That IK Dofla looks creepy as hell, in a bad way…. If only they released his Double Chance version as a regular one....
The Law one looks better than the POP. At least on the lower body department.

love both versions of Robin. But yeah prefer her original design more. My issue with Robin isn't her looks but how she (and to a lesser extent Nami, Chopper and Brook) just seem to have very little purpose in the series anymore. And she's essentially became the target to go down in order to make others look better.
I so agree with you. Oda should have let Robin fight Trebol in a single fight, not turn her into a toy off panel…. Neither should have let her fight only fooder on FI. She used to be a great fighter, the right hand of a Shichibukai, with a misterious personality. Now she is just another pair of boobs.... I'm so disappointed...
Same goes for the other SH you mentioned. Oda should have let Chopper heal Mika and not be a mere nurse to Law.... Brook can do so much more, but he has been MIA since FI and Nami has always been so underrated by Oda, that it just hurts. SH are being left aside for Sabo, Law, Rebecca (although she has proved equally useless) and on a lesser extent Kinnemon.
This SoldBadguy is sick!!!
I don't see the difference with the amiami exclusive but damn he looks great!
It took me like 40 minutes to see the difference, which is the weapon…

Working hard to make this a reality for you guys! Hopefully by this time next year Kolektakon will be manufacturing its own officially licensed 1/8 and 1/10 scaled figures!
That's awesome!!! Best of luck!!
I want them to finish the Z line before doing another set of SH. Z POPs are the best representation of the characters in POP form so far. Mustache Usopp and Red Afro Brook would be awesome to have. I guess Nami is too dressed up for MH liking, because I don't understand why she hasn't made an appearance yet…
And as for what POPs would MH do if they don't do Dresrossa SH? They have plenty of Doflamingo family members still to do. Pica, Trebol, Diamante, Dellinger, Gladius, Señor Pink, Jora, Machvise, and if they are not too old for MH, Monet, Vergo and Buffalo. Also a new Doflamingo seems plausable too.
Out of the non Donquixote members, we have Burgess, human Kyros, Koala, Don Chinjao, tontatta people, all the colloseum fighters that are helping Luffy right now, and the future characters from the current flashback. They could even do a MAS Ucy for all I know. We got Lao G and childBecca after all... I have a hard time believing any of the named characters are a sure no. They are trying hard to forget anything pre Dresrossa exists, so I think they would rather do Señor Pink or Abdubllah and Jeet than Ceaser, Sentomaru, Buggy or Magellan.
Oh, sorry about creating confusion then! I guessed wrong.
I still want my Kaku, so no refunds for me!
About the issues with Marco and Kaku, I just got a message from Kolektakon that they have been delayed (by the supplier I guess), so maybe 1Up is in the same situation. Who knows….
I'm definitely dislaying them with Rebecca sleeping on Soldier leg. Nice !
Which looks totally awkward since her legs are all straight up. I'm gonna pass on them until they hit the bargain bin.
I think it matters, it's like Vivi backstory with Koza, many people hate on Rebecca from what i've read but i think she is worthing her role in this arc as well.
she did at least more than Fujitora lol
Really? What did she do? Give Luffy a meal….
Hm, I remember how FAZ faced the firing squad on the forum not too long ago, yet upcoming releases has people fawning over them in eager anticipation once again. What gives? It's not like the company changed or anything. I'm not trying to bash the line, but surely we've had enough disappointment already?
I believe they have improved the quality, but basically since MH is skipping all the cool characters to do stupi figures like Bellamy, Lao G or childBecca, people has started to look at FAZ with different eyes. They have Buggy, Jozu, Magellan, Hanniabel, etc, and out of the new arcs, they have done Tashigi, Smoker, Ceaser, Baby 5 and now a new Dofla, Lucy and a new Robin, and the regulars Fujitora, Rebecca, Bartolomeo, etc. Their character choice is more on point than MH's IMHO.
Out of that list, Akainu is the one I'm looking forward the most. I loved DPCFs and this new Archive line seems to be it's spiritual successor (and cannon by the way!! If only they had released Ivankov….).
