He looks incredible. I want a Silver Surfer like this.
So many figures could benefit. Archangel wings would be so cool
@@AnthonysCustoms oh good call
@@AnthonysCustomsI didn’t even think about that
Toybiz did a few of those back in the day. I would never trust Hasbro to get something like that right though. Tamashii just proved they can, but they only do movie Marvel figures. Maybe Mafex could get us one though?
He's just a chromed out figure and character. He merely reflects his surroundings, thats why he isnt green, put him near green and hes green, people can stop their crying. He's beautiful, I'm in awe at the figure.
I was 12 or 13 years old when I first saw the movie that featured Metal Cooler, and always imagined him to be the same color as this figure. It never crossed my mind that he was green lol
That’s what I thought too! He only had the “greener” palate because he only appeared on Namek - which is nothing but greens and blues
He looks cool but the light weight is because they used a plastic like model cars to chrome dip it which if Done wrong it will be just like car models the chrome plastic over time will flake off showing either white plastic or yellow plastic or like some show black plastic
The glazing is insane but you’re right
I have the figure and he definitely has a green hue on his chrome
Too expensive, but it looks cooler than most dragon ball figures, in fact, it looks metal cool...er.
I'll see myself out.
I hope the new SHF "Naaaruti" figure reviews come out soon.
Y e s, they are some of his best reviews.
It was funny at first the way he pronounced the names. But now he just sounds stupid and annoying.
Sad naruti fanboy /\
@@AnthonysCustoms yes we are. Please make the reviews soon.🙏
@@MikeyDLooffynaaarutiii naarutttttiiiiiiiiiiii
0:14 Frieza might be Frieza, but his brother is COOLER.
LoL
Missed opportunity lol
I'm happy with how they did this guy. Out of all the possible ways they could've done this, this way is the most visually interesting and cool looking.
Definitely Cooler
I appreciate the chrome, but I'd like a more budget release with just metallic paint. It'd be more budget friendly and fit better with the other Dragon Ball SHF.
Looks neat.
Yeah, the whole war was over teal vs monochrome reflective metal. One group felt he should actually be painted teal, the other part believes that the reason he was teal in the movie was because he was reflecting the surface of Namek, and subsequent media just adopted the teal look as a baseline because of that.
Personally, I don't care either way, and it looks like they shifted a little more towards the blueish green side with the final release (but I'm not sure). Either way, he looks really good, but he also looks really scary to pose. The moment you scrape it even a bit, it's going to stand out like an oozing pustule.
Also, personally, I've never been a big fan of Metal Cooler. Final Form is my favorite, followed by 4th form, so I hope we get a 4th form version down the line (sooner, rather than later). They could reuse a good chunk of the sculpt from this Cooler. I still got this guy, though, because he's appealing enough on his own. I fear for the amount of dust and fingerprints he'll collect and how much of a pain it's going to be to get rid of it when it starts accumulating.
Do you put your figures in glass detolf or another cabinet? You can dust seal them with thin cut strips of weather stripping
Imagine if Tamashii used this chrome on a Metal Mario Figuart
Me personally, I was rather optimistic when he was first announced. I see what they’re going for, other than the tail being questionable, I could possibly see them reusing the body mold for a regular Cooler figure later down the road. I’d say he’s a fine figure.
00:54. "Alrighty, before we get into the review, let's take a quick look at my package." 😳
Probably the most beautiful figure i've seen so far. I like Cooler, so he's in my buying list.
I love the paint on this figure! Really fun to just reflect stuff off of em'. I didn't get the wart, but ... i did get a barely visible chip on his shoulder right out the box.
I'm hoping custom painters may be able to find the exact paint needed to "fix" the chipping as well as protect the paint for longevity. Awesome figure! But, very scary paint job 😂
I’m surprised they released this before a Kid Buu figure
I'm surprised they are releasing Cui before a 2.0 Final Form Frieza, 2.0 Perfect Cell and Kid Buu.
Wow lol
@@MetalCooler_1000 w name and pfp🔥
Question of the day: I also think it’s fine, the choice they went with is insane and he’s fun to look at and hit with lights. I feel like this paint job or design would’ve been killer for a convention exclusive. But despite the price, I am really happy with the end result on this guy.
I’m really hoping they release a much cheaper version with less accessories and a less chrome paint job down the road.
Honestly I just want a little trio of Metal Coolers. They could be released in a metallic silver or teal and I’d be happy.
Really wish they gave us that rock, or a supernova accessory, cause damn.
If I was rich I’d buy like 50 of these
There is something eerie about knowing that there's probably some rich madman out there who did buy 50+ of these.
