S.H. Figuarts FRIEZA Second Form Dragon Ball Z Action Figure Review

[@primusvsunicron1]

this will definitely be remolded into King Cold

Agree

[@sigmotality]

I can see that

[@eliseiburai675]

Oh we all waiting for that to happen 😂

[@happymoomoocow]

And I will buy it

[@EckerKyle]

was thinking the same.

[@snakeshadowcollectibles6835]

Ah, Frieza's second form, also known as Krillin's first time.

[@javiermartinezmoya9747]

It's his second, actually

[@waltermalone216]

​@@javiermartinezmoya9747Referring to Krillin being penetrated...😊

[@raven0696]

Can't believe they ball hinged the head again. I thought they abandoned that already by now, since all 3.0 figures have the double ball peg. Other than that, great figure. Need it.

Good to see something different in the Dragon Ball SHFiguarts line, hope they’ll make a Yadrat Goku soon, it’s the one I’ve been waiting for a while. Also fav transformation is the last one, but make it mecha 😎

[@MrAdam802]

Wow this figure looks great, i'd say overall the pros outweigh the cons for sure. And this is also just a really cool form of Frieza that we dont ever really see in figure form, especially with this quality/articulation. Also, one thing to mention, not sure if you noticed, but his head can look WAY down really good. Like he can really bury his chin in his chest.

[@mann-xciii]

100% final form frieza is a must

[@jjrj8568]

This figure is an absolute masterpiece; quality joints, robust shoulder pads, perfect balance (even with the tail), excellent attention to detail, and the right colors; even the face looks as if drawn by Toriyama himself; it's been a long time coming (I blame Super for the lack of basic Namek/Androids figures) but finally, the BEAST is here: Frieza's 2nd Form, one of the ogres of DBZ (right up there with A13 and Broly); the best SH Figuarts of 2023. 11/10.

[@btby1000]

First form Frieza also did not have the metallic purple.

[@Zakjuh]

I think the shoulderpads are neat and would definitely work well for saiyan armor. But for this form? I dunno, they irk me. Frieza's shoulderpads are supposed to move with the rest of his arm, I'm sure. So it would have been better had they been attached to his arms instead of his chest if you ask me.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Is that true for this form? Been a while since I've seen it in action

[@Zakjuh]

@@AnthonysCustoms I think any image I link here gets auto-filtered by the system, so I can't provide visual reference. But when I google 'Second Form Frieza', the pictures I see do have the pad more flush and attached to the shoulder and arm. Like the manga panel with him on a knee- the pad seems kinda fused to his deltoid and deforms with the movement of his arm. Funnily enough, the third form actually seems to cause them to split from the arms and turn them into proper shoulderpads.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I think you're right

[@ShinGoji1987Official]

Awesome figure! Regarding favorite forms it's definitely a toss up between this one and his final 100% bulky form. Would definitely love to see a King Cold as well

[@rampageingboss7494]

Final Form Frieza will always be just perfect for me👌🏻 Golden and Black are dope as well especially since it doesn’t changer his shape I’m not a fan of a buff Frieza I feel he works best when he’s small😂

[@Zakjuh]

Same.

[@julianroninbb]

This was my favourite design for Frieza! I remember I was kinda dissapointed he got small when he transformed 😅 Though was more dissapointed that he didn't keep his horns in his 4th form! As he had horns in all previous 3.

[@ZOOM_FIG_CUSTOMS]

I really want full power frieza and mecha frieza. Personally, those are my favorite 2. We better get at least full power because that buff form is too good

[@MuShinnen]

My favorite form is always the slim final form that Frieza has. He looks so unassuming yet intimidating to me.

[@gnadov4506]

Despite the faults, I think this is one of the definitive figure from SHF. Great review as always!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Cooler and super buu want to have a word with you.

[@Amon0016]

​​​​​​​@@AnthonysCustoms I actually found to only have problems with both the coolers and three of the buus I bought, all coolers had a wobbly left hip joint and loose hips, and all super buus had loose ankles. Yet both second form Frieza's I bought were perfect, for the first time since purchasing Figuarts DBZ figures, they actually made one I had not a single articulation issue with it, also has a wider range of articulation than Cooler. Better neck articulation range, it can look down much further and up if you use the ball hinge correctly by moving the neck slightly forward then moving the head ball hinge up and though it's slightly more work can actually get every pose a double ball peg can get when comparing it to buus and coolers head articulation. Four arm swivel, wider ankle pivot, better knee bend, especially knee forward locking, additional tail joint etc. For Frieza's tail, try removing it and using a hair dryer and or hot water and then attach it, should solve the looseness issue, did for my Cooler.

