Thanks, it's really nice, wish the POP had a backpack too.

november 26th is Chopper kung fu release?
that would be awesome, but deep inside i'm still thinking of "what will it change if i get him ?" feeling, after the chopper megatrea shop version, i feel the neo one useless but i don't feel like selling him

Yeah, I kinda feel the same. Will probably display Kung-Fu point and rebox brain point, but then I'll have brain point, kyupin & DX in boxes, none of which I want to sell. Oh well Guess that's the problem with buying multiples of characters when you want a canon display and not a shrine (No offence to those who like collecting shrines, they look great)

Cyber-Robin

Eh, Chopper Kung-Fu goes well with Robin and Usopp since it looks more of a dynamic pose. Hopefully then they'll give Nami a new release in an attack pose too. She looks really boring compared to the others.

@roronoazoro:

Im not sure, im trying to find it too! I also like akainu base. Trying to find somewhere where the price is cheaper. Will definitely let you know if i find anything

@kanji_xiii:

Very Nice!! Do you know where I could get one? Maybe YAJ? Depending how much it is I might buy it.

I found them on taobao!! There also some Ice customs for Aokiji, Multiple Hands for Robin SA and a Salome for Boa DX (those two there's no picture yet, only preorders)!!!!!

I passed the links to 1UP, he is trying to get some of them I think. The most expensive one was Akainu for around 50USD, Brook guitar's is 15USD and Marco's around 30. Aokiji is on preorder, but estimated to be 45. There's some kind of discount for buying multiples (around 12-15% if the translation was right). Let 1UP know there's some interest, so he can get them for cheap!!!

Cyber-Robin

extra hands for Robin? I'm sold. I find it ridiculous nobody has done that yet.

It seems Garp will be in One Piece Film Z, at least he´s part of WCF Film Z Vol. 04.

I'm glad that this company is doing them!! The customs for Marco and Akainu look good, and it's nice to get the guitar for Brook, extra hands for Robin and Salome for Boa. Here are some of the picture. Waiting to know what 1UP came with.

Good for me. Garp is one of the more difficult ones to get and I personally welcome a reissue. Now if only we could get pre-TS Brook. A Usopp (that isn't a gimmick. Ok. I'll be happy with Sogeking.) and a Buggy (could do his white marineford) I'd put Jinbe down but he should get a new version soon.

Speaking of WCF. I REALLY hope next year isn't full of animals. We saw tons of those sets, but then again they're doing Chopper Z set so…that's pretty much most of them done.

I agree. To an extent. Chopper, Carue and Salome I can understand. And ShuShu and Lasoo are two of my faves. But…I dunno if we need tons of them or not. At first I was excited for the sets but it looks like they're doing these instead of new sets. (and considering how behind and how much has been skipped its kinda sucky) which means if they are doing these, we already know most of next years WCF releases.

Well i see Chopper, Laboon, ShuShu… Carue and Salome as characters... since they are part of the series and important rolls... but there are some animals that i really do not want. HTye just make them to fill the sets... Good example was Strong World animals... Total waste of space imo.

On the subject of customs anyone else seen these Kumacy's. Any idea where you can buy them from?

Also, I think extra arms for Robin is a great idea:

i'll probably rebox the neo Chopper and time skip one, because i'm not interest in displaying all the choppers lol
either i wanna sell them too, so i'll keep them in box somewhere lol

btw yesterday i finally decided to throw some boxes, because i really don't have space to keep them, since the sailing again release i've been having problem keeping them
mostly the gashapon, FAZ and banpresto will be throw out (except for the MSP's and POP) lol

the kumacy custom is an add on to Perona DX? he loos really nice!
MH should take a hint and do the same instead of releasing big boxes with a neutral figure xD

TräshCät

Are there any pics of the Suna Suna no Mi effects for Croc? O__O Mi might be intersted …

Cyber-Robin

I remember seeing some sand effects for Croc not long after he came out. Dunno what happened to them tho.

