If they made lucci in that big form people would complain cause it would most likely fall under the Max line I'd rather jyabura though

True, makes me wonder whether they will ever release those huge asses Jabura and Kaku.

I've been refering to an 'activated-devilfruit' Lucci.

Ah, well MH can't/won't make them that big, but that's not a suprise for you I hope.
-
It's not the same face, but the same dead expresion we are complaining about.
We know that faces can be better, like Neo Nami's or other OP lines.
Ajiken should just retire….Yeah, there's face expression factor too, but - how many females in OP really have various faces nowadays? I mean expression wise too? There's been a decrease of emotions and they all have pretty much the same tiny smile+looking cute attitude.
-
Well it seems I forgot Kuzan. His post skip design is perfect in my eyes so he's one of the must-buys as well.

Yeah, that was the shape I wanted to see or, at least, have. But you know, nowadays a large POP could be consider in the MAXIMUM line… As Luffy says: He's huge!
I mean, I suppose they preferred to do a medium size version that is not large to avoid a bigger price.

I understand that. But I would be totally fine with him being as big and bulky as Jimbe POP. That would be a nice compromise, imo.

But that medium size looks huge already so his biggest form would have been as big as Franky SA or more.

I doubt there's any laws regarding how tall a specific character has to be. There hasn't been any accuracy till now. Like I said, as tall as Jimbe would have been enough.

The MegaHobby EXPO Spring 2013 didn't disappoint me at all. The new figurines to be launched could be predicted easily .
A] Megahouse
One piece POP
- One Piece - Nefertari Vivi - Excellent Model - Portrait Of Pirates DX - 1/8 (MegaHouse)
She was expected. She is a must have for any old one piece collector or fan. I will wait for her color version to come out & then decide.
2)One Piece - Juracule Mihawk - Excellent Model - Portrait Of Pirates DX - 1/8 Ver 2(MegaHouse)
This guy is complete from every angle . This is a must buy but I am not attached to the character. Again a tough call.
- One Piece - Monkey D. Luffy - Excellent Model - Portrait Of Pirates "Edition-Z" - 1/8
He is a must buy for me . Can't wait to see him in color.
4)One Piece Film Z - Roronoa Zoro - Excellent Model - Portrait Of Pirates "Edition-Z"
This is one hell of a dynamic pose . He is also a must buy
- One Piece - Rob Lucci - Portrait Of Pirates DX
One more awesome sculpt . Megahouse is giving due respect to Animal heroes/villains of one piece. He is not my type though. I will let him pass .
- One Piece - Aokiji - Excellent Model - Portrait Of Pirates "Edition-Z" - 1/8
I fell in love with him after seeing one piece film z >Another must buy for me
&)One Piece - Sengoku - Portrait Of Pirates DX - Excellent Model - 1/8
Former fleet admiral was expected to join the pop lineup and here he is. I will let him pass for the timebeing,
- One Piece - Kalifa - Excellent Model - Portrait Of Pirates Limited Edition - 1/8
Long legged beauty . I will let her pass for now
-
i agree lucci is very nice but not perfect, since the true leopard lucci is more robust with broad shoulderd and big chest. this one is more "leopard-like" than the true one. anyway nothing too much important to complain about.
-
I doubt there's any laws regarding how tall a specific character has to be. There hasn't been any accuracy till now. Like I said, as tall as Jimbe would have been enough.
that's what i said, the medium size looks already huge so imagine the biggest form.
-
I doubt there's any laws regarding how tall a specific character has to be. There hasn't been any accuracy till now. Like I said, as tall as Jimbe would have been enough.
That way he'd look even more out of scale. At least if he were made using a standing position. If they had chosen to go with his biggest form in an attacking pose- like getting read to leap at the opponent- then that would've been a totally different story. While I too would have preferred to see his full Zoan form I'm not disappointed by this one either.
And just to make it clear to everyone again- that form of Lucci's is canon and did happen in the manga. So MH did not take any liberties with the figure.
-
regarding lucci: actually it IS his Life-Feedback form which represents his most powerful technic. After all he wanted to beat Luffy without life-feedback at the end and lost because of this. Through his life feedbekc he reduces his montstrous form into a slimmer version which makes him faster and more powerful. Im very happy that Megahouse decided to do this version of him…due to what it represents!
did not see the last post above^^

thanks for your precise info and now spend your money on neo- maximum lucci . There can be a figure of luffy-lucy also . Hope you like that too
-
That bunch of new P.O.P's MegaHouse showed on the Expo makes me think what will they show us on the Wonder Festival. Only painted figures?
-
^ They usually showcase at least 2-3 new figures.
-
Yeah, but there are only 2 months to go and they showed a lot of new figures. Do you think they will show 2-3 new figures as always?
-
I doubt there's any laws regarding how tall a specific character has to be. There hasn't been any accuracy till now. Like I said, as tall as Jimbe would have been enough.
Well that would result in a really akwardly small looking Lucci figure Inishi. If you would put that into a nice display it would frustrate me beyond reason.
This one looks fantastic with the "Marine Ford" Luffy and thus the ones who have the Jump Festa Special really enjoy it. Since the end battle was full of dynamic scenes.A shot of how big he is now:
Again he's not the bulkiest mode Lucci has been seen in. This is however the mode he's fighting Luffy in the Tower and thus the best mode anway.
In short its a great figure, not only for the fans but also because it's the first Zoan figure fully worked out that is not Chopper.
I do agree I would have loved him bigger, but he's quite huge as he is now (much like Arlong) and his shipping will be expensive enough as it is.For me a must get :D. Then again if you didn't enjoy the CP9 arc all to much I can understand you'll pass him. I just love to have all the main atagonists of Luffy.
That way he'd look even more out of scale. At least if he were made using a standing position. If they had chosen to go with his biggest form in an attacking pose- like getting read to leap at the opponent- then that would've been a totally different story.

Exactly the reason why I like it so much :D

Just had a chance to re-review these!! Wow!! It was such a lot to take in!!
Regarding Lucci. His tag says Ver. 豹 [紙絵武身] which translates as Leopard [Kami-e Bushin] or literally "Paper Drawing Fighting Form". I know some of you have already said this, but this is the form he takes when he uses the Life Return technique to battle Luffy. Essentially this is his ultimate form.
Although I like him, the pose is a bit too dynamic for me. I won't be able to make a final decision without seeing him painted, but I need to be very selective if I want to be able to continue to collect after Franky.
Kalifa LIMITED? Did we know that before? If she's Mekke/Megatre then guess she won't be out in October since we already have Shiki, but it doesn't say anything on her tag so she may be normal pre-order like Hancock Ver. BLUE was?
I'm passing of Z, but that Kuzan is canon to the PH arc, so may look at getting him to pose with Doflamingo:
!
Sengoku looks cool, but his pose is a bit uninspired…....I'll wait to see if he hits the bargain bin after release I think.
Mihawk......even after reading everyone's posts I'm afraid I just can't get excited for the Ver.2. I'm sure he'll come with alternate arms for more posability, but I just can justify "replacing" my existing Mihawk. I couldn't do it with Lucci, I couldn't do it with Blackbeard. In fact Shanks is the only character I am replacing due to the fact that the NEO looks so out of place next to the Beckman DX.
Vivi! Glorious Vivi!! I'm so surprised more of you aren't feeling this figure!! Whether you do or don't own the Original/NEO this version is a must get!! She was a member of the crew at one point remember!!?? She's an honorary Strawhat!!
And this talk about her looking like she's petting Carue? Really.....she just looks like she's waving to me.
She will look gorgeous next to my Carue though!! Whether or not they re-release him....I don't know....I mean we never got a Bellemere re-release with Arlong?
I paid 20K for mine, so it would hurt a bit if they did, but it would be nice if more people had the opportunity to get him.
-
Yeah it's amazing isn't it. Trust me people will get that Lucci once they see him painted. Leopard prints done my Megahouse will be great and again it's a unique character among the whole line. I just love it allready, in special because he looks so awesome even unpainted.
Kalifa being limited was known since the day she was spoiled. Nothing new for me, just a must have. Same as Sadi-chan I need some hot female enemies among my collection. Sadi will just be epic as will Kalifa be. Perhaps even better than SA Nami and SA Robin!
And thanks for the head up on Aokiji, now I am waiting for a finished result and his extra's. I might get him if they give him some cool popsickles :P.
-
I'm passing of Z, but that Kuzan is canon to the PH arc, so may look at getting him to pose with Doflamingo
I hope they won't make a second version "Sailing Again" with a dark shirt to make more money.
-
Now that's what I'm talking about!!! Can't wait!! I hope she's out for Christmas!!
Also, took another photo today with better lighting:
[hide][/hide] -
^DD looks like their big brother watching over them (and their grandpa Brook). Or maybe he's controlling the crew…
trying to get back into collecting is a difficult matter. More than I expected it to. Why you wonder? Because once you set your eyes on the new figures shown or even old ones that caught your attention before, you start seeing more prototypes, more pre-orders and more beautiful figures in general. And before you know it, you have a closet full of various figures again, not sure where to put them all. BUT this time I'll be wiser and only stick with POPs if they look good.
Going by a theme might be a good idea too (like getting the admirals or Shichibukai etc). -
BUT this time I'll be wiser and only stick with POPs if they look good.
Going by a theme might be a good idea too (like getting the admirals or Shichibukai etc).Kinda how I started and still am collecting. Regrets are the only thing that make this hobby a heavy burden. Be sure you want it, give it a couple of days to think about before you order. Try to think beyond the hype.
I fully understand why some people skip on Lucci, it's mostly because he only looks really awesome if you plan to have/get Kalifa and normal Lucci. Same goes for Sengoku. Why get a Sengoku if you don't have the Garp?! All in all Im just very happy my Shichibukai are complete, Whitbeard crew is complete, Blackbeard and Shiliew are there and so are the best of the Straw Hats. I like some of the SA's and will get those. As it's looking now Im skipping SA Luffy until they make a good one with a manga-like scar.
Also, took another photo today with better lighting:
[hide]http://imageshack.us/a/img35/7647/dressrosaarc.jpg[/hide]Great group shot! Dofla is an awesome figure. I honestly like his character with the big pink.
Keep up your wonderfull collection :D.
-
I wonder if MegaHouse will reissue the original Garp to go with Sengoku? Garp is getting expensive on the aftermarket and it seems bizarre to have just Sengoku and not Garp.
-
Kanji you think Sengoku will hit the bargain bin? That'll be great! I don't really like him (only appear for a few times so not much love and he indirectly killed Ace) but my Garp is so lonely standing alone!!!!!
-
What do you mean that Sengoku indirectly killed Ace?
-
What do you mean that Sengoku indirectly killed Ace?
Well technically he did speed up the execution time for Ace, and also orchestrated the whole plan to begin with. All this, while collaborating with the other admirals via den den mushi (and the entire marine core in fact), to kill any pirate they saw… (and special exceptions for those he mentioned by name). So yes, he did indirectly have a hand in the death of Ace...
-
Vivi is a pleasant surprise. I didn't like any of the old POP figures of her so I'm looking forward to getting this one.
I want to see how Zoro and Luffy in color. Luffy looks to be promising. Zoro is an instant get. I still think Sanji is the best looking Film Z POP figure so far.
Aokiji is tempting but I'll probably pass. Mihawk's face is perfect. If I get him I'm putting him next to Shanks.
first time posting in this section so hello
-
Welcome Neo Valkyrie!
Oh, and in case anyone was wondering on Vivi's colour scheme. This is the outfit her figure is in:
-
with ViVi released the old Vivi will certainly drop in price… I guess XD
... I wanted to stop getting POPs... darn... want Vivi and Sengoku... -

[hide]http://imageshack.us/a/img35/7647/dressrosaarc.jpg[/hide]Love the collection. You are making me want to get rid of the GLM and move on to POP. Out of interest, where do you get the pictures for the background? Many of my sources have watermarks :/

