@kanji_xiii:

Well LIMITED Bon chan goes up for PO next month, and I expect CB-R3 to since they are slated for July release…....Zoro might go up as well........

I expect Sabo & Koalo will go up for PO in April/May, Miyazawa expo will be early April, but don't expect to see any new POP's now until Megahobby on May 30th........

Thanks for the info my friend!
Then i shall prepare myself for getting Bon chan from nippon yassan and Zoro as well, i'm interest in Vivi CBR actually as i didn't got the first version, still unsure, depending on the month of release and priority sigh wish to have more money and space for them…

I love the king of artist Law, he looks really like a boss!

Nice customs! No cut on the images is killing my poor old computer though

[Koginetsunemaru]

Afro Luffy is Golden!
I wished they would have made a POP of Afro Luffy, they really missed the Power of the Afro!

[ThreeSwordStyle]

Whew! Finally got a bit of money together and got some pre orders in. So now its as follows

POP Mild CB-R1 - Luffy
POP Mild CB-R1 - Sanji
POP Mild CB-R1 - Nico Robin
POP Mild CB-R2 - Nojiko

Cannot wait for them to start coming in, plenty of time to pre order the rest of the POP Milds this year. Still hoping they will re release the Luffy/Ace double pack and Sabo.

This will be the year of the kids for me this year, with only Koala and Sabo being the adult sized POPs I am after.

Yo, I really want to buy a really good looking Doflamingo POP for my friend's birthday. Something preferably in the 100 dollar range though I'm willing to go higher if it looks really good. Any recommendations?

You mean Doflamingo figure in general? There is only 1 POP….......

The POP is pretty great though:

[TLC]

That does look pretty good. Any site that gives a good deal with global shipping you can recommend?

[Trafalgar1209]

Looks like bandai is releasing the DX line and wcf line in the states only took them a few years to do that

[kanji_xiii]

@TLC:

Most places seem to be sold out now, since he was re-released over a year ago now. You're best bet might be Mandarake, but also try local online store as the box is quite big so could cost a lot in shipping from Japan.

[Spah]

Has there been any news about the release date for the Timeskip strawhat Nami pop or is it still "02 2015"?

[kanji_xiii]

@Spah:

According to Nippon Yasan, the official release date is 27th Feb…......so out in 10 days.........I expect they have already sent invoices.

I was recently billed for mine, but I probably won't have them in until early March because I have to import. You'll probably see her start popping up in some shops middle of next week.

yeesh that's creepy, is she supposed to be kneeling on coral?? What a weird pose.

@2D3Y:

Pictures from a prize event in Japan with Banpresto stuff. Looking forward to see more pictures of Mihawk and Law. Nami not so much…

Daw Mihawk and Law HOT DAMN. I have to have that Mihawk O_O ((so much for me cutting back on the figures XD))

[ThreeSwordStyle]

@2D3Y:

http://i.imgur.com/EgrUBql.jpg

No one is mentioning this? I missed out on getting the first brotherhood set. This looks pretty sweet. (Helps that the mrs likes Ace and Sabo too)

Im also hoping that we will see a re-release of the Ace/Luffy Mild Boxset and Sabo POP Mild as well. Also not too late to add Law as a POP Mild.

[SakugaSaga]

Nami's doing a pose while submerged in the ocean, that's why there's a bunch of coral there otherwise there would be nothing for her to be positioned on. I have a feeling that the sculpture wanted to focus on the line of her back and waist when designing this figure. The pose looks like a 2D pin-up illustration turned into a 3D sculpture.

[Koginetsunemaru]

I'm getting pumped up with all those Creator x Creator figures!

[Raithos]

@Miyuki:

I'm getting pumped up with all those Creator x Creator figures!

Mhm, the Aokiji and Mihawk are fantastic

[kanji_xiii]

Will we every reach page 500 of this thread? haha…...........

Slow news on OP, but Luffy and Chopper Figuarts Zero have been announced as the first releases in the new line.....too lazy to post pics.

[Lexiy]

Any news on when is the next prize fair?

[Koginetsunemaru]

So Zoro and the CBR will be up on March 5th and Bon Chan on the 13th?
i wanna be sure to not miss on them.

[kanji_xiii]

Hmmmm….......Don't know if i'm liking Zoro additional face...........another pass for me I think...........

Even Sabo & Koala aren't blowing me away…................looks like 88 DAYS UNTIL MEGAHOBBY EXPO

[DanMatrix]

New 15th anniversary FAZs have started going up, Luffy and Chopper. I don't see the point in re-releasing the Straw Hats with minor pose differences, I definitely won't be buying the set.

[Louis-1988]

Already sent out e-mails pertaining to the issue detailed below, but I'm posting it here as well just in case you haven't received yours for whatever reason.

Dear Customers,

As you know, recently we listed 3 different Limited Edition Portrait.Of.Pirates figures that have been out of print for a while for a second chance to our customers.

As you also may already know, we are an official distributor of MegaHouse Corporation, which means we receive all of our inventory directly from the manufacturer. Which is also why we received this opportunity to offer this to our customers, due to the fact that they discovered they still had a small amount of inventory remaining in one of their Tokyo warehouses. We had ordered and confirmed all of it as usual.

