Like I said earlier, after the underwhelming One Piece section in Wonfest, Banpresto will own 2012. :)
Really really happy with all the announcement of Banpresto OP figure. My most fav would be: GLM Shiki, Franky, GLC Zoro & Kaku, WCF Kids, and SCultures. GL Ship and the various Chopper figures are nice surprises!

I thought it was the other way around. Very poor showing from banpresto. Although poor showing from Megahouse too XD Hopefuly we'll get a figuarts one soon.
Random question. Who is the VA who voices Robin and Chopper for Funi? Apparently the VAs for Robin, Chopper and Zoro are coming to a con in my hometown (first one ever) and kinda tempted to get something signed.

No wonder Google has yet to find efficient ways to make money when people deliberately avoid it…

Another 27th Banpresto Prize Fair review ^^
The hell?
Why is the final picture Batman?Seems so out of place.
-
A GLL Robin will make the expo perfect. But I can wait for a "perfect" time skip Robin, than a rushed timeskip version of her just like the Figuarts Zero and POP version being released. Not impressed by both, at all. XD

Now you've made me curious. I could agree with the FZ one not being the best work but what's wrong with the POP version?

She's not painted yet but I'm just not impressed with the pose, the face and the sculpt or her clothes. And I know the sculptor would be Ajiken. Not a fan of his "generic" female figure faces.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Btw the Kuji Kyun are impressive. Whitebeard is big. Still waiting for mine to come.
!
But Luffy and Benn of the 10 cm are terrible. Why they can make a good Ace and Shanks but failed to sculpt Luffy? Can't understand it.–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Next GL Ship: Moby Dick and Marine? :)
I think some of us might collect multiple Marine GLS for the sake of recreating the Marineford Battle! XD -
wait….so March is for the TS part 1 right?
So does that mean any day now for Amazon Lily? I thought they weren't starting until April so XD
Also. I thought somebody said we were seeing new TS set? Was that incorrect?
I believe it's April for Amazon Lily and the rest is after that.
I don't collect WCFs, but think I'll be getting most of the sets this year.
-
I'm browsing the GLM website.
Zoro turns out to be pretty decent after a worse prototype IMHO. http://www.prizebp.jp/grmn/glm24.html But Sanji is the beast. A macho "womanizer". http://www.prizebp.jp/grmn/glm25.html–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Although I can't read Japanese, looks like this sculptor interview on watanablog gave a lot of insight: http://ameblo.jp/watana-blog/entry-11166866322.html He interviewed the sculptor of Banpresto Figure Colosseum Jango, Yuta Fuke(?) which happened to be the sculptor of WCF Luffy moustache, GLM Usopp and IK Romance Dawn Robin.
He also sculpted "the most perfect Blackbeard figure to date", DX Shichibukai Blackbeard and the IK Luffy Marineford.
Wow that guy does have great talent! XD
No wonder Jango is as good as it is. Anyone would spend a little time to translate that interview? XD -
That guy is a genius xD. I love all of that sculpts he have made :D. Specially IK Luffy Marineford.
-
Lets go by arc shall we?
East Blue: Nojiko child Baroque Works arc: Mr. 3, Mr. 5, Miss Valentine, Miss Goldenweek, Kohza, Vivi (BW Agent) Mr. 9, Miss Monday
Jaya: Laffitte, Doc Q, Burgess, Stronger, Van Augur, Skypiea: Conis' Dad, Ohm, Gedastu, Laki, other Shandians, Norka the snake
W7EL: Clover, Saulo, Olvia, Tom, Sogeking, W7 Robin (we got W7 Franky so) Aokiji (Young) Thriller Bark: Not-Dead Brook Saboady: Kizaru, Pacifista
Amazon Lilly: Aphelandra, Sweet Pea
Impel Down: Sadi-Chan, Domino, Shilliew, Inazuma, Zebra, Koala etc.
Marineford: Akainu Luffy/Ace (Botherhood), Hina, Jango, Fullbody, Helmeppo, Tsuru, BB crew
TS: Brook, Perhona, Herakules.Bolded chars are ones that as far as I'm concerned there is NO excuse for skipping. Not when you look at some of the pathetic choices they have gave us over the years. I think the Admirals need proper versions doing, not crappy ones with chairs. And Brook seems vastly ignored (Hell I think the likes of Brook, Buggy and Garp need actual serious re-releases. For chars so important they're nearly impossible to get proper versions of.)
Yeah, they should've put the leftover notable characters into sets which had filler (Foxy ship!) cause there aren't enough of them to make more sets of the same arcs… I suppose they could do more mixed sets like the coming one with Laboon/Duval/etc. But if it depends on the characters' popularity they're buggered.
-
GLM Usopp and SC Jango, two of my favourite characters and two of my favourite figures. I love that guy.
-
Jango looks amazing. Makes me excited for IK Robin now
-
nice blacksmith, i don't have enough of seeing Zoro x)
the children wcf so cute, i want zoro robin and shirahoshi x)
usually i'm collecting only zoro wcf but they are some awesome piece beside of him xDI'm starting to transition to a Zoro fan boy as well after my first Zoro SA POP. WCF zoro & shirahoshi for me :D. Can't wait for the WCF SA Zoro & the fake counter part haha.
-
this year WCF gonna cost me a lottttt…but I'm happy since we get a lot of new char and really hope they make 3D2Y Brook, WCF Robin W7 such as "the chained" and "with mask and robe" that will make me even happier...
for GLS Mobydick hell yeah finally a good sculp for it gonna be good with my WB crew MBH on it , may even do some marineford diorama as a big project with those GLS
-
I can't wait for the GLM vol.0 Shanks and Shiki. They are perfect.
-
This isn't exactly one piece related, but just curious, can tapestries be ironed? I don't want to damage mine, but it's rather crumpled with all the creases and foldings, so I thought of doing that…
Hmm… depends on what kind? I've seen lots of different materials used. I think (just going by clothes I've ironed) you can iron the non-printed side. If you're wary, put a t-shirt/sheet over it and then iron it.
and WOW, so much stuff. All the WCFs look great to me!! Though I am running out of room in my case -_-;;. That is really interesting about that sculptor, Jango AND Marineford IK Luffy. I am most definitely a fan. Someone should update MFC and give him credit for his sculpts if it hasn't already been done.