So I'm assuming we've now seen everything from tamashi nation have we? No better pics of the figures? And sounds like Chopper Chibi and the Hancock Half-Age were just rumours.

Money and Spades

How many figures n stuff could a highschooler with a $100 monthly allowance buy per month?

Cyber-Robin

@Money:

How many figures n stuff could a highschooler with a $100 monthly allowance buy per month?

really depends on what you are trying to get. It may cover you for a single POP. But you could also get a whole set of GLM per month and the FAZ that month. Or you could get the WCF for that month.

coopz182

Very much depends what kind of figures you want to collect. If you are after POP's, you could possibly get one every couple of months as with shipping, you are looking at more than $100. If you are after WCF's, you could probably get each months set for $100 including shipping. If you want FAZ's, you'd probably be able to pick up a couple. Honestly, there are so many different lines of figures these days that there is bound to be something you can collect

You can pretty much find whatever you're looking for on the OPwiki, there's also myfigurecollection.net.

Killax

Good ol Maggie helping everyone!

Well those Kumashi POPs are not POP's, even if they excist, they are not a MegaHouse product now. Apart from the figure even the box looks self-made.
Nonthless funny and cool custom, though lacking the quality to be a POP.

There are many series for the One Piece merchandise, but the most well known are named by serie not by brand :).

Cheers,

CaptainAppleJack

I just got POP SA Chopper from my brother. ^.^ He's nice, although obviously lacking accessory.

Also I find it funny how from the POPs I have so far only like 3 have the Toei sticker. Well, but they're the real ones anyway.^^

@CaptainAppleJack:

Well not that funny, there are more distributors than the Japanese ones.

The mayority of my POPs come from French distributors, different stickers alltogether.

No more pics of Tamashii Nation ???

Ok, here goes a small review!

Aokiji bobblehead by Plex!

I bought the first 3 figures from that line (Hancock, Luffy, Shanks) and even though I only kept Hancock in the end, I always found them quite nice for their price! One thing I always liked about them is their sculpts. My biggest problem when it comes to chibi figures is that most lines tend to make them too animesque and erase original style of OP while Plex usually sucseeds in staying true with it, especially with Bobble-heads!

Aokiji is WAY better when it comes to painting/plastic quality compared to the original 3, although I didn't have a chance to hold Moriah or Whitebeard that were done inbetween in my hands so I can't say if it was a steady progress or a giant leap in quality starting new figures they just put up, but I was very surprised with how great he looks in person! All details are crisp and the painting job is very accurate, he's just amazing all over, I really like everything about this figure!

He stands 14 cm tall and is pretty much my favorite Aokiji figure ever done.
He's like crazy cheap, too - about 25$ on AmiAmi? - I don't think this line/character is very popular too so I could actually see even further drop in price coming along so you should tottaly snag him up if you collect different OP lines! You won't regret it.

I really hope they will add the other 2 Admirals, as well as BB, into this line

Nah Keith, I am not talking about Pokeyman.

Anyway

I think they did the right trick on Shiliew! It could be a bit better, in the mouth area (teeth and lips) but overall, I like it, I like it a lot!
Far better than the Blackbeard P.o.p (which should get a new P.O.P somewhere in the future :().

Another must have:

Any dates on him?!

Let 1UP know there's some interest, so he can get them for cheap!!!

Great DF effects for Akainu and Aokiji. If they are as good as Megahouse original ones, and a bit cheaper, I might want to buy it. My trio admirals look a bit bland now. Hopefully they will do one for Kizaru too.

Btw anyone noticed this before?
The last chance prize of IK Memories:

Weird for future character to get part in the "Memories" Ichiban Kuji.

Raithos

They're either:

A) Doing that because his character ties into major past events in the series, revealed in the movie
B) To promote the character in figure format
C) A and C

Cyber-Robin

holy crap. They must be joking. considering the quaility of the first Hybrid Grade set the price seems a bit too steep for a WB from the same line.

