Wow not bad. Not bad at all, MH. Depending on the price and final product it might be really tempting to get some of those. Just look at Sadie-chan. Seriously wow.

I'm going with Chopper (with maybe Robin.) since he has a price already.
-
I quite like the whole loot this time :) And I like that they are on the roll and make a lot.
Califa and Sadie-chan are must buys for me, I'll get Robin and Chopper from Z too, and probably will pre-order Law as well since he doesn't look expensive on his own and his shipping should be cheap.
Shanks I'll probably try to pick after his release, need to see painted pictures first, but I think he'll be good.
Not sure about Roger, maybe once he hits the sales :P Don't really think he'll be sold out quickly.Shiki and Franky are passes for me - Franky is just too huge, I don't really have space for him, not to mention how much he's going to cost. And with Shiki I already mentioned it - he looks very nice, but I don't understand why would they make him at this point in time. A lot of people also say that he will look good with Garp ver.0 and Roger which I don't quite understand as well since he's not 'ver 0' ^^; He's '20 years later'…
-
^ He would look nice confronting the strong world crew POPs.
-
^but displaying him together with Garp and Roger would at least be some sort of possible setting. Otherwise it's fairly difficult to fit him into a certain group of figures. Villains maybe?
Edit: There we go. Good one, Lou.
-
Shiki woulda been fine if he was released with the SW crew/instead of Ace and Shanks. Problem for me is when he's released its two and a half years later. Shoulda been Z and Ain instead.
-
^ He would look nice confronting the strong world crew POPs.
I wasn't saying anything about him not being displayable with anybody else? ^^; I just noted about Garp and Roger. Sure SW crew makes sence. But it's too late now.
-
Roger looks short, fat and stocky. Ugh :\ . Sadie looks ok, same exagerations as the original drawing. Law looks ok, but its just a face with a zipped up overcoat…how could anyone possibly ruin that sculpt eh? Franky looks shiny like he should, but theres something wrong with the way his shirt is hanging like a drape. Hes abbs and pecs being so flat and wide are not helping that either i guess. That de-aged Chopper lol...he is cute as always of course and this time people at least wont complain about the size of the box and shipping :P Probably the smallest POP ever made! :D Califa is ok i guess, but certainly not a figure i would buy. Robin's Z face is not convincing at all, lets see it painted later on. Shiki looks insane!Really really great! Best one so far for me.
-
OMG I WAS RIGHT!!!!
they did Roger on top of that how awesome!
i'm looking forward getting Robin Z, shanks and Roger (oh and Franky of course)
well done MH!
-
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Some P.O.P dont even make sense… why a shiki now???
Law looks borring as hell.... old POP much better.
Roger is excellet to get... but i dunno if i like his pose....
Kalifa.... alot of meh... will prob get her since i need more POP girls... and SADI... YES PLEASE... D
And Franky shipping will destroy alot of us. That´s for sure.
-
Ok .. I know I didn't want to buy POPs anymore .. but it seems that I've to break my newly created rule. O__O I'll probably need Law, I hope they don't mess up his face like they did with his first release … and that Shanks is tempting too. Furthermore .. that Califa and Sadie look great! :D However .. I think I'll not preorder them. I'll simply wait for them to pop up at Manda. ^^ Seems to be the cheapest option with POPs nowadays.
-
for me califa and sadi are nice additions, but won't buy them, i don't think they're worth characters to spend so much. roger and shanks look nice but they're a bit late, while shiki would be cool to get as i haven't bought the banpresto version. law don't care about him. i really like franky but fear he's gonna cost some 150+ euros and that's really impossibile for me to pay.
anyway they clearly chose good selling chars like califa sadi and law. from an "importance" point of view they should have made magellan and kaku for example, but i see they wouldn't sell enough.
-
do you think guys Franky will be sold out quickly? with his price + shipping i think he will be available for a while xD
-
Well, wow! This random variety is pretty welcome for me, especially if they can keep up this kind of pace with the amount of characters they're making. :P Holy shit at Sadie's torso though.
-
Conclusion of this event: We can never get everyone happy, there's always something. Jeez…

I agree. But that mostly applies to the POPs that can't sell or have huge stock, like the admirals, Rayleigh etc. I don't know if the likes of Shanks (at least this one), Law or Roger will even fall into this category, since they're popular enough.
-

Haha what? Seems like the vast majority of comments are positive, dude.