IK is also doing a Dressrosa Kuji. Announced figures are Doflamingo and Lucy. I'm anticipating them more than the FAZ ones. I want a new Dofla to pair with the SA Shichibukai POPs (it's the only way I could justify keeping both Boas, Mihawks and Laws...). I like the last Kuji Double Chance look more, but I don't think that's never gonna make it into my collection.... I hate double chance prizes.... Sanji in Nami's body was my dreamed figure, but 100k yen for it? No thank you!!
Also, this reminds me I still need to hunt Tashigi, Smoker, Ryuma, SA Kid, SA Killer, Oz, Bonnie (thinking on replacing her POP with this one... the croaching pose is nice, but is so hard to displace), PH Nami (to replace the SA POP, or that was my original thought before the awesomeness that's Nami Migiwara 2), attacking Luffy (to replace his SA version) and the dioramas of Childhood and Memories, just because they are awesome!! Damn you IK, why are you so hard to find!! (I can't order from Mandarake, got banned 2 years ago when I was in a bad place... Maybe I should contact Crease...)
So I picked up a couple volumes of Hunter x Hunter a few weeks ago.

A couple? That's like the entire collection….
Viola Figuarts Zero official pics. She's coming out in October.
The has the same emotionless expresion than the POP, but the body is soooo much better…..
Also Baby 5 FAZ is out.
… as someone who has plans to get into manufacturing soon himself …
Wait, what?!? Can you elaborate that?
As for AForce, I know they are ilegal, but I kinda like their accesories line (mostly). I know it's wrong, but…
How good are the quality for large Ichiban Kuji figures? Like the sculpt and paint jobs. Would you say that they tend to be better than crane game prizes?
I really like Ichiban Kuji big prizes. Their sculpt is usually spot on (way better than POPs, mostly), but the paint job is not as good as the MH counterparts. Most of the cases, the painting is better than any prize figure I own (SCultures and GLC). If you stay away from the minor prize figures (D-F), you should be pleased…. Best part is their scale is really close to POPs, so they fit quite well together.
@Al!naJames:
I'm glad you guys enjoyed my review of Nami ^^ Whoever decides to get her in the end will be happy with it, I'm sure!
Got some more figures today!
Ichiban Kuji Killer - very good! Sexy sculpt and quality is pretty nice for the final product (as usual for Kuji)

Is the Supernova's set already out? I want that Killer and Kid…. Time to hunt YAJ again....
Would someone be interested in something like this?
Also, Kaku's been out for some days now. Here's the box:
It sucks that the best sculpt of Nami post timeskip is the one with her dressed as Luffy. The SA looks a little off, and I am so glad I never got the Crimin version as its looks so bad. Guess I am going to have to wait a while to get her.
I don't care about Luffy's outfit. That Nami looks so promising that nothing will stop me from getting her (unless final product or painting screws her up). Hopefully they will do an aniversary version of Luffy with another outfit, so I can replace SA Luffy so the clothes will not be that much of an issue.
I have a feeling that I'd be both mesmerized and disgusted by what Akiba has to offer.
I'm pretty sure you would. I remmeber seeing DvD that look like pedohile's heaven. I don't know what the content was, but they advertised what look like to be teen girls in swimsuits…. I don't know Japanese, so maybe they were completelly harmless and my mind made it up, but the big "13" and "14" numbers on it make me think otherwise....
@Al!naJames:
When people tell me they like Crimin Nami… I can not belive my ears!!!
I did some comparison between Mugiwara and Crimin POPs... Crimin is a fucking mutated monstrosity! I want to burry her deep underground and never see ever again![hide]http://imageshack.com/a/img834/9663/nchsi.jpg

I love your comparision pictures. Makes you wonder how can MH still give Ajiken figures… He can't sculpt Oda's characters. PERIOD!
As for Mugiwara Nami. She looks so lovelly!! I had to pass on her, because I don't know what would I do with her. I hate stand alone figures because they look out of place, as if they were not meant to be.... If I can find the right spot for her, I might reconsider.... (any help is appreciated!!). There's no room for her on the Neo SH crew, since Neo 1 is equally lovelly, and she doesn't belong to the SA crew....
I'll get the awesome Mugiwara ver. 2 for sure though. She is going to replace the lifeless SA version as soon as it comes out (less Ajiken in my collection, the better!!)
Trashcat did get him. She is selling him on MFC if I'm not wrong.

You should get him now. He can only go up in price. I believe you can order him through Amazon.co.jp. Maybe Crease can help you.
