We already knew what Bandai has to offer for October 2013's Figuarts ZERO. But today they announced the preorder schedule info for these two pre-timeskip One Piece Characters. Figuarts ZERO - Enel and Figuarts ZERO - Perhona (Thriller Bark Edition) will be available for preorder on Monday, 1st of July 2013 at 16:00 (JST). Official promo images has already made available on their website and for your convenience, I also made these available here on my blog.
It's nice to see that Bandai still consider releasing pre-timeskip characters. Sure they can gain a lot of money by releasing current anime and manga characters (and their new appearances) but there are some fans (like me) who would love to immortalize their classic look.
God Enel is one annoying but famous character. It serves as a reminder for Skypeia arc and how Luffy hilariously nullifies his power, giving that famous overly shocked and funny face. Based on these images, the figure comes three different faces (laughing, slurping and shocked) and two left hands (one normal and one with lightning effect). That shocked face looks totally like the one that comes with POP Neo-DX God Enel.
Perhona has already made it to the Figuarts ZERO line-up before, on her post-timeskip appearance that is. But seeing her in a pre-timeskip Figuarts ZERO is also a welcoming sight for sore eyes with all those pink colors and cute horo-horos. I'm sure that there are a lot of Perhona fans out there who is now eager to get this. I don't see any optional parts though and the base probably won't look like that.
Below are the details of these two Figuarts ZEROs
Figuarts ZERO - Enel
- Price: 4,410 yen
- Release Date: October 2013
Figuarts ZERO - Perhona (Thriller Bark Edition)
- Price: 3,675 yen
- Release Date: October 2013
These two figures calls for another preorder battling at those giant hobby shops - Amiami, HLJ, and Hobby Search. So be sure to get ready for your browser and F5 key as soon as the clock hits 16:00 (JST) on Monday. I'm now crossing fingers for the final production release.
Update (2013-07-03): Preoders are now up (and sold-out) at Amiami [ Enel | Perhona ], Hobby Search [ Enel | Perhona ], HLJ [ Enel | Perhona ]

aaaaa i didn't get pre-order Figuarts Zero Perhona because i didn't know when pre-order starts :(
ReplyDeletei just realize it at 21:00 (JST) and when i checked Hobby Search & AmiAmi, reservation is closed already, so sad..
fortunately, pre-order for Figuarts Zero Enel is still available..
i have bookmarked your blog because your blog really helpful to help me notice the pre-order schedule :D
Thanks for appreciating my blog :)
DeleteSad to hear you missed Perhona.
Don't lose hope though, HLJ haven't offer preorder for these two figures yet, so you may still have a chance.
But you may also keep and eye on Amiami and Hobby Search from time to time. Figuarts ZERO preorders sometimes opens and closes on those stores
yeah sure, i hope you always updated your blog :D
Deleteyup, i just curious, why HLJ haven't offer preorder for those two figures yet..
usually, they offer preorder at the same time with Hobby Search and AmiAmi..
yup, i got my Figuarts Zero Luffy Battle Ver from AmiAmi, after i keep an eye on AmiAmi hahaha..
Do you know where i can get Figuarts Zero Law Shichibukai Ver.?
Yes, I'm trying my best to keep it updated :)
DeleteIt's not unusual for HLJ to be late, they're not actually on schedule most of the time. The good news is that, Enel and Perhona is now open for preorder on HLJ now
For Trafalgar Law, most of the stores that I usually visit were all out of stock except for Figureshop2Go in Hong Kong.