Thanks for the review! I watched DBZ 20-ish years ago when I was in college, and I think I remember this guy's name, but don't remember this version from the show. He just looks incredible as a figure. I love the character design, and if he didn't cost so much I'd want to have him as a cool looking guy to pose around.
Darn it Anthony…you’ve convinced me to pick him up! I may never take him out of the box, but he looks like a sure-fire showpiece in hand.
Easily the coolest Cooler.
This is one of the best chrome finish I have seen till this date. I wish Bandai get a Terminator license and do the T1000. :D
Being that cooler is my favorite character in all of dragonball. This and the final form have both been amazing. Especially when it comes to how they both look. Cant wait for mecha frieza as well
The real question is: 4th form Cooler when? That's the version I really want now that I have Final Form.
@Zakjuh exactly! Been waiting patiently for him and coolers armored squadron as well. They were just as good imo as the ginyu force
@@ZakjuhFinal form Cooler is already a figure but that was year's ago, they'd have to reissue him if you want him again cause the one we have now is scalped up to $300
@@GoofyPoptart No, I meant that I want 4th form Cooler now that we have Final Form and Metal Cooler.
Which should I get first Final form cooler or metal cooler
Really like the way he looks, he does have a hint of green which the direct white lights dont help to see in the promo images and reviews but in a warmer light or indirect light you can see the green my only gripe is the tail not being very movable.
He is absolutely incredible looking. I love shiny figures. He looks spot on as well. Very expensive though, as much as i want it, could be a deal breaker.
I had to come back after playing around with it for a while. I want to make the correction that the tail does swivel at each POA! The one at the base is just a little tighter.
that chrome on any figure just gets me every time
I was nervous at 1st when Anthony, posted his review on this. After watching it, I feel relief that he like it. Now,it's time to open mine, out of the box.😅
This figure has alot of nice things about it, but no way in heck was I going to pay that super expensive price point, haha. Maybe if we get a budget release in a few years.
I haven't dipped on expensive S.H. Figuarts in A LONG time. The last one I purchased was the Monsterarts Gamera (Legion). I had to make an exception with this one. He just looks SOOOOO cool.
No, He looks so Cooler 😂
That looks awesome. Still havent open mine. Afraid I will chip the chrome.
I love this figure! Definitely a top pick for 2023. I would really like to know how they polished him though. I've noticed after having him out of the package for a few days, the slippery feeling that he had initially has kinda worn off. If anyone might know what they would've used to polish something like this I would really appreciate the insight
It's not polished. If you try to polish it the chrome will just be rubbed away
I guess I should have worded that a little differently, I didn't think they polished him with a polishing tool or polish liquid. I was asking more about the way he felt initially. It almost felt like an oil, but it also didn't leave anything on my hands to touch him obviously. So is that just a side effect of the vacuum chrome (wrap I'm assuming) that you mentioned?
Is that chrome plastic is the same plastic bandai use for their model kit?
I just got mine, I haven’t chipped or scuffed it yet but I’m so terrified of doing so that I’m leaving it in the box. I think the spectacle of a figure like this is sick but I like to mess around with my display so a cheaper mat version would be an instant copp
But that would be hard to not make lame
It looks great. At the time I didn’t like the price so I passed. I might try and pick one up now.
This figure looks absolutely incredible I can't wait till I have it in my collection.
Yea I loved it rly got me reinvigorated into the line, the new ss goku made me happy but this rly put it over the top for me strong close out to and up and down year for the king
This guy was also one of the most expensive DBZ figures they've put out. Getting him in hand, I feel like they put in enough effort to justify it, he absolutely looks amazing. But like many others seem to feel, I would also be happy with a non-chrome variant; he would probably fit in better, and I'd feel a lot more confident just messing around with him than the chrome version.
Also curious, I haven't seen too many people mention the lubricant he comes soaked in. How are people removing it, just a microfiber cloth or something? I get it, but its kind of a pain in the butt, I haven't even bothered with his other parts yet, just because I don't want to deal with wiping down (and probably dropping) tiny oily hands.
Beautiful figure, i should’ve preordered it. It’s giving me Terminator 2 T-1000 vibes and also the Predator’s stealth camouflage suit
Personally I don't really care if Namek's sky is the reason Metal Cooler was green-looking in the movie. Every time we've seen him he's been green in game appearances, on cards, on other merchandise, the character has always been depicted as green. The figure should have had those green accents, and from what I've seen in other people's pictures he does
Well yeah, secondary media sources are just going to straight copy the movie, and since the movie showed him as green, they copied that, regardless of the reason for it.