[@ChaoticDarkness1]

@@Amon0016 I got lucky with Cooler but I've had that same wobbly ankle issue with Super Buu. I sold my Buu recently and don't even miss it. Second form Frieza's way more enjoyable anyways.

[@BaileyZKerr]

I've seen a couple people heat, bend and then glue the index finger on the 'peace' hand to turn it into a perfect middle finger hand lol so I definitely don't think you were the only one

[@dr3nch_g0d52]

This is my favorite Freiza form and I love having this figure by cooler

[@Soggydonut]

I hope there will be a 3rd form figure for frieza (edit: oh they do have them)

[@_9T9T1_]

Next figure they should make is 100% full powered up beefcake frieza💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@tireddorian]

I'd love to see swole final frieza. Optional battle damaged body parts and with energy disk accessories.

[@4StarOcto]

This comment aged well

[@tireddorian]

@@4StarOcto Yeah, I got Swole Frieza on pre-order right now xD

[@4StarOcto]

@@tireddorian awesome, I got my first SHfiguarts the other day at target, it was the latent power SSJ trunks

[@KyleDoesAnimation]

0:49 I saw that to I didn’t realize it until I searched up videos about it and it was just pulling a 2

[@primusvsunicron1]

@AnthonysCustoms they announced King Cold

[@BCC-cc8lz]

This is my favourite form for Frieza. Looks like a demon.

[@ayan31_08]

I want a buff frieza. But i like the 2nd form too. I like the shouldee pad design. This looks better than yhe saiyan armour ones.

[@eliseiburai675]

Brooo this looks awesome I love it !

[@Raphotron2000]

They do have canon heights Goku is 5'9 and Piccolo is 7'5 or 7'6 I'm pretty sure second form frieza is either 8 or 9 foot something

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Yeah but the show or manga is more significant than numbers on paper

[@zippy-animation2570]

When I saw that ball hinge that just dissatisfied me as I thought the bigger figures get the double ball peg, although all of the sh figuarts line needs double ball peg at this point it’s cheap and stupid that they don’t move well with that hinge.

[@ThePierceKingans]

thats how the UK flips the bird haha

[@MugetsuSSGOD]

I pre ordered it but Jesus Christ, it’s so expensive yet they did the wrong color for his face smfh 🤦‍♂️

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It's not a big problem in person at least. It's off but not that much under normal lighting

[@eligamerman]

Solid review, hit all the points. I love the fact this figure has a matte finish but I do wish Tamashii Nations would start incorporating more paint and shading into their figures again. Other than that, this is a very nice release 🔥

[@russianfrog2892]

Can you do a review on sh figuarts chainsaw man? That’s one that I believe is worth reviewing!

[@rampageingboss7494]

Ever time I still see the image I think he’s throwing it up😂😂

[@Flash-oq4gu]

That tail is hideous!

[@paulrippcord506]

Golden Frieza, they’re doing a vacu-chrome Cooler, so I’d imagine they’re going to reuse moar of that mold for a Golden Frieza, by my god it’ll be fingerprint magnet like their Daft Punk figures

[@AnthonysCustoms]

He wasn't drawn to be as shiny if memory serves

[@Nygassso]

Buff Frieza is a dream

[@Scurwesyn]

Strange to see these issues since they made Cooler before.

[@lazergator1016]

I think my favorite currently for frieza is his new form Black frieza from the Dragon ball super manga.

[@Gogeta2501]

best toy reviewer as usual

[@SauronIH]

Kinda agree with everything here especially about the lack of paint, but I will say I actually don’t mind the thigh sculpt thing mostly because I like the way it keeps the musculature going up the leg until the swivel itself as opposed to being broken straight in half like the marvel figure you showed. That’s kind of why I like the sculpts for many mafex figures too despite the lack of good thigh swivels. I also know that when taking pics or posing you won’t really notice it too much, that’s even more true for the characters with pants.

[@toddattwellsconsciouspirat6474]

We need Cyborg Frieza and King Cold.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

agreed 100%

[@clockwerk152]

I have my frieza like in the cover and everyone that sees him think he is giving the middle finger

[@Gambenoful]

I love this figure.

[@powerfrenzy]

I'd be down for a regular Cooler, really... They clearly have most of a usable sculpt since they are making Metal Cooler. These Freeza figures have been failing to capture the faces properly. Something about the eyes or depth...

[@pizzasurf3222]

Big boi with beautiful colours too!! I liked!! 💪🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TimothyLau55]

I really want the 3rd form...but they showed it was much smaller in size (body, arms, legs) and much shorter...So, I went and bought a big statue instead.

