One of Dragon Ball Z’s best villains among the colorful antagonists that have threatened the world is Frieza. The tiny tyrant who attempted to rule the world with an iron fist eventually found himself pitted against the strength of Son Goku, with their battle resulting in Goku learning how to become a Super Saiyan. While we didn’t get a lot of time to learn about the character of Frieza’s father, King Cold, it’s clear that fans still are curious about the origins of this towering alien ruler. Now, a Funko Pop that brings King Cold to life in a brand new way is available for pre-order for Dragon Ball fans looking to add more villains to their library!
Frieza’s family has been a part of the anime series in both continuity and outside of continuity. Aside from King Cold, Freiza’s brother Cooler got two feature length films focusing on his battles against the Saiyans in the Dragon Ball Z series! Going even further, Cooler recently returned in the spin-off series of Super Dragon Ball Heroes, gaining the Golden Form that Frieza had learned as a part of Dragon Ball Super: Resurrection Of F! If you can believe it, in the Dragon Ball Heroes series, Frieza also has a son named Kuriza! While there don’t seem to be any plans to bring these character into the main series, we know fans would be glad to see Frieza’s brood expand even further.
