June will sure be expensive> Smoker, Tashigi, Crocodile, Snake… (+ shipping and probably taxes and customs-shit T_T)
But it's gonna be worth it
WTFOMG? Dx WANT. Just look at that detail.
…but too poor. ;-;
@maggie:
Rona, i wonder if we're a strange breed of person. Ace and Lucci were/are my fav guys to drool over in OP (I'm pretty quiet about my lucci love though, as ace is my absolute favorite. Plus I just don't have the energy to go after collecting all the stuff for TWO characters). I just think it's funny you're the same. XD I keep secretly hoping Lucci will reappear. _
I totally agree about the smoker one. Yikes! I was really looking forward to it, too! Whoever did those faces really needs to work on something. A lot is in the face for me for figures. That's why I love GLM luffy so much. Spot-on.
It's hard for me to choose my favorite nowadays xD It goes back and forth between Lucci and Ace. Of course, it helps that Lucci has almost no merchandise, so it balances out the incredible flood of stuff Ace gets. o3o
I bet Lucci will reappear! Just like how major characters like Crocodile got to show up again with some new character history. Over the years Oda's also released a lot of little tidbits about CP9's past in the SBS corner. I wonder if they really will end up on the revolutionary side. __
GLM Luffy and Hi-spec keychain Luffy have really well sculpted faces, I agree. I wouldn't be able to look at Smoker's face without flinching every time. ;-; They really do need to work on their face sculpts. The bit of laziness in the beginning sticks around forever - they can't do a recall or a re-release without spending lots of money again anyways.
@xinyingho:
I'm sure that everybody remember about Lagunasia, the theme park having the blue Chopperman POP.
Well, the OP event is currently running and they got a blog to talk about this.
And there are good photos of a real size Hancock :D, go there to see the 8 April entry: http://laguna.blog16.jp/index.php
Woah man, that's amazing. Thanks for the pics!
If they came out with a giant Lucci POP like that, I'd have to fly over to Japan and kidnap it. =_= (Please don't make one, good sirs)
