Don't worry too much 2D3Y ;)
Megahouse schedule don't make any sense anyway !
There is still so many Dofla officers that even if the next Megahouse event is full of them, it will not be enought…
Just like we had Lucci Mas, Kalifa and Kaku out of nowhere, i have faith, we'll see someday a Magellan/Hanyaabal or Sabo/Dragon/Ivankov.

@Al!naJames:
It's by far not the worst expo ever but not the best either.
I really love Doflamingo's crew, but I'd pretty much have ANY of the rest of them over Sugar, Violet and Lao G… (though I'm planning to get all 3) Lao G is the most irrelevant character they ever picked... I don't think I saw single fanart made of him and he had like total of 2 lines in the series... Really wish it was Baby-5, Gladius and Diamante instead :ГVery happy that we're getting Fujitora sooner than later.
I hate Rebecca but her MILD's very cute.
That Nami I want on my desk NOW.
Overall I'm getting 5 out of 8 new models on pre-order basis which is good result, I think. I'm happy they're focusing on new characters mostly because fresh news is always good in my book. Of course the usual weirdness by Megahouse… but it was to be expected. Really crazy there's no Kinemon still now that they did Momonosuke.
But oh wellllllll~
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Uhh, no I'm not? I was sure Dream Poll was won by Nami and Law, not Nami and Ace, was it? I don't see Dream Poll signs anywhere near them anyway, maybe it's just their regular dose of Nami regardless of anything...
I understand you may be saying you want new characters not from Dressrosa, but what you're saying is that you need any non-Dressrosa characters all in all and those Nami and Ace are not Dressrosa in any way @_@ I don't get why you say they don't count…Ace was 3rd, that's why they made him over Law that was first (to not compromize the sells of their ver. 2, but he is comming). And Nami is not even cannon, so obviously she is not Dressrossa. But I guess you're right. I meant One New Non-Dressrossa character.

Dressrosa is very vast in terms of characters so they are letting their sculptors run wild. Once there will be a more timid arc they might to back in time... Not to mention that Buggy, Ivankov and of course Dragon will show up further down the road in manga many times, I'm sure of it, and will get their time to shine.
While Megahouse's weird picks may not be pleasant all the time, they sure let happy surprises happen. Remember when they did Shiliew? XD I'm still over the moon about that personally : PWe just have to have patience!

Well, my patience is running short…. I have no faith we will see them now. I really don't, sorry. Lao G is a prove to that. They will make any future named character before going back. ANY. You might say future arc might have less characters, but they might be enough to just don't need to go back. They can allways fill the gaps in roster with more Aces, Laws, Namis and Choppers (who surprisingly was missing). From now on, instead of buying everything to support them, I'll just buy those I feel are relevant. Out of this bunch, only Fujitora is.

That's the best option anyway. While I can see where completionists are coming from, it's just too damn expensive and tiresome to buy all of the OP characters released as POPs. Just look at some of the Chopperman armies people own due to MH producing them. Buying virtually the same product over and over again is… not something I'd do, to say the least.
Another thing is the arbitrary choices they make. You cannot predict what characters are going to be shown because there's no system to work with. You never know whether a certain line will be completed and hoping it will, you buy figures you don't even like, much less need. It's really difficult to be a collector of POPs. -
The problem with MegaHouse is that the company did not complete the Z set. And now is showing the scenario that they'll (possibly) bring most of the Donquixote Family.
But how can we trust them, since they did no complete the Z set?
Lao G was, by far, the worst choice to begin the Donquixote Family set.

But we recently got Kaku, Kalifa, Sadi-chan… I don't know why you think they can't go back :blink:

Well, they did beging it with 3 figures, not 1 :P
And arguably Doflamingo was the first one in that "line" :PThere's just no way they will make ALL of Donquixote pirates though. There's too many.