Does MegaHouse ever hold back any news/reveals for later in the show, or is this definitely it?
My thoughts:
SA Franky–I don't like it. I feel like he looks really, really bad. His arms needing their own supports is disappointing, and his shirt looks TERRIBLE. I really hope this gets tweaked before production, because it simply doesn't look right now.
Shiki--AMAZING!! This is definitely a grail for me that I never, ever expected. I'm not sold on the base until I see it painted, though. Not sure this is going to be a hit at retail.
Roger--I didn't like him until I saw better photos of him up-close with his crazy smile. Pose seems sort of odd to me, but I'm looking forward to the painted photos.
Califa--I really would have preferred a more neutral pose (or Kaku). I think this is just going to look really weird on the shelf next to Lucci 1.5.
Sadie--Crazy choice for a POP before Magellan or Hannyabal. A Limited unique character? MegaHouse must not have high hopes for this.
SA Law--I'm happy with my original Law. Not sure I need this.
Z Nico Robin--Surprised to see her before Luffy or Zoro! Looks great, and definitely the right costume choice for her.
Z Chopper--Looks far superior to other companies' takes on this. He'll be cheap, too, so he's a definite buy.
Disappointed in no Buggy, Coby, or Magellan. How far out will these 8 figures take us? Likely June 2013?
-
Hmm, what determine how popular a POP figure is? the pose, how well the final product will be or just the character itself?
such as Rayleigh POP is quite well sculpt, but it is nothing compare to Law POP. Blackbeard POP look "normal only" to me but it turn out to be quite a big hit:wassat: -
Well, I agree on Law having a pretty boring pose - but remember he will have additional arms probably ending up in smt like that:

I agree with him not looking great though I'll still get him. Though id like to think that he won't have arm supports! Surely they would use the same joints that are on the SW franky's shoulders which can click pose into place. Seems stupid that they would just flop down if there was no support so I'm hoping its just a coloured pro to without the proper joints maybe?
-
I don't like Law as a character at all, but I think SA POP looks way better than his first one who looked like he had dystrophy.
And Califa looks beautiful :wub: Simple, elegant and sexy.
-
her sculpture is nice but i really don't understand the point in making her.
-
We need more female characters, that is why.
Boob jokes aside, we really do. We get a lot girls in the mini sets, but just a few in bigger scaled figures. They can't get away with making more versions of Nami, Robin and Hancock.
Alvida and Hina next, please~ -
her sculpture is nice but i really don't understand the point in making her.
I suppose that because they released Lucci 1.5, they put the excuse to make the only CP9 female first (if they continue with the CP9). She looks like an Ajiken figure. The only one he made with a dynamic pose if we don't count Robin SA.
PS: But who cares, the more female characters, the better. A Marguerite or a Keimi one will be nice.
-
seriously.. SADI and CALIFA?! over Buggy, Magellan, Sengoku?! :|
-
seriously.. SADI and CALIFA?! over Buggy, Magellan, Sengoku?! :|
Welcome to last year when we were getting SW Ace/Shanks, Benn Beckman, Vista, Killer etc over these.
but Sadi, if popular (yeah, I can see her selling more than Shiki and Roger combined.) can give them the excuse to get out Magellan, Hannybal and Domino in future releases.
-
Wow¡¡ i Really like these new adds to de PoP Line, you guys must be proud of MH :D:D. I really like Califa and NW Law, i think im gonna try to take them, since i dont really collect the PoP im triying to get only my beloved Characters :P.
-
I personally don't see anything wrong in that. None of them I'd be willing to spend my already limited budget on, but again, nice to view from a distance.
-

