Theme
Custom / Third-Party (Inspired by Dragon Ball Z/GT/Super)
Year Released
Circa 2018-2022 (Context: Era of high-quality Chinese third-party clones)
Rarity
Common (Mass-produced in non-LEGO factories). Though not in LEGO catalogs, they are widely available on sites like AliExpress.
Head
Blue skin tone, printed with a green and silver scouter over the left eye. Features spiky black/metallic hair hair mold characteristic of Saiyan characters.
Torso
Black torso with silver/white printing depicting Saiyan-style 'Frieza Force' armor plating with visible abdominal segments.
Legs
Plain black legs without significant printing or detailing.
Accessories
Includes a Pearl Dark Gray heavy shoulder armor piece (resembling the LEGO Castle/Ninjago pauldrons) and a custom molded Saiyan hairpiece.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Black, Blue (skin), and Pearl Dark Gray (armor). Accents include White, Silver, and Green (scouter).
Printing Details
Digital or pad printing on non-ABS plastic. Detail is surprisingly sharp for a clone, especially the scouter, but lacks the depth and safety standard of official LEGO.
Variants
Multiple 'bootleg' vendors produce this figure with various hair colors (Gold for Super Saiyan, Blue for SSGSS) and skin tones.
Condition Notes
Prone to loose joints (clutch power issues), brittle plastic in the neck area, and paint rubbing off the hair mold quickly.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $3.00 USD. These have no secondary collector value in the official LEGO market.
Price (New)
$0.50 - $2.00 (Usually sold in bulk or small polybags on discount commerce sites).
Compatible Sets
None. This is not an official LEGO product and does not appear in any official sets.
Character Background
Based on a Saiyan warrior from the Dragon Ball franchise (resembling characters like Turles or generic Frieza Force soldiers).
Design Notes
The torso uses a design heavily inspired by the 'Saiyan Saga' armor. The hair mold is a unique third-party sculpt designed to mimic Akira Toriyama's art style.
Similar Minifigures
Other custom/bootleg Dragon Ball figures like Goku, Vegeta, or Frieza produced by brands like WM, Kopf, or POGO.
Collectibility
Low for serious LEGO investors; High for Dragon Ball fans looking for affordable desk toys.
History
These figures appeared as LEGO has never secured the Dragon Ball license, leading to a massive surge in the third-party 'knock-off' market to fill the void.
Interesting Facts
The shoulder armor piece is a direct mold-copy of LEGO's official piece 11097, but produced in an unofficial factory.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Dragon Ball custom figures or on a custom 'Planet Namek' MOC setup.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customizers who want to use the hair and torso for other science-fiction MOCs.
Overall Assessment
This is a non-LEGO, third-party custom figure. Quality is 'Fair' for a toy, but it holds zero value as a genuine LEGO collectible.
