Full Power Frieza has a lot of accessories opportunities; he can come with 2 destructor discs, several cocky/battle damaged faces, a bunch of energy blasts, removeable torso, maybe even a spare SS Goku face. That fight was drawn out over many episodes. Not to mention the muscular sculpt itself will look nice. And posing him tussling against SS Goku while the massive Porunga hovering in the background would look awesome as a set piece.
While I do like the general aesthetic for form 3 Frieza, and I appreciate it exists, I struggle to think how many accessories it can possibly come with. He didn’t really do much except laser Piccolo for fun
This is par for the course at this point, but I can see many collectors skipping Xenomorph Frieza when it’s revealed to come with 2 sets of closed fist/open palm hands, a yelling/smirking face, 2 pointing fingers, 1 general ki blast, all at the low cost of $149.99. Personally I’m still on the fence about it, but I’m not excited for it at all.

I would love the pink/red destructo disk and having Freeza sliced!

Those leg extensions on Imperfect Cell look sooooooo good! What an improvement! I'm surprised nobody ever came out with similar leg extensions for Android 16. I don’t really get the logic on this forum. If your taking time out of your day to read and post here then why are you looking for reasons to not buy these? Every character and variation has a purpose. They fill out all different times and events of the series. No you don’t have to buy every one because it’s a choice but when I see people literally making excuses to themselves of why they shouldn’t buy half of the releases for the year it makes me think you shouldn’t waste your time over here. By the way I laugh everytime I see these same people I’m describing complain about how they wish they preordered a character and now they have to pay double. Serves you right for being cheap and stupid. I understand your point of view, and in many ways I agree with it! While I don't know for a fact if Tamashii still has employees who watch DBF and this thread anymore, I do know for an absolute 100% fact that Bluefin had employees watch it years ago to see what people were saying about prototypes and upcoming releases. So it's good for people to voice their opinions, whether it's praise or disappointment. Not everyone has to buy every figure, and not everyone can even if they want to. It's just the nature of this rather pricy hobby (and the fact that there are SOOOO many figures in the SHF line now!). People have to pay to play, and like most limited production items in life, if they snooze, they lose... and then have to pay more for it. Buy it when you see it. Pre-order it. Don't wait, buy now. That advice is tricky to follow when a person is scared of whether or not they'll like the product. With the amount of scams happening on ebay and other places these days, it isn't as low risk and simple as the old days, where if you didn't like the figure, you could just wait a few months and make your money back (or make a profit) with a very low likelihood of getting scammed out of your figure and/or the money paid for it as well. With all that said, please keep in mind bcapp , that we're a pretty small group here, and as such, try not to insult others or call names. We're all here to share our common bond: a love for DB/Z/GT/S. There's no reason you have to like every person here, but to keep this an enjoyable place for us to all post on, just try to keep things civil and kind. There are enough places on the internet for people to be made to feel bad about themselves for the way they are or for what others perceive as mistakes they made. Let's not do it in this place we have control of; a place created for sharing the joy of collecting figures from these great animes. Now... let's go back to the discussion!

It feels like it's been a while since we've had something go up for pre order. Was pan the last?
Think we might see something go up early February. I hope it's Gero.

It feels like it's been a while since we've had something go up for pre order. Was pan the last? Think we might see something go up early February. I hope it's Gero. Pan, Trunks and Vegeta are June releases, and Broly is July! Seems like we'll have at least 4 other Super Hero drops (Beast Gohan, Orange Piccolo, Cheelai, Lemo, maybe Cell Max?) I'm guessing for Android/Cell saga... Yamcha, 19, 20, I guess base Vegeta, (I would prefer Badboy Vegeta, personally.) then I'm guessing some unseen like Semi-Perfect Cell, Cyborg Freeza, King Cold? I would also very much support a Perfect Cell remake. Then after that it's probably off to the races with Buu saga! The drop of Super Buu and Good Buu exclusive seem to be their kickoff for the saga. I'm also excited for them to get back into the groove with the Tournament of Power, hopefully after Super Hero. Need Roshi and Tenshinhan from Super. Gotta round out the baldies!

Perfect Cell 2.0 is a must.
Not only is he expensive as hell but he's ugly too, he needs a redesign badly.

Form 3 Frieza looks perfect - I'm looking forward to it. The effect piece is a nice addition. The last two releases (Pan and Broly) were skippable duds for me, so it's nice to be back on track.
I'm not sure where all of the hype for Full Power Frieza is coming from. It would be a good figure if done right, but these figures have *never* bothered to respect to different builds (Super Vegeta is the same as other Vegetas, SSJ3 Goku is the same as other Gokus, etc) and are clearly awful with scale (Krillin, kids, etc). If anything, they've gotten worse recently, not better (scale-wise... the expressions over the past two years are better than ever). I think you're all in for a disappointment when you get another re-release of the Form 4 mold with a box that says Full Power and maybe a chopped off tail and some scuff marks. Some of the faces pictured above or the discs would be nice though.

I’ve been on this forum for years and I’ve always been respectful. I’m as big a fan as can be. I didn’t say what I said to make anybody feel bad I just said it because I think collecting these should be a source of excitement. The vibe gets ruined when it’s all negative. That’s the point I was trying to make. I think y’all are good people I have shared many conversations with you over the years about this passion. I often write very detailed reviews and predictions. It’s kind of disappointing that those aren’t commented on but a slightly controversial post is. I think that contradicts the point of all this.
3rd form Freiza looks great. Cross arms and beam was a must have I just wish we got a better 3rd expression.

Yes! Freeza third form! Legs are a bit skinny, I hope we can pose him well. I loved the crossed arms and the effect!

Cool figures, but ughhh… I haaate how you have to buy them to have a 100% complete Gohan figure.
I can just imagine the scalpers having a complete Gohan & reselling it for $400 on ebay.
