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...

That is awesome!!!
Writing up an article on the history of P.O.Ps and dear god its quite sobering seeing not only the prices of the original line to the current ones but also the huge fall from grace Megahouse seemed to have. Although could point out that lines such as Nendoroid and Figma took the casual collectors away, and the rise of Attack on Titan knocking One Piece out of the limelight for that year or two its sad seeing them going from having releases every month of unique characters (although with a ton of limiteds in) to purely fanservice with the S.O.C, I.R.O and B.B lines, although was it the unique characters that killed it? I mean I can STILL find the likes of Arlong, Killer, Kid, Shilliew and Rob Lucchi (Leopard form) for dirt cheap at almost every con I go to.

Not only megahouse but the whole collecting changed, megahouse was great before 2013 then it started to get worst and it really stopped making me wanna buy portrait of pirates.recently the only one i bought are Zoro and Law SOC, but i don't find the SOC line to be compared with BB line, i mean the pose are really cool unlike the BB line being outrageous and disrespectful, now it looks like they cater to collectors that want girls with boobs and big butt.
Megahouse usually do the whole crew or at least the most demanding pop of every movie, film Z was never finished and we got no film Gold at all.
On Top of that they started making their figure only for JApanese market, pricier and also bigger so international fans has to pay expensive shipment.When you want to buy POP from your country seller the price are twice as expensive as the original, for example Jinbei is 250€ without shipping in my country, total madness.
I wish One Piece get another figure maker to care about figures at decent price with great quality but it seems that in the end they all care about milking the sh*t out of us…I'm just sticking with banpresto but again sometimes they mess up their product as they are just prize figures...
I can't lie, even though I'm excited for Jinbe, the fact it's gonna cost me around £180 does take the shine off. I mean given the complete lack of accessories, alternate hands, faces, etc. it really is a lot to ask for a 1/8 scale fixed statue.
Bege on the other hand I'm a bit happier with since we have some alternative display options.
Reiju was another cash grab unfortunately. If the first figure wasn't enough, the BB one takes Megahouse to an all new low.
It's like Cyber-Robin said though, they've lost the casual collectors, their remaining audience is a) hardcore collectors (willing to pay the $$$ for original, accurate representations) and b) ecchi fans
I guess I fall into group a). Although I'm disappointed that our next legit figure will be a new Whitebeard, that will likely cost more than Jinbe!!
I may have to pass and cross my fingers for Pedro or SSJ Carrot!!
Another shameless WCF photo dump. Did some rearranging so I could get as many figures as possible in my cases. All that's missing are the Vinsmoke set and Attack set. I really think I'm gonna have to give up my DBZ case.
Your collection is so cool!
Your collection is so cool!
Damn mugi chan! That means a lot! Much appreciated!
I'm always trying to improve how i display my figures.
Still hoping I can dedicate more money and space to the hobby one day, but for now these display cases and my attic full of POP's will have to do

You're welcome!! I think you displayed them great and I really enjoyed looking at your pictures.
I can totally relate to your wish to spend more money on them as well as having more space, I have the same dilemma. And I'm still missing so many old figures, all I can do is to buy them one after another. I didn't like WCF at first but now I totally dig them, even more after seeing your collection. .
Thanks again man! I'm getting really hyped for the WCF Whole Cake Island Vol.1 set and already wondering who we could get for a Vol 2 & 3. Here are my hopes:
Vol.2: Cracker, Brulee, Tamago, Pekoms, Jinbe, Sanji
Vol.3:Big Mom, Katakuri, Smoothie, Perospero, Bege, Carrot (Sulong transformation)
Also, on the subject of Cracker, another great custom:
My package full of Banpresto goodies finally came, only took a month and a half…...woo. Guess the holidays messed it up, most SAL packages take 3 weeks for me, sometimes 2.
My new favorite WCF Robin! From the 20th anniversary set 2.
Diamond Flag Ship Nami. Not liking this line that much, both Nami and Boa Hankock have the same issues mainly the head/neck. Either the head is to small or the neck is too big, they just look odd and do not connect well. The Glitter and Glamours line is far superior but it seems they have switched to this now. Its cool that their more stylized, something different at least. Lots of fan service in this line heh.
!
!
!
Yikes I dunno about that Nami. Was considering getting her if I saw her but maybe not XD
Anyways I finally did another OP figure video, been a while. I have some ongoing projects I hope to share with you guys soon relating to OP so huzzah I guess XD
Nice to see you back on the video reviews Cyber. I love how consistent you still are with getting Robin and Chopper merch pretty much exclusively XD
Found out today that the 51st prize fair has been announced for 9th Feb: http://blog.livedoor.jp/hayate2s-fig/archives/51416039.html
I really hope they show us these new One Piece WCFs!!
thanks. I dont even buy much Robin/Chopper anymore because we don't get as many of those. Money seems to go to all of the other series instead (especially if they have a Figma/Nendo)
Yeah, it's crazy the lack of merch. I got a promotion 9 months ago, so money is actually good now and it's sods law there is nothing to spend it on XD
I was looking at WCF customs recently and saw this upscale of Hajrudin. It got me thinking about a potential Big Mom Mega! Imagine it! Like Mega Whitebeard scale, and then you could get Napoleon, Zeus and Prometheus separate and add them on, like the Mini Merry/Attack set!!
I'm desperate for some Charlotte family merchandise, but there's just nothing.
Im freaking out here! Too much stuff to mention, but looks like we are getting a new Mega! And a whole cake vol2!

