I'm gonna excuse myself and slam on a wall because I'm so happy and excited that Horikoshi is still reusing his Oumagadoki Zoo characters even though it's in an arcade card battle game. (Oh no, Hana got turned into a villain! Where the heck is Shiina?) Still gives me hope that they'll appear in the manga one day with speaking parts, just like Uwabami and Gang Orca.

Bearhead's quirk is "brown bear".

4th PV is here!

Animation looks great, considering this is probably all taken from the first episode.

Pretty cool variations of sculpts we have here. Too bad only one version of a character will be mass produced. I really like フージーターズ Barto because of the body language being emitted, and the pose for 山口 Law. Can't decide with Urouge tho.

@TräshCät:

Ohooo~ I actually thought of getting that scultures! How's the quality and stability? Can he stand without that black support piece?

Personally, his pose is the #1 thing that I like about this Sculture (also, it was a xmas gift and my first Sculture). He was released when the qualities of Scultures started improving, which was during the release of Round 2; 2 months before Crocodile. So the paint job is fairly decent. Unfortunately, he's VERY unstable without his black support piece. Due to the pose, all of his weight is on his left leg, but since he's leaning forward he'll end up tipping towards his left without it. And depending on the angle, his sides might seem a bit wonky.

Also, I don't know if it's just mine, but I can't push his right leg flush against his clothes; the peg is just a bit too big for the hole. Nevertheless it somewhat fits.

Overall, I'd rank this Scultures Zoro as my #1 fave out of all the other Zoros.

@TräshCät:

Is there a good Scultures or Creator x Creator of Zoro that people can recommend?

I have this one, also sculpted by Saitou Heel. It's 16cm tall. There's also a Creator x Creator BUST collection that'll be released later this year with Shanks, Zoro, then Law.

In early August I went to an anime con in Edmonton and stumbled upon something that must be shared with everyone in this thread.

@sgamer82:

True. It was mostly random thought to what could happen to cause serious regret. The main thing I can think of was disobeying his hero partner, but he mostly told him that heroes can't be judge, jury, and executioner, which he feared Ida had in mind for Stain.

Aizawa-sensei could possibly expel him from the school once the situation report comes back, or kick him out of the Heroics department class. Who knows…

Looks like it could be Todoroki.

Had a chance to take a look at Viz's volume 1! Can't purchase it yet of course, but it's physically in the store! Congrats C.C.!

@sensui:

I must say, it is a great time to pick up merchandise in general with the exchange rate and recessed pricing. All sorts of figures from the rarest to popular I've seen just can't fetch any sort of real premium anymore. I didn't really buy that much since I'm just collecting certain lines like WCF/POP and some Banpresto stuff I find attractive most the times (excluding my kids and my new love for tsum tsums)….but man temptations a plenty with the pricing right now. Will probably be putting up some MISB POPs that I have stashed away here in Japan for cheap also soon for members first before I send it out to auctions.

It's a strange feeling seeing tons of figures with prices that range from 'WHAT A STEAL' to 'CRAZY EXPENSIVE' in stores. Unless you own a giant space to store tons of figures, luggage space might the only thing that would lessen such temptations .
I'll be heading over to Japan later this year. Most of the new Scultures will be out be then, so I'm hoping that I can find some at a decent price in display stores.

From what I remember, didn't Fallen Angels moved their release date earlier because PowerManga was releasing their own earlier by using Ishuhui's cleaned scans? (after the whole readmanga thing). How many English rival groups are there?
