Both are bootleg sellers. The first one even use official pictures.
But dont think you get a nami that look like that. There is no way you can find a official one for that price.
(There are some Great HK sellers on ebay also with official POP.)And that prize of Odz is the prize he sells it for on his Yahoo Japan store i believe?…
-
Just got my Thriller Bark set today and I was wondering what the little round thing is you get in the box. Is it a sweet or something?
-
Yes, it's candy. Some people like it, others don't. I do.
-
Any clearness about "Oz'" name? How they write it in western style? That would be really interesting!
I was pretty surprised when Brook turned out to be "Brooke" in the anime.
Edit: Ok… question is killed, just found this: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-01-77-2-49-kr-85-1-70-36b6.html
Don't know the history of it… but thats a new attempt to get a grip on his name.... Odz, Oz, Odr... now Ohs... ... ... -
Yes, it's candy. Some people like it, others don't. I do.
hehe i like them also. but i never eat those that come with my older toys :ninja:
Always thought it was something else. Taste a little strange but not bad. -
Yes, it's candy. Some people like it, others don't. I do.
I tried one and it wasn't too bad, not something I would rush out and buy though.
-

havent eaten the candies I have.
Although i keep thinking they could be cola or lemon flavored -
Jacko is no more, I'm the true King of P.O.P now.
I still keep them boxed, because I have three kittens at home that would chew all the "flesh" out of their bones ("But, still, I have no flesh whatsoever! Yohohohoho!"). So, until I can do something to display them (more or less like the Jump Festa display which showed Aokiji and Mihawk), they'll stay like that.
15 out of 32 (announced)…if the Subprime Crisis hadn't put me unemployed, I'd have completed the Strawhats (but Usopp + Chopper and Nami 2) by now... :(About Aokiji and Mihawk coming out in April...indeed, amazing models! But they gave my reasons to complain:
-
Mihawk's Kokutou Yoru seems to be too short...it's more like a giant dagger than anything else. :blink:
-
Seeing Aokiji left me REALLY pissed off about Brook's height, now... :getlost:
Besides that, both of them are amazingly done! The seem to be among the most awesome in the whole collection!

But I come to you now with a question. Do you think that it would be worthwhile for me to double dip on the Neo releases for the POP figures? Or if not double dipping outright, 'upgrading' my classic figures by replacing them with the Neo releases? I've heard that the Neo POPs were redone or something, making them look better than the old ones, but I don't know if that's just a rumour or subjective opinion or whatever. Since so many of the people here probably have the Neo POPs, I figured that it would be the best place to ask.
I'd say that, apart from Vivi, all figures have been improved greatly. Not sure about Nami v2 and Ace, but others got more details, use more robust material or are more faithful to their manga counterparts.
Vivi should have got a more translucid dress with more pleats, but I really can't see where are those additional pleats… -
Hallo! It's been a very long time since I've posted here last, but some of you may remember me from the old collectibles thread.
For those who are interested, I have been continuing my One Piece collection, having kept up with most of the POP figures as they were released, as well as with the Styling sets, the 'Unlimited Adventure' and 'Unlimited Cruise' figures, the manga/artbooks/etc. of course, and a few other things.

It's fact, they are a good 100x better than the first releases. Except Vivi and Nami v.2, who, while still improved aren't noticeable. Yes, that's right, people. The Nami v.2 NEO IS improved. I've compared them, most noticeable change is the area of the chest between Nami's neck and breasts has been lengthened, as well as the position of her head slightly and her face. There was several images of the POPs side by side showing just how crappy and bootleggy the old ones were to the NEOs, but I don't want to go looking for it. It's in the old thread somewhere.

Don't know the history of it… but thats a new attempt to get a grip on his name.... Odz, Oz, Odr... now Ohs... ... ...Native Japanese speakers of the forum has stated it's Odz, with several reasons behind it. So far, there has only been one "official" romanization on a gashapon. This name was Oh's, which I doubt is accurate. Also, when was it Brooke in the anime? His wanted poster hasn't been shown in the anime, just like the manga. But it has been shown in its full in the Romance Dawn anime special in which it's spelled "BROOK".
-
^
Oh's is accurate to how it is said, it just looks stupid. -
Damn, that means I'll have to double dip with the Sanji P.O.P. I got the first run of him and the Usopp/Chopper P.O.P. because they are my favorite characters.

