20 DAY COUNTDOWN!!

Can't wait for it, even if it's 7 months I don't receive new POPs (longest time since when I started collecting :sad:).
I'd like to see the Z line finished even if it's unlikely. We will see for sure Sabo, probably Koala and Corazon, and they could do some other member of the Doflamingo Family, such as Baby 5 and Vergo/Trébol.
Wasnt there something just on? Announcing Koala for GLL vol 4?

I believe it's a new special line called Creator x Creator, 造型師 x 写真家 (lit. Sculptor x Photographer). Maybe it'll be a figure + poster/photo collection prize combo . Looks like there's 2 color variation of the two figures. But daaaaaaaaaammmmmnnnn Aokiji is rocking that 'random' photo shoot! (I swear he keeps getting cooler every time I see a new figure of him).

Are you able to access http://ameblo.jp/banplanet ? It's the first pic under their Report #38 vol. 2.
Wouldn't it be better to link to the pages themselves instead of hotlinking the images?
Yeah, I thought like that once. I wanted figures of some of the characters we didn't have POP's for yet, so I invested in FAZ Sentomaru, Jinbei New World Ver. & Caesar Clown along with Styling Vergo, Monet and Kid/Killer/Hawkins Alliance. I also got Smoker Ichiban Kuji….........but to be honest I kinda regret doing it..........as a display they don't really mesh well together and I was pretty disappointed by the quality considering how much I had spent in total on them all.
POP is the only OP line I'll ever invest in again, but so far there aren't anymore figures that I want. Not until Megahobby at least.............
Is it that bad? Any photos of them together? Toying with the idea of getting FAZ for quite sometimes
That Zoro looks epic and holy crap is that Luffy huge. I knew it would be big but not that big.

What FAZ are you interested in, LC? Figuarts Zero gets a bad wrap, but there are PLENTY of FAZ figures that are superior to their MegaHouse POP counterparts.

Zoro looks really good and so does Aokiji too. That crouching Luffy indeed looks a little bit bigger than MSP figures. Wonder what the new line is.
I just found this: King of Coloring votes on that Luffy figure and MSP Goku SSJ alternative color schemes http://bfc.bpnavi.jp/saishiki/ballot.html
Any information when will they be released?

Some examples. They look better in photo's due to the angle and trickery then they do irl.

thanks for the pictures ^^v only the Caesar Clown abit better to me and like it. the rest is kinda :blink: when putting side by side with POP

The ones which I am interested have no POP counterparts. Some examples are: Buggy, Magellan, Hannyabal, Caesar Clown, Basil Hawkins, X. Drake, Baby 5, Sentoumaru, Hody Jones and so on… Also like the battle version series such as Luffy, Ace and so on...
As on the topic of which is better, hmm... I would say one man honey is another man's poison, different people different tastes. I prefer the POP line and will not like to comment on which is superior to which.

Yes, thanks.
That Zoro looks interesting, I want to see better images. Luffy looks gigantic!
The FAZ look really good in those pictures, too bad the size is not close to the POPs at all, or I would have bought those some a long time ago.
Do you have pictures of the Ichiban Kuji with the POPs, Kanji? Do you feel they are underwhelming too? How are their size compared to the POPs?
I own a few IK (Whitebeard and Roger, Nightmare Luffy, Chibi Shirahoshi) and I'm really impressed with the sculpt and quality considering they are prize figures. I was contemplating buying more of them (Ryuma, Tashigi, Smoker, Kid, Killer) to display with the POPs, but I don't know if they will blend well or stick out like the styilings in your picture. Thanks!

Ace looks great, I'm glad I preorderd him (from 1up, hope I'll receive it or there will be problems finding it at a good price). I wish they would have found a way to give him even a little flame, maybe on a finger or along the arm.

The more I look at that Ace the more I need to have him ;A; REALLY NICE quality shots of these guys Can't wait for that Laaaaaw
As mentioned….here is one photo of my Dressrosa shelf following todays unboxing..........Can't believe 12 months after first seeing the prototypes I finally have them displayed.........
Anyone have a close up of MSP Shanks?
Huh, I expected Cabbage to be taller.
Huh, I expected Cabbage to be taller.
It may just be the angle of the photo…...but yes, I'll agree of the 4 new arrivals he's probably the one i'm least amazed by, especially considering he was the most expensive........
Barto is hands down my favourite! The skin tone looked so much better irl then i'd seen in previous pictures. Now I just need to wait for Bellamy to hit the bargain sale.....Black Friday is on the 28th November (The day before Megahobby) so it may be a good chance to snag him before xmas!!
Glad I'm passing on Toy Solider, CB Rebecca, Fujitora, Sugar, Ace, Viola, Nami Mugi Ver.2, Law Ver.2.5 and the new CB-R1's...........
Only ones that could maybe tempt me would be Fuji & Viola........but I certainly won't pay full price for them...........Roll on POP Sabo for May!!
That Zoro and Aokiji bouyaaaaaaa awesome awesome man!
So on the right it should be Shanks MSP? no better pics?
damn HLJ for not putting Luffy on order yet
Sailing Again Law is 4000 yen on Hobby Search!
Ok Doujin thread is going to happen now XD
It's been done: http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=42034. Watch as it'll just be the 3 of us talking over there
WCF collectors can help me check if these are legit. Wanted to only unbox 2 figures to check but cannot hold myself back and unbox Vol.14 as well. Feel that Sengoku & Kizaru look weird.