Yeah! I think he looks pretty bad ass. Admittedly he's not the most colorful character, (I like brightly colored figures), but I guess that can't be helped since it is his design. Really hoping MH drop a twitter this wednesday re his price and release date and they better not even think of pulling a MAXIMUM on us!! I'm hoping Kid will be the first and last of that line!! LOL

All in all I'm looking forward to displaying him with BB and a chained Bonney. I just hope these pre-timeskip characters aren't re-designed too heavily by Oda when they appear in the NW. The Strawhats, Perona and Law I can handle, but I honestly can't be bothered to rebuy the Admirals, Shichibukai, etc. again in their new appearances.

I think the only other SA figure I would buy would be Jinbei…..possibly, if he's done well.

And perhap some of the earlier characters like Vivi and Shanks.

AlnaJames

@kanji_xiii:

I'm actually hoping for the opposite LOL! As a person who collects 'character shirines' (and as a fanartist, too) I like varierty of appearances

Well, we've seen 2 out of 3 Admirals via Z now, Akainu may be in too I guess, so may see all 3 actually.
I think characters who didn't do much in these 2 years (like Jinbe or Kizaru, for example) are understandable not to have changed much, but the guys who had a shift in power (like Smoker & Tashigi, or obviously BB & crew) deserve some new looks! I hope that if Oda doesn't change anything about their faces/haircuts then at least they all will get new outfits, you can't possibly imagine Shiliew still being in his Impel Down uniform 2 years after, can you…

I really hate what Oda's doing with 2Y girls :I The only one I'm happy about is Perhona. Others shown so far either didn't change at all or got long hair instead of their cute short cuts... I hate long hair on gilrs Oda!!! If you're making all short-haired girls grow hair maybe for a change just make one of the long-haires ones cut them, PLEASE? God damn...

Yeah, I see what you mean if you're collecting multiples for one character, must be nice to have some variety in your display. I expect most characters will see an outfit change at the very least (bar Kuma, but he doesn't count), but I think MH will need to do more than that to justify me forking out £8,000 yen everytime.

I mean SA Perona comes with a unique new dress w/hat + Kumashi MKII, so although her boots, umbrella and horo's and practically identical, her new appearance is enough for me to get her.

On the other hand, Rayleigh's Timeskip design was just a change of shorts and t-shirt, neither of which were particularly distinctive, so I doubt MH will bother, and even if they did I wouldn't buy it. Equally I don't think Hancock or Doflamingo will have Sailing Again’s made of them either.

Due to the poor NEO re-release sales I did have by doubts about a SA Smoker and Tashigi, however if they both come with alternate body swap faces (angry Tashigi, innocent Smoker) then I think they could sell quite well.

Cyber-Robin

Hancock will see another POP when she appears in the series again. Megahouse woud be stupid to not cash in on that. I'm surprised a limited repaint of her with her blue dress never got released myself. Same with a Fishman Isle Jinbe repaint (but considering how long it took Megahouse to get Usopp, Brook, Robin and especially Franky out it's not surprising that it's too late)

DanMatrix

I'd take a new Hancock POP, just haven't been willing to spend the 12000yen or I'd say $140+ elsewhere yet for the dx POP.

keithgator

Speaking of kidd, he's the only POP that I've ever seen still having pre-orders lying around on amiami way after the pre-order deadline. Hope that puts an end to the Neo-Maximum bullshit.

Enzeru

Shouldn't surprise anyone given that this hypothetical shipping costs should match the figure's price itself. Neo Maximum… maximum rip-off rather lol

Well, in all honesty I hope it will be more like Oda's art, BB himself is a monster not comparable on how he should look…
I do like the Shilliew a lot though, I like the darker figures One Piece have, simply because they are more accurate pirates

There are also some Timeskip outfits I don't like though, like Jinbe, Blue, Green, White... that's just an akward combination of colours imho.

Looking forward to all the realese dates /o/

Im not going to collect the supernovas. Thats like 11 in total & i totally have no place to put them. Only getting sailing again Law & shillew cause they are awesome.
After looking at figuarts zero lineup. I think next years POP will be One Piece Z & Supernovas. I am so happy because i dont need them, wallet saved.
