Today, Bandai Tamashii Nations officially unveiled their August 2013 One Piece Figuarts ZERO releases - Figuarts ZERO - Smoker (Punk Hazard ver) and Figuarts ZERO - Tashigi (Punk Hazard ver). Both figures looks totally fantastic in these official images.

Joining the earlier announced Punk Hazard characters - Law and Caesar, these two figures depicts their characters' appearance in the Punk Hazard arc. Tashigi is portrayed with Smoker's Heart in her, so in a sense, this is still Smoker and not Tashigi. The only way you can make her Tashigi herself is to put that smiling alternate face with eyeglasses on. But in that case, we haven't really seen Tashigi smiling with an unbuttoned blouse. I just wished that Bandai included a buttoned blouse so we can still see the real Tashigi. Other option parts are Smoker's Nanashaku Jitte, sheated and unsheated katana

On the other hand, Smoker looks really cool with marines' military coat and sunglasses. The pose is totally awesome. Unlike Tashigi, he doesn't have a Tashigi's Heart option. But who would like to see a feminine Smoker anyway? That one looks terrible.. really! He comes with an alternate right arm that is holding the sunglasses.

From these promo images, they are totally outstanding. I just hope that the final retail release were as good as these shots. Below are the details of these two figures
