Hmm, WCF Young Franky sounds like the way to go, thanks for the help! I was able to pick up his Z Super Styling Battle Outfit since it's gonna be difficult for me to get the FAZ version, now I just need his Cherry Blossom Outfit, and possibly something from Strong World. I might also look into that WCF Franky Shogun. Thanks everyone! My quest for Franky's continues. Er, affordable ones.

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.10 Main Discussion - "Final Product ≠ Promo Pics"
Hi guys. I finally found that Memories of Merry Franky I was dreaming about (along with some other random versions and that Figuarts Zero of timeskip Chopper with the wavy arms/happy face), and my wife ordered the Grandline Men Franky you recommended, I'm so happy. Just to round out my pathetic Franky collection, I saw Banpresto makes Grandline Children. I checked around and didn't see any info about Franky being released yet, but I could be wrong. Is he out already, or is he still unreleased and I have to wait? I dunno if I wanna spend a lot for his Mild POP, so this one looks like a good alternative.
Thanks in advance for any info, you've all been very helpful. And sorry again if I'm posting in the wrong area.

Ah, he's a Figuart? My mistake, thanks for the clarification. I can only hope he'll go down in price.

He's just a fantastic figure. I like the stitching on him, as opposed to the black paint on FA Zero, plus he's actually standing which was my only gripe with the FA Zero Franky. He looks stable enough to balance without the base, although I don't mind leaving him on it. I do like the faces on GLM Franky more as well… That being said, FA Zero Franky is MASSIVE, and it's so ridiculously silly that I laugh just looking at it.
I live near a store that sells One Piece toys, and FA Zero Franky is just $42, which isn't bad at all. I was looking on Amazon (yes, I know, I'm new at this whole figure-buying business) and GLM Franky is reasonably-priced at $24. I'd honestly be happy with either. But for the price, I'd be willing to just get GLM Franky.
I've seen POPs at San Diego Comic Con, and they look gorgeous. But I've always wondered why, are the materials just of better quality? Do they actually move, as opposed to Figuarts and GLMs? I actually like taking my figures out their boxes (the HORROR!!!) so any poseability is great; that's why I initially wanted Chogokin and Sailing Away before I saw their cost and started weeping.
Again, thanks for the suggestion! I'm really leaning towards GLM now, the price range isn't bad and the details are very nice as well. I'm also interested in the silly-looking Film Zero Franky's, that Cherry Blossom model is just ridiculous. And of course, I see Film Zero POP Battle Franky's preorder cost and slam my head on the table. Do these prices ever go down after the initial release, or will they just cost me this much forever?

RE: One Piece Collectibles v.10 Main Discussion - "Final Product ≠ Promo Pics"
Hi guys, I'm mostly a lurker but have collected various One Piece figures here and there. I recently decided to start collecting Franky figures, and my main goal is to eventually find the Memories of Merry Franky.
That being said, in the mean time, I'm looking to get a New World model of Franky. The Sailing Away POP is out of my price range and sadly, so is Chogokin. I'm not too disappointed as I do rather like the Figuarts Zero version. I was going to save for him, but then I saw the Grandline Men Franky…
My question is basically, to people who have them or have seen them, which Franky is a better value for money? I've only seen Figuarts Zero and he is quite big, is the Grandline Men one smaller or comparable? From the photos I've seen, it seems the Grandline Franky has a nicer paint job as well, but I'm not too sure.
TLDR, which Franky looks nicer? And if anyone has them, would you be willing to post a side-by-side comparison? Thanks so much, and I hope I didn't post in the wrong area.

RE: The One Piece Music Thread
hey guys, i can't find the spoiler tag, so i'll try to ask this properly. i'm sure most of you will know what i'm talking about anyway.
do you know the song at the end of ***** *****'s funeral? that's the most recent time i've heard it, and it's a pretty common theme. i just never found it, and i'd really like to know what it is.
thanks in advance!