Yesterday, we received some very unfortunate news from MegaHouse as they were preparing to export them to us. The handlers of their subcontracting warehouse failed to notice some serious damage to the roof causing rain leaking. This resulted in all of their inventory intended for Kolektakon being damaged by rain.

We were extremely upset about this, because we never expect such things to occur at the top of the ladder. It's usually a courier that causes damage, if any.

MegaHouse Corporation issued us an apology letter to send to our customers to explain the situation. I've attached it to this email in .PDF format (readable with Adobe Reader and similar software). In their letter, you will find a summary of what I've just explained above.

Due to the damage in the MegaHouse subcontracting warehouse, and the fact that these are limited edition and no longer available, we have no way of acquiring additional units and unfortunately will not be able to fulfill these orders.

I sincerely apologize, everyone. I was really happy to be able to offer these to our customers again at the original price, but there was nothing I could do to prevent unforeseen events on MegaHouse's end.

We can only offer one of the following as an apology:

1. Full refund + $5 off next order or pre-order
2. Store Credit (for In Stock items
   ) in the amount you paid (plus $10 additional credit)

Please let us know which you prefer.

Again, I sincerely apologize.

Kolektakon

! 
Please e-mail us at shop@kolektakon.com about any additional questions or concerns you may have regarding the aforementioned issue.

[kanji_xiii]

Sorry to hear about your stock dude!! That truly sucks….....I imagine a lot of other stock was water damaged, a big loss to MH.....someones sure to get fired!!! lol

I guess Barto just got even more valuable!!.........until the next ver.2 lol

[richgrohl]

Anyone knows when is the release date for the reprint of SA Maximum Franky?

[kanji_xiii]

@richgrohl:

[kanji_xiii]

@richgrohl:

Yeah, he got delayed by a month…........

[LoveChopper]

Hmm Do you guys think that Mr 2 prices will drop after release? Don't know wanna po him or not. Worried that he will be another Bartolomeo

[Raithos]

@Louis-1988:

Thanks man… I'm super pissed about it myself!!! I'm just happy I could refund everyone.

At least you're transparent with your information and ready to offer solid options from the fallout. Excellent

[sasari]

Any chance you'll be restocking Mugiwara v.2 Nami Louis? Missed preorders and hoped to pickup on release

[ThreeSwordStyle]

Dammit Louis! I haven't finished pre ordering the last batch of POP Milds and you go and put another 3 up!

4 down, 7 to go.

[MaxGoof]

Yikes! What an expensive months will three more MILDs, Variable Ace, 10th Zoro, Mr. 2, and the 5th Anniversary FAZ Luffy and Chopper. Geez.

[Koginetsunemaru]

Do you think guys LAw ver.2 will be also pushed back or to be release at the end of the month?

[heatachysan]

Next DXF Brotherhood !

Nice, guess I'll be getting that

[kanji_xiii]

Man…...things are slow..........Really hoping Miyazawa Model Exhibition can make life interesting!! I make it about 4 weeks to go!!

We need some new announcements...........please don't be lazy and just give us more CB-EX and "10th LIMITED Ver." figures!!

I want to know what happened to Lao G......

How many more CB-EX figures can there possibly be? Other than Law, what other characters would anyone even buy?

Where do I start! You've got the Luffy, Ace, Sabo 'Brothers' re-release for starters. Then you've got all these references:

And then what about figures for Chibi Koala and Shirahoshi?? I'm sure there's more. Megahouse is running out of ideas now, so getting figures of any of these wouldn't surprise me!

[SilverWind]

Hello everyone. So I'm thinking about selling one of my POPs soon. Good condition and everything, only ever displayed. I know of course that I can use the selling thread here. But do you all have any other recommendations? What are some good (and safe) ways to sell? I wanna see and weigh my options. Selling here is probably what I'll do, but I have a feeling it won't go that quickly. Thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately, there aren't many places left to sell these figures. I've been using this selling thread for ages now, and I haven't had any luck whatsoever. You could try mfc, but it won't really make much of a difference. And then if you're located in the US, you could try eBay, but I wouldn't really recommend that tbh.

Either way, good luck.

Yeah, at this point, their prices are soo low and the yen is soo weak that if you want to sell fast you need to undercut the Mandarake prices severely…................

Follow this link: http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/search.do?searchStrategy=keyword&action=keyword&doujin=all&keyword=pop find the price the last 2/3 POP's your trying to sell sold for (not ones that are still available) and then either offer it for 20% less or include free international shipping…..........either way, i'd be very surprised if you can sell it for enough to cover the cost of shipping lol, let alone break even!! haha

Like Keith said "good luck", you'll need it!! Seeing POP's selling for $10-$20 now........it's insane!!

I wish they'd finish CP9, I got all the ones they released and then they just .. you know .. stopped

[sasari]

I find often the problem with buying or selling in this hobby is that sellers expect to get a lot more than you can grab pieces of Mandarake regularly…
