Yesterday, Wonder Festival 2012 Summer was held at Chiba, Japan, and Megahouse as well as other figure manufacturers came there to showcase their upcoming One Piece products. Of course Megahouse brings their popular Portrait of Pirates product line to display and we get to see the previously announced figures (during the Megahobby EXPO Spring 2012), now in their fully completed and painted form.
I am just a bit unsatisfied that there are no new prototypes and POP Sailing Again - Franky was a no show in this event. But I'm still glad to see the rest as they are all looking awesome. Megahouse is really serious in making POP fans happy. Let's see them one by one, shall we?
POP Neo-DX - Eustass Kidd
Kidd is now if full color. It is really friggin' awesome. The level of the details that Megahouse puts on this figure is HUGE! Absolutely amazing. I love that sinister look. When I saw this last time at Megahobby EXPO Spring 2012, and it was still in the prototype stage, I felt that this is an optional purchase for me. But seeing it this time, it has become a must get. I really gotta get me one of these! No price and release date yet.
POP Neo-DX - Killer
Nice to see Killer in full color. Cool looking hair and battle stance, I'm just not diggin' the polka dots shirt.
But getting Kidd means getting Killer. They would look really nice side by side. No price and release date yet.
POP Sailing Again - Perhona
The lovely Perona (or Perhona). Even at its prototype stage that was seen previously at the Megahobby EXPO Spring 2012, I already decided to save money for her. I was absolutely sure that she would look pretty in colors as she did on the POP Neo-DX version (pre-time skip design). And this time, she does look awesome as I expected her to be. No price and release date yet.
POP Limited - Nami Sailing Again (Crimin ver.)
This was announced earlier and preorders are still up until the 8th of August 2012. She will be coming with a POP Official Guidebook and is scheduled to be released this coming 20th of December (see more info here). But Nami has a lot of swimsuit version already and fans including me are looking forward for a Nico Robin in swimsuit.
POP Sailing Again - Tony Tony Chopper (Kung-fu Point ver.)
The first Tony Tony Chopper POP that shows him on a different fighting form. Looking nice in full color. This will be released this coming November for 3,150 Yen. Not too expensive so I will be getting this one also. But I'm still hoping for another Chopper form. How about a "Horn Point" Megahouse?
POP Limited - Rob Lucci ver. 1.5
POP Limited - Tony Tony Chopper Sailing Again (Kyupin ver.)
Nope! Still NOT interested!
Other One Piece Merchandise
Sentinel’s H.O.O.K. based on One Piece Film Z!!!?
I was actually surprised that they are now making H.O.O.K. products based on One Piece Film Z already (which will be shown at Japanese theaters on December 2012), and Robin looks really sexy here. Now I want to collect these HOOK's.
I believe this will be the start of more One Piece figures based on Film Z. How about that Megahouse? Bring it on for your POP's.
