345 million copies sold….........vs SNK's 45 mill...............go figure..............
One Piece has 73 volumes out though, and SnK has 15. If you do the math…
Argggh, Fujitora POP is out and it's EMS-only. As expected I guess. Still argh! >_<
I was hoping to combine a couple of big PVC figures into one EMS parcel this month, but the other 2 were moved onto December... sigh

He is indeed out! Was that shipping from amiami? I wonder what HLJ's shipping will be like….........
And I don't deny that for a series in it's infancy SNK has broken records…...but it still has a long way to go before it reaches OP level status.......

4425 yen for SAL parcel
5400 yen for EMS
My point wasn't to compare popularities, it was about SnK being very popular and only getting top-3 popular characters in figures for the most part so far.

The problem with SnK is that the license is not own by one single company, like One Piece. So all the companies work against each other and release the same characters over and over to try and outsell the others. Also, GSC, Koto, Pulchra, etc. are not interested in creating an ongoing line for any series. They only make few popular characters out of them and move on to the next hot thing.
Sentinel is the only one that's doing that with their Brave-ACT line, which already has the only scaled figures of Armin, Erwin, Hange and Titan Eren. I'm pretty sure if the sales support it, they will eventually do the rest of the cast. Just don't expect GSC, Koto or any other company to do it.

That's also a big reason why the merchandise depreciates in value so damn fast! The market is too oversaturated with options. Kodansha should have exercised a little bit of restraint and not whored the license to so many different manufacturers all at once.
There's also the Medicom RAH line and Max Factory Figma, but those are action figures, not fixed pose scupts.
That Kidd scultures reminds me of Doffy. Looking forward to seeing them painted.
… can someone please explain this?

Dunno but I really want that Sanji/Zoro swing xD.
How long until MegaHobby Expo? paces back and forth

going to have a good night sleep and wake up with great anticipation!
going to have a good night sleep and wake up with great anticipation!
It'll be 1AM here when it starts….so I imagine I'll probably wake up about 2/3AM and log on to see what's going down!!
For me one of the most exciting thing in collecting figures is to discover which new characters will get a figure, especially with POP that is a really large line.
Thus Megahobby is the event I wait for the most (I hope to have used a correct english form ) and I want to try and put my bet on who will get a POP. In some italian forums we used to call it "TotoPOP".
So, here I go:
Last year they showed 6 new prototypes, so I went with 6 names. I think they'll go on with Dressrosa even though I'd prefer to see Z line finished (just because I'm not getting them and I could buy some old figures), but if I could choose some characters to see as POP those would be Monet, Apoo, Buggy, Nico Olvia, Foxy and many more.

Is it tonight really? This and the Star Wars teaser are making me to take a long ride in the hype train.

So, here I go:
- Sabo SA, because I like easy wins;
- Kinemon SA, it has to go with Momonosuke;
- Corazon SA, too much hype for him to leave it out;
- Law CB-EX, as for Corazon;
- Koala, it seems to have had a big impact on audience and except for Baby 5 I don't know which girl they would do (even if there's plenty of them);
- Vergo, easy to do and still relevant;

