great shot alina! that pic is really good to compare plex luffy to the POPs .. I still think Neo luffy and marineford luffy should just … get out .. XD
One Piece Collectibles v.7 Main Discussion - "The never-ending POP alts"
-
-
You all should be glad I didn't include SW one XD The horror.
Luffy's crotching and he's so big, Zoro's standing tall, he's going to be as big as Newgate P.O.P.! O_O
They should announce Sanji asap and I pray they do more spreads. -
everytime I look at my SW Luffy pop I remember how much I liked him until we got other pop's in the SW line… then slowly.. it was clear Luffy was the shittiest one, like always. So dead pan. I swear as soon as they make a time skip Luffy pop, I'm putting SW away. SW Luffy's only still on my shelf because I have Brook, Chopper, and Usopp next to him.

Hi, can anyone take pictures for size comparison between Banpresto Marine DX and P.O.P
-
@cyber-robin , i got those last month but finally able to have them from the proxy, got'em for 3000 yen as a complete set , but you can get them for 2000 from what i saw now , minus ace that i'm still looking for XD , chopper and robin look pretty good ^^
@xingingho, i only have zoro from the first set, still need the rest, i could go for the full set over YAJ and get a duplicate zoro or get each seperate but it's gonna be hard work if its over YAJ , so i wanted to ask you first, how much will you sell yours separately ? :3
a request for Tabasco Boshi to take a close-up of usopp's coaster , so i took close-ups of them all instead ^__^'
zoro

DPC Luffy - WOW. Amazing. Best Luffy figure of all for me. I still love GLM, but the size and amazing dynamic pose win me over!
Oh god I want him so much now!!! How tall is he? 21cm?

Humm, let's say 5€ per coaster, without handling (envelop cost) and shipping fees.
-
Oh god I want him so much now!!! How tall is he? 21cm?
Yeah he is arround 21 cm. You should buy him he really is amazing. Still 15 left on Amiami. But looks like he isnt that hard to get anyway.
-
Its so tempting!!!! He would look awesome next to SQ Ace. But I just told myself I would only spend money on finishing out sets I have already started….but....ohhhhh....why must everything look so awesome :D
-
aaaw coopz! you should so buy that plex luffy! he's the best luffy ever! :D none of the POPs is that good. seriously!
-
-
God >.< now I´m afraid.
There are only 15 Luffy left??? I placed the order some minutes ago, really hope I can get him. If PayPal needs till Thursday to transfer my money from my bank account I´m gonna kill 'em -.-"
Maybe AmiAmi is patient… -
Thank you iomi ^^
BTW DPC Luffy looks amazing. If I had money I will buy it for sure.
-

Probably because Luffy isn't in his normal outfit and Max (the producer, Plex is only the distributor) isn't well known in the figure field so Japanese ppl don't buy it now and are waiting for the next figures.

