Great Figures that reflect a great Saga in DBZ
By Matthew R
Let me just give you a brief analysis for those who want a quick opinion on these figures by saying first off these are great Action Figures. Just from a short look at them, they are just so cool looking. Excellent for display (in package or out of it), and pretty cool if you are planning on using them for play. The paint and molding is superb on even the smallest of details. They both move as the shoulders, elbows, and wrists as well as their legs, knees, and feet. Their heads and torsos can twist but as with all figures you should be careful not to force their movement too much nor should you attempt to rotate a head/torso 360 degrees in fear of the possibility of it detaching from the figure. They are expensive for action figures so I would not condone intense or reckless play to anyone wanting to preserve their quality and parts. From my own personal opinion, they get a solid 10/10 overall. I will go into detail for the ones that have the time to read a few paragraphs after my summary on the 2 Characters' history and relevance.

It is a lot, I apologize in advance for any spelling, grammar, or silly errors in my quick typing.

Allow me get into the history of the characters presented as figures to start things off. If you have watched Dragon Ball Z's Trunks Saga (also known as mini-season), you would have either loved it or liked it a lot. The factors that fans could appreciate was the fact that Earth was in peril once more. This time by an evil galactic Tyrant who went by the title King Cold. Cold accompanied his son Frieza to pay a visit to Earth with destructive and diabolical intent. The second most notable mention is the introduction of a new unique character; Trunks. There is a very well told story behind his arrival on the scene, I will not spoil it. Lastly you would be thrilled to see how the Villains (King Cold and Frieza) and the new mysterious stranger Trunks interact. Let us just say the battle that takes place is bada** to say the least. The only negative part about the Saga was how short it was (but its size was very appropriate for its creative streak and the mini epic clash). But any DBZ fan should be able to tell you the massive excitement this Saga brought to the table.

Now onto the figure packaging. These figures reflects the finest details of the saga. They are very unique, and extremely rare. Trunks in his capsule corporation attire is not too easy to come by. And one cannot find an Action Figure of King Cold virtually anywhere aside from getting him from this pack directly or indirectly. The packaging is well done, fantastic. Although funny enough there is tape inside the box securing accessories that come with the figures. I had a struggle allowing myself to open the package because of how cool the box is, but I opened it from the bottom to keep the design in tact. The back of the pack shows the other two 2-pack sets that are in the same toy line, which are Early Saiyan Armored Vegeta And Nappa (The vegeta in that 2-pack is unbelievably awesome), and there is also Goku and Burter.

Now onto the Trunks figure. What I thought was very unique was Trunk's sculpting. This Trunks figure is a lot bigger than other Trunks figures, it is about the same height as the tall Super Trunks figure you get along with Super Vegeta in a 2-pack from a different toy line. I thought this Trunks was very well done how they captured the moment when Trunks powered up to his super power state (Super Saiyan). And when I say that they captured the moment, I am quite literal. Trunks' face is angry, his mouth is open, and his hair is in a risen state. He is powering up, about to push his power past the threshold between his normal state and Super Saiyan. This trunks figure is in his regular saiyan form with purple hair, just in a spiky-like fashion. He is wearing the Capsule Corporation jacket that he came onto the scene with. One thing that is worth noting is that this 2-pack does not come with any sword. Trunks appears to have his left hand open, leading one to believe a sword, HIS sword, was to enter it if one wanted him to hold it. But there is no mistake or technical error if you are missing the sword, it indeed does not come with one. I heard from other buyers that they tried to make him hold swords from other Trunks packs but they do not fit under normal circumstances. Under Trunks' jacket you see his strap that he puts on to carry the sword case on his back, but a sword case is not present at all on his back. His right hand is a clenched fist ready to do some serious damage as he engages in combat. I covered articulation of this figure and the other in the first paragraph. All in all, this figure gets a 9/10. It would get a 10, but it does not have the sword that King Cold would take from him and try to use against him. But other than that this figure gets my seal of approval.

Now onto the exclusive King Cold figure. Lets see, what to peg him; VILLAINOUS, GREAT, SINISTER, MASTERFUL, and BEAUTIFUL even in his evil streak of malice. Unfortunately King Cold is not on the scene too long, he had the potential of gripping Earth with his son by his side in an epic bout that would shake the universe. Or not, thats fine too. This figure is absolutely magnificent, stupendous! (He is very much like his son Frieza in Frieza's 2nd transformation on the TV show but with more on). His armor is very well done, as well as his head that we must assume their race are born with. His expression is appropriately confident with an evil grin. His eyes redder than the snap-on tail he comes with. This excellent accessory that is his tail can bend any-which-way while attached to him, if you so choose to attach it to him at all! His black cape is of very fine material, which can wave in the wind. The accessories I mentioned before that were taped in place are an extra set of hands that can switch with the current ones inserted in his wrists that he comes with. They are both open-palmed hands, as if he were to try to hold off a huge energy place from an opponent. I covered the articulation of this figure and the other one in the first paragraph of this review. I will give this figure a 11/10. The extra point is for the awesome tail, and its ability to come off in case you want the cape to go straight down with no interference by it.

If you are in love with the Dragon Ball franchise as much as I am, this is a must have. 10/10 for this package. Final verdict.

This is one of the last figure sets I need to complete my DBZ figure collection, I might go a video showing all the many figures I have. My youtube channel is PipedPiper81. I have no uploads, but I might do some videos of my figures soon.
