn't mind owning most of those character figures.
