tabuuforteakugun So I made my first steps into customizing my own SHF King Cold figure. NO progress has been made, but I purchased all the materials, even the super rare Jakks figure. He was a pain in the ass to acquire; the figure was damaged, paint chips everywhere, no official packaging, etc. and the seller still wanted quite a bit of money for it. I haggled him down to a reasonable price (even though I still feel I overpayed) but it is what it is. I haven’t received the materials yet but I plan on assembling it to the best of my ability. Stay tuned~

Well obviously the head, the feet, I’m going to try to remove his shin guards but I imagine that will be tricky so I gotta be careful. The Jakks figure was missing the cape, which doesn’t worry me because I was going to replace that anyway. The tail is completely missing, but I have a solution since I already have the Jakks 2nd form Frieza. I compared the 2 & they’re virtually the same so ima just use that
But once again, I haven’t even started the process, I just have everything in transit so when it all arrives here in NY, I will be able to examine everything closely & determine what needs to be done
I’m also using Demoniacal Fit Ginyu as a base (his size & build is the best we got that matches King Cold), so I expect heavy modifications will have to be made. Also, it will have to be repainted with shading & all that. I hope I succeed, I’ll keep y’all updated on my progress

lol I doubt they’ll do that, since casual fans have no idea who Cold is. Sorry to say but he’s a throwaway character that had no impact on the plot. Nobody outside of true fans remembers him. So I think I’m safe lol
I just wish someone had the balls to make a un-transformed Cooler. Everyone loves his 2nd form but me & like 3 other people actually prefer his normal form. I searched on auction sites, and there is NO 6” figure that has Cooler un-transformed. They’re either 3” gashapons, and a couple of resin statues here n there. His “normal” form is definitely on my wish list, because there are no other alternatives

Cooler has a SERIOUS lack of love. I too prefer his "3rd transformed state", as he called it in the Funi dub. I just think 5th form Cooler is a brute with less brains. "Normal" Cooler is calmer, more calculating, and better imo

Aesthetically it’s more pleasing to me too. Transformed Cooler looks badass as well. But I want to pair Final Form Frieza with Final Form Cooler, with my Kustom King Kold looking fondly in the back. Is that too much to ask?

I agree! And no, it shouldn't be too much to ask!
I just want another Cold ACTION figure. Only Jakks had the stones to make one, and it ended up bats____ expensive.

I’ve considered making a custom of him from a bootleg Frieza, but Cooler is a little bit taller than him so it would be inaccurate. Hopefully Dragon Stars makes one soon so I can at least try to fix it up

The figure is quite a bit taller than SHF so i'd say it works well. i.ytimg.com/vi/ODoe1bKbY0s/hqdefault.jpg