I'd say they are legit. The problem is, the quality went down drastically after a certain point, resulting in WCF looking like cheap bootlegs sometimes. But still, the real bootlegs look far worse and usually come with tons of painting errors and stuff - so I think it's safe to say that yours are legit, but better get used to them looking like shit sometimes.

Glad to hear that they are legit. However, quality went down drastically? serious? I did not have the luxury to open up all my wcf. used to think that wcf has one of the best quality in terms of mini figures and that got me into starting wcf collection :blink: some of mine figures do look like cheap bootlegs though >.< so hard to differentiate them.

It definitely comes down to preference, but yeah, to me it went down drastically. In the past, they used to paint the skin - nowdays they simply use colored plastic, resulting in weirdly shining figures sometimes.

weirdly shining figures? i get your point. some really look :blink: when I opened them.

Pictures from recent fair
Is that Cry Heart vol. 3? I was not expecting that.
DRAMATIC SHOWCASE vol. 4 was what everyone guessed. I prefer the Ichiban Kuji, but seeing the prices of it, I might have to settle with this one. The sculpt looks almost identical.
And it's nice to see WCF going back to it's main line with Punk Hazard.
4k for the set luffy and shanks drama show,might worth it(if only he had the white shirt)
No monet, smiley for punk hazard wcf. Think that there is another volume at least.

Somewhere has them up for preorder already?
Got my first SCultures. (Cindry, Chopper and Jango) and they all look absolutely amazing. Hopefully more will be coming from this line I want. (even if Jango was a faff on with his coat)
Oh yeah I forgot, I got that SCultures NM Luffy, it's perfect, the actual colour is a little too dark under normal lighting but with some white LED's it really lit up the skin:
[hide][/hide]
I also really want a Corazon P.O.P.
A bit off topic but does anyone know where I can pre-order a Fujitora POP? I checked Mandarake and they don't have one.

I think its not out yet, you can pre-order from AmiAmi :

Crunchyroll has Fujitora for $93 with free shipping (use code SHINJI75): http://www.crunchyroll.com/store/p/113409/Excellent-Model-Portrait-Of-Pirates-One-Piece-Sailing-Again-Admiral-Fujitora-
You can't beat CrunchyRoll's price shipped on this one.
Creator x Creator:
Aokiji (05/2015) :
Zoro (06/2015)

Like what others have said, Amiami usually has the lowest price for JP stores and Crunchyroll is great since you live in the US. I'd personally wait though. He's still available on Amiami which runs the chance that he'll bargain bin. It's up to you though.
FYI, Manda doesn't sell preorders (they are preowned) and Fuji is not out yet so they don't have him.
Oooooooooo I like this new line, Creator x Creator. Based on the simple concept of "The Most Coolest Image", you have a tag team of photographer and sculptor to create this image. Both of these figures are definitely cool (but I prefer Kuzan because of the casual posture). So there will be a normal and rare color versions…I wonder if that'll be random.
Those folds, those wrinkles, that drapery! Ugh, I want a closer shot of Kuzan's coat to see the way it hangs off the chair, plus the inside details. Need to see Zoro's backside too. Damn those are some detailed fingers.
Wow, these are impressive. I wonder which scale and price will they be in.
I also really want a Corazon P.O.P.
As long as it's done better than their Dofla POP, yes, absolutely.
Those Creator x Creator figs are so nice! I really like the 'casual' setting for Kuzan.
No flash back characters for me thanks….......Bellemere w/ Nami & Nojiko was my limit and I only got Roger because he was 3,000 yen.......
Whilst setups like Fisher Tiger w/ CB Koala, or Corazon w/ CB Law would be great, i'm not going to invest in figures who's characters screen time was over in a handful of chapters.........
I'd rather have Kin'emon, Caesar Clown and Sabo...........maybe Baby-5 is she is done well!
MSP Shanks pictures, from amiblo.com
I was expecting something better… I dont know why, but the MSP line hasn't caught my attention at all. Law and Eren are the only ones I consider any good, but I have already enough of him.
Regular standing poses are just the way the line has to be, their huge and have to fit into a certain size box. When they step out of that you get bs like Levi where his gear was seperate. Shanks looks great and I bet his sword can be unsheathed. Ive been very happy with my MS purchases. The average size is 10 inches tall by 4 wide.
The details on the MSP are getting much better! Too bad the poses are still so static and boring.
Finally a good MSP. Bless Banpresto.
IMO the MSP line has always been pretty strong. Shanks is no exception. I've had enough of Law and Ace so this is a welcome sight.
