We badly needed new figures of New World Nami, Usopp, Franky, Brook and Sanji anyway–the original FAZ New World figures of them were awful.

So the new mild POPs have different bases and additional face plates???? I hate Megahouse right now…..
So here we are again.... Updating old POPs so we have to decide wether buy them again or not... I new that R meant something more than just a mere reprint...

Yeah, saw those earlier…........tbh it only looked like Robin had a smiling face this time, but it could just be alternate face plates.
Another easy pass for me i'm afraid….....at this point I think I'm just gonna be waiting 6 months until Sabo gets a release!
I wonder if we'll see anything at Miyazawa Model Exhibition next week!

Oda-sensei dragged out the reveal of Sabo for so long, at this rate it may be another 6 months before the anime confirms who the "mysterious man" even is! LOL.
-
I looked at the pictures and it seems there are no such thing as new face plates, only new bases. I can live with that. False alarm.

Still prefer grandline children though

Why is it that the Bandai series seem to get so much hate? Are they that bad? From what I've seen, some seem to be very well sculpted/painted, perhaps not as much as POP or Grandline Men, but there are several Figuarts characters we don't have in any other format. (Buggy and Caesar come to mind) My dream collection involves a smorgashborg of POP, GLM, FAZ, and some Styling figures…of course I have none of them at all currently, but a man should never stop dreaming.

For simple reason, because the quality of Figuarts Zero is inconsistent.
The sculpts are excellent but the final material and painting quality are worse than GLM series (same scale).Buy one figure from each of the FZ, GLM, POP, Styling line and compare them. Immediately you would know the differences.
For value of money, I'd choose Banpresto Grandline and Scultures lines. FZ is not so cheap yet the quality sometimes is on par with Styling.POP is too expensive IMHO for the inconsistent sculpt quality and the mid-tier painting (a level below Alter, GSC) but several POP sculpts especially from Ishiyama-san (Ace and that Law) worth the price tag.

Yeah, I thought like that once. I wanted figures of some of the characters we didn't have POP's for yet, so I invested in FAZ Sentomaru, Jinbei New World Ver. & Caesar Clown along with Styling Vergo, Monet and Kid/Killer/Hawkins Alliance. I also got Smoker Ichiban Kuji….........but to be honest I kinda regret doing it..........as a display they don't really mesh well together and I was pretty disappointed by the quality considering how much I had spent in total on them all.
POP is the only OP line I'll ever invest in again, but so far there aren't anymore figures that I want. Not until Megahobby at least.............
ONLY 25 DAYS TO GO!
-
Good news! Brook will have P.O.P mild version
-
That's the best news this whole year!! Thank you Megahouse!!
Now, if Banpresto could follow suit with the GLC line…
Edit: They removed the scar from Luffy's 2nd face. Maybe they'lll get Sanji's eyebrowns rigt this time

You didn't like the FAZ Caesar, kanji? I really like that one. I feel like he was one of Bandai's best last year.
-
Since I missed out on POP Milds this is great news for me. I wanted to focus on milds in 2015 and this is perfect. Also great news about getting a POP Mild Brook too.
-
Maybe it's me but Robin MILD seems different to me. :/ Not in a bad way, of course.
-
I wouldn't mind picking up another set of the MILDS, these are what got me into POPs in the first place, very well made all of them. Brook is a nice surprise.
-

[…] Brook is a nice surprise.
Finally! Now I'll have all of the Straw Hats in figure form!
-

Oh, she's absolutely different. They completely repainted her.
-
Well as great as it is that MH are redoing these figures….......as someone who paid 7,000 yen for Nami and 5,000 yen for Nojiko about 2 years ago along with my 20,000 yen Bellemere, it's a bit irritating to say the least................but I guess with all OP figures it's only a matter of time before they get re-released or superseded.......the franchise is that big now!
At least it's another month where I can keep my money in my wallet!!
-
The new Robin looks more accurate than the first one,I'm tempted to get her now…
-
@roronoa-zoro:

More accurate to what though?.. She's as white-skinned as it can be in both manga and time-skipped anime, and so she is in her SW, Z and 2Y POPs.
I really don't know where they are getting dark skin from. I'd love more characters with dark skin tones but Robin isn't one. It looks as weird as if they'd give her brown hair instead of black. -

I suspect MegaHouse won't reissue Nojiko. They'll probably put Brook in her place.

Would you wait 2 years (or 3 years even) to get them though? I don't mind paying more for something that I want if I want it faster.
-
Awesome! I'm glad a POP Mild Brook is being made!

-
It was only dark on the anime. The manga had her white, so it's accurate to one, but inaccurate to the other. More considering all the other POPs have her white toned too.
-
Brown skin and blue eyes. I'm fine with the latter even if it's incorrect. But this just looks like one of those repaints where they've picked a random colour much like the Chopperman ones. Easy skip even tho I love getting Robin Merch.
-
Finally!!!
I was asking for a reissue of the MILD serie for years and finally they're doing it! Sadly it isn't my best financial time so I won't be able to preorder them all, I'll take only Sanji from the first set because I already have Luffy and I'm waiting for 1up sending Robin Dereshi (let's hope…).Robin looks quite wrong, that's a shame they won't follow manga colours, but they target for the anime audience which I think is bigger.
Does anyone know when preorders will be up? -

So this version is more accurate. -
That pic of robin is how I feel about that Law pre-order happening Friday. I don't start my new job till Monday, and won't get paid till the next Friday. Hopefully I can find him on the second hand market.
-
They used a completely different skin one on her though. So the new POP's one is as inaccurate as "off-white" is when compared to anime.

