One Piece Collectibles v.7 Main Discussion - "The never-ending POP alts"

Yeah still no word from HLJ, so by this stage I assume they've failed me.

sensui

Sensui. Did you see the updated Kenshin pics on Amiami?

Yeah actually I saw those earlier tonight thanks Strawhat….He's looking great....can't wait for these (ordered both). Now if only they'll get to making some GEM Yu Yu Hakusho figures....

I KNEW you wouldn't be able to choose xD
I'll just buy the second one when I see it in tokyo assuming I'll find it =p
Got my GolD Roger Will of D Figure today, looks awesome!!
One of my favourites already!

@Xajen:

They already went up for order on Otacute and BiJ back in January. I wouldn't really expect anyone else to have them except maybe PA when they're released.

Oh, why not? o_o HLJ usually gets these, I got all my GLM from them.
Did something happen?

sensui

Yep definitely cannot choose between those Kenshins…had to snatch both heh....

Better pictures of Brotherhood DX stolen factory....Ace fan girls better prepare themselves....he actually looks pretty damn good imo:

Please see this post, too many pictures to link:

P.S. I edited the links on the stolen factory Snap Girls DX, actoys server is too erratic, saved them on photobucket instead:

Because that's after the ban is instated and HLJ has never been steady with getting anywhere near enough stock to fill all orders.

keithgator

Heehee OT but I got this just now and feel like sharing, I am happy happy happy :wub:

!

This will potentially be the most revealing figure I will ever be buying and keeping for myself, and I absolutely love it. Don't think I'll be keeping the Bikini Namis/ Hancocks for good…

Snow

Just to clarify and put thanks where thanks is due:

Thank you all but Strawhat Shanks deserves all the thanks for noticing vol 12 wcf was up at PA.

And thanks Sensui for posting the Brotherhood pics. Ace is lovely indeed.

I agree, Beckman is looking very nice.

Gum-Gum-Bazooka

omg i want that Arlong, are there actually any decent Arlong figures released?

Cyber-Robin

Back from places. and this finished uploading when I was out. So yay. wcf review:

Dear Customers,

We are sorry to inform you that because of restrictions imposed by Banpresto, our supplier will not be able to get any single quantity of this item, and thus neither will we. We therefore have to cancel all orders for this item. Because of the same restrictions, we will not be taking preorders for One Piece prize items anymore. They will be up for order on the store when they arrive in stock only, if we do manage to get them.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this situation that is totally out of our control.

Sincerely,

I don't want to say I told you so but….

@Gum-Gum-Bazooka:

omg i want that Arlong, are there actually any decent Arlong figures released?

Since I have every Arlong figure I know to exist (11 so far), I feel I can say there are no good accurate figures. The current key chains, can figure, and statue (by ATTAKUS) look okay, but they always mess up the face. The new banpresto keychain looks promising.

The best looking chibi figures currently are WFC and MBH. The older one's are okay, but not that great (I'm current repainting all the older ones so I don't have pics at the moment).

I do like the Deque (lego like) Arlong, but that has more to do with it being the only set featuring all 4 fishmen.

CZor

Ok so gave in and got Arlong WCF at PA….lol. Now to get Hachi from Archonia or somewhere else...

And got a shipping notice/confirmation from HLJ on DX Akainu...is on it's way!!!

Glad I didn't order from there in the end. I'd have been angry. And Ate faces off things.

Cyanotic

That probably means no Brotherhood either. That set is gonna be crazy expensive from whatever sellers end up actually getting some stock. :/

About Brotherhood((

Dear Customers,

We thought we needed to inform you that because of restrictions imposed by Banpresto, we will receive this item in May instead of the initial schedule of April. Please contact us as soon as possible if this is a major inconvenience to you and you wish to cancel your order.
Because of the same restrictions, we will not be taking preorders for One Piece prize items anymore. They will be up for order on the store when they arrive in stock only, if we do manage to get them.

Ouch. But I guess it was expected. I'm having doubts about whether the proxy I asked will be able to get me those Banpresto figures now, usually if major Jap stores don't get them, he won't either :sad:

Inishi

I got my WCF Vol 11 today. Thanks again, crease. :3

crease

@Inishi:

I'm not happy with the quality. Especially for Magellan and Hannyabal. Paint job isn't that great and what bugs me the most is that my Hannyabal came with the wrong base. Or more like: The base doesn't have any sticks I could connect with the figure itself. But I just watched Cyber-Robins video, and he doesn't seem to have that problem, while iomi has the same base like me. :/
Also, Hannyabals trident is bent to hell like Ivankovs microphone. Just disappointed. :/

What's wrong with you, Banpresto. >:O

Glad you got them but sorry to hear they are a bit crap. Banpresto is just in money-making gear and the quality is going to hell.

Dear Customers,

We are sorry to inform you that because of restrictions imposed by Banpresto, our supplier will not be able to get us full quantities for this item (DX Figure Brotherhood).

They will be up for order on the store when they arrive in stock only, if we do manage to get them.

The quality gives me creep! With the quality being so good and the price are almost 10 times cheaper it'll definitely make more people buy these bootleg products more :wassat:

That's strange when I typed "m-o-d-e", the text changed to "all powerful genie". WTF?

@Cyber-Robin:

As I explained before, for every figure sold by a store, the game centers lose potentially ¥80,000. Banpresto is only doing these restrictions because of pressure from the game centers.

Worry not! If I DO manage to get the brotherhood from my proxy and decide on sticking with the POPs I might just want to let the set go. (Well of course I need to thanks cyber for all those brilliant reviews as well, but I'm not sure if he wants this set anyway so…)

Heehee why am I feeling so happy today? I really don't know

turns out typing all powerful genie = all powerful genie!all powerful genie! lol

My Magellan and Ivankov arrived from Archonia this morning. Considering last time regular postage took 20 days and this time it took 3, I'm pretty happy!!!
Both figures are pretty bulky which I like as it feels like more value for money! I think they both are excellent. One little niggle is that Ivankov feels to flexible. His microphone stands are really weak and he is very springy overall. New material sucks. Apart from that, volume 11 is my favourite set since volume 8! Just need to get the rubbish prison Nami now :/

The Nami is probably the best one in the set. XD Except maybe Luffy, Magellan or Hannybal….maybe Iva XD

She's certainly better done than Bon and Buggy at least.

Buggy is a little bit off. His face doesn't really look like him. I have the prison trio and my favourite of the three is Mr.3. I think it's very well sculpted. Ivankov (we got the last two ) should arrive soon.

From the pictures Liz posted, the paintjob seems kinda wobbly. Still, shall get her as I want the full set. Also need kid Sanji and Kuina to finish volumes 10 and 7!

Mandrake has randomly put up volume 11 btw. They said they weren't getting them in but guess the got some in after all. They currently have them all in stock. So go grab Alvada and Patty while they're still there people!

Those are high res pics. Much bigger than the fig.
You can see some of the not so good details (especially on the stripes of her outfit).
Yet, Bon-Nami is one of my fav WCF and face it, paint job in NEVER perfect on WCF…

Seriously Jerk, quit being a dick to everybody and them collect their Narbies in peace.