Yeah, we have Sugar indeed. But Violet is not of the Family anymore. She is a piece regarding more the Riku Family than the Donquixote Family.
I think that Trébol and Sugar would be better choices to make the people buy. :P
-
I don't own any pop ace so I am pleasantly surprise to see Ace, which looks great! Besides him, most prob gonna po nami (so pretty omg!) and Rebecca child (awwww toooooo cute to pass although irrelevant lol). Will pass the rest.. Not a fan of violet, fujitora's face looks long/squarish to me, toy solider nooooo feels like a toy instead of figure :/ sugar is cute but no, doesn't like her. Lao g is cool but doesn't like him either. Which is good in a way because my wallet is not gonna be happy if there are too many I want lol
-
Better picture of Fujitora & Viola:[hide]
[/hide]
I will likely pickup everything from this expo with the exception of child Rebecca, Soldier-san and Nami Mugiwara Ver.2Fujitora and Viola will be day one purchases, Sugar & Lao G I'll try and pickup in a bargain sale and Ace depends on how he is sold and how fast he sells…...might be wise getting him on day one if he proves popular!
-
Fujitora's hands look really small…
also i really wonder what they're even going to do with the new Law. an even more fanservicey one than the colosseum version?
-
The event was not as exciting as others but there a few wanna-buy-it-right-now like Viola (maybe the boobs are like that in the initial prototype) and kid Rebecca, because of the goddamn cuteness and I preordered the grown up version. Soldier-san will probably come up if he comes with kid Rebecca. Fujitora may be a "one day I'd like to get it". Looks cool! Sugar as well. Lao G is so random that I don't know. xD And Nami Strawhat Version is so damn hot.
Ace is meh but I'm surprised people aside from Maggie want him. xD
-
I've been absent from here and look at all the stuff D:
For me this Megahobby was a bit meh for me…But i'll get that Soldier san, Ace,Nami luffy V2 (because this one is so full of fun)
The rest is utterly ugly or ridiculous or uninteresting...It's official Megahouse is at 100% dressrosa arc.
They will never finish the Z edition line, or finally give to some old characters POP treatment finally... -
Well waking up I didn't expect so much anger on here. Now lets see the PoP announcements…...... ah, that's why. Since I am so behind on POPs, this doesn't bother me too much, can just get ones Im missing.
As for the announcements:
Rebecca - Might still get her, will wait until this arc is finished though, I want to see if she actually does something.
Bellamy - Looks badass, but skipping for now.
Bartomelo - I like the sculpt and colour scheme, but passing. Not a priority.
Sugar - Makes sense, put her on the CB line. Might get if I have a slow month
Child Rebecca - Cute, but I want to see where they go with her in the manga (she needs to do something big soon).
Fujitora - Looks decent, most probably a pre-order for me. Interesting people talking about his face, I felt the same about Laws SA face being too thin but no one else seemed to see it.
Violet - Breasts are a bit ott, but doesn't surprise me.
Soldier - Would have preferred Kyros but this is good too.
Lao G - Is this guy some kind of in-joke I don't get? People keep mentioning him in the forums and now he gets a POP over other members of the family. Pass on this one.
Nami - What a waste! I wanted a better sculpt and they give me that, then put her in Luffys clothes. Guess Ill have to get the SA version, ugh!
Law V2 - Already have him in his PH outfit so cant get. (Even though the mrs laughed at him having the fake moustache)
Ace - Already have an Ace so skipping. -
Overall, I'm pretty lukewarm on MegaHobby EXPO. Here's my impressions:
Lao-G: I had to watch the videos Louis posted to even know who this was. Most bizarre choice ever by MegaHouse–even more stupid than Bellamy.
Child Rebecca: I haven't seen her yet in the anime, but I can't imagine anyone was crying for this.
Soldier: Do want.
Sugar: Unexpected. I don't mind cheap kid figures, and she adds to the Donquixote family, so I guess this is okay.
Viola: Awesome. And her boobs really are pretty huge in the anime. I have no problem with this.
Fujitora: Want the character–not entirely happy with the sculpt.
Ace 10th Anniversary: Beautiful. Will buy.
Nami Mugiwara Ver. #2: Nami in Luffy's clothes AGAIN?! I hate you MegaHouse.Do you have any photos of it? I've only seen the promo pics and i kinda want to see the final product before getting him.
I'll take some photos for you this weekend. He's a beautifully-sculpted figure, though the arms fall off so often it makes me a little nuts.
-
If you want an idea of how Lao G will look colored :
So handsome !
http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/14/94/26/82/lao_g_10.jpgUgly….
And Fujitora's face is weird too, he didn't look like he used to.
-
Wow so many new POPs! I'm kinda interested in the new Ace but that's it I guess. ^^''
On another note, I received my GLC Perona and Law today. :D They are so adorable! wohoooo~ Law is worth buying even with the missing scalpel.
[hide]posted some more pictures at my tumblr[/hide]
-
I had the smallest hope I'd get a Giraffe Kaku since they made a Leopard Lucci and a regular Kaku, but I guess it is back to dreaming of it.
-
Oh that's right. I guess maybe the MAS line is dead with Lucci and Chopper selling so poorly?
-
maby Its just some poorly tough out side project that only worked for a couple of characters, that MAS line.
-
It once again happened too late. Giving us a Lucci figure roughly 8 years after his introduction in the manga ain't gonna cut it.

I"m not sure that's the only problem otherwise the unstopable flow of DBZ figures since decades would not sell xD
-
The problem might be the price and shipping,also if the released it while the arc was still fresh it would have probably worked.
There is still Marco but he might follow the same road. -
So what do we have to look forward to now? When's the next major event MegaHouse might show something at? ;)
-

You can't really compare those two since most DBZ figures who are being constantly remade are those of the protagonists. Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, etc etc. While here we have Lucci who was a formidable foe and cool character in his respective arc. And that's where he stopped being relevant (for now at least).
@MaxGoof:So what do we have to look forward to now? When's the next major event MegaHouse might show something at? ;)
Kanji's new countdown should start soon I'm sure.

