S.H. Figuarts FRIEZA First Form & Pod Dragon Ball Z Action Figure Review

[@nestronicalnet7620]

There was something about them going to toriyama to get the sculpt for the inside of friezas pod and then toriyama also gave them references to change the faces. They apparently changed things that he pointed out so it could be why the faces changed a bit from the prototypes.

[@mushaarashi9730]

Gotta wonder why they haven't done that "butterfly" joint they did on the DBS Broly. That worked so well with him and his armour. Maybe it doesn't work so well with smaller characters like Frieza, but no reason it's not on someone like Ginyu or Burter.

[@SanicSez]

they do the gamefreak style-make something good then mess it up at least 25%. Compare piccolo to piccolos Dad

How is that your favorite?

[@garlicsalt317]

@@ajsworld7786 but dragon stars is worse quality like what

[@ultragodzillafan]

I wish the DBZ Figuarts that had tails would use articulation similar to the Monsterarts tails. A lot more poseability that way.

[@Slaheir]

Don’t have any of the same issues to do with skin tones not matching up and armour alignment either. I think you must have got a poorly handled copy because my ear piece fits in perfect as well

[@KJCollections]

"Death Ball Super Blasty Finger" is definitely what Frieza should have called his attack haha

[@godofcrap42]

I was mainly interested to see how they did the pod more than the figure, here. If there's a company that can make Frieza's pod a functional accessory, there's no reason we can't get an Eggman figure with an Eggpod.

[@Theforgottencollector]

For me it's a tie between the 2nd fotm and his bulky one. I'd honestly be more excited for a bulky battle damaged one

[@nok4799]

If they make a 2nd form one, I'd say they are better off making king kold first

[@Xô_Bitor]

Love the bulky final form Frieza! Nice review, as always. Been collecting DB SH Figuarts for about 6 months and saw all your reviews to help me decide which figures to buy! Thanks

[@jaycparis]

Third form still is my favorite, so I want me a mecha freeza !! Still eager to get my hands on this release, I was planning to pose it in his pod with the laughing face which looks to be the best face, the eyes issue you correctly raised seems ok with that one.

[@darkknight2346]

He's right about his statements , if we dont complain about the obvious issues this line would be much worse in terms of quality (materials and articulation). I assume you're salty for a shit release that you bought , or youre a Bandai fanboy

[@dankcoyote2404]

@@darkknight2346 I’m not talking about this line specifically, it’s every figure he’s every reviewed. Even if the figure is top line quality, he will find extremely minute imperfections that the common collector would never even notice. Then he’ll label the figure as, “not perfect,” As if any figure will reach his expectations. Cut the arrogance kid, you’re just embarrassing yourself.

[@Nygassso]

@@dankcoyote2404 it’s a review Think it like this, you’re spending money, and expect a good product I don’t know where you live but let’s say you like in the EU, those figures are fucking expensive, especially when they go out of stock I bought Z Broly for 110£, so yes I would expect that the figure is worth the 110£ I spent This Frieza here in the UK is somewhat expensive, 80 something £, which made me not get him because I think he’s basic, the pod helps but 89£ is too much when Cooler Final Form is 75£ on pre order you get me? You should be strict with these because they are usually good, hence the price, they wouldn’t drop the ball on the more wanted figures

[@jopesol7765]

First form frieza is my favorite. I really wish they would release an imperfect cell in the sh figuarts line.

Anthony why is there red lines in your hand that look like paint or Scratches.

[@NightWatch0997]

Man, I just thought about this recently. I think there are 2 reasons why the figuarts dragon ball line still using ball hinge for their head instead of double ball peg. First is aesthetic reason, sometimes having double ball peg on the head is so annoying to straighten up the head with the neck (this is almost always happens to me with their kamen rider line, because on that line they use double ball peg for the head) plus since they use separate piece for the neck that will make it even more annoying to straighten the head. Second, probably technical or minimizing QC issues purpose. In almost any Japanese or any figure that has double ball peg has this QC problem, either it's too tight to the point till it makes squeaky noise (like my mafex hush batman) or too loose. It's rare too get perfectly tight but not loose situation on those double peg joints.

[@legend98ish]

Honestly good point

[@NightWatch0997]

@legend98ish not really honestly 😅. I can't believe that I wrote something stupid back then because I do prefer double-ball pegs for head 😂. Though the first reason is still true, it's kind of annoying to straighten the head with the neck, especially if you're not going to pose it dynamically because they have separate neck part which also connects with a ball peg, so it will move around a lot. The second reason is just nonsense 🤣. The very tight QC thing, while it's true, but it's not that common. Ball hinge or double ball hinge actually have worse qc because, very likely, you can actually break it with or without qc issues.

