If he actually comes with a throne that’s f**king nuts (in a good way) lol, excited to get him, I wonder if he’ll beat out Metal Cooler as the most expensive Retail Price figure in the line, I think he was $120?
Kinda related but do we know how the sales on P-Bandai work? Like when they decide to end preorders is that thing in that post about figures meeting a certain reserve first and then getting an end date to preorders true or is that just someone making stuff up? lol
Have noticed some tend to linger for longer than others but it seems almost random lol

That cape has me worried, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be soft plastic like Tullece’s. Hopefully I’m wrong.
Also here’s a big middle finger to all those jackasses that got away with selling that ancient Jakks version for hundreds of dollars over the past 15 years. Moving forward they would be lucky to get $50 for a loose version (with a missing tail & cape, and a giant scratch mark across the chest)

Good lord he looks terrific. If he really comes with the throne, it'll be very expensive. Big figure, big extras. I won't be able to buy him, I guess, but I'm happy for you tabuuforteakugun , your wait is close to an happy end!

There actually have been cases where preorder windows closed sooner than they anticipated lol. I remember when the NYCC 2021 Goku went up for preorder, he was up for all of three days before selling out (though something tells me they were selling hastily-made reprints and factory defects from the original run, since the QC on the second batch was pretty spotty to say the least.) But, I can't say I'm surprised if FP Freeza isn't doing too well. He looks phenomenal, but I can see why some of the prices on "Premium" BANDAI are turning people away. Some rumours are saying that the throne will be included
King Cold looks nice, hopefully the throne won't make him cost an arm and a leg. This leak seems to have more credibility behind it since we have tangible proof the guy is some kind of insider (the additional pic of him with the sword.) Idk, maybe he'll have some kind of DLC for Trunks as well to even the price out? Hopefully this means SON GOKU -The Fighter Who Has Returned From Yardrat and Can Now Teleport- is coming in the future.

crisis Agreed. I still remember spending 550 on that first one I have. The lowest I've spent on a Jakks was 150. The one that came with Trunks. This King Cold is gonna blow the Jakks one far out of the water as the best King Cold figure I've seen appearance-wise.

I just lectured this dude who was whining to Tamashii because we got King Cold before Trunks and Goten.
Dude, really?
King Cold has spent the ENTIRETY of the existence of the Dragon Ball franchise getting crapped on and shafted from everything while every other member of his species (Chilled, Frieza, Cooler, Frost, friggin' KURIZA) got their five minutes of fame and got to show off their power while all Cold got was f**ked. Let me enjoy my moment of triumph. King Cold deserves, and has earned, this figure after the pathetic treatment he got, thank you.

If that leaker is correct (which he probably is, where else would he/she get that photo from) then the throne is going to be huge and will 100% jack up the price, so start saving now

I've 400$ saved up for him and his twin so far. lol If I need more for my second? Hell I'll get more.
For this particular King Cold figure, x2, money is no object for me as he's my final one.

I’ll buy him but it’s going to take up a lot of real estate on my display so some sacrifices will have to be made to accommodate him. Over half of my SHFs are in storage unfortunately. But as I’ve already shown yous guys, I have the entire “Freeza Family,” even Chilled so I have no choice but to complete it with his daddy

What will you do with your King Cold custom now that this AWESOME masterpiece is coming out? As much as it pains me, I sold it, because I knew once an official Cold was being made, all other customs & versions from other companies will soon drop in value so I cashed out. Ever try selling a custom of a popular character AFTER an official version had been released? I almost always lose money, because you pay a couple hundred to have it made, no one will pay that amount for an inferior version when the “real” version is cheaper, better quality, and more accessories, so you won’t break even on your investment. That’s the side of customizing DBZ figures not many like to talk about lol If Tamashii ever makes an SHF of Chilled (which I think is unlikely) or Frost, I’ll probably do the same. There were many customs of Mecha Frieza at one point years ago, however no one is putting in the effort to making them anymore since the SHF is now on the way. I remember seeing many Bardock customs at one point too, not anymore. I’ve seen this happen with characters all the time. Now that Tamashii is making B & C list characters customizers will have to start making deep cut obscure customs that aren’t on Tamashii’s radar yet, like Pikkon or Onio lol So my advice to anyone planning on making a custom Janemba, by all means go ahead, just know that Tamashii will no doubt make one eventually since he’s been on a lot of surveys & is very popular, so I believe he is 100% being planned one day soon. You’re better off making King Vegeta, who is even more slept on than King Cold was

King Vegeta at least got to use a few of his moves on Frieza, some of his men and one of his own soldiers. King Cold got nothing but a cheap sword strike