The limited Law 2.5 figure should have a pre-order window of several weeks, shouldn't he? I'm sure Louis will have him past next Friday.

@Al!naJames:

Nope not at all,it is the white skin who's off,when she was young she lived a poor life and spent hours under the sun which is explaining the tan skin,it's later that she became white by staying in the dark amd taking care of herself.
-
Not the Robin's eye color argument again TT__TT And now her skin color.
For some reason the skin colors they use in the anime, when they try to match it for figures unless it's pretty white-looking, it never seems to hit the mark. Most of the darker skinned characters look gray and ashen in figure form.. Looking over at the POPs that I have, the Film Z Kuzan POP and the sCultures Crocodile are the only ones that seem on-par. Shiryuu I think its fine too, but he's weird for a few reasons to begin with, his skin color is not so off-base that it doesn't look right IF it's really off at all. So for the rest of them they either look white-washed, peachy pink, or gray instead of their proper skin colors :/
And the Law 2.5 pre-orders open Friday?? Seriously O_O Me gusta.

lol That's the funniest thing I read all that. I'm amused that you find a reason why the anime crew decided to change her skin tone. As for me, she is as inaccurate as it can be. Here's a color spread done by Oda, where you can see her white skinned. He is the one I'll go to when I want accuracy. It helps I haven't what a single episode of the anime.
Also, this is the color spread the new FAZ Children is based about, except they changed all the costums.
-
Why not show Chopper as a young reindeer lol but I guess we have no clue what his age is?
-
So…except Robin, the colours o Luffy and Sanji are the same of the previous releases?
-

We do know his age.

This is really ridicules. Her life wasn't "poor" in terms of money and she spent her days reading books, not working in the fields. I don't remember Ohara being a very sunny place too.
Either way like I said it's a totally different skin tone they're using, which is still not anywhere close to what it was in the anime. -
One can only hope they will be releasing more as the year goes on. Ive wanted these POP Milds for ages and now I decided to focus 2015 on getting them, they then decide to re release them? Must be written in the stars :P
I wonder if Brook will be the only new addition too.
-
I'm fine with only Brook. I was so worried that Megahouse had stopped releasing pre Dresrossa figures (the dream poll ones doesn't count) that having Brook announced has given me some hope to see Buggy, Magellan or Ivankov sometime in the future.
As for more children, I rather see them on GLC form than in POP. They are a lot better IMHO.
I don't know if you guys heard of the new Prize Fair announces, but here are them:
- MSP of Shanks
- Whitebeard GLM Special
- DRAMATIC SHOWCASE vol. 4 Luffy and Shanks
-
Whitebeard GLM?
Honestly even as a special, I don't think they can do him justice size wise.

Either way like I said it's a totally different skin tone they're using, which is still not anywhere close to what it was in the anime.She was a domestic in her uncle house and didn't ate a lot because of her uncles wife or did she enjoyed having beautiful dress and umbrellas, she only reads books cause that is all she can do and outside most of the time, but whatever you say, you have your opinion and i have mine, like it or not, accurate or not it ain't my problem after all.

- DRAMATIC SHOWCASE vol. 4 Luffy and Shanks
Interesting. So volume 4 is just 2 figures… or will they find a way to fit in another screaming Luffy (j/k) :)

for the hell i care, they decided to make her with this skin tone deal with it (same with blue eyes story).

probably the famous moment when luffy put the hat on luffy's head i guess?
-
@roronoa-zoro:

Someone is in a bad mood….
I don't actually need to deal with it, I already own her white skinned. I was just saying that to me the first one was the most accurate, because I compare it to the manga, which is what I follow. If you find it more accurate, because you follow the anime, good for you.
I just find it amusing that you invented a story to justify the random change in her skin tone, because that's what you did after all.
-
Huh, maybe there could be a new doujin thread? Doujin hasn't been my main hobby for some years now, but I occasionally buy some once in awhile. Having a place to talk about them/buying tips/other sites would be great!
Hmmmm, how should we start it? In here or in the old one? I'm kinda leaning towards the collectables category so that it'll be open-series, since I'm pretty sure some of us like to buy doujins from various other series altogether.
-
I'm fine with either! If there's a sudden influx in OP doujin users/interest, someone can always start a thread here.
-
And more prototypes…. It's impossible they release all this, really....
Im more interested in the weathered polyglyph.. if only it will be on sale
-
I've preordered Sanji MILD on Big In Japan, I don't know if I should take even Luffy. I'll for sure have to take him in future, but my fear is to see other 3 MILDs on preorder on the next month. I have to take them all but Luffy and Robin have less priority, do you think they could even go on bargain? How have they done 'till now as preorders on the other sites?
