POP Edition-Z has now went up for preorders on major hobby shops (check out the preorder announcement here). At the same time, official promo images has also went online at the Megahoby Station website. We haven't really seen a decent photo of the fully painted prototype until now, so I'm a little excited to see what is being offered to us by MegaHouse.
We have seen the unpainted prototype earlier so its pose and sculpt isn't really surprising anymore, though I must still say it's "incredibly awesome" since it isn't like what we've seen on previous Sanji's POPs before. But what's more interesting now is how its painted appearance looks like on every angle. And based on these images, it totally looks vibrant. Sanji's looks is on another level here. Not the usual "Men In Black" costume but a rather colorful outfit complete with a black feathery cape. That cape seems to be made of translucent black plastic, like those that comes with SA Brook and DX Doflamingo.
It seems that he does not come with any alternate option parts, but that isn't really a dealbreaker. And because of the pose and the colorful outfit, this must be the best Sanji POP there is. It's so exciting just thinking how all the Film Z POP would look like together when its completed. Now show me some Edition-Z Zoro and Luffy, MegaHouse!
To be released on September 2013 and will retail for 8,400 yen. Preorders are now open at Amiami, and Hobby Search, HLJ, Animarket and Figmation [JP | Int]. Strangely, this time Amiami didn't open at the exact timing and it didn't sold out for more than a hour. It's either Amiami's loyal customer went for another store, or its just only a few collectors wanted this figure. The latter might be true, since it's still available for preorder at Amiami, and Hobby Search by the time I'm writing this post.
But for me as usual, Figmation offers the best deal. I already placed my order yesterday morning as they offered it a day earlier. Nothing beats the early bird :)