@Al!naJames:
No, I am a big fan of the whole crew, and of course I love BB himself.
Laffitte just… hypnotises me with his fabulousness @___@ANYWAY.
Blackbeard P.O.P.
Sculpt: 0/10
Pose: 0/10
Colours: 1/10
Extra details: 2/10
Anything else?: FAILOkay, where do we start…
Let's randomly start with pistols!http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/2323/img9143.jpg
As a wanna-be artist, I just went through a training of drawing guns, old-styled pistols and stuff, including 3 goes to historical museums with drafts and sketches from there, and I assure you - this is NOT how guns look. This is some flat childish replicas made from wood. I mean, REALLY, they are just… flat. You'd think they had alot of expirience making guns after line of Strong World figures, but nah-ah!~
(not to mention that actually he has 4 guns in cannon there, not 3)The base.
http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/9798/img9136.jpg
Okay, the base is pretty much well done (although I still don't get why in their main font for all P.O.P.s they use small "C", but whatever…) and I'm happy to get a base with my favorite pirate flag - its One Piece, most of the pirate symbols here are some kiddie-styled skull-portraits of the owners, and Blackbeard Pirates' one is among the very few with a good meaning behind it. Once I get over my pussyness I'll go and ge it tattooed, looking like real bones, on my back.
But I don't quite like their tendency to make the bases so big lately - all of the recent figures had it huuuuuuuuge, I mean I can understand Newgate, but BB & Garp? I don't think it was neccesary. And, like I already mentioned, this is basically the first figure of the line to have problems of getting into the pegs on the base and actually fitting in them, and not just that, it keeps springing off! God lord.The clothes.
It's just… bad. I can understand them using metalic paint on Hancock's get-up, but making Blackbeard's shirt shiny-maroon colour? Really? And as always, I just hate the coats on P.O.P.s, they all lack movement and look so unnatural, like they are dirty, folded pieces of fabric stuck in the outer space with no gravity affecting them.Now onto the worst parts…[hide]
Face.http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/7806/img9158f.jpg
His face is off. Tottaly off.
First of all, they failed to capture the proportions of it - nose and eyes are located way too close to each other, and they are too centrefied on the skull.
I drew on the picture how his nose is on the POP and how it should have looked like.
http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/4592/img9137e.jpg
Another big fail is that they made the gums show, which never happened in cannon and made his whole face look different. As a person with short upper lip I know what showing gums can do to your face.
Also, he had a pretty tiny 'stache above the upper lip, while on figure it fills all of the space between nose and lips, which also gives it a wrong look.
His hair looks like it's been groomed back, instead of falling over his ears, and making it look like he lacks ear-shells all in all.
http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/8751/img9169k.jpg
Whole head is quite small compared to his body, they cut off 70% of his neck.His hat looks like some sort of a retarded crown… It's very pretty much pulled down in the original.
http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/2135/img9150j.jpgHis pants are WAY too short and of course such a hairy man would have bare legs, sure. I mean, yes, anime also made fails with the length of the pants, but they always covered up to the down part of the boot in manga!
And the way his "leg" goes into the boot… ugh... Like a bent pipe in a wall...
Not all of them a rubber-men, Megahouse!
http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/1730/img9147s.jpgBody hair looks like dirt.
http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/180/img9142ou.jpgAaaand he has no colar-bones.
Pose is over-used.
Beads are TOO obviously connected with a shirt instead going under it.
And they are flat circles, too. Instead of being beads.
http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/8493/img9159d.jpgYou can't take off his bracelets, for some reason they are glued to his arms.
Special-effects.
Darkness fist is… green, for some reason.
http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/1776/img9139q.jpgGura-gura ball looks cheap as hell. And I don't get since when it became so white and dusty while it always was a crystal-clear power sphere…
http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/264/img9152e.jpgOn the palms with fruit-effects the rings go missing.
Besides… paint-blobs.
http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/8108/img9140t.jpgOne of the best reviews ever, but I still will try to get him, basicly because I just hunt down those Blackbeard merchandise as much as possible.
The only up I have for this sculpt is that Blackbeard supposed to be a ugly/akward formed man (even Marco mentions this) so they did a good job on that. Aside from that I think it's Megahouse's ugliest P.O.P to date.
@ Redon, they where posted a couple of weeks ago. I like them. But I think Robin's one might scare some people XD. Cowboyskullhead-nazi-like ;).

W-T-F man XD
Marco didn't say anything like that!
He said Captain's body is "unusual", meaning he has some weird shit inside like 2 hearts or the like, thus he could get second devil fruit, because his body makes him count for 2 people. -
Blackbeard is a Time Lord? Huh. I never knew.

God >.< now I´m afraid.

Maybe AmiAmi is patient…They don't need payment right away, I think they give you 5 days, and then another few days after that deadline passes.

@Al!naJames:

Not trolling. Don't get me wrong, he's a fun character, but he is ugly.
If I didn't like him, I would have thrown out his FC when I got it like I did with Ivankov. But no, here he sits on my shelf, laughing away in that standard pose of his. XD

