The Great Deals Singapore article announces a six-week Dragon Ball Super collectible-toy promotion at Burger King Singapore, starting 7 September 2026. The promotion is tied to the King Jr. Meal, with one Dragon Ball figure included per meal, while stocks last. (Great Deals Singapore)
The important part: Singapore has a weekly release
There are six figures, but Singapore is not doing a random/lucky-draw release of all six at once. A separate Singapore-focused report says the campaign is staggered, with one figure introduced each week. (MissLobang)
| Date | Figure |
|---|---|
| 7 Sep | Goku |
| 14 Sep | Vegeta |
| 21 Sep | Piccolo |
| 28 Sep | Super Saiyan Blue Goku |
| 5 Oct | Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta |
| 12 Oct | Beerus |
The six-character lineup is therefore Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Beerus, Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta. (Great Deals Singapore)
Important: The US/Canada promotion is different. There, the figures are distributed randomly with qualifying meals, which appears to have caused some confusion in deal articles. Singapore's campaign is specifically structured as a weekly character release. (MissLobang)
How to collect them
You get one figure with each King Jr. Meal, subject to availability. If you want the complete six-figure set, the Singapore arrangement effectively means buying a King Jr. Meal during six different release weeks. (MissLobang)
One thing the article doesn't tell you is the King Jr. Meal price. The Singapore-focused investigation also notes that Burger King Singapore doesn't clearly publish the price, campaign closing date or a complete participating-outlet list on its website. (MissLobang)
π¬ What people are saying online
I searched Reddit and other indexed social/web discussions for reactions to the promotion. The strongest discussion is currently on Reddit's Dragon Ball communities, although Singapore-specific social discussion appears relatively limited so far—the promotion only launched yesterday.
1. Dragon Ball fans are genuinely excited
The reaction internationally is surprisingly positive for a fast-food collectible. One Dragon Ball Super Reddit thread received 800+ upvotes, with people posting about getting the figures and even ordering Burger King specifically for the toys. (Reddit)
The interesting point is that the appeal isn't limited to children. Adult Dragon Ball fans are openly buying the meals just to get the figures. Another Reddit discussion described the promotion as one of those occasions where someone would visit a fast-food restaurant purely for the toys. (Reddit)
2. Collectors are already trying to complete the set
There's a clear completionist mentality developing. Fans are discussing which characters they want, swapping duplicates and trying to obtain specific figures rather than simply accepting whatever they receive. (Reddit)
Some collectors specifically prioritise Beerus and Vegeta, while others want multiple copies of their favourite character.
This is particularly relevant in Singapore because the weekly-release structure makes collecting somewhat easier to plan: you know exactly which figure should be available each week, rather than gambling on a random character.
3. The figures seem better received than typical fast-food toys
Toy collectors have been commenting positively on the actual figures. ToyArk describes them as roughly 3-inch chibi-style figures, made from hard hollow plastic with multiple paint applications. (Toyark)
Reddit comments similarly describe them as surprisingly good for shelf/display purposes. (Reddit)
4. But there are complaints about availability
One recurring frustration overseas is that restaurants don't necessarily have the character people want. Some customers reported stores having only particular figures, leading to people visiting repeatedly or trying different outlets. (Reddit)
That's something I'd watch closely in Singapore, especially for Beerus and the Super Saiyan Blue figures, which may attract collectors.
5. Some people think it's a "cash grab"
There is also the predictable criticism that fast-food collectible campaigns encourage people to buy meals they don't really want just to obtain toys. One fast-food Reddit discussion explicitly called the promotion an overpriced "cash grab", although other commenters happily admitted they were buying it anyway.
So the sentiment is essentially:
Dragon Ball fans: π₯ "I need these."
Collectors: π "Gotta catch all six."
Value-conscious customers: πΈ "I'm paying for a kids meal just for a plastic figure?"
πΈπ¬ My take for a Singapore family
For your family with three children, this is actually a pretty good Burger King promotion if the kids like Dragon Ball.
The biggest advantage is the predictable weekly schedule. You don't need to keep buying meals hoping to get Beerus, for example. You can simply target:
7 Sep → Goku
14 Sep → Vegeta
21 Sep → Piccolo
28 Sep → SSB Goku
5 Oct → SSB Vegeta
12 Oct → Beerus
And because there are three children, you could potentially collect multiple copies of the week's figure in one family visit—but there's little reason to do that unless you're specifically collecting multiples.
⭐ Overall rating
| Aspect | My rating |
|---|---|
| Character selection | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Collectability | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Appeal to kids | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Appeal to adult Dragon Ball fans | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Value for money | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Ease of completing set | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Singapore rollout | ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ |
Bottom line: This looks like a strong nostalgic/collectible promotion rather than merely a food promotion. The most important correction to the original Great Deals article is that Singapore's figures are released one character per week, not randomly from all six. (MissLobang)
If you're planning to collect all six, I'd mark the six Mondays on your calendar, especially 12 October for Beerus, and go early during each release week because the promotion is explicitly while stocks last. (Great Deals Singapore)
