One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"

Koginetsunemaru

Yeah next month is the WCF Z set 1 and also Animal set 1 (Chopper, Bird, Lil Laboon etc.)

this is the set you are splitting right? Zoro i want him so much!

Cyber-Robin

this is the set you are splitting right? Zoro i want him so much!

I dunno if I'm gonna bother to be honest anymore. I only want Robin and Nami and its not worth buying a box and being stuck with all of the others. I'd rather just pay more for those two and get the ones I want.

i understand, i should also try to ask 1UP to secure a zoro for me :/

Cyber-Robin

I asked him for Robin and Nami, he said that he's gonna try and get a set or two to split for us =3

maggie

Ehehe I kinda want that Zoro & nami, sucker for sunglasses I guess!!

Zoro with sunglass is totally canon!

Cyber-Robin

Yeah hopefully he can get us all some. I'm kinda on the fence this time around. I mean we all know the past few sets have gone cheap quick. HOWEVER this time the sets are all main characters. Although that didn't help the kiddies set.

I usually collect the Luffy's and Usopp's in each WCF set :)

DanMatrix

I already ordered Robin and Zoro from BIJ but now I'm thinking how am I going to get Nami. I'm thinking I should just buy a set but then I'm stuck with 2 singles and BIJ is sold out of the sets.

What set comes out in Dec.? Isn't that opening set just going up for pre-order is Dec, I haven't seen it for pre-order.

There are several Z sets, maybe there's some confusion because of that..

(picture here: http://myfigurecollection.net/picture/514534&ref=item%3A122788 )

I think the one that is out in December is the one in the top line. The one in the 3rd line is out in February 28, if im not mistaken.

Yes, I have Robin and Zoro for the Feb. set, the thing I'm confused about is that BIJ never put pre-orders for the Dec. set which is weird. So I didn't know it was coming out so soon.

So BIJ is slowly turning into a Japanese supermarket huh

I kind of want the full set of WCF, to be honest XD They all turned out looking quite nice. Might try to get it if I have some spare cash.

Only 6 days to go until MegaHobby!!! Although I'm taking a break from collecting for a while, i'm still hella excited considering some of the new announcements may not be released until 2014 anyway (Franky! lol)

Been looking at the trend between FAZ announcements/releases and then POP's and made a short list of FAZ releases that we could expect POP's of:

I doubt the last 4 on the unlikely list will every see a FAZ release let alone a POP (Sorry Makino fans). I haven't included Chopper's recently shown point forms either, although we've already had 2 now, so we may get heavy/walk.

! | POP LIKELY
| POP UNLIKELY
|
| BUGGY
| JOZU
|
| SENTOMARU
| COBY & HELMEPPO
|
| JINBE (NEW WORLD VER.)
| BOA HANCOCK (MARINE FORD VER.)
|
| SADIE-CHAN
| KEIMI & PAPPUG
|
| MAGELLAN
| HANNYABAL
|
| SHANKS (MARINE FORD VER.)
| YASOPP
|
| BASIL HAWKINS
| SCRATCHMEN APOO
|
| X DRAKE
| UROUGE
|
| TRAFALGAR LAW (NEW WORLD VER.)
| CAPONE BEGE

|
| | MR.3 GALDINO
|
| | MISS GOLDENWEEK
|
| | MAKINO
|
| | ZEFF
|
| | DR. HILULUK
|
| | RYUMA
| I know as usual MH will suprise us though with a completely random line up of original figures. It's impossible to second guess them. Part of the reason MegaHobby is so exicting. Half expecting to see a Leopard Lucci and Kaku or something equally as crazy.

Cyber-Robin

Oh is it time for this again? I always love doing these
What I want to see: POP: SA Tony Tony Chopper (Horn Point Version)
POP: SA Tony Tony Chopper (Heavy Point Version)
POP: SA Tony Tony Chopper (Walking Point Version)

POP Children: Hancock, Kuma, BB, Croc, Dofla, Jinbe, Moriah, Mihawks, Hina, Smoker, Tashigi

POP Z Line: Luffy, Nami, Robin, Chopper, Zoro, Ain (spoilered because of Z reveals)

! The de-aged characters (all of them)
What we'll likely see POP Neo: X-Drake
POP Neo: Basil Hawkins
POP: SA Law
POP: Shanks (Marineford)
Child Shirahoshi, Law
! Z version Chopper
POP Limited: Jinbe 1.5 (Fishman Isle colours)

Valsheto

I do hope this time they show us a FU***NG BUGGY P.O.P and Sengoku P.O.P…. We all have our wishes but common those 2 have been in the series a long time and still nothing...

