Grats Alina! <3 Those two pictures you sent in are so cute! How amazing it is to realize Oda himself must have seen your drawings. YOUHAVETOUCHEDODA. u

I totally wish I had the guts to send something in too, but I don't think any of my OP pictures are inspired enough or relevant enough to recent events…;3; bawww.

Your pix are really beautiful, with a style that is not that common (well, I can guess you used some vectorial drawing stuff).
Congrats on your appearance in Green, the time when you'll have to sign autograph to every fans is not so far now ;)

@Elisabeth:

When we talked about MBH, I told him that I was going to buy the secret one for 120$. Utterly befuddled, he opened a hidden box and we looked through the boxes…

I actually stared at a little box for a few seconds. There were red pearls around a black hat...

I'm so happy :D

Really? What don't you like about them? I'm curious, not flaming for the record.

AlnaJames

Thank you, thank you SO much, everyone! I really appreciate ^^
Frozenkuku - you need to come up with a Japanese pen-name and submit your letter to official OP office. Adress was included in volume 4. You can send printed copies of your pictures if they are traditional. Letters to SBS and Usopp Gallery should be separate.

The writing above my art says "winner"…
I think it's about picture above mine, not mine, is it? ._.

sensui

@ReDDragon:

lol awesome! congratz that they have used your pictures AJ.

Was wondering how long before Amiami gives you a reply back on your questions?
Are they fast? I dont believe i ever did ask something before.

What you asking about RedDragon? I sent them a question also because they haven't sent me payment notice on the deformaster (I preordered 1st hour it was available rofl) and I'm concerned since it's out of stock on their website already…..this is not normal of them for sure of any of my orders, hope I didn't get HLJ'ed =X

@Al!naJames:

Just my opinion, but it sure looks like it's talking about you. That is too awesome for words, we should all send you our green volumes for signatures rofl.

AlnaJames

Thank you Sensui~
Although Japanese friend of mine mentioned earlier she saw it, I guess she'd told me if it was a winning drawing ._.
It's volume 60, btw, not Green Databook ^^
But yeah, if you want my signature in your book, then I'm ready, I guess XD;;; Hahaha!

Ahhh, my bad. Going to take you up on that. =D I've been getting lazy on catching up my manga collection lately but might definitely pm you down the line. Thanks!

Also about payment request but for the FC serie. Just want to know if they have it for me or not. I dont want to order it some place else and then
get a payment request from amiami.

I share your feelings on Jinbei, but Whitebeard POP looks pretty awesome though IMO, better than the Banpresto version…

CoralSnake

UGH I wanna send some art in now but I don't think any of it is interesting enough to get into the gallery xD I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU ALINA! and it's funny someone mentioned sending you the book for a sig, cause I thought the same thing xD except I'd want you holding it, taking a picture with it, and then yeah. That. xDDD

also, can not WAIT to get those BOOKS n!!!!

@sensui:

paulowafu

Ha ha I wish. Nah. No prizes at all… besides the beautiful knowledge that something you made will be in a book in pretty much every respectable Japanese bookstore FOREVER.

Some people search for literal immortality, but I'm fine with just leaving a legacy like that. How does it feel to be immortal Alina? Pretty good huh :D

is Hobby Search ok?? I'v enever used them D:

Hey Snow thanks for the awesome heads up, I never ordered from hobby search before but might as well give them a whirl. Preordering seemed easy enough…..seems like amiami's procedure pretty much. =D

@CoralSnake:

I wouldn't worry Coral, they're very reputable, been around for many years….prices have never been that great though I thought till recently.

SBS will definitely be more of a challenge, because we're competing in a field that involves a lot more luck than skill… but that's no reason not to try!

And it's the… counts 4th time.
But who's counting?
<_<

CoralSnake

so awesome you guys got IN u makes me want that vol EVEN MORE NOW UFNSLKDFNLSKDNF that and Dadan. Man I wanna draw her

cm_shin

Congratulations Alina and CCC!! you guys did great!!I wish i could be as talented as you are. im so jealous.

