Grats Dan! I have her too, she's a beauty! One of my favorite Nami figures.

Seconded about the Ichiban Kuji Girls Collection 2 Nami, I think she's quite underrated. She's the only Nami figure I currently keep long term. Beats the POP SA Nami any day for me.
-
Opinions obviously differ but to me this Nami just looks atrocious.
Boobs aside, I think there are way better ones out there especially when it comes to face/hair.Guess it really is her hair that bugs me the most on this one

Just got my invoice from amiami for WCF MUGIWARA Vol.2!! Finally!
In the end, the total for Vol.1 & 2 + MEGA Sunny was 12,080 yen including shipping. That's about 5,000 yen cheaper than Manda!
Downside now is i've gotta pay for them to be forwarded from US to UK, hopefully that comes out at under $40, otherwise i'll have waited an extra month just to break even ^^
Seems there's no cheap way of getting WCF figures these days, I guess it just is what it is!
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I swear this dude just bought both of these that came up on Mandarake the other day for 25K each and has listed them both on eBay today for double:

Anyone know when is the next BWFC tournament? I looking up to katakuri this year

You talking about the Banpresto Figure Colosseum? If so, I don't know, the last time they had some Chinese sculptors and none of them looked good. Hopefully they go back to using the normal sculptors because this is one of the only lines I get excited to see new figures for.

As i see from the website, the 2017 chinese sculptors is making nami, and i think it's not so good, and the chinese sculptors this year will be making katakuri…hope it will be good
-
My problem with the Banpresto Figure Colosseum is it stopped being about unique characters in fun poses and just 'Popular Char in Pose' once it became the usual suspects over and over and over again I just stopped buying them.
Needs to have a rule that removes Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Law and Ace at the very least.
-
I agree with you… Every year,character like luffy,sanji & nami always in the competition, we need a fresh character
Even this year there'll be 2 ussopp in BWFCI hope there'll be jozu / magellan / cracker in the BWFC line
-
There are too many figures that deserve decent representation. One of Oda's strongest talents is being able to create so many vivid characters!!
That is part of the reason I recently switched to collecting WCF last year!!
Still got my fingers crossed for a Carrot POP at MEGAHOBBY!

When is the next Megahobby?
-
Finally my copy of a first printing edition of One Piece volume 1 arrived yesterday
!
I bought this over a year ago but my contact in japan just send it to me. Soon hopefully the second part of all Shonen Jump editions of 2017 should arrive as well. -
When is the next Megahobby?
Not until November sadly, so still a 3 month wait!
It is Tokyo C3 this weekend, where we sometimes see painted prototypes, but haven't heard anything yet on that new Zoro!
-
Usually i'm not into resin figures but this 60cm Akainu is beyond madness of epicness.
French language in video sorry for that :
( i was not sure if someone post it here already )
-
Customs are getting better and better all the time. And the companies are branching out into more lines.
Everyone seems to be on the custom WCF BB pirates bandwagon now!
SAILING AGAIN FOR THE NEW WORLD
-
the fact we dont even have the BB crew as WCF yet is a joke in itself. I'm also waiting on the Little Garden set for the rest of Baroque Works. XD
Actually bought a OP figure again. The Nami Diamond version 2 to go with the Tank Girl Robin version out next year.
-
-
Honestly she's really nice. I just dont know If I can justify another Hancock figure considering she hasn't appeared in forever.
-
My contact in Japan who bought the Jump issues for me, gifted me a Franky tank assembly kit:
-
That reminds me of those old armored core kits I used to get. Good times.

Another Chopper P.O.P? Well I guess it'll make me buy one. Assuming it's new.
Also Nami Diamond Flag Code B is a thing. I like her more than the first one. She actually stands up.
-
I wonder what the “OT” stands for on that Chopper?

WCF One Piece Zodiac Vol 1
Thanks for the share! Guessing that Mansherry can ride on Dragon Momo's back.
Not sure how I feel about the aesthetics of this set, but I guess i'm just not a huge fan of the color spread. Let's wait and see how it looks completed in Feb with Vol.2's Luffy, Farul, Big Mom, Inuarashi, Marco & Califa.
Right now I'm more excited to find our what this -BATTLE OF LUFFY WHOLE CAKE ISLAND- set will contain! Not more Luffy Vs Katakuri surely!
-
Another unprofessional review from myself. Please enjoy!
-
What did I say?? Cracker and Tankman Luffy!! Can't wait!!

WCI Vol.2 out today!! I can't wait for mine to ship from d.d.d.shop:

Yep, I would say so.
First one I seen for sale was on Rakuten for 7,560 yen, but with shipping + forwarding services you're looking at around 10K:
https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/aromacoffee/item/bp-opwh26/?l-id=rgm_search_en_rvp_widgetPrices on Big Mom are already crazy!
-
Paid my POP Capone Bege invoice this week. £117 shipped!! Looks like the Yen/Sterling conversion is really bad again. I remember the days when it was 200 yen to the £. Alas, not anymore!
Regardless, really excited for Bege. I'm pleased he comes with alternate arms, something i've missed with the recent MAXIMUMS.
Decided to pass on Whitebeard & Sanji, so this will be it for me now until Katakuri in December
Anyone else getting more POP's this year?
SAILING AGAIN FOR THE NEW WORLD
-
Didnt even notice Bege went up for pre-order nevermind out XD It feels like the POPs are going under the radar now. I'd like him but just cant justify that much. It makes me wish Banpresto was offering better as I'd love to own one figure of him
-
I've ordered from Amazon CB-R versions of Franky (17€) and Usopp (26€). I was tempted by Bartolomeo Limited at 80€ but at the moment I prefer to wait on him and at most buy some cheap CBs.
No way I'm gonna preorder new POPs, especially Maximums. I hope their value will decrease in future, and more than that I wish the line will get back to glorious days. -
The glory days died around 2012-2013. Now, it's Luffy, half-naked Nami, half-naked Nami, half-naked Hancock, Luffy, half-naked Nami, and half-naked Robin.

