Well, as I'm moving house, I went to clean out my closet, and as I hit the back, I found that we have a bit of mold growing there. Our apartment is a sub ground level, basically half in the earth, so I figure water just seeped in at some point. Luckily out of the multitude of POP boxes I have, only one was affected. I think I'll have to throw my Strong World Franky box away, which is a real shame. Has this (or any other natural damage, dust, sun, water, etc) happened to any collectors here? Any tips?

Thanks for the heads up. I missed it last year.

RE: Chapter 826: 0 and 4
So, Jimbei is showing up soon. I don't have access to my volumes right now, so maybe you guys could help me with a question? Near the end of Fishman Island, Jimbei and Neptune were talking, and he discussed the reasons he couldn't join the straw hats yet. Did he say during that conversation that he was captain of the Sun pirates? Did Jimbei have a crew after the Sun Pirates split or even after the war? I seem to remember him leading a portion of the Sun Pirates, like a New Sun Pirates kind of deal. I thought it would seem weird then for Jimbei to just abandon his crew to join Luffy, and thought it might make more sense for Jimbei and his crew to align themselves with the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

RE: The Viz Media Thread
If I remember correctly, Stephen said his first chapter he did was the one right after the flashback in 64, where the manga was introducing the New Fishman Pirates for a second time, where they were making the citizens step on a picture of Otohime. He said he did that one as a test/pre-screen.

Animal Kingdom Pirates sounds fine to me. What are the scanlators throwing around?

That Urouge is beast, I thought he was carrying a ball or something but it's his base. Nice touch. My local Books a Million started doing the same thing awhile back, saw King of the Artist Luffy there but it was really overpriced. Seen more manga/anime stuff at my local B&N too, though it's mainly mecha and Koto's comic stuff. How much was Zoro?
It was 37 USD or so. Isn't that about the price for it (with or without shipping)?
There is many one piece items in my local supermarket, glass,mugs,figures(dxf mostly) the last time it was Law 15th anniversary outfit and franky shogun dxf, there was dbz one out there too, manga is popular in France!
Oh yeah, definitely. I was visiting France back in 2013, and I was so pleased to see how present it was in the shops. I really should have grabbed those data books when I was there. Haha

I was at a local Barnes & Noble Bookstore yesterday, and I actually found a Master stars Piece Timeskip Zoro. There was only the one One Piece figure though; there were like 6 other DBZ figures along the same lines and even quite a few WCF's. Still pretty surprized to see a Zoro there. Has anyone else experienced this lately?

RE: The Viz Media Thread
So, its too late for it to be relevant enough to be asked on the podcast, but I've got a question about Tsuru in the Viz adaptation. In the most recent chapters she's been in, she always gets referred to as "Otsuru". Undoubtedly O- is an honorific of some kind, but it seems pretty sudden. I don't remember her being called that anywhere before. What does it mean?

I think this picture of the prototype comes from one-piece.com https://one-piece.com/news/detail/20151005_2875
Not sure if they will do a Buggy in any costume yet, i'm tempted to say they will make the whole crew in kabuki uniform and may be Ace since there is an image of him in kabuki costume.
Okay cool, thanks for the link! That puts it in a more official light. In any case it's sculpted well, but it would seem kind of out of place with the rest of the POPs, and I don't think I can afford to start another line. Haha

Yeah, it seems like it would be related to the kabuki theater events they have going on in Japan right now with One Piece : http://onepiecepodcast.com/2015/09/16/one-piece-super-kabuki-ii-to-also-perform-in-osaka/
But does anyone have a better source than just a picture of it? Where did it come from?
If they are doing this, I'm gonna say it right here, we're finally getting a Buggy, in kabuki costume. Kiss the chances of getting a regular outfit goodbye.