Also a BB Rebecca??!!
So just to highlight some of the stuff i'm excited about. (Sorry for those interested in the G&G and Flag Diamond Ship figures)
May
One Piece World Collectable Figure - Treasure Rally II - T
One Piece World Collectable Figure - Treasure Rally II - C
One Piece World Collectable Figure - Treasure Rally II - B
One Piece World Collectable Figure - Treasure Rally II - A
Still no idea what these are going to be. The last one was a mashup of Strong World and Heart of Gold with some random DF's. I am slightly intrigued.
June
One Piece World Collectable Figure - Whole Cake Island Vol.1
You already know how hyped I am for this. It will have been 10 months since the Vinsmoke set, so about time we get some figures from the current arc.
July
One Piece World Collectable Figure - MUGIWARA 56 Vol.1
One Piece MEGA World Collectable Figure SPECIAL !!
Portrait.Of.Pirates One Piece "LIMITED EDITION" Nami New Ver.
Now these really surprised me! First of all I get that the number 56 is a pun on the word "go-mu", which is why we see it appear often in the series, but what relevance does it here? Could this be the set with the Oda fish head character we saw previously? Then there's the MEGA "SPECIAL" whatever that means! I have dreamed of a MEGA Big Mom, and I honestly can't think of any colour spreads that contain anything that could be a MEGA. To me it makes sense and I think it would be amazing!! Also appears the new Nami POP has been moved up to July.
August
One Piece World Collectable Figure - MUGIWARA 56 Vol.2
Another volume the following month. Still none the wiser. Maybe we'll find out more after next weeks Prize Fair.
September
One Piece World Collectable Figure - Whole Cake island Vol.2
Portrait.Of.Pirates One Piece "SOC" Capone "Gang" Bege
Vol.2 coming 3 months after the first! Amazing! We don't know who will be in it, but my previous speculation was that it would be based on the Seducing Wood, so we could see Cracker and Brulee along with some homies and maybe another Luffy! The hype is real!! Additionally, SOC Bege has been pushed back to September. Lets hope we see it painted at WonFes.
October
Portrait.Of.Pirates One Piece "NEO-MAXIMUM" "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate
November
Portrait.Of.Pirates One Piece "LIMITED EDITION" Nefertari Vivi Ver.BB 2
December
Portrait.Of.Pirates One Piece "LIMITED EDITION" Rebecca Ver.BB
Not much to say about these. We've only seen a silhouette of the new Whitebeard, perhaps we'll see more at WonFes. If the price is going to be more than Jinbe I will have to pass. Vivi getting a 2nd BB sculpt is no great surprise and now they've added Rebecca to the roster. There must be close to 20 BB's now! smh XD
Still no idea what these are going to be. The last one was a mashup of Strong World and Heart of Gold with some random DF's. I am slightly intrigued.
Found this picture so you must be right:
Found this picture so you must be right:
Oh nice! Where did you find that?? I managed to find the site! They also had a better picture of the Kochime set:
I guess if these sets are anything like the last ones we can expect 3 like this with different DF fruits, and then a 4th set with a couple alternative characters instead of Zoro & Chopper.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Ultimate Team have added a Katakuri and Smoothie to their roster:
The Glitter and Glamours are just shiny repaints and the diamond flag ship line is rather disappointing. Next is Robin, then another Nami so soon, then Reju and finally Vivi. So a new line and the same characters as GG. Really would have loved more from the GG line like Tashigi or Rebecca, even the new female characters. Shirahoshi was a nice surprise at least, can't wait to receive her.
I guess it's inevitably. I mean look at the 2017 character poll. Out of the 100, 24 were female and only 12 of these made the top 50:
Nami
Hancock
Robin
Reiju
Perhona
Vivi
Carrot
Pudding
Shirahoshi
Tashigi
Koala
Rebecca
It's sad that even once popular females like Kalifa, Jewelry Bonney & Sadi-chan have been relegated. I guess thats why we're not seeing a Kalfa BB repaint/ 2.0 from Megahouse anytime soon.
I think we're starting to see more Perona merch lately, which is nice and of course Reiju & Pudding are everywhere given the current manga/anime events.
Carrot is an interesting one as I know there is a lot of bunny girl fanservice in Japan, but they're usually humans in costume. Given that Carrot is actually a human/animal hybrid, any attempt to over sexualise might be quite disturbing.
Anyway, when you take the more recent additions out of the equation you're once again left with the usual suspects, Nami, Hancock, Robin, Vivi, Shirahoshi, Tashigi, rinse and repeat!!
It's starting to get old, but hey, that's why we have World Collectible Figures. Since they are so cheap to produce they can practically make anyone and it would make a return.
I have a question for you all regarding proxies, my sister is very interested in some Pokemon Center goods but it has been so long since I used a proxy I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations or advise please? Is Kolektakon still in business, looks like nothing has been updated in a year? I know the US has a Pokemon Center website but they don't ship to Canada and do not currently have what she wants to pre-order. So anything is appreciated thanks.
Carrot was in the Sexy calender this year in a swimsuit. Its not like Megahouse DONT have the opportunity to use that XD
Why don't they just go the whole hog and give us a BB Big Mom from the Sexy Calender as well! I might actually buy that!!
Dunno if this Robin has been posted or not
Not sure on the face on that one. The closed eyes one looks fine but open looks a bit goofy. for the price they want im really not convinced
What's the crack with the WCF Treasure Rally sets anyway?
Is it basically banprestos idea of re-release the Strong World mugiwara that are now 40K+ on aftermarket?
They basically re-released Luffy, Nami, Franky & Shiki in set 1, and with Set 2 we're getting at the least Zoro and Chopper. I guess we'll see Usopp, Sanji, Robin & Brook by the end of a Set 3. That just leaves the alternate straw hat costumes and remaining Gold Lion crew/monster army which i doubt need a re-up.
Anyway, I just picked up the Thousand Sunny since I don't have any ships in my WCF collection and it seemed like a good place to start.
I got the Hot > Cold Nico Robin today as found it cheap. It's…. kinda weird the way it works. I'll do a full video on it soon