[@drumd00d]

This doesn’t exactly answer your question, but I was really hoping for a King Cold articulated figure

[@SoooooooooDrag]

this is 2.0 joint!! but i really love it!!! especially kick backside!!!

[@Watertribewesley]

Been waiting for this figure and review by you! Haven t got the fig yet.

[@luiszamora6216]

These figuarts never get enough paint so thats not even a complaint anymore just the way they are lol. Look at great ape and porunga they just don't care about painting. You're lucky they even sculpt all the details they do.

[@sharingansasuke5]

I definitely prefer the one piece molded tail, like with the SSJ4 figures. Give me a ball hinge at the ass and two molded tails, hollow if they’re big so they aren’t heavy as hell

[@voos6571]

Mecha Frieza should be next or Mecha Frieza after trunks cut him up. Lol

[@andressellanes8685]

is anyone getting his left arm tight and squeak?? After minutes of testing poses and articulations is becoming tightier and squeaker for me at the shoulder rotation.

[@matthiassuki_2546]

Now Bandai just needs to release a frieza black and a ultra ego Vegeta and maybe a reissue of ultra instinct Goku so we can get some displays from the manga

[@bombaclatfr]

I thought he was flipping the bird when you showed the box and literally a few seconds later you mentioned it lmao

[@kalobhunt9001]

Yes I love this figure except the tail it could have been beautiful but it’s to many hinges ima just use the cut off part.

[@penyfulberb]

Yea nearly everyone thought he slipped the middle finger

[@curseoffenrir]

I thought he was flippin the bird when I first looked at it in this review. 🤣

[@Zakjuh]

I really, really, really want a 2.0 regular Final Form Frieza next. I know we probably won't for a while, and I expect to get 100% and Mecha-Frieza first, but yeah, my favorite form is Final Form, and the 1.0 just doesn't do it for me. It aged well compared to its contemporaries, but it still aged pretty harshly. Give me a good 2.0, make him as expensive as First Form Frieza and just use that price point to give him some extra accessories, like a death beam and different tail parts (arced) and such.

[@omegashenron8]

They already did a 2.0 a few years back.. Is what you mean a 3.0? Because 1.0 Freeza came out like 10 years ago.

[@Zakjuh]

@@omegashenron8 No, a 2.0. Because they haven't made one. The only ones we've gotten are repaints and those don't count as 2.0. All the Final Form Frieza figures we had in the SHF lines have thus far been 1.0s.

[@omegashenron8]

@@Zakjuh Yeah, you're right. Nvm. I never owned the first release so the 2018 reissue always felt like a new release to me.

[@Zakjuh]

@@omegashenron8 You're partially right. They made new faces for the Resurrection release (which are also used for the more recent Fourth Form release), so you're not entirely wrong. But I still don't consider that a full 2.0, which we need tbh.

[@omegashenron8]

@@Zakjuh We'll get one at some point but I'm in no real rush for a 2.0 if it means we keep getting alternate forms of Freeza instead.

[@deemac1013]

Yeah it did look like it 😂😂😂 thought it was just me 🖕✌️

[@michaelporter4331]

I don't know why but I feel like he got a cowboy look to him

[@lost4words91]

America not swearing, UK swearing

[@neora5]

I also saw the middle finger originally.

[@jHounder]

Isn't the skin on his face too dark for the rest of his body? I'm pretty sure it should be the same color as his neck and hands, but it's completely different.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I think it's just the way the material catches the light. Not noticeable in person.

[@WooziethesniffGod]

Black Air Force frieza is my favorite form so far

[@stacyjackson1255]

Full power frieza next hopefully

[@lcrawfo2]

When will Darwin meet his match?!?!

[@trillyBTV]

The 2nd finger popped up when you said he’s not shooting the bird! 🤯

I can’t wait for yiu to review metal cooler

[@harrisondisc]

Hahaha!! That is the first thing I thought!

[@Dbzsqueaks]

Where do all the villains keep their food?

[@TCKaos]

Anthony, I don't think the pink that people complaining about is the bright hot pink color, but the pinkish purple of the face. The pinkish purple in the center of his face (where his nose and mouth are) is supposed to be the same color as his neck, hands, and feet. Maybe it's just your camera, but they look like totally different colors.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

yeah. they are different but not nearly as bad as it look son camera. in normal lighting, it's not super obvious unless youre looking for it.

[@pizzasurf3222]

He is so mean and sexy as Always 😅

[@MrCheese1221]

i want to see mecha Frieza!

