Choosing between these two action figures is a decision about how you want to collect. One is a finished PVC figure; the other is a sealed model kit that hands you an Alien-theme build. Both are new, but they ask different things from you. In one corner you get a project; in the other you get a poseable collectible.
Quick Verdict
If you want a finished, ready-to-pose action figure, choose the Dragon Ball PVC figure. If you want an Alien-theme model-building project, choose the MPC Alien kit and spend your time assembling the figure. Assembling a model kit is not the same as unboxing a finished figure; that is the real trade-off in this head-to-head.

MPC Alien Model Kit

- The assembly status is unassembled kit, which makes the build part of the appeal.
Dragon Ball PVC Figure

- The movable design and Dragon Ball theme, including Bulma and Son Goku, make it a direct display collectible.
- The lower listed price means you get a themed figure for a smaller budget commitment.
Product Notes
MPC ALIEN 9" Action Figure Model Kit 2013 MPC793/12 NEW SEALED
This is the option for someone who wants an Alien collectible with a deliberate build step. The product name identifies it as a 2013 MPC793/12 model kit, and it is new and sealed. It uses plastic construction and the set includes a figure, so the finished piece has a clear place in an Alien display. Because the assembly status is unassembled kit, the final shelf piece comes together after you build it. The set includes one figure, which keeps the project focused. The main limitation is that you are paying for a project rather than a ready-built figure, so it fits best with a builder's mindset. If your goal is instant display, this kit asks for patience before the payoff. That patience is the defining difference between the two products.
13cm PVC Movable Action Figure
This Dragon Ball figure is the more immediate collectible for posing and display. It points to Bulma and Son Goku from Dragon Ball, with a Japanese animation source. The material is PVC, and the title calls it a movable action figure, so repositioning is part of the fun. It is a finished good, which means there is no assembly phase to plan around. The 13cm size is compact when compared with the 9-inch Alien kit, so it takes less shelf space. The compact size makes it a good candidate for a desk or smaller shelf. The limitation is that it is a smaller finished figure rather than a build project, so there is less hands-on time. You get a finished hobby piece without the build phase.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the MPC Alien kit when you want a themed Alien display and the experience of building a kit yourself. The product is framed around the build, so the display payoff comes only after assembly.
Choose the Dragon Ball PVC figure when you want a finished, movable action figure that is ready to place and pose from the start. You skip the kit phase and go straight to arranging the figure on a shelf.
