Gomu Gomu Nooo... Red Hawk!!!

Gomu Gomu Nooo... Red Hawk!!!

Figuarts ZERO June releases has now appeared on the One Piece Tamashii official website. It's finally the battle version of Luffy which is totally wicked. And along with him is the main villain of the fishman island arc, Hordy Jones.

I'm surprised that the battle version of Luffy is a based on his post timeskip appearance. It is unlike the previous battle ver. characters whereas all of them were in their post timeskip appearance. I'm actually expecting Jet Pistol or Jet Gatling attacks, but since it's post timeskip, he is posed in his cool and awesome Red Hawk attack. An attack that pays tribute to his brother Ace. This is a great release by Bandai. It actually looks like an Attack Motion release. I really hope that the final retail release will look as great as these promo images.

On the other hand, Figuarts ZERO - Hordy Jones isn't really a battle ready version, but they made him look really cool here. This is his appearance during the time when he just took a lot of energy steroids that made him transform in this massive form. It will be uncool if they made a Hordy Jones in his original beer belly appearance, right? I guess these two were made to relive the final moments of the fishman island arc, so these to should come together.