[@dankmemer2774]

Idk why shf do most dragon ball “goku type” figures the way they do. They put ball hinge at the neck where a double ball peg would be perfect. They put double ball peg at the ankles where a ball hinge would be better. 😂

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It is quite weird

[@Simp4Gwyn]

I kind of disagree on your take on the tale. I like to be able to pose my action figures as much as possible. If I wanted a smoother but static look, I'd get a statue. All action figures are gonna have some segmented parts for articulation, that's just the nature of action figures

[@AnthonysCustoms]

But not for tails because it makes them look terrible. Alternate parts achieve the same thing but look way better.

[@afolterm1760]

They should totally give you some sort of comission for those advices on how to make their figures better. You have such good points really.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Thanks a lot

[@philipdolor1635]

I dunno if anyone noticed, but the neck, hands and feet should have the same color tone with the face. Its not the same as what was promoted or even in the picture in the box nor is it anime accurate. Regardless, it looks like an amazing figure, just a little touch up on color tone though.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It's not as noticable in person really

[@chikenduk]

What stands do ya use?

[@marioadams9980]

hehe freiza schlong

[@troubledturtle2332]

This is my second favorite Frieza form next to his final/full power form Dragon Ball Z. I guess I would want to see Frieza in his gold form from Super , but I would rather see some generic Frieza force goons .

[@carnagecollectibles8369]

What's up @Anthony's Customs I wanted to hop on and say great review bro. I'm also happy to state that I have a grail of mine the S.H. Figuarts Majin Buu Super never put him down yet

[@hannahsaphire7643]

Very cool character design with the strangest of peepers. Enjoyed your review as usual. You’re the best Anthony❣️😃👍❣️❤️❤️❤️

[@braydenpage1808]

My favorite Frieza form is actually this one. The horns look so good and i love that he was actually intimidating in this form, bis voice wasn't so squeaky and dumb, he wasn't tiny. He actually looked like a villain to be afraid of. Also when i firet saw second form Frieza stab Krillin on one horn i freaked out.

[@BruNFMetal]

Hello Antony, I still like your reviews, but I thought it was much better when they had more photos and cool poses and less participation of this dull Marvel Legends in every video. I want the channel to keep growing!

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

In the UK 2 fingers up is also profanity so still somewhat offensive here. Favourite form of Frieza is Final Form and similarly the figure I want next is a full power buff Frieza. Personally cant wait to get this release, aesthetically proportions and faces look amazing akin to Cooler bar the lack of shading (again).

[@sugarbooger4434]

My favorite Frieza is the Trunks Saga look. Man, Tamashii Nations really needs to make a figuarts Frieza from the Trunks saga along with Goku's outfit from that saga.

[@sirfrancois8888]

Honestly I really really want a cyborg freiza.. that's always been my favorite design but 3rd form Frieza has always been my favorite of the organic original forms.. I love the bizarre ugly forms the most tho I feel like the 3rd form fig is gonna be wonky on a technical level and probably not be great in terms of articulation and standing on its own... Gimme cyborg Frieza lol.. he's so damn cool looking.

[@zannusx]

Someone on reddit modified his hand so it is giving the finger. For the question of the day, 3rd form is my favorite, but they ruined the scaling of the upcoming figure.

[@lygonthereddragon]

For your question of the day. I like the xenomorph Frieze form. Yeah I thought he was flipping the bird on that box.

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

I agree with your critics and I love it. Thanks for the review Anthony.

Dragon Ball has named people after food tons of times. It's just his name.

[@topher9507]

Its probably in the uncut version of DBZ but I believe he does flip the bird in the show.

[@graefx]

I wonder if they could have seat the shoulder pad inside the butterfly joint so it moves with the shoulder. That pad is suppose to be part of his arm iirc.

[@id0licious]

Totally thought he was giving the finger on the front of the box as soon as I saw it. And now I can't unsee it either.

[@juancarlosmarquez7231]

Bandai should really start investing on bendy tails (like how Rebor does it for their dinosaurs)

[@Ching.A]

They alrdy figured out the tail with the sh monsterarts. Shf is just all over the place and inconsistent with what ever they are doing

[@AnthonysCustoms]

the segments work on shma because of the scales and such. on frieza, that segmentation would look weird.

[@Ching.A]

@@AnthonysCustoms they just need somebody else to do it first and become more popular to make them step things up, otherwise they are forever doing the same bs, like say cloth capes, thanks to mafex and mezco now it is a staple

is it just me or does this figure give the spitting image of frieza third form with a more well-shaped head

[@NightshadeSM05]

Not sure if it's the camera, but, the main "purple" area of the face looks like a different colour from the neck/hands/feet, when they're all supposed to be the same colour...Is it that way in person? It looks more noticeable than the painted pink areas you mentioned.