To be honest, I feel like the situation is improving ever so slightly. Even if they're expensive the new Jinbe, Katakuri and especially Capone are steps in the right direction - and they're probably the most stunning POPs ever.
I also preordered Capone, so looking forward to that. I always appreciate some love for characters, that don't look cool in the classical way.
I hope we see some new characters at the next Megahobby as well, I am really surprised there's no Carrot and Pudding yet. Don't know if and how they'll handle Big Mom, though because of the great design I would also love a Perospero POP. Other than the WCI arc it would also be nice if they'd stop ignoring Punk Hazard (Caesar, Monet, Vergo, TS Smoker, TS Tashigi…).
I got myself the Sadie POP this week. Kinda weird character choice, but the figure looks really nice.

I agree on both perspectives! We are a long way from the glory days, especially if you are paying attention to all the BB stuff, but to be honest, at this point they don't even register as Portrait of Pirate figures any more. They are just a side line, like DB Gals.
The only figures i'm seeing are G4 Luffy, Law Vs, Jinbe, Capone Bege, Whitebeard, Sanji, Katakuri, Hancock, Zoro, etc. To me, that is a really great line-up, even if they aren't monthly anymore, MH are still producing really great figures.
I'm actually really grateful for the slowdown, as it's given me time to fall back in love with articulated figures, which I was a big fan of before!
-
The problem is that even "minor" characters are sold at excessively high prices:
- Capone at 13'000 yen
- Perona CB at 7'400 yen (!!!)
- Cavendish at 11'000 yen
- Luffy ver 20th at 9'250 yen
- Sengoku at 12'400 yen
and I don't take Maximum in consideration. I know that prices have risen for all the market and not only for POPs, but how do they expect people to spend 11'000+ yen for a figure when just some years ago a similar one cost 7'000/8'000 yen?
I know these are luxury items, so who can afford them will buy them anyway, but I think they could have managed better the situation if they wanted to keep the line going at the old pace.
-
It's scary knowing that the original POPs were like 3000 yen each. Even the Strong World ones were rarely over 5,500. I think even SA-Franky was like 12,000 or something wasn't he?

Figures in the Maximum line are:
2012 - Kid 12'000 yen
2013 - Franky 15'000 yen
2013 - Shiki 13'000 yen
2015 - Franky 16'000 yen
2017 - Luffy G4 15'555 yen
2018 - Jinbe 18'500 yen
2018 - Whitebeard 18'500 yen
2018 - Katakuri 17'500 yen
2019 - Boa 20'000 yen
2019 - Zoro ??? yenTo me Kid felt unnecessary as a Maximum, but I bought it because I love Supernovae and wanted them all (…) and when it arrived it felt worth the enormous amount of money I paid for it (120€ at the time, shipment included, thanks to 1up and his GrandLine Shop... wow, who could forget).
Same went with Franky, I started buying POPs because I wanted the whole crew (and then it escalated way too quick and to the whole serie :ninja:) and even though I wasn't happy paying that much when he arrived I felt like it was the right choice.
I did preorder Luffy G4 because I loved his appearence and pics were great, but when I saw his dimensions they were a delusion to me for the price, so I canceled my preorder.
Then the like kept going and now it feels too much. It should have been one Maximum in a while, now it feels as new characters are only Maximum. I know Zoro and Boa will sell (and they look beautiful), but I would have prefered to see Big Mom and Kaidou, characters who effectively are maximum in size.Prices and the focus of the line went up from Neo to DX, from DX to SA and now it seems from SA to Maximum with some Limited in between. Bandai manages the market and its price target lines, even Figuarts had an unnecessary rise in price, so did Banpresto figures and Megahouse ones. Everything has been shifted up one level, but I feel like this has reduced client base (at least outside of Japan).
-
Funko Pop Brook figure is a New York Comic Con and Hot Topic Exculsive.
-
Rather annoying that I have to track down an exclusive to complete the crew. I do have a hot topic in town so hopefully it won't be an issue. Thanks for the heads up.
-
Agreed. Hate them practises. I think the Hot Topic ones end up being really common in the UK tho? Not sure. I'll gladly help anyone if they are after these
-
How does anyone here afford collecting POPs? I'll trade…
-
The prototypes are up in the website https://banprestowfc.com/bwfc2018-op/
All of them are great. I really like Luffy & Jinbe, but of course the one I'm getting is
-
Holy shit, i had already given up on a good Dressrosa Usopp!! That's an insta-buy for me!
-
Love that Don Krieg of all people is getting a figure. Reminds me of earlier ones where we got the likes of Jango, Cindry, Paulie etc. I think this only leaves Robin and Franky without a Collo figure right? I honestly thought Robin was in this one as the Banpresto Collo twitter was really hyping her as of late.
-
Well it looks like I'm not getting the Funko Brook NYCC exclsuive from Hot Topic, my sister follows the local store on Instagram. They announced their opening an hour early tomorrow, giving out tickets to people in line to get into the store and then each person can buy up to 5 of each exclusive…........5 per person. Their going to sell out in 15 minutes and from what my sister has been reading its just re-sellers that come and wipe out the inventory every time. Absolutely pathetic. So unless no one cares about Brook and One Piece I highly doubt I will find one since I can't get there till after work.
