I would buy this if it had a greenish tinge to it but it just looks chrome. Easy pass but if the paint job changes then I might get it. Unless they’re gonna end up doing the inevitable SSDC exclusive Knowing Tamashii the SDCC variant will probably be 4th form Cooler after the Omen and SSJ2 BS.

Let’s just hope there’s no quality control issues upon release. According to this it seems that several people have their Trunks’ arm being very loose & popping off http://instagram.com/p/CroPayfS4sG

volt I could see a recolored (green tint) Metal Cooler for an upcoming event, because that was a pricy figure to design and manufacture and so they're going to milk it (as they do other brands with the same chrome plating like Saint Seiya with endless recolors for 20 years). But 4th form Cooler would be a new sculpt since it requires a different tail (round and not striated), new feet (no lines), and overall an entirely new appearance.

I had an impossible time trying to save this, only managing to grab an image from it and a lower quality screenshot, but Tamashii has this on their story/reels right now: www.facebook.com/reel/186182097646087It shows that Meta Cooler is almost the size of Goku, but a little smaller. A very acceptable size I'd say.
I think he already have it. Very slightly in fact, but something greenish can be seen on his face (using the color of his tongue as reference). This does not mean that a more saturated version may come out in the future.

This is looking excellent. Lets just hope there’s little to no defects upon release

Certainly has a bit more of the blue-ish tinge he had in the movie. Honestly, I don't know which palette I personally prefer because there is promo material that shows Metal Cooler as having more of a silver look than the movie, but he does appear blue in a lot of media. To give you an idea, here's the poster for Movie 6 Either way, he looks fine to me (again barring his overly bulky proportions. I think Tamashii's been referencing FighterZ more often these days, which would explain the stockier proportions and shorter necks, since those models do look like that.) Still baffled at that price though, $120 is absolutely ridiculous for a character who most people would want to army build. I can sort of understand it with him being chrome plated and all, but it's still a high price. I did manage to snag one, so hopefully he's good. I'm handling him with gloves lol. Can't risk fingerprinting or scratching him can I?

If you think this is expensive. Check out the Real Grade Unicorn Gundam Phenex. The paint job on that is amazing though. Can't be too sure with Tamashii's quality control though

If you're a completionist, you'll regret not getting him. He looks incredible in every pic I've seen. He does already have a little bit of teal already in his coloration, which maybe that is part of why he's so expensive. I exclusively buy 5 inch scale figures these days, so I'll skip him just because of that, but he looks so good that I kind of want him too lol. There IS a cheaper option though. But he certainly lacks teal.

Wasn’t Cooler green because the colour of the Namekian grass was reflecting off him? Just a thought.

derelictbadger yes, the green sky and teal grass are why he has that appearance.

Hey everyone.
Got the new trunks today from hobby Genki. Only downside is mine has the faulty list arm/ bicep swivel.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to improve it?
Thanks

That’s significantly better than some of the “customs” I’ve seen on Reddit recently with ridiculously high asking prices. Snap the arm off a perfectly good Gohan figure, chuck it in a pot of orange paint, say it’s a “custom future Gohan”, charge $400. I really hope no one buys them things.
