Missed the preorder for the latest half-age set :(

Want my Perona.

I found them on HLJ, yeah there was a complete set, no girls off course (I rolled my eyes). They are 10 years old now.

There seems to be some difference in the size though - some places saying 5 inches, others 11cm(just over 4, so in scale with the OP figs I already have). It might seem like a small thing but it really dictates whether i pick them up or not.

A](http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN908123)re Luffy's legs posable here? I can't tell. IT looks like he has crotch joints but maybe not knees? Any posability is awesome though, I like fiddling with the heads on the Half Age characters.

@Igosuki:

Some people are never satisfied until a story fits their view of the world, but a story is told by an author and Oda is not getting influenced by any pressure group and always surprises us, much like how GORRM does with the Game of Thrones series. That is the only way a story can truely be enjoyed.
I believe Robin and Nami have awesome, moving story lines and are shown to be able to handle themselves well in a world dominated by violence and strong men.
In my opinion Oda does an awesome job and I would not change anything in the slightest. Large breasts and a tiny waist are what stimulate males biologically so it's only fair that women would be drawn to be attractive in a shonen manga.

This is incorrect. Stuff like this is always influenced by a "pressure group", and I can't think of many anime outside of maybe Utena that are influenced by feminism in the first place. I don't see what's so great or unique about it when every other anime is the same, influenced by the "pressure group" of a wider masculinised society. Some people seem to think only minority groups can apply pressure for some reason .I really hate this mentality because everything is on the little guy(or girl).

C](http://www.angolz.com/store/on-sale/one-piece-luffy-usopp-chopper-combo.html)an someone tell me about these figures? They look to be small, posable One Pice figures and I'd never heard of anything like that before. I have some Dragon Ball figs I think were done in a similar style, they're nice.

is there a whole collection of these? I'd really like a full set if possible. Or at least Zoro & Sanji.

Some exaggeration are obviously a lot more insensitive than others. Highlighting the masculine aspects of trans is pretty offensive either way since it's what they avoid and it's feeding off a misconception.

@grunk:

I wonder if fishmen came about from Merfolk breeding with humans. Kinda makes Hody look like a jackass.

Wouldn't that be the other way around since Merfolk are more human looking, generally?

The thing I hate most about discussions like these is when people make smart comments like "Yeah because Franky's body is TOTALLY realistic". It's not meant to be. People always have to pull up silly examples which show how weak their argument must be in the first place.

I don't think that's what was meant. But a siamese twin or parasite or something would be a bit odd too.

@TheCook:

I don't understand why people say Lucci is weak.
The fight with Lucci probably messed Luffy up more than any other (that he won that is).
You have to keep in mind Luffy's main drawback back then was he lack of Haki to hit Logias.

Could Lucci take on Magellan? Not without getting really screwed up in the process.
I am not sure how good even current Luffy could do against someone like that though.

because of the relative power levels I talk about here. Luffy was on a similar level to him, yet it took the whole of the SHs to take down a Pacifista. It just doesn't add up.

Current Franky may actually be stronger than Sanji due to serious Vegapunk upgrades. That said, Zoro & Sanji can take down a Pacifista in a single hit so bleh.
