Man, that Jango's pose for Scultures is so awesome a MJ pose, I can entirely imagine swapping that head with an MJ figure.
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
One Piece Collectibles v.9 Main Discussion - "Remember when they weren't named ?"

-
To get or not to get? Hm…
-
I'm not sure either. I really woulda liked to have seen the final product and what the quality is like before putting money down on them
-
Not quite sure how selling more of a product indicates that that product is failing but okay.
I haven't been buying as much stuff recently so haven't posted many pictures, but here's GLM Franky I got which I thought looked pretty cool:

I got Lucci 1.5 today!! Oh, happy day.

He doesn't come with his mask anymore, but 3 different kinds of hands. I couldn't really care less about the mask, I love that I can have 2 heads/hair choices. I'm going to display him with his hat and hair down. SOOOO much more accurate than the original Lucci POP, imho. The original one didn't look like him to me, and I was forever displeased with him. This one's face is just perfect to me, the eyes cold and piercing.
Also, because I rearranged my desk and put them on display near me, Law GLM and FA Bepo:
[hide]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PYH1frnFB54/UMPmuT6y7CI/AAAAAAAADVg/bPreunyrx7A/s720/lawnbepo.jpg[/hide]
My Law has a smudge on his face (looks like he has glitter/eyeliner on next to his nose) but I never bothered to try to fix it. Truth is I really like the sculpt and he's still my favorite GLM. I bought Bepo expressly for Law. I think they look very good together, though I forget their exact height difference/scale to each other. I never did understand though why every GLM Law I see has facial hair that is slightly skewed, not in the middle. I wonder why…?
Congrats Maggie on getting Lucci. His sculpt is very true to the character.
As for GLM Law, my Glm also has his facial hair slightly off to the right. I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it.
This is an old picture, but you can see the imbalance.

Phew. Get busy for a couple months and you guys go and write 100+ pages.
Little late with some of these comments, but . . .Looking at the Franky SA POP, sorry, but he's going to have to come with the front support for his arms. His legs are just too skinny, even if they made his torso and arms hollow. After all, SW Franky POP wasn't strong enough.
Let me explain the tragedy. I display my SW Franky with both guns, attempting to recreate the look of the march into Shiki's quarters. He heroically bore those arms for over two years. Just a few weeks ago, I went into my room and found him lop-sided. One of the pegs had broken off in his foot. >.< I don't think it would have happened had I displayed him without the added weight of the guns. But SW Franky was specifically designed in a crouching pose to alleviate some of the weight. SA Franky is crouching a bit, but not even as much as SW, and he's heavier up top to boot.
ahem But, on a lighter note, I'm super excited for the Zoro MSP. ^__^ And I know someone excited for SA Law. Heck, I rather like his facial expressions. I may consider him for myself as well.
There are a few animals that I kind of want from the WCF Zoo. Unfortunately, they're mostly in separate volumes. Hopefully I'll be able to snag them on mandarake. Though, I'm still trying to pick up a Franky from Vol. 26 to complete my "crew when they first joined" collection. I still wish he were in a "SUUUPER" pose.
Anyway . . . anyone have any methods to remove part of a peg from a POP's foot? ^^;;;;
-
Stick an exacto knife point tip into the peg in the foot, make sure it's lodged in tight and then pull, alternatively you can stick the foot into a pot of boiling hot water for a minute, and then you should be able to remove it with a needle or something.
-
Thanks, I'll see what I can do. I was rather horrified to notice what had happened. He wasn't dropped or knocked or anything, either.
-
My POP doflamingo starting to tilt a bit i think the peg broke or something =( I guess hes pretty heavy
-