We will probably see some re-paints and 2-3 new P.O.P and to be sure, 15 new Choppers.

AlnaJames

Yeah, Buggy not having a POP is possibly the most unrighteous thing when it comes to OP merchandise. I don't really know what are they waiting for, his time-skip appearance? He deserves at least one pre-TS POP that is for sure. Do they have something personal against him?

Cyber-Robin

Its not even an excuse that they're waiting for his TS appearance when they're doing pre-TS versions of the likes of Kid.

Louis-1988

Hopes & Dreams:
Sengoku
Buggy
Any Supernova(s)
Momonga
Ain
Z
Kinemon
New Shanks

What I Expect:

hody jones might get released but not anything soon
maybe Bellamy
funny if they actually did Sanjuan Wolf from the blackbeard pirates

roronoazoro

Damn POP arlong on sale everywhere, should have waited. - 1999 CDJ

Got a funny feeling that Eustass kidd & Shilliew will also follow suit.
Most recent ones are still available too - HLJ
I think POP hype is over.

AlnaJames

POP hype is never over lol :P Not the first time bigger figures (EMS only) of not really popular characters has been on sale.

Yeah, I commented on this the other day. Seems all the POP pre-orders just aren't stopping on HLJ these days and on release they're ending up back in stock regularly elsewhere as well. Even think Usopp is still available at HS.

I think it's because MH are running out of major characters that appeal to the casual One Piece audience. I'm sure characters like Buggy, Marine Ford Shanks and Sailing Again Law would sell well, we've had the Shichibukai now and at least 3 versions of each straw hat member. I mean don't get me wrong, there's still a plethora of characters to chose from like Hina, Sengoku, Dr. Hiluluk, but in terms of main character who have regulary appeared throughout the series there just aren't many left.

I wish you the best for selling Garp, let me know if you have any joy as I am really struggling. Doesn't seem many people are interested.

Also, I'm loving everyone's wishlists!! I'm glad you like making them Cyber!! Me to!!

Personally I don't want to see any 1.5, repaint, chopperman or z figures, although we're guarenteed to get at least one of each, lol

FRANKY!! NUFF SAID!!

I don't know why, but i'd love a Sentomaru!! He's just so badass the way when he first used Haki on Luffy, Luffy was like "huh, that hurt, how come?"

I'd also really like to see Magellan, he'd look awesome alongside Shiryu and JF-Special in his ID shirt

Epic moment:

!

Other than that, i'm pretty easy. I hear people's pleas for Buggy & Sengoku. Damn, even Roger and Dragon deserve a release by now, but I can't see it happenening any time soon sadly.

Rather than re-post, here's the links to my last post showing thumbnails of characters that deserve a POP.

MaxGoof

Oh man, I've been waiting for someone to start the POP speculations!

No one is asking for poor Hody Jones! What gives?

Here's my guesses and wants…

LOCKED:
Sailing Again Franky
Sailing Again Law

LIKELY:
Captain Buggy the Clown
Coby
Sailing Again Jimbei
Basil Hawkins
X-Drake
One Piece Z Strawhats

UNLIKELY:
Hody Jones
Hachi
Cammy & Pappaggu
Luffy with Starry Eyes

I WISH:
Golden Shiki
Dr. Hililuk
Dr. Kureha
Fisher Tiger
Helmeppo
Neo Franky Repaint

Cyber-Robin

There are far too many chars I think are overdue POPs. As far as I'm concerned Buggy, Magellan, Sengoku and Chopper's forms top the list. Roger I think deserves one too.

Speaking of Buggy did anyone get his DPCF? Is he even out? Same goes for Croc

DanMatrix

I scored the Shirahoshi HOOK for 6000yen off Manda and they invoiced me with 2380yen shipping so I got a deal for once!

does the Franky Super Pose!

