DRAGON BALL Z - Metal Cooler - Figure Solid Edge Works 17cm

This vinyl figurine from the Solid Edge Works collection – which focuses on anatomical realism and sharp, defined lines – by leading manufacturer Banpresto depicts the mechanised, cybernetic version of the fearsome space tyrant: Metal Cooler.

The figurine stands approximately 17 cm tall, making it an ideal collector’s item to display on a manga shelf or to feature dynamically in a display case dedicated to the saga’s major antagonists. The design of the “Solid Edge Works” range stands out for its sharp rendering of the fighters’ silhouettes, capturing the cyborg in an upright, highly stable pose that exudes a cold and intimidating confidence. The high-quality PVC plastic sculpture pays meticulous attention to the character’s distinctive morphological and mechanical details. It features his streamlined humanoid silhouette, his long segmented tail, and the meticulous finish of his metallic armour. The paintwork has been specially treated to produce chrome and silver highlights, perfectly reproducing the technological sheen of his metal body.

This officially licensed collectable is aimed directly at die-hard fans of Akira Toriyama’s masterpiece, those nostalgic for the franchise’s classic feature films, and collectors of the Banpresto brand. The item is supplied mounted on its dedicated display stand inside an illustrated printed box.

In the universe of the Dragon Ball Z animated films, and more specifically in the feature film *100,000 Metal Warriors*, Cooler is the elder brother of the tyrant Frieza. Left for dead after being hurled into the Sun by Son Goku, his brain accidentally fuses in the vacuum of space with the Big Gete Star, a giant parasitic on-board computer endowed with a technological consciousness. By assimilating this vast database, Cooler’s mind is reborn as Metal Cooler, taking absolute control of the machine to enslave New Namek in order to drain the planet’s energy. This cybernetic body possesses terrifying military capabilities: it feels no pain, regenerates instantly and analyses every wound to modify its combat circuits, thereby immunising itself against its opponents’ attacks. This standalone diorama serves as a reminder that Metal Cooler is just one of the hundred thousand interconnected metal clones mass-produced by the central computer system, forcing Son Goku and Prince Vegeta to join forces in their Super Saiyan forms to destroy the machine’s cybernetic core.