Already posted about mine: If you think it's wobbly, rather take it off the base now. Mine broke and now I can't even display him. He has the worst fucking Base I've ever seen. I also didn't manage to get the pegs out of his foot.
-
Yeah, My Doflamingo was leaning a lot, so I've used tac under his feet to balance him out. So far so good, seems to be doing the trick.
A peg broke off in the foot of my POP Aokiji. Lucky It was before I got the new coat and base so I just pushed the peg right up into the foot and put him on his new stand. Lucky the hole was deep enough for 2 pegs
On a another note, been struggling to sell my Garp Ver.0, however I've been offered £120 for him including shipping.
Figure cost me £110, and shipping will be another £20 so I'll end up about £10 out of pocket, but do you guys think the value will increase any time soon?
Problem is, if I don't sell it, I've got the extra £20 of shipping to factor into the resale value when I come to sell it in future.
Is anyone really going to want to pay 20,000 yen for him any time soon? I have my doubts, may be best to cut my losses.
-
Does someone know the release date of Bikini Nami Krimin?
Thanks! -
For some reason the 26th sticks in my mind.
Also another styling set incoming: Luffy, Z, Ain and Binns this time.
-
I put a piece of paper under Dofla already from start when i got it, has not problem with it now. But those skinny legs for that massive coat… Not a very good Idea... Seems SA Franky POP will have same fate?
-
Does someone know the release date of Bikini Nami Krimin?
Thanks!I believe redon posted that the Official Guide Book + Crimin Nami would be released on the 20th.
26th will probably be Kid & Killer. I'm keen to see what those 2 look like on release.
-
I believe we have a convention coming up soon too don't we? Hopefully we'll see Robin painted and maybe Law too
Oh hey, I do videos on figures and manga and stuff: https://www.youtube.com/thatmanhismerch
-

Yeah, Jump Festa on the 22nd. Also movie Z released on 15th, so I expect JF will be very Z orientated.
-
Yeah I noticed some places have put up the first FAZ Z set. I did post a pic a few days back with individual prices on those FAZ so we may see them seperate. I need to remember to cancel Luffy from this month too

@broken POP stands
because plastic models are huge in Japan for decades, they sell plastic beams of various sizes for fitting (search プラ棒 "pla-bou")
you can use that and base molds to makeshift your own stands, as well as use museum gels to strengthen the adhesive. (museum gels are not permanent, and can easily be removed)
Or if that's too much work, you can get custom figure stands that can hold up pretty much any figures and plastic models.

wow, figuarts zero luffy looks pretty good.
-
^agree!!! If the Red Pirates ones look this good, I'm in!!
-
I'm so pissed off by all these Z film merchandising.
I don't care about this, I want Punk Hazard Figure Collection and Mini Big Head >_< -
Thanks for the pictures…
Croc looks pretty fierce!! So does BB. The others I'm not that interested in (we already have a lot of Shirahoshi merch and I feel if I get the HOOK I'll have all I'll ever need) and I don't really even want to think about buying them until I see the final final product which is miles away. sigh
I'm shocked the FAZ Luffy looks good. Something about him looks distinctly GLM-ish to me. Something about the face? The folds in his shorts? Hmm...
-
Punk Hazard hasn't even started in anime yet. I'm surprised we got the ones we did already.
Nice looking WFC. I'm tempted to buy a box of the upcoming set. Need the Chopper to go with Robin from first set.
-
Garp Ver.0 prices seems to be on the up again. Average price is back up to 10K/11K yen again following release and haven't seen anymore appear on Mandarake. Nippon Yasan only have 1 left in stock and saw this one end on Ebay earlier today for $202.50:
-
1UP your pm box is full so i left a message on your profile!
about the new merchandise i can see Luffy FAZ turns out nicely!

This is going to sound like a ridiculous question, but why are the "S" and "C" both capitalized in "SCultures"? Does the "SC" stand for something? It looks so weird.
-
Shanks & Luffy kuji pictures…
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hayate2s-fig/archives/20662738.html
The paint and quality overall look OK, but Luffy's face is really derpy to me. I guess you wouldn't really be looking at it head on since he's at an angle with the hat and all. Plus this is really meant to be viewed with both characters in profile. I think Shanks looks good though. I like it… not 10,000Y+ like it, but I 4000Y like it XD
Also, I made a little video for you guys on how to remove excess paint from figures. Hope you like it, I got a HD camera a while ago so make sure you watch it in 1080p if possible!