Thats around $103usd total, about $29 of that is shipping. I believe its SAL, under shipping method it says SAL like I selected when ordering. It must be at the limit of SAL though being $29.

Anyone who is looking for her keep your eyes on Manda, I got her from the Fukura(or however its spelled) store.

CaptainAppleJack

@MaxGoof:

Many people don't really like him.
But I don't have anything against him and think a figure of him would be very good regarding poses. There's his trident, Kirisame, Energy Steroids,…

I'd also would like to see a Caesar POP and some flashback characters.

I've almost pulled the trigger on Arlong a few times but keep stopping. The trouble is that even on clearance, after shipping Arlong to the US, he ends up being so expensive that you might as well buy from the American-distributed batch.

It´s ODA favorite and still they dont make him… Dunno if they dont wanna do him cuz Oda dont want to... i really dont know... he has been in the series since start..

Yes please… prob a hody steroid version, hope not since the usual one looks better. Or why not the "after steroid use Jones"...

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

Baaah.... WCF vol.29 ANOTHER SHIP, really dont like the ships cuz they dont fit in my "stairs". Specially flying merry.

Cyber-Robin

I wouldn't mind the ships if we even had Sunny. Hell I found Merry very difficult to get and don't really care for the Flying alt. Wouldn't have minded a wrecked version. But nope.

MaxGoof

I'm also surprised that so few people seem to want a POP Coby. He appears in the very first episode/chapter, he's Garp's protege and Luffy's destined Marine "rival". I can see where people wouldn't care about Helmeppo, but Coby seems like a must to me, especially in a line that already has two unique versions of Perona (of all characters).

DanMatrix

@Cyber-Robin:

Are the ships decent looking? I never bought the Kuja pirates ship since even in the official pics it looks crappy. I'm assuming their the same height and perhaps wider than your average WCF?

Cyber-Robin

No idea. I had the Hancock Ship but never opened it since didn't care. Ended up giving it away to Alina

Coby would be a very boring P.O.P. I dont think i would buy it. I bought the FAZ with helmeppo and its so bad.

maggie

My POP wishlist has been small, even when I started collecting the first ones so long ago. Give me Buggy. Not Carue, Buggy. I am still sore about that.

Killax

Yeah everybody wants a Buggy :(.

Now I am wondering, should I get the limited Lucci? I do like him, but he also is out of place with the other Marine figures…

Thanks for your imput guys!

DanMatrix

@Valsheto:

Fukuoka, south japan :)… I was looking for her, but dont really know if i want her that bad.

Considering I almost bought her from Nippon for about $150 total, I'm very happy with $103. Manda and Nippon are the only JP stores shipping her by SAL aswell, HS wants 4000yen EMS and HLJ is 3600yen. Even Nippon wanted $33.50 SAL so I am surprised that Manda is only $29. Definately the best place to buy her if you do. Even if shes on sale one day the EMS shipping would still make it hard to beat what I paid. 6000 yen is the cheapest on Manda to date to my knowledge.

If you like him then what's stopping you?

Personally I would wait until seeing what comes out this weekend. Never know they might show something to go with. Doubt it but it's possible.

Nothing really, but I like to have at least pairs of the same "crew". And Lucci doesn't really have a model to compliment him or his crew :(.

Perhaps I should get him and do something with him and limited Garp. On the other side, I have new Teach and Shiliew up for preorders also…
Expensive months coming up then :O

DanMatrix

Received 2 WCFs from Manda today, before I get to those I think I should address a couple things. Regarding my post the last time I put pics up, I was making fun of the fact that all the comments were negative, nothing else. I was not offended or anything like that. So post away if you wish.

Saige questioned my photo skills and what I use, I have a decent digital camera thats 2 years old I think. I really don't know how to get the best results out of it and currently I have it set to a pretty low quality for easy upload to Ebay, etc. I always forget to change that. My lighting is the real culprit. I have very poor lighting in my room and I take pics at night after work so I don't have natural light to help. I shine a desklamp at the direction of my figs which causes them to look a lot more shiny than they really are. Most of the time you do not have bright direct light shining at your figs. You can see that in my latest pics, the shadows on Franky and the shine in the girl's left eye. I'm really to lazy to do a better job, breaking out a better light etc. So my pics in general are pretty amateurish and do not show the quality 100% when it comes to shinyness atleast.