I'm quite interested in seeing that, picked the diamond ship Nami over her since they came out at the same time.
So it's that time again! Prize Fair is tomorrow!! Will there be new announcements?? Will WCF Whole Cake Vol.1 be revealed?? Will photography of One Piece items be forbidden…..again!!?? Tune-in to find out!!
http://hobby.dengeki.com/prizefair/
So i'm so disappointed right now! After last prize fair, banpresto appear to be pulling the same crap!!
We get to see a bunch of dragon ball merch, including july and august world collectibles, but do they show anything for one piece!! Do they ffff!
We still haven't even seen the whole cake island vol.1 set that is due in JUNE!! That's only 4 months away! I'm getting fed up now!!

Pedro the rare one
It's a shame AmiAmi won't ship prize figures to Europe. Yeah, I can find most of them here now, but I'm not going to pay half the price of a WCF set for a single figure.

Yeah, I feel ya. Luckily most of the more recent sets i've either wanted all or none. I've pretty much accepted that 1,000 yen per figure is the cheapest i'll ever find them for. Doesn't sound like much, but now with a collection of over 100 it's certainly adds up.
Anyway, i'm loving the look of this set. Particulay Brook & Pedro who I don't think have had any other WCI merch. I'm also still intrigued by this Mugiwara 56 set and the MEGA special…....exciting times ahead!!
The Funko POPs One Piece series 2 is out, the store I went to only had Nami and Boa but those are the 2 I wanted the most anyways. Still need to hunt down Zoro and Franky. Boa has a black dot under her nose that I need to clean up but their quite nice. Love how Boa's dress and earrings are metallic/shiny.
Glitter & Glamours Shirahoshi came earlier this week, pretty nice though smaller then I had hoped.

