Event Photos: Megahobby EXPO Spring 2012 - One Piece

Megahobby EXPO Spring 2012 was held last Saturday, 26th of May 2012 at Akibahara Tokyo, Japan. And as usual Megahouse's Portrait of Pirates merchandise were there to show their new and upcoming releases as well as those that were released previously.

There were a lot of new product teasers as well as previously announced items that were yet to be released. I'm drooling with excitement but my wallet is about to cry. Megahouse seems to be on fire to get our money.

Here we've got new gray prototypes of Sailing Again Perhona, DX Eustass Kidd, DX Killer, Sailing Again Tony Tony Chopper in his Kung-fu point form, Sailing Again Franky with a new head option.

Sailing Again Usopp in now in full color. Limited repaint versions of Neo Rob Lucci (ver 1.5), Neo Nico Robin, Sailing Again Chopper and more. Enjoy the photos below.

POP Sailing Again Perhona

I knew this would be coming. Her time-skip redesign is simply amazing and Megahouse made a good decision for releasing her in this appearance. This is a must get for me. No price and release date yet.

POP DX - Eustass Kidd

This is another one that caught my attention. There's a lot of details in it and It would look awesome in colors. But I would prefer a post time-skip design for all these supernovas. If my wallet allows me and nothing stands in the way, I would be getting this, (but I hope I can still get Trafalgar Law to display them alongside Luffy). No price and release date yet.

POP DX - Killer

With a very dynamic pose and nice hair, this is another must get but he will not be without his captain, Eustass Kidd. I hope they will not be released within the same month. No price and release date yet.

POP Sailing Again - Tony Tony Chopper (Kung-fu point)

I think this is the first Chopper in a different battle form but I'm not sure if I'll be getting this. I would prefer his Heavy-point form, I'm pretty sure that would be a hype. No price and release date yet.

POP DX - Shiliew

The famous Shiliew of blackbeard pirates... not interested for now. No price and release date yet.

POP Sailing Again - Franky

This was shown before and it's sad to see that it is still shown in the prototype stage and no colors yet. But you will notice a different head option this time. I'll be getting this as I am planning to complete the Sailing Again Strawhats. No price and release date yet.

POP Sailing Again - Usopp

This is our first time that we see SA Usopp in full color. This is the best Usopp that I have seen so far. A must get as planned. It is scheduled to be released in September 2012 for 7,980 yen, same month as SA Robin and SA Zoro re-release. I will be poor guy on September. Curse you Megahouse for making my wallet cry :(

POP Limited - Rob Lucci ver 1.5

A kick-ass looking Rob Lucci with a different head option. This must be expensive being a limited edition, not to mention the store availability. I might consider getting this depending on my chances and it's price. No price and release date yet.

POP Limited - Nico Robin Neo Repaint

A limited metallic paint version. Nahh! not a fan of these metallic POP's. No price and release date yet but preorders will be opened this coming 8th of June.

POP Limited - Tony Tony Chopper

A very cute Chopper in his pre time-skip appearance. Pre-orders already closed. Set to be released in September for 3,570 yen.

POP Limited - Tony Tony Chopper Sailing Again (Kyupin ver)

A first SA repaint. Notice the starry eyes. Available as event exclusives only for 2,500 yen. I say this should have been included as a head option in the regular releases.