I've been meaning to give an update on my "displayer" for a while, but haven't had the time to take pictures until now (and they aren't even that great). I'm pretty excited, because phase one is almost finished!!! Phase 2 is to put the translucent acrilics that will prevent things from falling while letting the light go through. Then phase 3 will start, which consist on building all the doors and shelves that we will require to store our belongings.

@1Up:
not per se, those SCultures sizes are all over the places, some are GLM scale and some are POP scale, some are ven bigger than POP now, those newer ones like that upcoming zoro, that is massive, I have seen it at the C3 expo.
I agree with 1Up, their sizes are all over the place. Some are bigger than POPs others at FAZ or GLM scale.
Really? I think that might be the best Usopp costume ever.
That the one I dislike the most…. I guess we have different tastes. I find Z Usopp the best outfit for him, although I'm liking his Dresrossa outfit too.
@Afro:
I must be the only one that dislikes all of those designs :ninja: Every single one of them.
Not the only one…
They look like power rangers, all dressed up in one color...
I hope only figures of this are the already announced GLM. FAZ, WCF and POPs have so many other characters to release before they think about doing any of this....
Those designs…..
I hope there's no relevant merch of them...
I can understand what MH have done here, it's a real turning point to start seeing characters like Lao G get announced. I'm sure the Super Sentai parody will appeal to a lot of veteran Otakus!
They've tried to release side characters out of sync with the running story which have all resulted in fails, (Enel, Arlong, Kid, Killer, Shilliew, Lucci etc.) Damn, even Chopper MAS failed, because horn point was from FI, and nobody is even interested that far back!
Do you think Lao G will not be a fail? Really? Veteran Otakus will buy him? I don't know man….
I would have loved Burgess too, but since he is currently MIA, he might be too "old" for MH.
Not convinced on Ace's face.... I'll have to wait for the painting.
Nami looks gorgeous... Why is she not Z-Edition..... sniff sniff... (although, now that I can think about it, she will look great next to the monster trio....)
What is the Unlimited games playstyle? Are they action RPG?
I'm not a fan of what I'm seeing….
Sugar face looks out of character. I hope they include an aditional face and arm so we can display her like this:
!
Right now, she looks too much like a random anime girl (almost as if Ajiken is responsible for her face….. Please don't be true....)
Viola looks bad. I don't know how to say that, but the close up is not helping. Her face looks awkward and I still see her boobs of diferent size. Ajiken should have stick to Oda's design and make her dress not skin tight....
I like what I see from Fujitora. His face is not 100% accurate, but I can see the character in it.
I want more pictures of Nami and Ace. Maybe some of them will be painted next WonFest....
Is pre-payment required or can I pre-order and pay when released? Sorry for asking here @_@
Prepayment is required at Kolektakon.
Thanks for the translation, Louis! That's a real bummer, though… I guess I'll stop waiting for MH to release a new Carue and Jinbei then...
The communicate says rereleasing old figures is hard to do Today. That doesn't mean new versions couldn't be done.
If Jinbei joins the crew in a future arc, he'll get a new POP almost for sure (unless he follows the same fate as Kinemon). Carue is almost impossible to see a new figure though, unless they revive the MAS line.
The more I look at the pictures the more weird I feel about this MH. I don't like how Megahouse is focusing on Dresrossa so much. I can almost guarantee now that all non Dresrossa/Future arcs characters will never be released. I wanted Magellan at least, but he might never be… Here are my thought:
Fujitora: He was my most wanted Dresrossa POP and here he is. I'll get him for sure. Now, to wait for the price and the month.
Ace: He looks really great. Ishiyama is such a great sculptor. I would have bought him without hesitation 2 years ago. Now it feels kinda late. He suffers the same fate as Marco MAS, I like the figure a lot, but I'm unsure I need him because I already own the previous one. If I can find a spot for them on my dreamed displayer I'll get them.
Nami Mugiwara ver. 2: She is sooooo pretty, and looks so full of life. I wish her clothes were cannon, so I could replace her crappy SA version with this one. I might still do that once I see her coloured. We might get another Luffy soon (please let the rumours be true), so I might replace both SA versions which will make the clothes a non issue.
I don't know who the sculptor is, but he has my full atention. I really hope they give him more figures in the future, hopefully cannon ones like Monet or Baby 5 (if they ever go back to them, which it doesn't look like they will….).
