Custom / Third-Party (Based on Dragon Ball Z)

Rarity
Limited Production. Not a mass-market toy, usually produced in small batches by independent customizers.
Head
Bald flesh-toned head with DBZ-style pupil-less eyes, black anime eyebrows, and the signature six moxibustion burn scars on the forehead.
Torso
Orange Turtle Hermit School Gi with blue undershirt, featuring 'Kame' kanji on the left chest and intricate muscle/fabric crease detailing. High-detail pad or UV printing on arms including blue wristbands and muscle definition.
Legs
Orange matching Gi trousers with blue belt tie-off. Detailed 360-degree printing featuring shadowed fabric folds and dark blue boots/shoes.
Accessories
None shown in image. Typically might include a destructo-disc (Kienzan) effect piece or Dragon Ball.
Color Scheme
Primary: Bright Orange; Secondary: Dark Blue, Flesh. Accents: Black and White.
Printing Details
High-fidelity digital or UV printing including side-arm and side-leg detail. The level of detail in the muscle definition and gi folds exceeds standard LEGO production complexity.
Variants
Various customizers (Dragon Brick, Phoenix Custom, Lab9) have produced versions; this specific one features the 'battle-ready' determined expression.
Condition Notes
The image shows noticeable wear and 'desk dust.' Digital UV printing on customs is often more susceptible to scratching or 'chipping' than official LEGO pad printing.
Estimated Value
$25.00 - $60.00 USD. Value for customs is highly dependent on the specific customizer's reputation and original retail price.
Price (New)
Usually retails for $30.00 - $45.00 directly from customizer websites upon launch.
Compatible Sets
None. This is not an official LEGO product and does not appear in sets.
Character Background
Krillin is the strongest human Earthling in the Dragon Ball series, friend to Goku, and a student of Master Roshi.
Design Notes
The design utilizes official LEGO-compatible parts but applies non-LEGO designs. Note the 360-degree printing which is rare on official LEGO figures but standard for high-end customs.
Similar Minifigures
Other custom DBZ figures like Goku (GI version) or Master Roshi. Closest official LEGO style would be Ninjago or Monkie Kid figures.
Collectibility
Moderate. High demand within the 'Custom LEGO' niche, but no value to purist collectors who only buy official LEGO Group products.
History
LEGO has never officially licensed the Dragon Ball franchise, leading to a massive secondary market of high-quality custom creators to fill the gap.
Interesting Facts
The printing on the forehead—the six dots—represents the scars from Krillin's time at the Orin Temple before he met Goku.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a UV-protected case alongside other Z-Fighters. Use a 'flying' transparent stand to mimic his flight capabilities.
Modification Potential
Excellent for Dragon Ball MOCs. The parts are high-quality enough to be swapped with other custom anime characters.
Overall Assessment
A high-quality third-party custom. While not an official LEGO release, it features professional-grade printing and is a desirable piece for fans of the Dragon Ball franchise.
