So in a cheerier mood today, I decided to open up Volume 0…...
As a set, it has some really cool characters in it and I still love alot of their designs. In terms of quality however, its the worst set I own. While the change in plastic worked well in volume 11, here they just all feel to lightweight and flimsy. The worst thing they did was stop making the figures in parts as we now get things like Hancock's deformed arm that doesn't even look like its on properly. Only Shiki and Whitebeard feel solid. They're also two out of three that I would say have an acceptable amount of paint issues. The other is Rayleigh who I really like and feel is probably the nicest out of the whole set.
Hancock's chest and Shanks hat have some random green paint marks on them while the paint of Garp is just really shitty. Also Baby Ace has scuff marks up one of his arm that makes it look all dirty :S And don't even get me started on the fact we can see 8 year old Hancock's panties.
I don't know if I can be bothered to make a video review for them yet, probably not as I feel I've done enough moaning about this set as it is. Just overall, Banpresto, what happened?!
Speaking as one of the many that didn't get a single 1, that's great to hear….
Your right, sorry, was a dickish thing to say :( I'm just being all bitter as I was so hyped for this set and they just dont seem that great and they've taken so long to turn up that most of my excitement has gone now. I'm sure I'll end up opening them tomorrow and love them. Or if not, keep an eye on the market place :P
Volume 0 from HLJ arrived. The whole things been a pain really, took ages for them to send it out, then they only gave me 7/8 of the set, then it took four weeks from being shipped to arrive. Now I've finally got them I've just chucked them in the back of the wardrobe with all my other boxes, can't be bothered to open them :/
Nice review still watin for mine. Don't worry to much about the dislikes. those are trolls or people that hate you for having roger:P. Just do reviews because you like to do them. If only 1 people like it its enough:).
Nice review coopz. Thanks.
Thanks alot guys. It really bummed me out that I got two dislikes for the Brotherhood review I did, so much so that it put me off doing another one for a while. I'd much rather people told me what they disliked about my stuff than just saying 'no, thats rubbish, thumbs down' :( But I really do like the feedback as I only do it as I enjoy seeing stuff on camera so I guess, if just one or two people find it helpful, then it was worth it :D
New review, Will of D Roger. Enjoy!
Anywho. Been asking people which video opening they'd like to see me use. The older one or this one?
Prefer the first one tbh, but both are way to long. Always end up skipping peoples long intros after the first or second time
Volume 0 finally arrived today….except for the first time in 6 months, the postman decided to take it back to the post office instead of just leave it out the back! All through the winter they don't bother, but when its warm and dry, quick take the parcel away >_< Gotta wait until Friday now