Nice pickups DanMatrix. My daughter started collecting Disney Funko POP's, but I never really looked into the anime one's much. I know a few guys who collect the DBZ ones.
Got a new WCF pickup the other day. Hack, the revolutionary fishman, and he was a steal!! To get Hack from Japan is 4,500 yen (£30): http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1075728640&ref=list
but I managed to find one locally for £3!!!: https://bluecyborg.com/H009182–1
Currently waiting on Mansherry, orange dress Rebecca and Grand Fleet captains Sai, Leo, Hajrudin, Ideo, Barto & Cabbage.

Lol! I see your collection has grown quite a bit over the last few months. If you're not careful, you'll end up with hundreds of the damn things just like me.

Haha. It sure has! I'm still sticking to my guns and only getting post-timeskip canon characters. No pre-timeskip, no flashback, no filler, no movies.
To be honest I think i'm nearly there. There are still the tertiary characters like the caribou brothers, madam shyarly and the ryugu princes, etc. that I might get, but other than that i'm just looking forward to new sets.
I'm just thankful that I'm not as big of a dragon ball fan anymore and have zero desire to pay the crazy prices those go for. Although this display is quite inspirational. Kind makes me want to do a OP equivalent.
Hello all, does anyone buy from europe here? Or know any european stores that sell cheap figures from One piece WCF? I find a few American stores but the shipping expenses are too much..
I buy from mandarake in japan a lot but it doesnt have them all..
Thanks

I am in europe. Which WCF's in particular are you looking for? I'll tell you now, it's no easy task trying to build a collection as these are prize figures that only get one (albeit massive) production run and aren't sold in retail stores.
My collection so far has taken me 6 months of "hunting" to amass. I've primarily used the following sites:
http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/
http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/
http://amiami.com/ (pre-owned)
https://global.rakuten.com/en/
https://www.ebay.co.uk/
Sometimes you'll find "random" sites that have a few rare sets available. I've found such sites in Russia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. just by trawling google search results. It all depends exactly what figures you're looking for.
You're unlikely to find all the figures at one store and be prepared to be quick when using pre-owned sites. Just this morning Mandarake had some very rare sets that sold out in seconds!!
http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/listPage/serchKeyWord?categoryCode=00&keyword=wcf
Dressrosa 2, Zou, Vinsmokes, Iron Pirates…..........all gone

nothing in particular, but as much as i can find of couse. Started collecting in septemper when i travelled to tokyo, fell in love with the WCF collection and now i cant stop.
I have already 30 or 40 figures but all mixed up, i dont normally buy full sets since i dont want all of them normally, im looking to have 1 figure of each character, no more than that.
so u mean i have to day all days to mandarake to see the new releases? i go there normally 2 or 3 times a week..
thank you for the reply

With Mandarake you can setup alerts so you get e-mailed whenever there is anything new. That being said, in most cases it's already sold out by the time you get the e-mail XD
I got into the habit of checking Manda 3/4 times a day. Mostly in the morning and lunchtime.
You can always pay the eBay prices if you are impatient. Most of the sets are available there, but they are typically double the price you'll find on Manda. I decided to play the long games since my currently collection has cost me around £1,000 I didn't want to spend more!
There is also Yahoo Auctions Japan along with other Japanese sites like suguru, but if you aren't buying in big bulk orders it's not usually worth the proxy fees and extra hassle.
Good Luck!!

Imagine all of those plus all of the OP WCFs and you've got mine. Fortunately, about 90% of them are still unopened. I'm hoping to buy a house later this year and set something up, but until I'll just keep hoarding them. It sounds like you've got a good a strategy so far, but good luck sticking to it!

Awesome news about the house. I really look forward to seeing your display once you have room to put them!!
Tbh, there is so little to collect these days that I may very well cave. I've already started on the ships with the WCF Sunny-Go on its way XD
At least I still have POP Jinbe next month to look forward to!!! Can't wait! May need to dedicate a display case to this:
