One Piece Collectibles v.10 Main Discussion - "Final Product ≠ Promo Pics"

kanji_xiii

Does anyone know any good alternatives to OneUp?

I've been a customer of his ever since he started, and he was reasonable and fair with shipping. I've ordered a lot of product from him this year, and he's held hundreds of dollars of mine for the majority of 2014. I received a ridiculous invoice for shipping for ONE item. He is unwilling to combine shipping because there are "too many orders" and that he's too busy. Seems like he's too big for the little guys now huh? It looks like he just lost another customer unless he changes his shipping policy. So, back to the original question. Where else can I buy figures that you guys/gals can recommend?

Whilst I have the utmost respect to our fellow member,but I have to admit that I've personally got back to the J-shops….........

It depends what you are looking for...........for prize items and limited stuff your're best using Mandarake, Rakuten or YAJ (with a proxy), but for regular releases the good old favourites are still Amiami, Nippon-Yassan, CDJapan and BigInJapan......

I've gone off HobbySearch and HLJ recently. Their prices and communication leaves a little to be desired............

New limited Chopper: One Piece Figuarts Zero Omaera Genkika Konoyaro Ver.

Anybody know what "Omaera Genkika Konoyaro" means? Is that a retailer name?

sensui

It means Are you "genki" (feeling good) bastard in Chopper's typical cutesy wannabe vulgar talk.

Mates, is there an event today or something? Because the Mugiwara Ya Twitter is uploading some pics that I haven't seen anywhere.

As expected, POP Violet is going up…...looking forward to finally seeing some decent pictures of her from alternate angles so we can finally put the whole lopsided boob debate to rest, haha

kanji_xiii

OK, so starting this debate a bit ahead of time since we still have 57 DAYS until megahobby, but is the POP line losing momentum? I'd like to know your thoughts as I'm starting to get into other lines and other series recently, but I can't do it if I continue to spend money on POP's. I'd like to think that the release schedule may slow down, or they may start running out of primary characters. I mean, I don't want them to stop…...but for me it's become a bit overwhelming and I'd like to re-establish what I should get and what I shouldn't.

So anyway.........cut a long story short, I'm trying to compile a list of characters we'd expect to get the POP treatment, taking into account factors such as scale, relevance, popularity, etc. I have omitted the larger DonQuixote execs for now (incl. Diamante, Trebol, Pica) but I'd been keen to hear from anyone who would especially want figures of them.

Only other character missing off the top of my head is Kyros…....does anyone want a Kyros POP?

MaxGoof

@kanji_xiii:

I still want Coby. He's Garp's apprentice and Luffy's Marine rival. He's at least as important as some other characters that have gotten POPs, and a bit of a legendary character as he does appear in Episode 1/Chapter 1 of One Piece.

Gatekeeper

Seems like Sabo and Koala are a lock in; I'd like a Monet or Vergo but what happened to them doesn't bode well for their chances; Kid and Killer seem unlikely if MH learned from their past mistakes; Kinemon would be nice but I don't think he's that popular to warrant one; and a non-open shirt Tashigi would be nice as well but she's not relevant now, same with Smoyan.

When Kanji writes these posts I get excited so much xD.

I don't think line is losing momentum. This year we have two more P.O.P than last year at this point.

Except Diamante, Trebol & Pica, I'm missing my desired P.O.P of Ivankov. I think he's enough relevance in OP to have a P.O.P (Impel Down, Sanji training, Marineford…).
We'll see later but today I think we'll have: Sabo, Law Mild, Doflamingo ver.2, Lucy, Kinemon and some female character... Monet?, Koala? Baby 5?

Tabasco Boshi

In my opinion, Buggy, Caesar, Kin'emon and Sabo are a must.

MaxGoof

I heard a rumor that MegaHouse announced ANOTHER P.O.P Trafalagar Law figure for next year–this time, a Limited one. Anyone else hear about this or have any ideas what it would even be?