Got the Roger, Hancock and Sengoku on the 7th with my Attack figures. Still no Garp yet (he was posted on the 5th) same goes for Figuarts Chopper too (posted on the 6th)
Seems that everything is taking longer.
Grrr, thanks. Mine shipped out on the 27th and I still haven't got them. I don't even want the sodding things any more
Cyber, when did your Vol 0 from HLJ turn up? Mine are taking ages
I want that kuma shirt really badly. I think it was like 6000 yen the other week though
Just want to bump my Brotherhood review :D Its one of being my highest watched video, and 7 off being my first video with 100 views!!
Providing I have time, I should be uploading either Roger, Buggy or Snap Girls reviews this weekend
Archonia told me today that they won't be getting any WCF: Volume 0 in stock. I was kinda hoping they would but unfortunately not
Dust and lack of space are my two worst enemies right now!!
I thought I'd spend the afternoon trying to rearrange my whole collection to find some extra room. Not only did I not find any, but I also realised how dusty all the bases for my WCF's have gotten :S Spending an hour having to take the bases of 86 mini figures and dusting them was not what I had in mind
Great review, coopz! I really can't wait to get mine, should be any day now. A bright spot in my day, that was!
I very nearly gave you a shout out during it actually cos when I first opened Ace one of my first thought was 'Maggie is going to be over the moon when she gets hers!'
Here we go, Brotherhood review!!!!
I tried something new with the camera today but it turned out abit wobbly so excuse that. Had a nightmare filming stuff today (and have to go back and redo most of it) but here is this one for now;
Besides Brotherhood, are there any other scenes that people would like to see made in a similar manner? Possibly the enies lobby rooftop scene could work well?
Todays arrivals:
[hide][/hide]
Brotherhood is beyond good. My favourite figures already, hands down.
Buggy is nice. Roger is wonderful, can't believe it took so long to get a proper figure of him.
Snap Girls….meh.....
Just recorded reviews, first one shall be up later :D
EDIT- Maybe not, just found out I've recorded the whole thing upside down >_____<
Wasnt there one in the first set?
Nope. Just Garp and Whitebeard :P
Massive haul today, biggest I've ever gotten!!! Pics and reviews coming asap
Does anyone have any info/pics about Deformed Power Keychains volume 3? I remember they were shown at some fair and they looked great, but can't find any pictures or even remember who was in the set!
@1Up:
still no packages in from royal mail coopz??
Nope. I was waiting in all morning for Mr Postman and nothing. PA have never taken this long for anything I've ordered. Oh well, I've just today finished uni for good, so as soon as anything new arrives, I can review it asap and pop it on youtube
Awesome pics Liz, thanks for taking ones where we can see prices. I'm always curious to know how much random stuff costs. Suprised to see a Bearsy still knocking about!
I'm assuming this will be implimented once we get a new main thread, but it would be handy if the release dates of the upcoming month were put somewhere easily accessible. They always get posted which is awesome, and then lost in the thread so people have to ask several times.
YEAH! Forum is back! XDD
Is it easy and cheap to get older Anime Heroes Volumes? I would like to switch from WCF to Anime Heroes. Vol.14 showed me that it is not worth collecting them anymore… I know Angolz still have some anime heroes sets but not all unfortunately T___T

Apart from the ones still on sale at Angloz, I don't know where you'll be able to get boxes of them. Also the trouble with buying the boxes is that you'll end up with missing 4 or 5 figures from each set
I got my Brotherhood and Snap Girls! ^^/
I bought them from Mandarake because brotherhood was out of stock everywhere and I was desperate to get it, then when I had payed, every shop suddenly restocks and for half the price… Just my luck. >u< But I'm happy I finally have them.[hide][qimg]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd25/perunajauho/DXBrotherhood.jpg[/qimg]These became instantly my favorite figures, they look so good and especially if you display them so that sunlight hits them the flames look really awesome.
[qimg]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd25/perunajauho/DXflames.jpg[/qimg]
The latest (Finnish) vol of OP for cool prop. :)And then the girls. They're stunning. I don't really know what else to say, they're perfect. Pictures are kinda crappy, sorry for that.
[qimg]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd25/perunajauho/SNAP.jpg[/qimg]Some size comparison: Thought I could make some kind of Alabasta setting with Vivi and Crocodile but I guess I wont do that… [qimg]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd25/perunajauho/krokovivi.jpg[/qimg][qimg]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd25/perunajauho/comparison.jpg[/qimg]Then for little home decor,
As well as being beautiful figures, I got them so I could showcase them on this drawer in my room.
[qimg]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd25/perunajauho/kaappi.jpg[/qimg]
I store my jewelry in the chest and the drawer actually works as my wardrobe, it's lovely how the figures fit in to my girl-corner . ^^
[qimg]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd25/perunajauho/girly.jpg[/qimg]^The final composition.(The poster btw: http://maaria.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=48#/d1l9zku
bought a print at the Helsinki comics festival)[/hide]
Nice pics, they look great! I kinda wish that Nami and Vivi had a base like Brotherhood so they could be clipped together or something. Can not WAIT to get mine :D
I wanted Magellan and Brook too. But as with the set before. The only way to get it is a proxy in Japan it seems.
Oh wait, which line is this? The effects one or the devil fruit keychains one?
Another day, another failure from the postman >_<

Does anyone know where to get these still?