Toy Soldier: I like the character enough to get his POP. It looks good, and hopefully it will be dirty cheap.
Viola: This is Ajiken messing up again…. I think I just can't stand him anymore. MH should let him go ASAP. This could have been an awesome figure, but again we have the same lifeless expresion... I can only dream of how awesome she could have looked with a rose in her mouth (and a dressed that behaved like Oda intended too, instead of attaching to her enourmous boobs and belly as if made of spandex...). At least the pose, while awkward, is better than what his usual work... How I wish the person who did Mugiwara Nami 2 would have done her too...
Sugar: I know I would have liked a POP of her, so I'm not really disappointed here. I see how I feel once she is painted. Hopefully, like Soldier-san, she will be cheap.
Lao G: I don't know what MH was thinking. Kinemon should have been in his place. This can possibly be the first POP of a new character I can see myelf skipping. Bellamy (and Cavendish) was a close call, but Lao G? How can anyone want a figure of him? It kills me, but I think it's time to draw a line.
Becca mild: I don't really expected this, and I'm not even sure I want it. A GLC of her would have been more than enough for me to own. I'll probably pass unless I see her for 500-1000 yen or so.
I was ready to be disappointed with this Expo. I knew 5 POPs were going to be released that I had low interest on, but I had hopes for ONE non Dresrossa POP to keep me going. I really hope this is not the end of past lines like Z-Edition (I want Usopp and Brook so much…), DX (Magellan please!!) and pre Dresrossa SA (Jinbei, Smoker, Tashigi and Kinemon need to happen...). If that's the case, I'll be a really sad collector...
@Al!naJames:
^I'm pretty sure these two will be a 2-pack. Seems crazy to sell them separately.
They have different classification on their cards. Toy Soldier is Sailing Again, while Becca is CB-EX, which would imply they are not sold as a bundle. But that could always change.
All the cards Ihave seen say they are schedules to be released on 2014. Does this mean all 8 POPs will be for Octoer-December?
@Al!naJames:
Yeah, 2D3Y, what Dilou said… Don't take it too personally.
Dressrosa is very vast in terms of characters so they are letting their sculptors run wild. Once there will be a more timid arc they might to back in time... Not to mention that Buggy, Ivankov and of course Dragon will show up further down the road in manga many times, I'm sure of it, and will get their time to shine.
While Megahouse's weird picks may not be pleasant all the time, they sure let happy surprises happen. Remember when they did Shiliew? XD I'm still over the moon about that personally : PWe just have to have patience!
Well, my patience is running short…. I have no faith we will see them now. I really don't, sorry. Lao G is a prove to that. They will make any future named character before going back. ANY. You might say future arc might have less characters, but they might be enough to just don't need to go back. They can allways fill the gaps in roster with more Aces, Laws, Namis and Choppers (who surprisingly was missing). From now on, instead of buying everything to support them, I'll just buy those I feel are relevant. Out of this bunch, only Fujitora is.
Did MegaHouse really not bring a painted Midorima from Kuroko to the show? We saw his prototype unpainted MONTHS ago! I thought for SURE we'd see him…
He was there, but still unpainted.
@Al!naJames:
It's by far not the worst expo ever but not the best either.
I really love Doflamingo's crew, but I'd pretty much have ANY of the rest of them over Sugar, Violet and Lao G… (though I'm planning to get all 3) Lao G is the most irrelevant character they ever picked... I don't think I saw single fanart made of him and he had like total of 2 lines in the series... Really wish it was Baby-5, Gladius and Diamante instead :ГVery happy that we're getting Fujitora sooner than later.
I hate Rebecca but her MILD's very cute.
That Nami I want on my desk NOW.
Overall I'm getting 5 out of 8 new models on pre-order basis which is good result, I think. I'm happy they're focusing on new characters mostly because fresh news is always good in my book. Of course the usual weirdness by Megahouse… but it was to be expected. Really crazy there's no Kinemon still now that they did Momonosuke.
But oh wellllllll~
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Uhh, no I'm not? I was sure Dream Poll was won by Nami and Law, not Nami and Ace, was it? I don't see Dream Poll signs anywhere near them anyway, maybe it's just their regular dose of Nami regardless of anything...