Nothing has been announced officially yet, I don't think, but there is another Law in the works. I haven't the slightest idea what version though or whether or not it will be a limited release. Personally, I wouldn't mind a CB-EX Law!

Coby appeared in chapter 2, though

I want Baby-5 the most and of course wouldn't mind Burgess.
Sabo and Koala yes please, and Dragon would be on my higher top list too.

What the hell is going on with Gladius' anime colour scheme =_=

Normally I'd scoff at all these Law POPs but… ;A;

I would've thought Kyros was a given at this point, but they might be waiting to see how the rest of the arc goes. I don't really know how popular he is.

If they did Lao G, they've got to do Gladius, which is aside from Sabo (and hopefully Koala!! <3) the only one I'm really banking on. Baby 5 seems like she could be a likely candidate but I'm not sure about Dellinger. I'd buy him of course, but I really doubt he would make the cut. Since Momo got a POP, I'm pretty sure Kinemon will get his too.

As far as everyone else on the list, either no period or not until they become significant again. I'm sure Buggy will happen once he re-appears officially.

@2D3Y:

And right after I just paid my invoice for Ver.2!! You gotta be kidding me!! I guess it's still 6 months away from release though….nice to have this one for now.....

Anyway, knowing .5's I imagine the sculpt will be exactly the same with the exception of having a different head? and seeing how the head is removable, I wonder if they'll offer it as an extra for those who got the original. (Like they did with Aokiji's admirals coat)

Also, in Figuarts Zero news, they've announced a new Nami (Milky Ball Ver.), which as a technique she used on PH. So expect this to be a Punk Hazard Battle Version: http://blog.livedoor.jp/onepiece_figure/archives/54233881.html

I think everyone's on the 3 week countdown to Tamashii to see if there's anything new coming from Figuarts Zero…....I don't expect much since Sabo has already been revealed.

I'm more excited to see more from other lines like SH Figuarts & MonsterArts.

Then the next big questions will be what's the November POP pre-order going to be.............seems there was zero interest in Viola haha......expect we will finally see Lao G painted next month before Megahobby......

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

Custom Sabo prototype.....haha............some people just can't wait!!

DanMatrix

I must be in a very low percentile since I don't give a crap about Sabo but brace yourself for the non stop tide of figures to come.

Its weird Violet POP she is #2 on HS but they still have stock. I feel like stores ordered alot more of her then recent POPs.

If they didn't sell much of others figures it's normal that she is in top sale.
Imo i'm not gonna pay that price for her,i paid more than that for Rebecca but she worth it(damn custom)

I think they will make it. And I think they will make a flash back version one too. Since Banpresto keep releasing Doflamingo figures (Ichiban Kuji, Grandline, Scultures), his crew are expected to be the next.
But who knows, probably the crew will follow Blackbeard's crew fate.

Can't wait for my Barto to arrive:

SakugaSaga

If anyone has been following Banplanet, it looks like they've released a few blurred in-production pics of the latest Scultures IV lineup in the past few weeks. The complete prototype pics are planned to be released to the public by next month. (Banplanet blog) Eustass Kid, TS!Zoro, Paulie, and Nami have been shown so far(well, not so much w/ Zoro lol). HOWEVER, there's a few key things that can be extrapolated from these pics!

Paulie is in a mid-air pose, in the the middle of his "Rope Action!" Looks complicated and I have no idea how he's gonna stay up w/o falling over.
Nami will be in her Thriller Bark wedding dress. Her sculptor has image references popped up on her computer screen, so the sculpt on her dress should be accurate.
Kid's fur coat looks done, fluttering in the wind. Can't tell if the pose is of him in mid-jump.

Semi-related is another Colosseum tournament, but instead of 'sculpting' it's about the paint job. The character the competitors will be coloring is Luffy. There's only been one post about this new competition, so more info will be given later on.

Now I just need to track down Bellamy for a cheap price and I'm done…........don't think I'll buy another POP until April!!