@@Zakjuh Has it ever actually been stated that Metal Cooler's supposed to be purely silver? It very much seems like speculation on the fanbase's part to begin with
@TurtleCraftZ1 it makes much more sense than him being made of blue metal.
Hate the price for it but i did get one, looks so cool! They really should of made the tail plug in the way they did 2nd form frieza damn i hate that part about it
Hey, just figured I'd check in for an update if you keep these after reviewing. Might be a bit early still, but have you noticed any signs of deterioration on the chrome paint? It's the one thing that's kind of been scaring me off from getting this guy.
I keep them but he hasn't been out of the box since the review. Moving soon
I love the chrome look here but would never want a figure like this, seems like a nightmare to keep fingeeprints off of and wpuld rather have a matte anime paint job (and hopefully hes cheaper if and when they release one). As far as a tail goes, I feel like there should be a solid one piece tail in a decent more neutral pose and a tail like this one, where we could articulate it.. tho honestly I feel like they could always do better, especially with this one and how segmented it is, kinda seems like it should be way easier to pull off a good articulated tail with the articulation hidden within the sculpt.
He is deffs gonna get an exclusive color for comic con for those that couldn’t afford him, but as we got him
Now he LOOKS AMAZING!!
I think hes fine with the chrome finish I always assumed he had that green tint in the movie because he was reflecting the colour of the planet he was on
I saw chromed out stuff like this all the time when I was a kid growing up in the 80s. Not bad at all.
I'm in the where and when i can po it camp when it first announced.
I was wondering for tailed figures, is it viable to do them shma Godzilla style.
….all I can hear is that chrome sound they used in that one spongebob episode when squidward was sent to the future
The sculpt is good, but I would personally like to see this finished in the titanium colors Bandai is using for some gunplas
I have long, long, LOOOOONG wanted a decent figure of Meta Cooler, who I a very underrepresented DBZ villain and one of my favorites (I just love the look.) I absolutely have to snag this guy!
I do have one question. Another reviewer said his was oily. Did you experience the same thing with yours?
Been waiting for this review. Really important when it comes to higher priced figs like this. Speaking of expensive figs, will you be getting the SH Figuarts Kaido? That's another figure your review will be of high importance.
I will.
Been waiting for the review since release!
I just want them to repurpose this for the base form cooler! I want him a lot, I don’t care about this one. But it would be cool if they made a chrome gold Frieza to pair with this
Completely ignorant to the character, I benefitted from your review by simply concentrating on the beauty of the product. The reflections this figure gives off is astounding with the colors of its environment enhancing the gleam. Thanks for this review - it must be so much easier working on a product such as this.
It is. It sucks to review crap
For tails can't they just do what they've already done with the SHMA line? Like the Godzilla figures have a crapton of joints/segments which gives super nice tail range
Honestly would have worked super well for this figure, given the design was already segmented to begin with
No. Well, not usually. For this guy, probably. But smooth tails would look terrible with all the segments
@@AnthonysCustoms Would some kind of sleeve/cover over a segmented tail work maybe? Not too familiar with what materials they could use for that tho
I got both Jiren sh figures and he's my fav character but i'm ngl METAL COOLER.... best sculpted db character yet, I don't think they can top how clean it's they cooked, look at bro shine
I think this is one of the few times Anthony is wowed by a figure. It is pretty.
Is this hard plastic with thin hard shell layer that is used in other toys with this type of shine? Those are pretty light weight plastic. I do want to see this in person.
And does it pick up fingerprints? It doesn’t look like it does. Does it need buffing to keep the shine? 😂😂😂
Overall, beautiful looking figure regardless of how it is as a figure.
It's more abs than a usual shf. You can't really see fingerprints on it unless you're hands aren't clean.
what are your initial impressions on the new full power freiza
Some parts aren't accurate and it throws off the look some. Hoping it doesn't matter much in person
I feel like one day they are going to rerelease this guy as a more shiny metallic paint rather than the chrome look. But this thing is so nice too look at
I believe chrome is how he's intended to look. Id imagine thats difficult to animate. I view this the same way a super sayains hair is supposed to appear that its glowing when they're charged up surrounded by aura
Now that’s Metal
This thing looks incredible, but not $175 incredible.
Thank you. What are they smoking?
Good thing it isn't $175, but $120.
Or in my case, €94
places like hobby genki had it for far less i think, though what deterred me is the potential wear from posing since i like to change my collection up pretty often.
I would've preferred a metallic blue/green paint application, looks better imo and wouldve made the pricepoint more justifiable for me.
