The sinister smirk signifies the great deal of detail on his face as his eyes slowly move upward in a deadly manner. The base portrays the character’s name in solid neon highlights, which in this case follows a Japanese naming scheme, written as “King Cold”.

King Cold is modeled to a perfect format with extreme detail and likely one of the best pieces in terms of a 7-inch scale figure. This 2-pack is quite a rarity as it was released in scarce quantities. King Cold also comes with a removable tail and inter-changeable hands for different variable positioning. The Future Trunks figure is depicted in his eruptive state, with his hair raising upward pre-Super Saiyan transformation and remaining purple as prior to his transformed state.

King Cold also comes with a removable tail and inter-changeable hands for different variable positioning.

Model Kit Statue set including King Cold and Cyborg Frieza

Statue Model Kit Series
Release date: Unknown

A more recent release came in the form of a resin-based statue model kit set which portrays King Cold alongside the Mechanized Cyborg Frieza. Modeled in a perfectly elegant yet deadly posture with an arms-crossed position, King Cold stands directly next to Frieza, who is half his size in stature but is equally as fiendish in appearance. The elite warriors stand firm as Cold's cape flows behind him their tails flail in perfectly realistic movement. The highly detailed statues come in a paint job reminiscent of an airbrush technique. Other than the destroyed battleground and the pillar adjusted to make for a realistic feel of the atmosphere, Cold's expression is that of a very serious overconfidence, detailing his very presence.