Not sure about a whole unopened box. I know alot of people used to be selling them on the marketplace but that was a while ago. Still, could be worth looking through and seeing if anyone had them and dropping them an email.
Also;

Thats a really interesting idea. Would be happy to write a small paragraph about shops in London/surrounding areas
Argh, zee goggles!!!!!
I would possibly consider getting Sentamaru as he looks ok'ish I guess
Bloody Royal Mail. Don't think we've got anything since last Wednesday now. Stupid bank holidays!
I'm pretty sure that my postman has just given up and is keeping all letters and parcels for himself :/
Buyers-
Aku-Chan- +1, brought some MBH's, payed ASAP
Sensui- +1, brought some stylings, good correspondance and immediate payment
Sellers-
Crease- +1 Effects Keychains, super fast shipping
Cyber- +1 Sent me some coasters, nice packing and speedy
Maggie- +1 Doflamingo figure, super fast shipping and nice stamp :)
I'd love to see a pic of the four main Law figures in a line. So POP, GLM, Figurarts and WCF. Would be great :D
I like the seller/buyer feedback topic. Is there any way that a 'timewasters' section could be added to it, or would that be abit mean? I've had two or three people on these forums correspond with me and tell me they want to buy stuff when they really have no intention of doing so, and it would be handy if there was a place that they could be listed
So apparently Play Asia give you 50cents worth of store credit if you write a review of something you brought. But does anyone know if that item has to still be in stock? Cos I've got loads of out of stock wcf's I can write a quick review on if it means I get store credit!
Thats a shame, unsuprising, but a shame. The actual figures in this volume are pretty cool, but once again, poor standards are letting them down.
After having seen a fair few pics of Volume 0 now, I'm considering the idea of just selling them on when they arrive. Shall see how I feel on the day I guess.
This week should hopefully be a good week for parcels! Brotherhood, Will of D Roger and possibly Buggy and Snap Girls :D So excited for them all
Just going to repost this as it got abit swept up in all the new pictures when I first posted it the other day :D
Please comment and give feedback, it's all appreshiated!
High quality WCF volume 14 figures. Looks better than they did in that other pic.

Those have definitely been touched up. They look too perfect, even by the best WCF standards
My favourite thing about the DragonballxOnePiece figures I have is that you can stand them without the base. I don't know why Banpresto changed it really, its much better that way
I've got pretty mixed feelings about the figuarts line. Many of them look crap and the quality doesn't seem great, but then they're releasing decent characters and at a faster rate than most other lines. That Chibi Luffy is amazing though!
Bloody UK postal service. Brotherhood still hasn't arrived and now I have to wait until next week when all this Royal wedding bollocks is finished >_<
Yeah, I also emailed them about the delay and they said this:
'Thanks for writing, and for your patience. We've been catching up on a backlog in shipping after giving our staff some days off after working extended hours since the earthquake. Your order is being prepared for shipping, and should ship today or tomorrow.'
WTF at Boa's finger and Ace's hair??? Urgh, what happened to you WCF's, what happened?!
The three admirals in that WCF set look horrible. Such a shame whats happening to this line.
Just got the admiral keychains from Crease and they are awesome. Such good quality and suprisingly bulky. They look really interesting and dynamic as well. Wish I'd got more of this line tbh
Anyways, been almost a week since my last review so here is a new one for you all!
WCF Strong World Suits!!!!!
PA shipped my stuff from yesterday
And HLJ finally sent out Volume 0, a whole week after I paid. They replied to the email I sent them saying they're slow at the moment as they're giving some of their staff time off as they worked extra during the earthquakes last month :S
Brotherhood still haven't turned up from P-A yet >_< But I did come home to find a lovely little letter with Franky and Luffy coaster's inside :D Cyber, I thought Stetsons were cool before, but after Saturday's DW, I love them even more so they coasters went right up on my wall!! Thanks so much
Now I just need PA to ship my order, HLJ to stop being dicks and either ship my order or reply to my emails and the postal service to get their bums in gear and everything will be awesome!
Does HLJ put WCF figures on pre-order or direct order when they are available?
I missed Vol.0. Would be a shame to miss Vol.13.
They don't really ever have them in stock. Vol 0 was the first time they had any in stock since volume 2 or 3 last year. So theyres a very high chance they'll not get Volume 13
placed a order on buggy!! thanks a bunch =] and my WCF Vol. 0 from HLJ FINALLY sent out an email about it being shipped. Now it's just the waiting game.
Nice! I hope that means I get a shipping order today. Will feel abit bad if I do after my ranty email I just sent them :S
Will of D Roger turned out to be easier to find than Will of D Garp was in the end. Most places have had restocks of him, or at least got in their initial shipment
