>>10122464The original did come with both a rock to stand on and a stand, so I suspect Bandai engineered him with that in mind and never updated to accommodate not including those things in the second and third release.
>>10122477At least personally, Frieza 1.0's most glaring issues were all QC and paint related. They fixed the horrendously loose joints on the original, updated the joints to no longer be white on purple armor, and improved the face. The articulation could be better and I'm sure a proper re-tooling would look fantastic, but I'd much rather have them use that effort for a full power Frieza than a version we have that already works but it isn't perfect. We actually need a proper 2.0 Perfect Cell or Trunks to fix the sculpt issues and I don't think the same can be said for Freezypop.