Spot on my man!! I'm almost 100% with you, except with the recently announced CB-R series, I'm expecting we'll see the new Zoro & Nami along with perhaps Brook replacing Nojiko…...I also imagine Usopp and Franky, with Law replacing Vivi............
None of which intrest me in the slightest.........but I said a little while ago that it was time for another mugiwara release.......and CB seems to be the way we're going...........
Also, let's not forget
! we'll be finally seeing Lao G painted!! **"**G!!"
Speaking of Koala, would you guys like to see her POP Mild as well as regular POP? I liked that they did that with Rebecca.
And so megahobby has began!! Reveals in 15 minutes guys!!!
Finally the time has come ^^
I have no wish list in mind, so bring it !
OMG They did it!! TS Kidd!!
Kidd, Killer & Zoro!
Koala!
and Sabo!
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
So Kid & Killer..........Sabo & Koala..........and a pre TS Zoro..............interesting!!
Bon chan!
Better picture of Zoro
Sabo is done by Ishiyama ^^
Bon chan!
About time!! Will go well with JF Luffy
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Now where's my Lao G and DOD Vegeta!!
So once again, they didn't do any new character pre TS? Not a single one? Great….
Thanks for the pics…
I can't find the words ! Exept Koala and Sabo, well...
Not much of a surprise really…..........except for Bentham and Zoro Pre-TS..............
Rumors of Hancock & Brook Mild
Rumors of Hancock & Brook Mild
Knew the Brook Mild would be there…......Hancock before Law is a surprise.......
Mild time
For those of you who complained about random choices - they're doing circles with 4 characters now : P
yaaaaaaaaawn
Going to be getting Sabo & Koala, passing on everybody else.
Edit: And well, Hancock and Brook obviously too. As in getting, I mean. Space and money problems never expand onto MILD POPs.
Hah! As expected!! So they're doing Nojiko again as well…........Usopp, Franky and Vivi next as well I guess...........
Looks like that's all folks!!!
That Hancock better have some extras, because right now it looks to static. The GLC is better, but that's the case for almost every mild.
Edit: I just wanted one single new pre TS character, and they disappointed again. I do believe they will never do the remaining characters. Time to move on I guess.

Even that's stretching it…......Only one with any dynamism as far as i'm concerned is Bon-chan..........could almost pass completely........Sabo looks jus like the custom we saw months ago!!
Wish Brook didn't have "9" on his shirt cause it was a part of that colourspread with them all having joining numbers on, looks kinda stupid out of context, really doubt he really had that shirt back in the day. Also kinda surprising to see them actually copy a pose from Oda's drawing, not a thing they usually do.

Yeah Sabo looks pretty average. They are paired with Koala though, since she's holding his hat, and once again they are copying his intro-pose with it.
Kid and Killer so swole. :wub:
Nice to finally get a classic Zoro. Long overdue, imo. Now if only we could get classic Nami without the massive chest.
I want Koala-chwan.

Hah! If only she didn't have the massive chest on the new Oda drawings of the classic Nami. It's more of a style change than an actual character appearance change. And you know female figures don't sell without boobs unless it's lolicon.
And damn. Just saw they are making Hokage!Kakashi… When I bought the recent G.E.M. of him in the Anbu outfit, I thought of it as a nostalgic gesture towards my teenage interests and was sure that would be the only Naruto figure I'd ever buy. Welp...
Sabo - Check!
Koala - Check!
POP Milds - Check Check Check!
A little confused that Robin Dereshi is coming out again, its already come out this year.
Is this it? No more new announcements for POP?
So who is left to get a new version/repaint/ver. 1.5?
From the NEO line:
Carue
From the DX line:
Kuma
Moria
Dofla (which would have been logic…)
Jinbei (also logic...)
Enel
Vista
Rayleigh
Akainu
Kizaru
Bonney
Ben
Arlong
Shilliew
Roger
What are your bets on the next Megahobby? I think they might do the admirals. Dofla and Jinbei would be too predictable for them.

The 2 ultimate old POPs with no upgrades are still Bellemere and Usopp+Chopper skypia ver.
WHERE'S MY LAO G!!!!
WHERE'S MY LAO G!!!!
(Do you really want him btw or is it ironic purposes?..)
Would be hilarious if he ended up being cancelled after all…
I'm also kinda sad there's just one girl and no Baby-5 :(
@Al!naJames:

Well, Chopper an Usopp have both got lots of new upgrades in new version forms.
Bellemere I see as a grail. I don't think they would mess up with her.

Hokage Kakashi?!? Are there any pics of him floating around? Can't find any.

Well, yeah, but re-paintings and re-releasing the same sculpt few times and making a few figures of the same characters aren't the same deal in my book ;)
And ahhhhh, for a moment there I was worried there were no new Sekai Seifuku Sakusen figures shown (was really hoping for more SM stuff), but then I saw on MFC that they announced Ami and Rei about a week ago! How lovely <3