Got my Petites today along with the HOOKs. Petites look really nice this time around. Was wary after the craptacular Parasol set and the okish Tea Party one.
HOOKs I aint opened yet. Not that bothered and only really got for Margaret, Shirley and the other one. Disappointed they dropped the extra of Margaret and Kikyou for more boring Hancock ones.

Ohh~ I'm glad t see a Perona with her pre-timeskip design again
(even if her holding the Kumashi plush doesn't make a lot of sense)
and 
, from Sanji's Harem Petit Chara Land 's set, are up for grabs. 630¥ each. PM me~★ Stuff for Sale ★

I dont really care about the Z film merchandise too, but that scultures is something different. I really like this line, equal to my beloved GLM but better posses IMO :D.
Start living before you start dying.

Got a huge loot of stuff yesterday.
I really hate it when you wait for weeks for something to come and there's nothing and then bam a shitload of boxes arrive and you have to spend 2 hours opening everything XD
Thanks to Cyber for GLM and the pansons WCF -w-
GLM are nice as usual. Love them. Kinda hope I can create a display with the whole crew using them.
Kiddie Shirahoshi is so cute~
I got all the anichara I wanted in my box, woohoo! Missed out on Luffy, 2 parts of Franky and VDD.
Petit Chara are indeed nice, I like their bases a lot (even though their design in general is still bleh).
Ichiban Kuji cardholders - always best. May not have very crisp details but their poses and style is adorable and lively
And finally H.O.O.K.s! Really hope there will be more sets, they are fantastic.
Disappointed they dropped the extra of Margaret and Kikyou for more boring Hancock ones.
What are you talking about? XD Kikyou is the alt of Margaret?
-
Congrats Alina on the haul!. Personally, I think the card holders are much nicer than the WCFs.

I didn't have much time yesterday to do this, but I have a little time now. Here's the Colosseum picture enlarged, brightened and contrasted. I only enlarged the color picture to keep the picture true. Thus the color pics will be a little pixlated.
Warning, 7 of pics.

As long as that Croc and Perona are scaled to GLM/FAZ/SC-big (Zoro) scale, I'll get both.
If smaller, I'll probably pass. I like scale uniformity on my shelves. -
Some of those hooks are really nice, I wouldn't mind the Nami's, Boa's, or Sadi's, the rest are pretty meh though.

Although i'm not that excited for Z, i'm looking forward to seeing some merch made with PTS Designs:

[/hide]I really want that crocodile >_>; I'm pretty unsavy with these figures, are these up for sale yet and what's a legit place to buy them?
Open question to everyone;
I got the JF luffy special, I see no legitimacy problems with it but I was slightly dissapointed that he didn't come with the pants to match the blue vest. I asked friends who were more savy with the whole market and said the figure is indefinitely legit but I just don't understand why he only came with one pair of pants but two shirts lol

So you can interchange with the DX Luffy with red paints. Bit misleading from MH I know as I wanted to pose both with red pants, but need to by another DX in order to do so.

That was exactly what I was hoping to hear. I was having nightmares of confronting this just to be told "oh you spent $180 on a fake figure, gratz noob@@". Thankfully the figure is half the price lol
-

These are figures from a Colosseum competition. They are not available yet. It will definitely be a while before we see final products for sure. The color pic of the prototypes just came out yesterday, I think. I don't recall how long it took for Wiper, Nami, Zoro, Dalton, and the others to get to production and preorder. Maybe the others here can elaborate on an approximate timeline.
-
It was about a year or so wasn't it? I know we've been waiting for quite some time for them.
-
yea about a year ago, maby they gonna release in juli/august time in 2013.
-
Geeze that long? Thanks for the information, hopefully I'll get savy in this market. I want that Z chopper specifically. It's just…everything I wanted with chopper :(. It just became reservable the 10th right?
