Many thanks to GreatToysOnline for letting us review this Frieza figure. It’s still an awesome and show-accurate piece and a must-have for DBZ fans. Overall though, these are not big issues and they don’t get in the way of this particular figure. There’s also the color of the armor and tail having a different shade of violet, and the gap in the neck area kinda irks me. Although there are few things that you must fix yourself out of the box like with the extra headpiece being a tight fit, it can be fixed by a simple step. I don’t have the other toys from the same series, so I can’t tell if the proportions are correct from the show, but Frieza in his first form was always been a small guy, and comparing the size of the toys that I have, it seems that’s just the case. Figuarts DBZ Frieza is pretty good, especially for those who collect the DBZ S.H. Size Comparison with S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla, MG Wing Gundam (EW), Amamiya Sakura Nendoroid Although, you can still make poses while his tail is lifted from the ground, you just have to find a good angle to do so. He can stand on his own due to the design of his feet, but his tail can weigh him down, though the tail itself can act as a support. Frieza can do much of the dynamic poses, but his neck has limited range of bend try to see the Jack-o challenge image so you can tell the limit of his articulation. The shoulder pads can both move so they won’t hinder the movement of the arms, but they can get in the way of the head since the shoulder pads can only move up and down. The Figure is poseable thanks to its double ball joints, while both of the shoulder and knees have double bend joints. Meanwhile, the six swappable hands consist of a fist, open hands, and a pointing finger with the pointing finger you can fit the tiny Death Ball effect so Frieza can sling his planet-destroying blast. I loosened mine with a small hexagon bit making the headpiece a perfect fit without the worry of breaking the tiny ball joint. So, if you have the same problem, try to loosen it with a small screwdriver. And one thing worth noting is that the extra headpiece won’t fit immediately into the neck’s small ball joint, at least on this particular figure.
Again, a faceplate is only compatible with a certain headpiece, so try not to force a faceplate if it doesn’t fit. Another thing about the faceplates is you can remove Frieza’s left ear and fit the included Scouter which is compatible with every faceplate (letting him hunt the whole Planet Namek for any remaining Namekian). Each faceplate has varying expressions from an irritated face, two smug faces, and two screaming faces each can be fitted on its designated headpiece.Ĭhanging Frieza’s expression is fairly simple all you have to do is remove the whole headpiece from the neck and pull the faceplate to change it with your desired expression.

Regardless of this and the other small detail mentioned before, it is not a real issue and does not affect the overall appearance of the toy, unless you stress about those kinds of details.įor the accessories, Frieza comes with five faceplates plus an extra headpiece, six interchangeable hands, a tiny Death Ball, Scouter, the Five Star Namekian Dragon Ball, and one of the centerpieces of this toy Frieza’s Hover Pod. For the faceplate itself, the eyes compared to the promotional image on the box looks a bit smaller, whether they made magic with the photography of this image or photoshop is beyond me, while the neck part does not fit entirely no matter what I do.
The only thing that I can nitpick about is the inconsistent violet color on the tail part, especially compared to the chest plate and forehead piece, since the tip of the tail is painted while the chest and forehead piece are made of glossy plastic. The overall appearance of this toy is pretty good as it managed to get the likeness of Frieza first form from the anime.