Here's a screenshot of the sculptor from Banpresto Figure Colosseum website.
Notice the upper right figure? I think he's also the sculptor of that phenomenal figure. No doubt he is a Genius!
More of the same please… XD -

Heads will roll if they manage to fuck up the final product respectively.

More of the same please… XDOoh IK Nightmare Luffy. It wouldn't surprise me if he was the one who sculpted it.
-
Yay! Franky to complete my pre-timeskip crew collection! ^^ Though I would have preferred him in a "Suuuuuper!" pose. Kid Nami is super cute. Kid Robin . . . looks too much like an adult. >.< And, yeah . . . no Sunny?!!! Bad.
So, let's see. Perhaps Moustache Luffy from the Amazon Lily one. Then, no CP9 for me. Kaku's the only one I'd be slightly interested in, but not enough to spend $20 to just get him. Then, I'll probably just pick up an entire set of the poll set, so I'll end up with a Killer and a Charlos for sale. Maybe a Duval, too, unless I decide to gift him to a friend. Then Franky and maybe Paulie. Not sure if I need any kid ones. I've got the Megahouse, and I'm pretty satisfied with them.
-
Finally got my Chibi IK thanks to 1up. They're really nice. Opposite this time. old set Robin don't stand up easily, this time Chopper XD

lol I never once noticed that Chopper was being all Doctory. Nice change
-
Put my Zoro SA together today. I think I'm the only one that had no problems with the swords/sheaths at all. Didn't need to force anything, and no paint transfer.
[hide][/hide]
-
Nice pics Maggie. Can't wait to get my SA Zoro. Maybe next week.
-
lOVE the new WCF sets!! Now wish for a more "Marine" oriented set. There are tons of Marines like CPT Morgan and other high ranking marine officers that look great.
-
!
Epic photo is EPIC!!!, Amazing Mags! -
Gah HS sure is taking a long time to ship my SA Zoro. Darn.
Nice pics maggie!

not sure how to clean it… -

wasn't Morgan one of the ones in the poll? If he failed in that I doubt we'll ever see him.
I'm sad cus if they're putting Robin, Franky and Shirahoshi in this child set we probably won't see Tom, Olivia, Saulo, Clover, Otohime or Fisher Tiger at all. Yet we got such awesome chars like Sabo's Father and Bluejam. Criminal.

I don't have the problem either to put them on the belt.
But I do have problem putting 2 sword inside the sheaths.1 is no problem at all.
Anyway, here's my sailing again.
[Hide][/Hide]And I got my spare luffy…....he's quickly transformed into red and blue.
I think i rather get that cheap POP luffy DX, and just paint him red and blue rather than spending $100 for that limited red and blue luffy.
[Hide][/Hide]I think croc use this hat better than kizaru.

were these posted? the Shirahoshi doesn't look familiar.
!
also Blacksmith, i left you a comment on MFC but you should really make a tutorial on how you cut Luffy's legs, cause if i ever get him i'd do the same.

I just used barbaric mode. XDThat Jimbei GDC is so small…........kinda cute XD.
-
Is that kingplayer store reliable?? I see some stuff that i wanted there. Are they originals?
Yeah, they're reliable. Just a bit more expensive than other stores.

Nami looks really weird there…
-
They also have the Poll set, which comes in May
thx for the info. Couldn't find this info anywhere. This fan poll set is really cool.
-
I think they cut off a bit too much of Jinbei's body, teehee.
-
Jinbe looks kinda like how Chopper in first set was. verrrry small.
I wonder if they make the secret for the new set an alt Franky.
-
I just realized that I'm going to need kid Zoro wcf to go with my Kuina wcf. adds to list

i just realise that i did gtreat by taking kuina as well now the pair will be created :D
-
Where were shown the new Greet Deep ? I didn't saw it on the reviews Redon posted. Anyone has got other photos ? I NEED to see that Drake better Please.
-
Welp, Shirahoshi madness has put her on the front page of MFC. sniff Victory for OP even if half her fans don't even like it
-
Yep shirahoshi on it, even banpresto grandline lady Robin had to make way for her, put on the back seat, been delayed just for here haha.
-
There is good OP stuff in the MFC POTD section today. That's good since the avalanche of Madokas and Vocaloids as quite insane.
Anyway, good news for POP lovers. Next Megahobby event is on the 26th of May, I don't know if you were aware of it. But will be there another event before that one?

it was shown at Dome Tour
here all of them
there also was on display ichiban kuj history Newgate and Roger.
for The Legend of GOL・D・ROGER releаse date end of May
-
The Great Deep Collection are really nice, I just hate how you don't get them all in the box.
So you're always missing some unless you go out and get robbed buying them individually.
-
Yeah I'll take my chances and buy a box of those this time around.
-
yeah there's a lot of nice ones in this time around. Although I can easily leave Drake and Franky.
Knowing my luck I'll get them and no Robin or Chopper tho.
-
Well hopefully people will do like the always do and trade/sell the ones they don't want.
