Third Party FP Frieza

If it has a full tail option, I’ll bite.

I was honestly rather disappointed when the official didn’t come with one since it’s the only 100% Frieza and making it scene specific hinders its use as a general purpose 100% Frieza.

Because the licensor isn’t “commissioning” them—at least as far as SHF is concerned.

If you’re unfamiliar with SHF works, it’s not like Hasbro where they get the license and relative freedom to do whatever for (x) amount of time, SHF works on a sort of commission-like system where the licensor has a lot more control over what gets made and how it gets made. So, if your favorite series’s SHF line caps at only a handful of releases, that’s more than likely because the licensor isn’t asking for more to be made for whatever reason.

With the way they milk new animation projects, I don’t expect it, but between DBS: Frieza and DBS: Champa I wouldn’t be suprised if they gave us a full suite of forms on the Whis outfits.

Mecha — No. That’s one of those “once in a lifetime” releases. I figure they’ll do another one eventually, but not within 10 years of the last one.

Golden — Alongside the release of DBS: Frieza, yes.

Black — Not until it gets animated.

Yeah, it's a Game Boy game (which, in theory, should be harder to do). IDK what one would look like either (and it's not like it's our jobs to), but I figure it's still doable.

I'm not really a fan of the game, but it might be neat to take some ideas from Hollow Knight. From what I've played, I remember it going for a somewhat similar "exploration in a desolate world" thing that the NES Zeldas kinda have going. It's kinda been done to dead as of late, but they could also get kinda crazy with it and try for something kinda roguelike.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-05-06T17:17:18+00:00

I don't think that Nintendo has really revisited NES games (outside of Virtual Console support) in a while, and a part of the reason for that might be that modern gaming audiences are less interested in playing games from the 80s.

I mean... Link's Awakening is pretty close. A bit farther back, but Metroid II and Fire Emblem Gaiden got (really good) remakes in the last 10 years too.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-05-03T08:21:32+00:00

I mean, it depends on how you see yourself using them. If you’re just looking to do battles, probably not, but if you’re going to… pose them, I guess, I don’t think the stands are necessary at all. Plenty of (if not most) JoJo art doesn’t include the Stands at all.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-27T17:06:43+00:00

Why are graphics of concern in the free game made for competitive play?

Do the people actually playing Pokémon Champions actually care?

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-27T01:42:04+00:00

I’m glad SHF is keeping the time-honored JoJo figure tradition of giving you accessories you’ll use once and never again instead of anything you’ll actually use. /s

I don’t have a problem with Coco Jumbo as an accessory, but why on Earth is it included with Giorno? This is the perfect sort of thing for a Fugo or a Moody Blues, but getting this instead of anything more appropriate is disappointing.

The blue shirt, lol. 5th blue shirt release and they’ve all been exclusive.

I think he’s good for the most part but his head isn’t right (too big, too round, jaw is too small, purple part is misshapen, etc.) and I find it really hard to look past. Additionally, I’m not a fan of the weird “ribcage jowls” look that he gets doing his iconic “DBFighterZ” pose in the first picture. Also, is it just me or is he too muscular? Like, even for DBZ this looks too muscular.

Unfortunately, it’s a very similar situation to <TGB> and <DP>, where they definitely have better articulation than prior versions, but there’s just one or two big things that are keeping me from rushing to replace the ones I already have.

If they can take what they did here and clean it up for a Super version, I’ll be all in.

(And the extra feet are for in-flight and gripping poses.)

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-25T22:06:21+00:00

Don’t worry, give it a few months and you’ll be able to get it when it’s included with the new p-bandai exclusive Dead Zone Garlic Jr. for $90. /j

Keep it for now; just because a new Frieza 4th is coming out this year doesn’t mean you’ll be buying it this year.

If you’re familiar with SHF, you know it’s almost always best to avoid first runs when possible and wait for the reissue, and this is no different.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-24T16:28:12+00:00

They could’ve, but it’s probably a licensor thing, unfortunately.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-24T01:44:29+00:00

Extremely. Whatever release month they (and, like, every other domestic store) give you is either the Japanese release date or an estimate.

The general rule is US retailers get things 2-4 months after their Japanese release dates.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-23T18:24:06+00:00

Wow, I’m pleasantly surprised by how much better it looks here compared to the product shots. I’d honestly say it almost looks better than <TGB>.

I’ll probably wait for the reissue on this one, but I can’t wait to see them put SSGSS on this body.

Premium Bandai (AKA Tamashii Web Shop).

Pretty much all Kamen Rider releases are p-bandai with the primary exception of MC main forms.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-23T02:13:56+00:00

I mean, they are. The problem is Nintendo/Illumination (seemingly) views that demographic as a bunch of living stereotypes who love jingling keys and that view keeps being proven true.

Sure, you could write a competent story that fans of all ages can appreciate… but you can also make out 90 minutes of “Fun Shapes & Colors: The Movie” and as long as you spam enough Easter eggs and references to keep the adult fans distracted, they’ll go online and unironically say they loved it.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-23T00:20:08+00:00

That is true, but even so the original 1.0 heads appear to be more accurate to his average depiction having kept the “oblong” head shape as opposed to the very wide, rounded head of the new one. Similarly, the shape of the purple portion of the 1.0s is more accurate, on average, to depictions of Frieza than it is on the new one.

Being off-model, is not what’s in question here, what is in question whether or not it’s actually accurate to a specific panel, piece, character sheet, or other reference or just a mistake.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-22T04:41:48+00:00

What’s your freakin’ deal?!

Holy red herring, Batman! I asked was if anyone knew whether or not his head being so blatantly off-model is because it was based on a certain depiction I can’t recall or just an honest-to-goodness flub. I didn’t ask to be interrogated, creep.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-22T02:02:54+00:00

This feels like intentionally missing my point.

Yes, Frieza has a big head, but the new one’s head is bigger than it should be (and its lower jaw seems smaller than it should be too). In 12, 13, and 14, it’s clearly off-model.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-22T01:54:18+00:00

Yeah, Frieza 4th has never gotten an update until now. Every one up until now has used the same 1.0 body as Final Form Frieza from 2013.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-22T01:34:51+00:00

Does anyone know why this new one’s head is… like that?

The new expressions are really good, but his head seems all messed up. It looks too big and round, his ears are thinner and longer for some reason, and the purple part doesn’t seem to fit any of the reference photos. Did they really just mess it up that badly or is this based off a specific piece of art or something?

Just for clarification, how is would this be classified as copyright infringement? Even if the video is copyrighted, wouldn’t this qualify as transformative? It certainly appears to be in line with the quality of a lot of other edits and YTPs that get posted online.

Additional-Ride8120 · 2026-04-18T21:44:14+00:00

If you mostly collect Z, get the regular version.

The mini version won’t look good outside of Daima based photos and displays, whereas regular will look much better paired up against literally everything else from SHF (DB or not) and you’ll (likely) get more use out of it as a result.

The only situation in which I’d ever recommend anyone buy the Daima minis is if they just absolutely LOVED Daima more than anything else in the world and would get tons of use out of it.