^ They usually showcase at least 2-3 new figures.
Yeah, but there are only 2 months to go and they showed a lot of new figures. Do you think they will show 2-3 new figures as always?
Last Wonder Festival we didn't get any new prototypes, just 4 figures painted. However we did have Jump Festa a couple of months before where we got Newgate 0 & Sanji Z and 3 figures painted.
So technically we could see all 7 of these painted and get 2 new protoypes on July 28th (Nami & Brook). Here's hoping! That's exactly 2 months away!
Considering Luffy & Zoro Z were the only 2 figures that were "allowed" to be photographed I guess these 2 will be the next pre-orders along with Mihawk & LIMITED Kalifa. Do you think they will release them together or space them out?
I guess that could take us to the end of the year if we get Kalifa & Luffy for late November and Zoro late December?
From the look of the material, Lucci appears to still be in the early stages of development. No mould ready yet for mass production. He will likely be the last release of the 7 we've seen.
Which leaves Kuzan, Sengoku & Vivi….....January, February, March.........? I really hope they go back to doing 2 releases a month. I don't want to have to wait until April 2014 for Vivi!!
-
Let them come out properly . No need to hurry :)
-
So just caught up with all the expo posts and new POPs…
I'm really glad on a new Vivi. I really don't like her old POP. Her and Carue are the only POPs I don't own and just can't bring myself to buy. I know most people hate her, but I really like Vivi so quite happy to see a new version of her.
Zoro Z looks fantastic. It's definitely the best Z POP so far. MH always does a good job on him. Then you see Luffy... looks better-ish, yet another hip trust... we can't seem to get a decent Luffy from MH. Really like Kuzan. Not much to say with him as he's just standing and with different clothes. Not hard to mess that up.
Nice to finally see Sengoku, but he looks a bit off to me. Maybe it's his arms or just his face. I hope he has different options. At least my Garp will be happy. I wouldn't put it past MH to do a Sengoku 0 with a younger head. Garp 0 was worth getting, but Whitebeard I don't think is. But then I got his IK so that might make me a bit bias.
I have mixed feelings over Lucci. On one had, great to see a zoan, on the other, I don't think we really needed it. I actually happy they went with the slimmer version of him vs the big one. It makes more sense for a fast attack leopard guy. Still his legs look very long and out of shape. Plus his face is terrible. Hope they improve it.
Milhawk. All I got to say is FU MH. He's so much better than thrusting super hips Milhawk. But beh, wtf am I going to do with the old one. Hmm, maybe I might do a MF stand and just leave his old one with the rest of the Warlords.
In other news, I've basically completed my Hancock collection! Just missing one item, technically not a figure I guess, which I'm not sure I want to bother getting. Mostly as I haven't had luck finding it. The only thing I didn't bother with were the small unpainted crap, POP/FAZ/SQ repaints (well outside of the recent one), the yet to be released figures (which I will get on release) and the unofficial ebay ones. Boy some of it was a pita to get. My room has boxes everywhere from recent purchases. So sadly I can't put stuff on the shelf. But hopefully in the next few weeks I can put everything away and take some photos.
-
Not necessarily. Nami having a few POPs doesn't drop the price of her Neo one
But likely. People consider Neo Nami the best Nami POP, that's why they are hunting her. Vivi NEO POP looks crap compared to the new one (those feet…). People in need of her like me will gladly jump on the new one and forget the old one never existed.
-
This is making me think about moving onto POP now :/
Go for it !! Sculpt-wise not always the best, Paint and material wise ahead of the game!

I agree on Zoro, they always do him very well and fuck up Luffy. Have to say this Z Luffy is one of his better figures. Again I think they will do another 2-3 Luffy's so Ill wait for the best one.
Love the addition of Sengoku, it was needed and he looks really good. Imho Lucci's face is spot on, it's just because of the colours it doesn't look that good yet. His leopard-face is just as ugly in the manga/anime ;).
And Mihawk…. Stil deciding XD. Just removed him from my wishlist and probably will add him again in the future. No hurry on that POP!
Awesome job on the Boa collection! It's always nice to see dedicated collectors getting a whole lot the same character, pics please :D!
-
While we're on the subject of Film Z. It looks like the Figuarts Zero Luffy, Franky & Chopper are out now:
! They don't look great to me. But maybe that's just because we've seen some amazing POP's.
-
DAT FACE
-
Yeah….those look kinda bad. I'll reserve judgement until I get them. But considering they're a pretty good deal more expensive than the regular ones it's pretty dire.

The Chopper QC looks terrible, but both the Luffy and Franky look fantastic to me. That Figuarts Zero Film Z Luffy looks a hell of a lot better than any Luffy MegaHouse has done.

OMG what happened to Luffy, it looked so badass in the promo pics…wait, this is a FAZ so again they fail in the final product ¬¬. Im glad i didnt preordered him xD.
