About a month ago, we received a news that Figuarts ZERO's Punk Hazard characters - Trafalgar Law (Shichibukai ver.) and Caesar Clown will be a May 2013 release. Yesterday, Bandai Tamashii Nations officially announced the release of these two Figuarts ZEROs on their official website and the official promotional images was also made available. Preorders will start next Tuesday, 5th of February at 16:00 (JST). Preorders starts Friday, 1st of February at 16:00 (JST).
Remember that these two figures were earlier exhibited during the Tamashii Nation 2012 event but there were no clear images available as these two were marked "Do not photograph" on that event. We got a blurry photo of these two and Caesar Clown was only shown in translucent black material. I thought that Bandai will be releasing him in gas form effect (Caesar's devil fruit ability). Apparently, it was just an unpainted prototype.
Based on these official photos. Caesar Clown is showing his logia devil fruit ability with those translucent effect parts around his body. Very nice and with that dynamic pose, Caesar Clown seems to be ready for battle. His face is is spot-on as we have seen on the manga.
But Trafalgar Law on the other hand looks too plain and simple to me. Nothing special about him, just in plain standing pose with an optional head that is without a cap. The face seems off and the hair on the optional head is too long and thick. I don't think that's how it looks like in the manga when removed his cap. It looks more like Luffy's hair. I'm not very much pleased with Law here. I hope Bandai will improve this before the release by adding some optional arms and some more facial expressions just like the POP version.
Anyway, that's just my opinion. I believe most Figuarts ZERO collectors will still get these two as they can actually be a nice addition to anyone's Figuarts ZERO collection.
As mentioned, both figures will be released on May 2013
