Re-releasing POP Shichibukais


Seems like MegaHouse is slowing down a little. This month's POP preorders aren't fresh new figures but re-releases of the two Shichibukais - POP Neo-DX - Donquixote Doflamingo and POP Sailing Again - Trafalgar Law. Preorder starts on Wednesday, 3rd of July 2013 at 18:00 (JST).

We saw Doflamingo displayed during the recently held MegaHobby EXPO exhibit and also given that he's a part of the Punk Hazard arc, I already guessed that he will be re-released sometime soon. But I'm surprised of Law's early return to the preorder line-up as he was just released less than a month ago.

MegaHouse's preorder offering for the month of June was POP Neo-DX - Dracule Mihawk Ver. 2, a Shichibukai. And for July, two more Shichibukais. What could this mean? Does this mean that they are going to release/re-release a series of Shichibukais? Is this an indication of an upcoming Jinbe ver. 2? Crocodile ver. 1.5? A Marineford Boa Hancock with Salome? Of finally, a POP Buggy? Then that would be awesome.

    1. Same here, I skipped the Figuarts ZERO version of Law as the POP is waaaay a lot better.
      If you're a huge fan of Law, better go for the POP version.
      It will really give you goosebumps whenever you look at it for his uncanny resemblance to Trafalgar Law :)

    1. I preorder on various sites, depending the availability and of course whichever offer the best deal. I usually check out Amiami, Hobby Search and HLJ since they offer preorders on schedule.
      I also preorder at Figmation, Hobby Frontier and Animarket if I find their offer better considering the shipping costs.