Summer Wonder Festival 2014 will be the next event. Confirmed for 27 July.
http://wf.kaiyodo.net/wf/57 DAYS TO GO!! LOL
Although I wouldn't get too excited….we all know WF doesn't offer any newness, only colour.
I expect if we are lucky we'll see Viola and Sugar painted, but that's it!
-
Is anybody here seriously thinking of getting Loa G, child Rebecca, sugar and toy soldier? They seem so incredibly pointless and dumb, who the hell would want that rubbish? There is seriously not another law coming is there? that's clearly a joke obviously.

It's quite funny though, when you think about it, Lao G might still become the character with the most screen time…..
Sugar is unconscious, child Rebecca was only shown in a flashback and Kyros is no longer a toy........
If Lao G gets a cool fight with Sabo for example, then I'm sure peoples perception will change!
About Law V.3.......it hasn't been confirmed yet.....but from what people have said, because Ver.2 was already in production, MH have decided to go for the 3rd place winner.....which was Ace......
I expect Ace has taken his place, and along with Nami make up the 2 Dream Item releases......but I could be wrong
-
wasnt there meant to be a luffy too though? or did that turn out to be a fake rumour?
-

Think they mistook Lao.G for Luffy. Somehow.

I like the Toy Soldier figure a lot. I'm looking forward to that one at least

Lao G? HAHAHAHAHAHA
I want that new Ace and Nami though, if just simply for the updated looks
Maybe the Viola…?
Maybe the kid Rebecca, maybe.
Maybe the soldier too, mayyyybe
Fujitora looks worthy of consideration
Sugar? Like… I guess, like these are characters based purely in Dressrosa, but meh. I thought there'd be... more? -
(Edit: phone somehow responded in my pocket and not sure how to delete the post)
Lao g may seem obscure but I guess it could be worse. Though, I am actually pretty excited about soldier San as well…
-