I double dipped my Sanji a few weeks ago. First Post

but you can see alot of difference.
Its really worth it i think.Lucci, Brook and Chopperman should arrive soon (maybe today)
Also ordered Neo Luffy and TB figure set. -

Did you see what are the improvements on Ace ? Because I can't see anything on it too. I'd say that the difference btw series 3/4 and their Neo versions isn't that big.
-
Brook and Lucci came today.
Took me by surprise too, isn’t today a bank holiday? as in no post or am I just completely behind the times?
So 21 days for HLJ delivery, not bad, not bad at all especially considering the Christmas shipping delays and what not.Box and insides were fine (I really don’t know what happened there with yours Buuhan) and best of all, NO VAT FROM ROYAL MAIL!
…Despite being two p.o.ps in one box and much heavier than usual.
You know what… I’m not gonna question it.Oh and as said before, Brooks realistic bones look awesome, you really have to see it first hand to believe it.
-

Its really worth it i think.Whoa, INDEED! :blink:
Neo version is much better! Now I really find amusing how I once saw Luffy's first version being sold at $300, while it's reprint (is this the right term? ^^') was at normal POP price…I'm not THAT much of a collector, I prefer the best looking one, personally. ^^'So...seeing this...may I have a hope that, after a lot of complaining, a Brook's reprint would come with a corrected height? ^^'
A pity that Neo Zoro still didn't catch my eyes, though...I'm dying to get it for my liking of the character...but he's really strange, his face is strange, and they chose his uncoolest outfit in the whole series... :/
I'd prefer much more if it was the classic, or, even, Enies Lobby version.
Sanji, also, is just not perfect, for me, because he's not wearing his jacket.Yeah, I know, I'm really picky on these things... ^^'
But, then, seeing how expensive they come to me (because of Brazilian importing taxes, and all), I don't think it's wrong to be. XD -
I've just reorganizesd this wikia page: http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Portrait_of_Pirates
It was beginning to become inaccurate and unreadable…I hesitated about adding actual figure sizes along with release date and prices. But I don't have anything to measure them and it would be in cm not in inches.
-
If it helps, I just took some measurements of the POPs I have:
Ace: 8 and 3/4 in, 21.5 cm
Franky: 9 and 1/4 in, 23 cm
Nami: 7 and 3/4 in, 19 cm
Sogeking: 8 and 1/4 in, 20 cm
Zoro: 8 and 3/4 in, 21.5 cm
Chopper: 3 and 3/4 in, 9 cm
Kid Luffy: 5 in, 12 cm
Kid Zoro: 4 and 1/4 in, 10.5 cm
Kid Robin:5 in, 12 cm -
Lucci, Brook and Chopperman should arrive soon (maybe today)
Woot and they did arrived today. Didnt expect that they would arrive
before new year.They look awesome, i really like Brook.
No pictures for now, will have new collection pictures in a couple of weeks. -
@CCC: thx man, I already put in those heights. I assumed that Chopper was Neo EX, but I didn't input Nami's height as I don't if it's v1 or v2.
-
How do you tell the difference between a reprint/neo (what are they called?)
It's something with the box? -
The old versions ar less details and some incorrectness sorted.
Anyway, heres an odd request, does anyone know where I can find a picture of a bootleg POP figure? I'm searching for it for the Wikia. I can photograph the real deal myself, but a fake I haven't got and a quick search around the net gives me some real beautifully strange links.Lol.
-
The box is also different yes. And they just call it Neo Luffy or with the number from the serie like Neo 1 Luffy.
From what POP do you need bootleg pictures. From some are easy to find on ebay
just typ the name and then the lowest price :Pedit: this user use bootleg pictures

Great idea. I've added a paragraph in the Trivia section about counterfeiting. You can efficiently expand it into a brand new section with comparing pictures.
Now, I'm waiting to receive my Brook and Lucci… But I'm off for enjoying new year festivities.
Happy new year ! -

381 shows his wanted poster a bit… if you compare that one with the one shown in the romance dawn special, you can clearly see from the size of the letters thats it's spelled BROOK , there is no room for another E on the side of the poster...
it's also spelled BROOK on the back of his P.O.P box..
-
Got franky p.o.p. Today. Why does his fist and part of his forarm "shoot" off? Isn't just supposed to be just his fist?
-
I think they did it that was so it'd be easier to re-attach. If it were just the fist alone, it might be very loose.
Or it could be that the modelers just got their info wrong.
-
my box for Vivi just shows Excellent Model series in one corner and a gold sticker in the other.. ill get pics …but the back just shows Ace,Franky,and Vivi and the date says Megahouse 2007 so I dont kow if its Neo or the 1st version

That's the Neo version. The first run of Vivi would have Ace and Tashigi on the back of the box.

thank you
i hope the yen/dollar rates go down soon so i can afford to buy a new figure soon.
according to the Vista Widget I have…its 90.6 Yen to 1 dollar -
@CCC: thx man, I already put in those heights. I assumed that Chopper was Neo EX, but I didn't input Nami's height as I don't if it's v1 or v2.
oh sorry. yeah, chopper is neo ex and nami is version… errr... the one where she doesn't have the climatact.

Today everyone. I thought in doubt concerning this January purchasing explosion sound. Is you nominate, which most which of rare? Is the clay of the person 2 sugar snack the good figure? I think that we want Ogawa explosion sound. The portrait picture of the pirate is the cool series.

I want Roshi/Nami, Franky/Vegeta and Gohan/Zoro. Also, I noticed Zoro doesn't have Shuusui and instead has Yubashiri. I figured all new Zoro merchandise would feature Shuusui.
