Will take some pics later but got my GLC Chopper yesterday. Considering the quality of the other GL figures I got it's about damn time I got one that was of decent quality. Kinda tempted to pick up the adult Nami when she appears since it doesn't look like we'll ever get a Robin to go with.

Got GLM Franky, Brook, Chopper as well as GLL Robin and Olvia/Olivia?
My two favourite pieces are Franky and Robin:
Grandline Men Volume 13 Franky… really impressed by the job Banpresto did here. He's excellent! Nice and large with a great paint job. He comes with two alternate heads, one with his long hairstyle, sunglasses and headphones with a big toothy smile and then another head with his shaved buzzcut and a sneer. He looks great either way, but I prefer the long hair. (Just more reminiscent of original Franky). Anyway, very good job by Banpresto here. He's sturdy and pretty top heavy because of the solid mass of PVC he is (what with his torso, large shoulders, and arms.) Fortunately, the base supports him very well and he won't be prone to falling. For an 800-1000 yen prize figure this is downright excellent.

Banpresto did a really good job on the Robin here. Very nice. the sculpt is clean, the paint is good and her overall presence is great. The way she stands upright with a slight swagger and how it looks like there's a breeze flowing through her hair, excellent! I was very taken aback with this one, great for a small prize dx figure indeed!
Nico Olvia is alright, not much to say about her.[hide]
[/hide]
Here Banpresto does something right again by giving us a wonderful Brook DX figure. And look! He comes with his guitar! Something Megahouse blatantly didn't include with their higher end Portrait of Pirates figure… Still a wonderful size, great sculpt and spot on paint makes this a solid addition to my prize figure collection.
This set also includes an alternate costume chopper with a "Crimin" T shirt. This figure is identical to his Volume 12 counterpart.[hide]

And with that, the crew is complete in their GLM timeskip forms
I also got in POP Garp 0 as well, off Mandarake for 10k yen.

Congrats on Garp Raithos. I still haven't unboxed mine yet. I guess with EMS shipping he probably set you back about 14/15k in total, which is the same as I payed for mine through Hiromi, so I can't really complain. I've noticed he's started to creep back up on 15k on Manda now and there aren't as many as there were on YAJ.
Don't know when/if I'll get around to unboxing mine. Maybe if I decide to pickup Roger/WB 0 next year.

Thanks Kanji!
Nope, he didn't set me back 14, more like 11,980. I used Reg SAL, didn't feel like EMS as I wasn't in a rush for him.
Will keep him MISB and look for another one at 10 (hopefully) -

Because i was so skint, it prompted me to pursue my Payment Protection Insurance claim with HSBC 8 weeks ago. My claim was upheld and I've just received £450!! (64,000 yen)
That'll get me a few POPs :D Shame I didn't go for that 90K Lawson Edition DX Ace when I had the chance last week
-
Congrats Raithos¡¡ Finally you completed the crew :D. Now im getting the WCF Crew, only Nami left wich is coming in the next weeks and finally i will be able to display all of them with my thousand Sunny model Kit :D:D.