Now they’ll probably release this as an SDCC Exclusive with a repaint to make him regular 4th Form Cooler to round out the Cooler collection
I think the chrome teal is perfect
Given the Chrome and being p-bandai, i skipped this one. I'd be scared to ever touch him or leave him on display cause of that finish. I have vacuchromed stuff, and it just doesn't hold up.
I think this looks cool as a stand-alone piece, but it just doesn't fit the aesthetic of the line. I really hope we get an anime color rerelease that isn't an exclusive like this. But hes such an obscure offshoot of a character i doubt they will be doing that
The only thing I care at this point (and hope for) is for Bandai to make a special version for 2024 with the default colors before going "all metal". Original color = the best color. I will buy two of those if they do it.
I'd want the original color Cooler too! I was never big on the buffed Cooler, always preferred his base and metal form. I'll pass on this chrome look, but if they rereleased it with the standard paint and plastic, I'm in for sure.
Same here man. I also skipped the buffed Cooler and I'll skip on this chrome one, but if they release the default colors with this mold. Oh boy!!!
Do you have the new Goku to review? People say it’s a great figure.
Not yet. Hasn't arrived
Hey Anthony, will you be reviewing Super Saiyan Son Goku - Legendary Super Saiya figure?
yes. as soon as it comes in
If they can put this effort in regular release i'll be happy
Question of the day: The figure looks fine. If someone doesn't like the coloring then Tamashii could reissue him with different color palette.
I agree the tail could be better (They should have designed it like one of the shma Godzilla tails) but what an awesome looking figure! Even though it might be a little difficult when doing photography/stop motion I like the mirror sliver color. I think the green was just new namak's color being reflected on him in the anime film
I don't understand why they insist on designing the tail this way
@@phoebusapollo8365 Yeah it makes no sense
Ooh... can we get a Golden Freiza in this style?
We need a t1000 terminator figure with a chrome finish like this
He does looks "cooler" than I thought. I bought a 1/6 instead for the paint and size.
I like the concept, but I feel like it'll be way too easy to ruin the paint work and then it'll look really bad. It looks great, but I don't like having to be super careful when handling an action figure.
I don't get it. The same company does the SH Monsterarts Godzilla figs, and their tails work great. What's the disconnect??
This figure looks amazing and I was about ready to buy it but then I saw the price... Yeah... It looks good but not THAT good, lol.
i don't care with some minus, this is really super cool and awesome look figure!! fantastic job SHF!!
Why is BD SH figuarts so expensive?
honestly, this looks like a limited edition :v i would like to see a regular painted one
He's perfect, exactly how he should be, based from the movie
Very surprised about the lack of fingerprints so far. You would would think it would be a nightmare.
It's fine if your hands are clean. I've had no problems at all
I agree with the tail. It looks horrible, and I'm not sure why they don't use sculpted tails. The 4th form frieza has one, and it looks infinitely better than any articulated tails
Awesome review. Love the look but the $120 price was way too much for this figure.
nice review naruti😂
As someone who owns several cloth myths, I'm deathly afraid of any Bandai chrome paint.
(Besides, even though I like the look, I feel Bandai went way overboard in the _shininess_ department. This is a very hard figure to photograph)
His color is accurate to the source he was only metallic green in the movie because he was on namek
Had a stroke watching this so shiny
Besides the tail, the one thing that I really don't like about metal cooler is his face placement. Like everyone else, I thought it looked amazing but his face was super off-putting and low on the head when seen from the side. And he doesn't look like that in the movie.
Looks awesome but I will just cope with his final form lol
Final Form is (ahem, no pun intended) Cooler, anyway.
wdym cope, i wish i got that thing when i had the chance. to the aftermarket it is for me lol.
COMPLETELY SEGMENTED TAILS 🗣
I was very excited when this got announced. Only thing I was worried about was the feet look brittle. Not sure why.
You forgot to tell the package does have a metallic background and a set of instructions which they stopped doing a bit ago.
Mine doesn’t have leftovers like your on the side. You didn’t say how it doesn’t show fingerprints and how lightweight is. Anthony got blinded by its shininess.
I didn't read the warnings on the package either or explain how plastic is made. Don't be silly.
I can imagine the fingerprints on this guy if you haven't washed your hands lol
Ooh shiney
0:14 you messed up that joke on purpose XD
I did
Honestly he should've been cheaper like 50-60$ and then people would have bought a lot of them, I personally would've bought 3.
"Let's take a quick look at my package"
I think the tail alone should've knocked this down to an 8
Sh Figuarts makes a lot of chrome and gold anime figures. If you collect any of them he won’t stick out too much
The accessories for Saint seyia aren't a full figure like this
