The initial Giochi Preziosi figures had a large repertoire of characters included in the set. Many of these pieces were smaller versions of other previous molds or just plain re-releases of Jakks Pacific and Irwin Toy figures. This specific Tien and [[Super Saiyan]] [[Vegeta]] 2-pack is actually an original mold, unlike any previous figures. Italian manufacturer Giochi Preziosi showcases the two figures in a fighting stance. The Tien figure is unlike any other previous piece, featuring him in a crane stance position as Super Saiyan Vegeta is in a charging stance, holding his hands in tight fists and standing upright. The packaging reads the contents as "Vegeta SS vs Tien" and features character art of Tien and Super Saiyan Vegeta on the packaging front. The 2-pack also features a randomized Dragon Ball in the mid-section of the packaging.

Irwin Toy’s initial miniature figurines entitled “Super Warriors” prior to the eventual re-release known as “The Saga Continues” included a Tien in the packaging. Released in 1998, this Tien figurine came with [[Bojack]], [[Super Saiyan]] [[Gohan]], [[Piccolo]], Super Saiyan [[Goku]], and an adult Gohan. The packaging differs greatly from the future releases as it was a sealed box rather than a cardboard with a bubble. However, the cardboard backdrop with bubbles became the norm for “The Saga Continues” releases in the forthcoming year. This Tien figurine was in his martial arts fighting stance posture.

Amongst the various "Saga Continues" releases was a similar Tien miniature figurine. This is the only mini version of this figurine released by Irwin in its 4-pack sets. It is also the same piece that was originally produced by AB and released by Irwin as reissues of the previous Super Guerriers lineups. Also included in this same Saga Continues series 1 4-pack was [[Super Saiyan]] [[Goku]], Super Saiyan [[Vegeta]], and [[Krillin]].

Irwin Toy pretty much re-released all the previous Super Guerriers figurines in 1999. Tien was no exclusion as when series 7 was released, he was included with the others from the previous lineup. The mini-figure remains the same aside from the basic packaging layout being larger by the bubble and cardboard size. However, the contents remain the same and the figures remain unaltered. This series is considered the miniature releases that went along with Irwin’s basic 5 inch lineup. Standing at 2 inches, the miniature Tien figurine comes in his fighting stance as he maintains a gripped posture.

Irwin Toy has also re-released all the previous Super Guerriers figurines in an even smaller base, miniatures by the size of an inch and a half. Tien was included in the Series 5-8 set which held 12 miniature sized characters in one package. The mini-figure remains the same aside from the basic packaging layout being different with blue boxart rather than orange and yellow from the previous "Saga Continues" set. This Tien is very similar to the Coffret No. 7 version, albeit being a smaller variant.

The 12 inch Action Collection was a nice series released by Irwin Toy in 2000 incorporating some of the Dragon Ball Z heroes in 12 inch format. These are doll-like figures standing at the 12 inch scale and feature material clothing as well as having somewhat pose-able joints. Tien is wearing a white shirt for his top and green pants along with red lining on his belt and wrists. Included in the Action Collection set are [[Piccolo]], Tien, [[Vegeta]], [[Future Trunks]], [[Super Saiyan]] [[Goku]], and Goku. These figures are quite well sculpted for Dragon Ball Z collectors and are some of the only pieces available not only in the 12 inch scale but also as doll pieces with clothing.

A very memorable addition by Irwin is the Model Kit series, which included some assembly-required characters. The set included some characters such as Tien, [[Piccolo]], [[Super Saiyan]] [[Vegeta]], and adult [[Gohan]]. This model of Tien was very unique and featured him as a 6 inch sculpt. For one, the figure's clothing is rubber rather than basic plastic. Also, the figure comes together quite nicely, fitting into place and allowing for the clothes to come on top of the figure base. Tien's model features his white shirt and green pants and his body movement is quite a bit more mobile in comparison to the basic figures offered by Irwin. The model kit stands at about 6 and a half inches, this being a bit greater in height when placed next to the 5 inch base figure. Although there's a great amount of work put into these model kits, they were produced at a lesser number by assortment in comparison to the basic figure line. Other model kits in series 1 which were released in 2000 were that of [[Goku]], Vegeta, [[Future Trunks]], Super Saiyan Future Trunks, Super Saiyan [[Gohan]], Teen Trunks (with long hair), Super Saiyan Goku. Series 3 was released in 2002 and included [[Dr. Gero]], [[Perfect Cell]], [[Android 16]], and Super Saiyan Teen Gohan.