Toy soldier is a must have, i'm not sure yet for the children rebecca, her face is just weird, and i don't care of Dofla squad . Fujitora who is a deception in the manga/anime and his POP don't look good, especially the face.
-
Close up of ace :wub:
-
Close up of ace :wub:
Dat belly
I'm really happy they are making an Ace like this! -
Although I guess its to be expected. I'm really disappointed they are not finishing the film z line_._ I really would have liked an Usopp from it. Also another Nami in luffy's clothes is not interesting to me. (neighter was the first one for that Matter) I would have rather had grown up film z instead. Oh well I need to cut back on figures anyway. This just makes it easier.
-
You know, I wonder why no one as talented as the guy doing the above Ace was hired to sculpt one good-looking Luffy. It's clear as day that a lot of love and work went into Ace's prototype. Why can't the same happen to Luffy's figures?
-
Better quality for Kaminari and Rebecca Mild…
!
! -
^I'm pretty sure these two will be a 2-pack. Seems crazy to sell them separately.
-
Close up of ace :wub:
That Ace body is awsome but the face looks really different than his actual face…
Maybe colored, it will be different. -
I must say this WCF set looks awesome…
!
! -
Lovely closeup of Thunder Soldier and kid Rebecca. Thunder Soldier looks perfect, like a die-cast toy. I would like to see a figure of…
! …him as Kyros.
-
I actually love that sculpt of Mugiwara Nami. She looks playful and sexy in a way that is true to her character. Plus this version looks so much more dynamic than others that I have. Though I do love my expensive Ichiban Kuji version of her from Punk Hazard.
And FUJITORA! I'm not too surprised we are getting him but I'm thrilled to add him to my collection of One Piece swordsmen. :3 I like his character a lot and since I passed on most of the marine admirals, he's definitely at the top of my list.
I love the female figures and will most likely get Viola at some point in time. I'll probably end up paying an arm and a leg due to procrastination, but, meh whatever.
I….still don't care that much about Ace....I mean he is a great character in his own right but I'm kind of tired of seeing high quality figures of him. Would of rather had Sabo. The only reason I would get him is because I haven't bought an Ace figure since the very first POP version. And I don't mean the NEO, lol. I am curious about what the (3rd?) Law figure will look like. Not sure how many more versions of him they can come up with but you never know....
The Toy Soldier actually looks pretty good, though I'm not sure if I want to drop money just for him. He will be cute with child Rebecca.
Lao-G is actually kind of hilarious. I'm not going to have a ton of disposable income, but I may wait to see what he looks like in color before even considering pre-ordering him. Geriatric Super Hero FTW. :-P
Sugar looks like she'll be cute, but I'll probably pass on her. I'm not interested in her character either.
I must say this WCF set looks awesome…
! http://i58.tinypic.com/29zbl9i.jpg
! http://i62.tinypic.com/m7z8sm.jpgWhoa, that set is actually quite cute! I've always liked that color spread.
My must have list: Fujitora and Nami
Maybe: Viola
-
The more I look at the pictures the more weird I feel about this MH. I don't like how Megahouse is focusing on Dresrossa so much. I can almost guarantee now that all non Dresrossa/Future arcs characters will never be released. I wanted Magellan at least, but he might never be… Here are my thought:
Fujitora: He was my most wanted Dresrossa POP and here he is. I'll get him for sure. Now, to wait for the price and the month.
Ace: He looks really great. Ishiyama is such a great sculptor. I would have bought him without hesitation 2 years ago. Now it feels kinda late. He suffers the same fate as Marco MAS, I like the figure a lot, but I'm unsure I need him because I already own the previous one. If I can find a spot for them on my dreamed displayer I'll get them.
Nami Mugiwara ver. 2: She is sooooo pretty, and looks so full of life. I wish her clothes were cannon, so I could replace her crappy SA version with this one. I might still do that once I see her coloured. We might get another Luffy soon (please let the rumours be true), so I might replace both SA versions which will make the clothes a non issue.
I don't know who the sculptor is, but he has my full atention. I really hope they give him more figures in the future, hopefully cannon ones like Monet or Baby 5 (if they ever go back to them, which it doesn't look like they will….).
Toy Soldier: I like the character enough to get his POP. It looks good, and hopefully it will be dirty cheap.
Viola: This is Ajiken messing up again…. I think I just can't stand him anymore. MH should let him go ASAP. This could have been an awesome figure, but again we have the same lifeless expresion... I can only dream of how awesome she could have looked with a rose in her mouth (and a dressed that behaved like Oda intended too, instead of attaching to her enourmous boobs and belly as if made of spandex...). At least the pose, while awkward, is better than what his usual work... How I wish the person who did Mugiwara Nami 2 would have done her too...
Sugar: I know I would have liked a POP of her, so I'm not really disappointed here. I see how I feel once she is painted. Hopefully, like Soldier-san, she will be cheap.
Lao G: I don't know what MH was thinking. Kinemon should have been in his place. This can possibly be the first POP of a new character I can see myelf skipping. Bellamy (and Cavendish) was a close call, but Lao G? How can anyone want a figure of him? It kills me, but I think it's time to draw a line.
Becca mild: I don't really expected this, and I'm not even sure I want it. A GLC of her would have been more than enough for me to own. I'll probably pass unless I see her for 500-1000 yen or so.I was ready to be disappointed with this Expo. I knew 5 POPs were going to be released that I had low interest on, but I had hopes for ONE non Dresrossa POP to keep me going. I really hope this is not the end of past lines like Z-Edition (I want Usopp and Brook so much…), DX (Magellan please!!) and pre Dresrossa SA (Jinbei, Smoker, Tashigi and Kinemon need to happen...). If that's the case, I'll be a really sad collector...
@Al!naJames:
^I'm pretty sure these two will be a 2-pack. Seems crazy to sell them separately.
They have different classification on their cards. Toy Soldier is Sailing Again, while Becca is CB-EX, which would imply they are not sold as a bundle. But that could always change.
All the cards Ihave seen say they are schedules to be released on 2014. Does this mean all 8 POPs will be for Octoer-December?

Someone asked MegaHouse about the possibility of a reissue of POP Carue on the POP Blog, but the Google Translation of the response is pretty awful:
"There is also a hard part in production in various ways to Carew, resale difficult Item # 1 What.
(2nd is Jinbei Chinami. But please take care If you have)
I think it let me see the reaction of Robin of time, like to consider.
However, if you have a resale, higher certainly than Armored Frankie morale and gold lion, but I will still enjoy what everyone purchase.
Worries. "
Can anyone who understands a bit of Japanese figure out what this response is talking about? Is he saying that Carue and Jinbei reissues are both impossible or what? -

Can anyone who understands a bit of Japanese figure out what this response is talking about? Is he saying that Carue and Jinbei reissues are both impossible or what?They're saying it's unlikely they will ever be reissued because the sculpts are very unorthodox and production methods/standards have undergone a lot of revision since they were first issued all those years ago.
Simply put; they are a pain in the ass to manufacture and their quality just isn't up to par with MegaHouse's more recent products.
-
Thanks for the translation, Louis! That's a real bummer, though… I guess I'll stop waiting for MH to release a new Carue and Jinbei then...

The communicate says rereleasing old figures is hard to do Today. That doesn't mean new versions couldn't be done.
If Jinbei joins the crew in a future arc, he'll get a new POP almost for sure (unless he follows the same fate as Kinemon). Carue is almost impossible to see a new figure though, unless they revive the MAS line.