Now to the pics, Water7 Franky and Koala. (thanks Raithos)

!

Raithos

That's Koala, dan.

please swimsuit Robin, please swimsuit Robin, Please Swimsuit Robin Megahouse dammit!!!

saige

Ha, Dan, I wasn't questioning your camera skills at all, more saying that people shouldn't go off about the quality of a figure from some fast snaps (which I thought looked like a camera phone) in a dark room. ;)

roronoazoro

Rob Lucci 1.5 definitely is worthy of a purchase. There is significant improvement over the latter version. Overall i am satisfied with him.
I think those collectors who payed ridiculous amount over the old lucci will certainly be regretting alot.

@ Raithos
I think we already have a swimsuit nico robin to compliment with crimin nami.
[hide]
[/hide]

benhan

Got POP Neo Repaint Robin and I must say oh I love her. Better skin tone and the best sculpt of Robin out there, couldn't be happier.

[hide]
Her lovely face is the best part of this figure. She reminds me of… Nico Robin.

She's so slim especially at the waist but I think Oda drew her just like that.
[/hide]

I'm a late figure collector so definitely missed out the Neo POP when they were released. From the three Neo POP I wanted most, just got two (Zoro and Robin). Looking for a Neo Nami (original one) or wishing her to be re-released. The three of them (+ Neo Shanks) could revive the "classic", unique feeling of One Piece.

@CaptainAppleJack:

Many people don't really like him.
But I don't have anything against him and think a figure of him would be very good regarding poses. There's his trident, Kirisame, Energy Steroids

Well id certainly love some hody figures, the colosseum figure of him is looking like it will be pretty good. Ill keep an eye out for that one

2D3Y

Great shots Benhan!! That's a lovely Robin indeed!!!

Killax, get Lucci 1.5. He is an amazing figure. I get what you mean about not knowing what to do with it, but I don't think you should skip him.

I think I'll try with the wishlist thing:

What I want, and think Megahouse will release later than sooner:
Buggy
Roger
Magellan
Sengoku

What I want that has a slightly chance: Ivankov
Sentomaru
Sadi-chan
Inazuma
Mr. 3
Mr. 1
Coby and Helmepo
Otohime
Chibihoshi
Camie

What I want, but Megahouse will never notice their existence: Shiki
Dr. Hiluluk
Dra. Kureha
Tom
Olvia
Human Brook
Dadan
Fisher Tiger
Ryuma
Jozu

What I expect: Chopperman line: rainbow version
SN line: X Drake, Urohige
Final Boss arc line: Magellan
SA line: Law
Limited recolor: Jinbei green/grey version (more like a Boa rerelease than a 1.5 or a SA release)
Limited 1.5/repaint: Crocodile, since his price is increasing on the second market
Random male line: Yassop
Random, but needed to make money Female line: Sadie or Camie
Mild line: will remain dead

What we probably get (you know, because this is so random and it's fun to do it): Chopperman line: chocolate version
SN line: Capone, Zoro Shabaoidy ver. (because he sells well)
Final Boss arc line: Foxy
SA line: Shirahoshi Poseidon version (sited with her arms holding her tail). A cryface will be an extra part.
Limited recolor: Crocodile Casino version (more like a Boa rerelease than a 1.5 or a SA release)
Limited 1.5/repaint: Akainu, they'll fix his face and piss everyone again (like the BB 1.5)
Random male line: Duval
Random, but needed to make money Female line: Boa's sisters (missing the point of releasing a sexy female, but appealing to the public because they'll contain Salome in 2 parts and extra arms for Boa, like Sabo had for Ace & Luffy)
Mild line: they'll resuscitate the line adding a SA to it, featuring Koala, Random kid from PH and Momonosuke's black shadow.

Cyber-Robin

you think we'll probably get Duval and Foxy? Dunno if I can agree with that lol.

I think I'm the only one with hope that we'll see Hiruluk eventually. He always seems to be the most popular of the flashback chars (Not including the likes of Shanks and the kids.) and it could be an excuse for Megahouse to release another smaller Chopper. Then again they've been sitting on a Bellemere reissue for too long now.