@Al!naJames:
I finally got second box of Z Styling today. Has been sent out by AmiAmi in the end of December. I'm going batshit crazy with this post traffic block we have going on here (there's no official news on it, the post it making it look like nothing's happening) - most of SAL parcels from Dec to February (I guess March too? Though ones from Feb and March seem to be getting through quicker) are late and like, some arrive few weeks late (usually SAL takes exact 21 days to get here from Japan or USA), some arrive few months (!!!) late like 4 months late.
At first I was thinking there's a slowdown going on due to New Year holidays but it's almost April?.. I guess if nothing changes in a couple of weeks time I'm going to attack central HQ of our post company with claims in person.Anyhow. Back to figures. They are lovely. Simple but lovely, nice quality and all, they look wider than usual stylings due to all weapons.
I was getting kind of depressed reading all of recent 'the merchandise hype is dying' posts here, I personally feel like I enjoy this hobby as much as I did when I started it about 6 years back and when reading your comments on how dull it's been getting I'm starting to get nervous that I might fall under this spleen mood soon too and I really wouldn't want that to happen :( But these figures kinda cheered me up today (maybe it's just becaue I finally got them after all the waiting LOL) and even made me move around my Nami shelf a bit. Good times.
http://distilleryimage9.instagram.com/aa62f648973311e2a73822000aaa08a0_7.jpgIn case anybody still needs them, I have a spare Zoro, Sanji and Nami for $13 each.
I'm waiting for the shops to put up Z Stylings with Robin wearing the blue jumper. The Stylings are really nice cheap figures.
I'm waiting as well for Perona SA. The European distribution changed her date to April. And I'm saving for Franky SA-Maximum.
Rai, nice haul. Congrats for the Garp 0, and GLL Robin. We need to talk more about manga chapters in MFC. xD

Mhm Mfc People cussed me out when I suggested EMS and just told me to SAL it so I said okay, lol.
Good jon on the 64k yen that's a healthy little upgrade indeed!Congrats Raithos¡¡ Finally you completed the crew :D. Now im getting the WCF Crew, only Nami left wich is coming in the next weeks and finally i will be able to display all of them with my thousand Sunny model Kit :D:D.
Thank you Abaddon! Oh yes it's finally complete, just need Franky and then I can do the complete GLM x PoP run, I also need to still get the crew in WCF form… take some pics when you have the complete set with Sunny!

I am new to the forum..avid Op fan..: D
I am not into collective for manga and anime..but i really wanna collect starhat figure for new world..so been searcgin so many jp based and outside web…but most of the figuarts zero figures are sold out T_T
Any recommend to get new world figures for SH crew and cheap if possible: Dor shall i buy One Piece Straw Hat Pirates New World Ver Chozoukei Damashii as a set which is kinda cheaper?
-
Unfortunately it's not easy to get an entire crew set for cheap. There's always one or two that are difficult to get. Cheapest is gonna be the Chozoukei Damashii ones yes. But you lose the quality. Figuarts are getting regular re-releases so might be able to get some of them. Tho I think they keep selling out. Noticed Robin was recently re-released for the 3rd or 4th time and she's out of stock. Grand Line you can easily get her but its more difficult to get Zoro and Sanji. WCF is probably difficult to get all of them. POPs are expensive so may not be the cheap option.
-
Hmm so shall i not go for new world set…?it looks ok for me dont knw T_T
-
actually, for Figuarts zero, WCF, POP or even MBH can still get it. As long as u love them why not collecting? i m believe u will enjoy having a set displaying in ur cabinet^^
-
The thing is I can't find any figuarts figures available on one site…...most are out of stock ....and some are available in diff stores which will cost more with different shillings
-
The best place to get some Figuart Zeros would be mandarake, http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/, search in Japanese using google translate or whatever for the best results. SA Franky is the most expensive one and it seems SA Zoro is alittle more expensive than the rest. Shouldn't be too hard to get the crew, Franky is the only problem one.

Yh I got around 5 figures on that site …..only thing is shall I buy those for now ...and save money? Since buying from different sites gnna cost me extra on shipping....and this would be my first buy T_T
-
If you are after scaled figures, you won't save on shipping if you buy them all in one go because they will get over weight/size limit and you'll be foreced to pay for a more expensive shipping methood. If you wish to buy Figuarts Zero the best option will be to get 3-4 together.
-
@maggie hey are you able to do a quick review on the IK marineford Ace and also comparing the normal ver with the metalic ver? (anyone who owes the IK Ace is welcome to chip in their comments as well :) ) Thanks in advance!