I understand you may be saying you want new characters not from Dressrosa, but what you're saying is that you need any non-Dressrosa characters all in all and those Nami and Ace are not Dressrosa in any way @_@ I don't get why you say they don't count…
Ace was 3rd, that's why they made him over Law that was first (to not compromize the sells of their ver. 2, but he is comming). And Nami is not even cannon, so obviously she is not Dressrossa. But I guess you're right. I meant One New Non-Dressrossa character.
@Al!naJames:
But Nami and Ace are non-Dressrosa…
Are you making fun of me? Those two are from the Dream Poll, and chosen because of their popularity, so my point is still intact. There's no pre Dressrossa POPs. NONE.
This is unbelievable…...
I'm out! I'll start collecting FAZ I guess. I mean, Lao G???? Really?!?!?!?!?!?!!? If it wasn't bad enough, they for sure know how to screw me over.
No non Dresrossa POPs means we will never see Magellan or Buggy. Those are the ones I wanted the most.
Ace and Nami look amazing, though, but I don't see the need for them. As I don't see the need for Lao G, Sugar or child Becca... I guess owning 100+ POPs means nothing now. I'll never feel I'll have a completed collection without Buggy or Ivankov. I only needed one non Dresrossa POP to keep me going. ONE!!! To have some hope that someday I'll own them. I would have bought all the crappy Dresrossa character along the way. Now I'm not sure. If all I'm going to get in the future is Pica, Trebol, Diamante and some crappy Colloseum guy, I'm really out.
Lao G over Kinemon is just the end for me. I know now he will never be released. He will become the Buggy of the SA line, like Brook, Usopp, Franky and Nami will be from the Z line. They just made collecting really useless.
@Al!naJames:
Violet's boobs look crazy big and her dress is avoiding laws of physics in the craziest way too.
And yeah, lifeless copy-paste Ajiken face again… really wish she could come with a close-eyed face, holding rose in her mouth.
That's why Ajiken needs to go…. He strips the personality of all the characters and make them a copy pasted bland female. A closed eyed with the rose on her mouth (and decent boobs) Viola would have been perfect.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
But Sugar, Rebecca and Mr. Soldier enter the kawaii field. 3 "for women". Violet is "one for men" and Fujitora is the badass choice, but poorly sculpted.
I'm pretty sure they are not there for the Kawaii. Law, Crocodile, Kid, Sengoku, Aokiji, etc. would be a kawaii choice. Sugar and Toy Soldier? Not so much…
@Al!naJames:
It's funny that you say this cause…
...all we have here is pretty much guys with bare chests
Except all of those are 6 months old. All we got Today are Fujitora, 3 females (two of them children….) and a Toy. Not really targetting the female market....
Gladly, the non OP merch did take care of it.
Wait, guys. Is there going to be a third Law SA?!!! o_O Other 4 POP's?!!
Even without a "sexist" design you still hate her?
Yes it is. His 4th POPs is going to be announced soon.
And as for Rebecca. Her character itself is just meh. She has no relevancy at all, her story isn't even related to the plot. Luffy would still knock Dofla without she being introduced. She is such a useless character. Viola and the toy soldier too. They are not really meaningful. If we had never seen them, the events would have been developed exactly the same.
Relax people, as far as I heard, there are at least 4 more POP's expected to be shown today.
I really need that to be true! We know of Law and Nami. I only need one non SA to keep me going. ONE! That's all I'm asking!!!!
PLEASE TELL ME THEY ARE!! LOL. The Film Z versions are the best versions of not of those characters. I desperately want the crew completed in that line.
Exactly!! That would be what would save the event for me.
I knew 3 Dresrossa figures were comming. I expected Kinemon and Fujitora. MH screwed me again giving me Sugar (like really? She showed up for 5 minutes….) and Becca child (as in WTF?!?!?!? Out of all the flashback characters and child versions, they choose the least appealing of them all????).
She has a certain important part in the Dressrosa arc and has a great moment…
Yes, but she over Kinemon? Really?
I must disagree! I quite like this combo. If they are marketed as a pair that'd be great.
They don't look like to. Soldier is SA while Becca is CB-EX.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Really?
! Kryos was a toy soldier for how many chapter? and now he's human again? OK, so he has some relevants as a flashback character, but in the context of the current arc, he doesn't do much in this form…..........equally, child Rebecca? How much flashback have we even seen of her? One chapters worth? We saw more of Queen Otohime and Fisher Tiger. Sorry, but there is no excuse on these 2.........