I was wondering if any of you know anywhere that carries

[Banpresto] Chopper Cosplay Figures (not official name) (01/2011)

and

[Banpresto] High Spec Coloring 05 - Lucci, Kaku, Garp + Zoro (03/2011)

Let me know if you do..!

Thank you in advance!!

sensui

Well better late than never, here are some pics I snapped after opening up these figures today….IMO Nami Ending looks pretty good and the new Shichibukai DX is not too bad (I've heard some complaints so I guess I lowered my expectations)....

Shichibukai DX Vol. 3:

!

Nami SW End. POP:

!

On an exciting off-topic note for Odin Sphere fans, the Mercedes figure from Alter is fabulous (yes I just said fabulous….but it really is nice and it's too late to think of a manlier word for beyond awesome)....it's a rerun so I'm sure fans already got her:

!

keithgator

Hm just curious, is Mihawk's sword removable?

ReDDragon

Well you can remove the sword but those "straps" you can see on his back on Sensui's photo are stuck on the sword.

Got my answer from Amiami. The buy from different wholesalers. Most of the time they get it all together but this time
they got one shipment but not the other(s) yet. So people who preorderd it right away got the payment request already.
And people who where later like me have to wait for the next shipment.

@Sensui, nice Mercedes figure. I like the base.

I still haven't seen a good repainting job…Like, ever.

keithgator

Ouch… what a waste of a Super DX Ace figure... besides it seems as if his crotch is on fire...

enel16

well he certainly is.. red..

Gum-Gum-Bazooka

Congrats Alina, and CCC!!!! man I wish i could draw like that, i would kill to have something of mine put into One Piece, man that would feel awesome, even just a sbs question lol.. Anyway, great drawings!!

@Legato:

Everything is better than the Banpresto version xDD the IK WB only had some nice muscles that's all! No serious I hate the POP coat coz it's way too short and too thin…and his body looks ridiculous I mean the muscles and stuff? o.O lol And the Face I dunno what to say..eyes looks good but his mustache or whatever this is, is way tooo big! xD

richgrohl

Oh congrats Alina though you might be tired of hearing it already :D
you deserve it, you have MAD skills ^^

@Sensui
Wow awesome Odin Sphere figure i love how detailed its base is

frozenkuku

amazing!!!
i just started to sourcing WCF

POPadik

what do you mean by sourcing???
thanks..

Elisabeth Heart

@POPadik:

what do you mean by sourcing???
thanks..

I wondered too, so I asked thefreedictionary :)
v. sourced, sourc·ing, sourc·es
v.__tr.1. To specify the origin of (a communication); document: The report is thoroughly sourced.
2. To obtain (parts or materials) from another business, country, or locale for manufacture: They sourced the spoke nuts from our company.

Nice collection POPadik ! :D
I'm starting to collect all the WCF females :)
(I don't know about Alvida pre-fruit and Lola though XD)

POPadik

ah.. i see..
thanks for the info elisabeth…

better collect all since you have access to the rarest of the WCFs..
they are truly wonderful, unfortunately, they killed my FC sets collection.. and now i'm trying to sell those super deformed figures.. LoL..

coopz182

Some good'ish news reguarding Archonia. I emailed them asking about their lack of upcoming Banpresto pre-orders, got this reply;
'We do have volume 7 and 8 of the one piece wcf line up for pre-order right now. volume 6 and 7 of the grandline men have not been added yet but should hopefully be coming up soon as well.'

At least that means they're aware of them and don't intend to stop selling them

keithgator

Forgive me if I offend anyone with this comment, but in my honest opinion, I feel that WCF is really small and expensive, and although it covers a wide range of characters, I can't imagine myself being satisfied with collecting WCFs alone…

Then again, this issue is rather subjective and I guess it's all down to taste and preference...

ReDDragon

I dont think they are that small. For trading figures they are big. For me its the best "small figure" serie available. But expensive indeed.
Offcourse they are enough large figures. And i like to collect those also. But there enough characters that dont get a large figure.

Some new photos from hobbystock (nothing new)

Admirals Zero Figuarts and those new smaller figures