Hrm, I never did a review, and I only own the normal version, while I believe ElisabethHeart owns the metallic version. I remember talking with her about it and we didn't see too much difference. I'm rather busy currently due to the holiday weekend but I hope you find my photos useful, I have an album of over 30 shots of the figure here: https://picasaweb.google.com/103591386355716654617/IKAce
My overall impression is that the body sculpt is rough and interesting, but in the face it doesn't look like ace at all. With the tilt of his head you can't see his face if you display the figure front wise, so I don't really think you were meant to display him with his face showing much. I actually display mine from the back, and when I look at the pictures I'm more confident that he looks best that way with the twist of his body. Just my opinion! -

Too bad hatless!Law looks a little funky, but I might have to see if I snag the Luffy/Momo and Monet. I suddenly want to start collecting the keychains/charms again (I really shouldn't)

Hi guys, I'm mostly a lurker but have collected various One Piece figures here and there. I recently decided to start collecting Franky figures, and my main goal is to eventually find the Memories of Merry Franky.
That being said, in the mean time, I'm looking to get a New World model of Franky. The Sailing Away POP is out of my price range and sadly, so is Chogokin. I'm not too disappointed as I do rather like the Figuarts Zero version. I was going to save for him, but then I saw the Grandline Men Franky…
My question is basically, to people who have them or have seen them, which Franky is a better value for money? I've only seen Figuarts Zero and he is quite big, is the Grandline Men one smaller or comparable? From the photos I've seen, it seems the Grandline Franky has a nicer paint job as well, but I'm not too sure.
TLDR, which Franky looks nicer? And if anyone has them, would you be willing to post a side-by-side comparison? Thanks so much, and I hope I didn't post in the wrong area.

Grandline men Franky is AMAZING, Wholly recommend it. He's actually pretty large as well, although not as wide as the FAZ Franky, he's no slouch in size either.
It's also 10x cheaper than the Figuarts Zero version. Although I like the FAZ version too (that will be one of the only times you hear me say I like a FAZ piece) I must admit the FAZ is done well, but it's pretty expensive. If you're looking for an amazing piece with a nice price, definitely go for GLM Franky:[hide]

He's just a fantastic figure. I like the stitching on him, as opposed to the black paint on FA Zero, plus he's actually standing which was my only gripe with the FA Zero Franky. He looks stable enough to balance without the base, although I don't mind leaving him on it. I do like the faces on GLM Franky more as well… That being said, FA Zero Franky is MASSIVE, and it's so ridiculously silly that I laugh just looking at it.
I live near a store that sells One Piece toys, and FA Zero Franky is just $42, which isn't bad at all. I was looking on Amazon (yes, I know, I'm new at this whole figure-buying business) and GLM Franky is reasonably-priced at $24. I'd honestly be happy with either. But for the price, I'd be willing to just get GLM Franky.
I've seen POPs at San Diego Comic Con, and they look gorgeous. But I've always wondered why, are the materials just of better quality? Do they actually move, as opposed to Figuarts and GLMs? I actually like taking my figures out their boxes (the HORROR!!!) so any poseability is great; that's why I initially wanted Chogokin and Sailing Away before I saw their cost and started weeping.
Again, thanks for the suggestion! I'm really leaning towards GLM now, the price range isn't bad and the details are very nice as well. I'm also interested in the silly-looking Film Zero Franky's, that Cherry Blossom model is just ridiculous. And of course, I see Film Zero POP Battle Franky's preorder cost and slam my head on the table. Do these prices ever go down after the initial release, or will they just cost me this much forever?
-
You mean the FAZ Battle Franky Z? Who knows really. The animals done last year never went down in price so one can assume that this one won't. Although it may also depend on how many people buy the three set for Luffy or Chopper who don't want Franky.
-
Ah, he's a Figuart? My mistake, thanks for the clarification. I can only hope he'll go down in price.

Gaimon is getting an exclusive shirt before Nami or Robin have. GAIMON.
Nothing really there that I'd be wanting. Maybe the one with full crew. Just sick of the 'I wanna be king of the pirates!' stuck on every damn shirt. I want them to re-release the Chopper forms one in a better colour still.