Oh I don't worry about that. Even old POPs like the Strawhats Neo are very cheap nowadays. And with Megahouses love to re-release figures months after the first release I'm at ease. I mean you can get Shirahoshi for like 6000yen and even the SA Strawhats are cheaper than their retail price. ^^ Get Enel or Kuma for 6000yen each. Even Law's first version was cheap some months after his release. No .. I don't worry at all. :D
-
POP Roger??!!
-
Califa is looking sweet there.
-
-
Franky Sailing Again POP: Pretty much expected him to turn out like this, will obviously get. His lower torso (where his upper body meets his lower body) looks really crappy like it's been stretched out or something. They need to fix that.
-
Trafalgar Law Sailing Again POP: It's Law in a long black fur coat, will obviously get.
-
Shanks Marine Ford Ver. POP: Thank You MH! Shanks has been in dire need of an updated POP
-
Shiki POP: Looks interesting, who wants to bet this will be in the "Neo Maximum" line? lol
-
Gol D Roger POP: Hands down a must get at all costs. It's Roger, it's an automatic buy.
-
Califa POP: Sexy Bitch, will probably get if the final paint is good.
-
Sadie POP: Meh, I don't know why I feel so meh on her, but meh. I'd like it if they had a Magellan and Hannybal to go with her.
-
Nico Robin Film Z POP: Absolute must get, hands down, no questions asked.
-
Chopper Film Z POP: I don't care.
Would've liked to have seen a Bikini Robin, Buggy and maybe a Water 7 Robin, and White shirt Zoro.
-
-
Roger is defenitely looking badass, I don't own any collectible but heh.
-
What I don't understand is why did they make that Law? I mean, he's wearing a coat because he's in a cold place, but we have already seen his ''normal'' time skip outfit in the Supernova poster.
BTW Shanks looks excellent. I'm glad I never got the Neo version.
-
woot moar figures for Shanks
-
- Shiki POP: Looks interesting, who wants to bet this will be in the "Neo Maximum" line? lol
According to the sign standing before him he is in the regular Strong Edition line.
For next time I hope for some Punk Hazard-POPs btw. Caesar, Monet, Vergo and Kinemon would all make great figures I think (also Post-TS-Smoker and -Tashigi).

Likely because we have yet to see that outfit in the manga itself. and it's an easy sculpt to do that requires very little effort. And considering it's Law. They can probably do another POP later again
-
I actually was excited about Law, but now I can't but stare at his unatural long neck…Am I the only one finding it odd?
edit: Oh got, didnt notice that picture before: http://hcd-1.imgbox.com/acqcaOCx.jpg?st=Bz0chMSg1Xv5sZdVmHB5iQ&e=1353875909
wtf is wrong here? Seems like Law started his training on becoming a contortionist…
-

Oh, that's good to know then. I might actually get him then seeing as he won't be 12k yen initial price that MH is trying to pull with their Neo Maximum cash grab BS
Thank god for that new Shanks, he's been in need of an updated look for some time. The young look of the Neo just wasn't doing it for me.
-
Law and Shanks closer pictures.
http://t.imgbox.com/abxNlbQo.jpg http://t.imgbox.com/acvhcyib.jpg
http://t.imgbox.com/acyRDTRf.jpg http://t.imgbox.com/acqcaOCx.jpgThanks for all the pictures, redon!! That Law's face looks much better than the original Law imho but I hate that he's just wearing a long coat >_<;;
Shanks looks immaculate. <3<3<3
And am I the only one that's worried about Califa leaning?
-
Califa leaning and Shiki's legs being unable to support him are worrying. (They can barely get Franky to stand without supports. Shiki will certainly need them.) although in Califa's case, it's not the first time I've seen a figure in that pose and they were fine… Very much doubt she'll stand without her base tho. Which is a shame since I don't use them.
edit: just went back and checked. Yup. Shiki's legs are on supports.
-
Hmmmm, well i'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do. I can only get 3 POP's next year and I now have a short list of 6 :wassat:
SA Perona
SA Franky
SA Law
NEO-DX Shanks
NEO-DX Shiryu
NEO-DX Teach 1.5I think Teach will get dropped as I already have the original and Franky is a must to complete my strawhats…....but what to do about the other 4.....I can only get 2.....
Kinda need Shanks & Shiryu to go with Beckman & Teach.....but then Perona and Law have overtime become 2 for my favourite characters!!! Damn it all!!
-
Well, I would wait until the prices are revealed on Law and Shanks. Out of all you listed, Shiryu will probably hit the bargain bin, so I'll skip him and try to get him later.
Perona will get sold out, but she will probably get a rerelease later on.Out of the 6 you mention, I'll go with Shanks and SA Law.
Edit: Maybe you could try and establish a limited budget instead of a limited number, that way, if some POPs hit the bargain bin, you could fit two in only one slot. That's what I did with my partner. I also started to sell some not so wanted figures to pay for others, with the previous agreement that the money earned from figures goes to figures. That way, you could try and sell your BB for the new one, or your Shanks for the new one (assuming you don't want them anymore…)
-
Id go with shanks and law
-
am I the only one who thinks Franky's Time Skip pop looks AWFUL? his shirt is so baggy it resembles something more like a curtain or a cape… I just... it really turns me off.
It's all stretched out because of how he has to fit it around his shoulders. ;p