Uwooooh so cute, that treasure chest <3
Effects Ace is indeed a bit strange in the face, the first one I got also had a strangely thin waist. But your pictures make him look a lot better than he really is 8) Grats on the haul~So I saw thebrain's username and the Pinky and the Brain song popped into my head. o-o

aaaw coopz! you should so buy that plex luffy! he's the best luffy ever! :D none of the POPs is that good. seriously!
Is he really that good? I'm debating whether or not I should get one, seeing how Luffy is my all time favorite fictional character… The only thing holding me back is the fact that he never wears anything like that in Cannon, and never uses guns either(besides SW),so it kinda seems out of character.... I've really only been collect P.O.Ps and I love them... So what do you guys think should I grab one? Cuz it's either Plex Luffy or another P.O.P...
Also... I'd like some advice please
I've been considering for a while to maybe start collecting a new line in addition to POPs, to those whom collect most or all of the lines. Which line do you guys love the most and would recommend I start to collect; Banprestos DX lines( GLMs,GLL, Marine DX etc) or WCFs??.. or should I just stick to POPs??.... decisions decisions...lolAny advice would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post. -

Finding the original Luffy, Shanks and Ace GLM is pretty expensive now and even with the rerelease of WCF's, 12 volumes (not including the SW ones) will cost you alot. I love both lines alot but starting from the begining would be a daunting task.Then it comes down to personal preference. WCF's are awesome but can tend to look abit messy when you have alot of them, where are DX lines look nicer all together etc
If I were you, I would go with the Plex Luffy as he looks great, and Zoro and Sanji will be out soon to go with him!

We all know neo ace is the ugliest POP ever. BB is nowhere close.:ninja:
-
I in particular like BB P.O.P, however since I am not a die hard fan of the character , I can undestand the frustration some feel about it. In my case I am a fanatic of the Marines, and it bothers me the fact that Aokiji did not include his cape/coat.
-
Can't wait for my Luffy & Ace mild to come, they look awesome!

Getting rid of strong world luffy today, now I can get the neo luffy in peace :D

@ Fabz
Very nice collection Fabz. Awesome display of the POPs.@ Fabz, seriously love your collection ! just got into the game of WCFs, seems like a fun hunt Xp ! hehe keep it up !
Fabz, WOW! Lookit all those WCFs and POPs!! My poor WCFs are crying for full sets when they see your collection. Too bad I left some out of mine XD Some characters got the cold shoulder from me… same with POPs. You should be really proud, Fabz!
Nice hauls Iomi and Sensui! and Great collection Fabz!
Thanks everyone:happy:

We all know neo ace is the ugliest POP ever. BB is nowhere close.:ninja:
I agree, and I dont think the BB POP is that bad at all, a few misteps here and there but overall he still looks pretty good. I might be the only one but ive always felt the Smoker POP looked pretty bad compared to the rest, his hair and a few other things are really off IMO.

I second you on that one, I do not like Smoker hair. I like the jacket and stuff but his pose don't convince me that much neither.

well I and many others who got him, think that yes .. he is that good. :) I mean, every luffy POP had something which wasn't right .. the neo didn't look good .. even though they tried, the face was off .. arg … SW luffy's face is off ... at least it's not typically luffy. and marineford luffy ... well either you like that one or you don't. I don't, the face is bad imo and sculpting too. but hellohooo .. look at that plex luffy .. :wub: awesome luffy grin? Check. nice size? Check. amazing sculpt? Check. no paint issues whatsoever (well I only can speak for mine)? Check. one of oda's coolest colour spreads made into figures? Check. XD what not to like about plex luffy?!!! ... I know, some people don't like his clothes ... gosh, that's not a reason to pick on him. seriously, luffy changes clothes all the time in colour spreads and they always look great on him. I'm glad we finally get a luffy with different clothes! :3 and the guns ... if you so don't like them, you could still get him miniature meat .... XD
-
LOL trashcat! mini meat… can you take the gun out of his hands? That would be awesome, I have so many miniatures! My SW sanji looks a lot better for it! (in case anyone doesn't remember/know what I mean about my sanji:
[hide][/hide]
-
OMG where did you get those accessories. I was looking everywhere for like a month for kitchen accessories.
-
oh yes maggie you can take both guns out of his hands. :) they come seperately. so if you don't like 'em … off to ebay you go .. looking for something else for him to hold or point at you! XD like .... meat. XD
Oh btw maggie, your SW sanji is awesome!! :3 he's the reason I seriously thought of buying that stuff! XD ... I bought croc a glass of redvine ^^ he looks more pimp now (if that's even possible haha).