[@ajsworld7786]

I love 💕 2nd form Frieza and Final Form Frieza and Full Power 100% Final Form Frieza I think 🤔 they call him

[@yonugG23]

I would've loved a comparison to the dragon stars version.

[@Jacky_Raider]

Why aren’t they painting the figuarts anymore? Esp not using the same pearly purple for the head. If they don’t use it for the cooler Ill prob just get the dragon stars for him.

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

Favourite form of Frieza is Final Form and if they were to make another Frieza I'd be down for either 2nd Form or Full Power Frieza.

[@leechqueen4604]

Not gonna lie,the pod was a huge factor in my decision to purchase him. I do like him a lot but Normally I spend that amount of money on Storm Collectibles :/

[@MikE-fu5lc]

Id love to see Frieza form 3. I remember watching Frieza go form 3 from the OG show always was a great twisted part of the show. Hope to see a figure soon

[@aeternum..]

Favorite: Mecha Frieza Wishlist: First (Fourth) form Cooler, Third form Frieza, First/Third/Fourth form Frost, and Mecha Frieza.

[@shadyman1583]

We need a 2nd form frezia best form I'n my opinion

[@badassdanthepowerman6438]

Amen to that! Wish he got a little more to do in his second form in the series, but it makes sense why he doesn’t go back to it, but yeah I agree it’s his best form, and third form being the worst for me.

[@randyvargas7085]

Not sure if you knew this but there’s a guy who 3d print frezia’s chair life size. It looks good too.

[@Jjjcs]

I really hate they stopped shading this figures. Main reason why I stopped collecting the line.

[@TheStrscrm]

I would be happy to have him, although i prefer his final form or even the Golden Frieza. What bugs me is the gap in his backs. Bandai seems to not care about that at all. But, for me, it's much better than Recoome.

[@trillyBTV]

Sh figuarts just keep piggy backing off the dragon stars line making the same figure smh 🤦

[@Theforgottencollector]

I think they use the sales from that line to determine whether or not a figuarts version is wanted

[@antoniomontana2034]

I definitely also want one of his second form since it always (to me anyways) looked the most imposing, powerful and resembles his father before him 😆

[@TFormerRock]

Second form Frieza is my favorite. I want them to make him so bad. He would be huge.

[@MuShinnen]

I'd like to see Second form Frieza because I always liked that look and King Cold. His final more slimmed down form has always been my absolute favorite. Sidnote: his head seems a bit too wide for his proportions. He's a small guy and his head was obviously larger, but something about the shaping of it just seems off to me.

[@nok4799]

His head is supposed to be that big I think, he's an alien so his proportions were always freaky lol

[@MuShinnen]

@@nok4799 It's not about his head being big, it's the proportions of his head as compared to the animation. The box photos of the prototype nailed the proportions, whereas the actual figure looks almost like a bootleg by comparison.

[@nok4799]

@@MuShinnen oh, I see it now, that's weird. Why would they change its appearance from the prototype so much?

[@theneed80g]

My tail is really loose when fitting in the pod

[@JillWouters]

final form is my favourite, but 2nd favourite is 1st form. I actually don't like 2nd form and 3rd form at all, dunno why I don't, just a feeling, I guess. What I would also like is a Frieza first form from the Super Broly movie.

[@rayanesefa462]

The right leg of my frieza sh figuarts has a problem 😥

[@galanga21890]

the combination of no shading and off-putting faces (especially the eyes being as they are) killed this thing for me. the re-release they did of it recently doesn't seem to be any better from what i've seen either. bummer.

Please review raditz!

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

I'm forced to agree with most of your critics, not all but most, for some I need to have the item in hand so I can formulate an opinion. Bandai is filled with money to the brim so they tend to throw somethings out that show less... love then others, it may depend on the person working on them. I think that in the end this Frieza will look very good on display but it definitively has some issues. Thanks for the review Anthony. P.S. Frieza or Freeza depending if it is the anime or the manga has 4 forms, five if you cont the golden one so I would like to see the two missing forms, the second and the third. P.S.1. I could dispense with every movie form even though I'm buying that movie final form one they are releasing (It seems a like a good action figure).

[@sharingansasuke5]

Honestly why haven’t they made the buff Frieza final form yet? Seems like a no brainer. Very odd

[@buubuufigs]

Mine had a pretty major QC which required the store to send replacement parts. Also, was going to Toriyama himself really a good idea? Far be it from me for critiquing his art but it has changed for the worse IMO. If anything, the designers at Tamashii nations know how to capture the style of DBZ better then Toriyama at this point.