! Sugar.............? Passed out after seeing Usopps face..............even less relevant than Vergo & Monet, even though she was responsbile for turning everyone to toys................
! Fujitora...........No Flare..........but I guess there isn't much you can really do with him..........it's just to early!!
! Viola is the only one with any real promise…........
! I agree with you, although I don't see that Viola as promizing. Apart for the emotionless face trade mark of Ajiken, she looks to have boobs of different sizes…. Hopefully I'm wrong, but that would be a new low for him, honestly...
Whats wrong with the figure? Looks great on my phone.
I don't see what's wrong either. Although the picture is really crappy…
Yeah Viola's boobs are huge and Rebecca looks creepy as fuck on that pic.
That Viola is so badly proportioned…. No wonder is Ajiken's work....
Becca's child version over Brook's? MH has hit a really low for me.... If all we are going to see are Dressrossa characters, they just lost a faithful customer...
Hopefully any of the limited ones. I'm ok with only one….
Btw, AForce is doing Jozu after he finishes his Zoro Z. Let's see how he looks like if MH doesn't do him
Why it would be a nightmare? Have you seen Ajiken sculpting male figures? Your obsession with Ajiken like some sort of Michael Bay-ish sculptor is disturbing.
We've all seen it Kyon. Cavendish is made by him, and he is so wrong that I couldn't believe my eyes. He sculpted him as a boobless female. PERIOD. I understand that he is a bishonen character, but being a pretty men deos not equal to being a boobless female, not even close. His legs, ass, hips and torso are completelly wrong and do not belong to a man at all. It's like he took Nami, dyed her hair, removed her boobs and gave her bigger hands. That's all.
And as Enzeru says, he just can put any emotion to his faces. ANY. He has sculpted more than 10 POPs and every single one of them has the same face. No matter if the character is a happy person, a crying one, a sad one, a seriuos one, etc. They all have the same plain lifeless face. Even when there are extra ones like in the cases of Vivi and Boa, he puts no effort in changing the expresion. You can defend him all you want, but for me he has had enough chances already. I don't want him screwing over any main character again. I'm so happy he is not responsible for Rebecca. He can do all the Namis and bikini versions MH sees fit (although we already know other sculptors can do a better job than him, as Mugiwara Nami is miles better than any Nami Ajiken ever did), but he better stay away from cannon or new characters, above all male ones.
Anyone know what this means from the MH blogger:

I believe it means we will be finally seeing the prototypes for the winners of the Dream Poll aka Nami and Law.
We know 3 Dressrossa characters are planned, which makes a total of 5.
So how on Earth do you think all those pops you listed are possible? Do you think they will show 10-15 prototipes?
Oops my bad. Yeah, I meant Ishiyama. Ajiken doing Fuji would be horrible lol. Thanks for the correction, kanji.
Can't wait to see the new POPs tonight.
I thought that. Ajiken sculping Fuji would be a true Nightmare.

Here's what I want to see from MegaHobby (though it's pretty similar to my lists for the last several shows):
–Buggy!
--Caesar
--Sailing Again Tashigi
--Sailing Again Smoker
--Viola
--Burgess
--Carue 1.5 (The new Vivi NEEDS a Carue!)
--Jinbei 1.5
--Film Z Brook
--Film Z Nami
That list is awesome, but with already "announced" 5 POPs, I find it hard for them to pull. Maybe, if we are lucky, the deam poll Nami will be a Z-Edition one.
^ooh that would look sweet. MH might as well give him a fire-fist option then.
My money's still on Fujitora. Preferably sculptured by Ajiken.
By Ajiken? Really?
I would so hate that…..
We already know that a new Nami, Law and 3 Dresrossa figures are comming. My bets are on Fujitora, Sabo and Kinemon. No other character shown is relevant enough to deserve a POP but for Burgess, who I don't see them doing. I can see a Dofla ver. 2 before a Kyros, Baby 5, Violet, Sugar, Pica, Trebol, Diamante, Dwarfs, etc.
I hope they release at least one other character, hopefully some pre-TS figure like a Supernova, Magellan, Ivankov or Buggy, and Z Usopp or Z Brook (I know, I know, the line is dead, but one can only hope....). Chances are pretty slim, though.
