Year Released
Approx. 2017-2022 (Varies by manufacturer)
Rarity
Uncommon / Custom - Though not an official LEGO product, specific high-end customs have limited runs, while generic knock-offs are mass-produced in Asian markets.
Head
Custom pearl gold head with Frieza's signature purple forehead jewel and red/white eyes; lacks a standard LEGO neck 'dimple' often found on clones.
Torso
Pearl gold torso with purple 'gem' and black line detailing to show musculature. Purple hands to match the character's carapace.
Legs
Pearl gold legs with purple knee oval printing and black claw markings on the feet.
Accessories
None visible in the image; typically paired with hand-energy blast effects or a custom tail piece (missing here).
Color Scheme
Pearl Gold and Purple with black detailing; mimics the look of the 'Resurrection F' movie character.
Printing Details
High-density pad printing or UV printing on all surfaces. The 360-degree alignment (wraparound on knees and feet) suggests a higher-tier custom brand if the plastic is high quality.
Variants
Variants include 'Final Form' (white/purple), 'Black Frieza', and 'First Form' (with custom molded armor and helmet).
Condition Notes
The figure appears to show slight fading or dust on the gold plastic; check for 'clutch power' on the legs as non-LEGO gold plastic is often more brittle.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $15.00 USD for generic versions; $50.00+ if it is a verified boutique brand like Dragon Brick.
Price (New)
Usually sold as part of an unofficial set or individually on sites like AliExpress (approx. $1-3) or specialty custom sites ($20+).
Compatible Sets
Not compatible with official LEGO sets as an included item; commonly used in anime-themed MOCs (My Own Creations).
Character Background
Frieza is the primary antagonist of the Dragon Ball Z series. This 'Golden' form was achieved through four months of training to defeat Goku.
Design Notes
LEGO does not hold the license for Dragon Ball (Bandai holds it); therefore, the design uses the standard minifigure template but custom artistry to circumvent licensing.
Similar Minifigures
Custom LEGO Goku, Vegeta, and Cell from various third-party creators.
Collectibility
Low for purists; high for Anime fans who want to complete a roster that LEGO will likely never officially produce.
History
Part of a massive wave of third-party anime 'minifigures' that flooded the market after 2015 following the success of the Dragon Ball Super anime.
Interesting Facts
The gold plastic color used here matches LEGO's Pearl Gold almost perfectly, making it blend well with official pieces despite being unofficial.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a LEGO Super Heroes 'Iron Man' or in a glass case to prevent the metallic gold finish from oxidizing or scratching.
Modification Potential
High; the torso and legs are often used by customizers to create 'Golden Pharaohs' or robotic characters by swapping the head.
Overall Assessment
This is an unofficial, non-LEGO third-party figure. While it looks impressive and represents the character well, it holds no resale value in the traditional LEGO secondary market (BrickLink).
