The Prideful Samurai Kid of Wano Country


As soon as the preorders for POP CB-EX - Momonosuke opened two days ago (see the preorder announcement here), the official promo shots of the Samurai kid from Wano Country made it's way to the internet via online hobby shops and via Megahobby Station. So we get to see what a small POP can offer us aside from the figure itself.

Based on these photos, we can have some alternate display options. The head can be replace with... well what other unique facial expression he has - the perverted look. It's just actually a silly and funny touch from the folks a MegaHouse but interestingly, that expression is spot-on. It really captures his perverted nature. It would be fun to see him with that expression next to some lovely female POPs.

Another display option for this figure is by having him naked. He's stripped off everything except for his wooden slippers and loincloth undergarment. It is said the the Kimono parts are detachable, but I don't see any open seam on it. Does that mean we'll have to forcibly detach it from the glue, like POP Boa Hancock and other castoffable POPs? If that's the case, nevermind. I ain't gonna break it just to see him displayed naked. 

POP CB-EX - Momonosuke is set to be a late-August 2014 release for 3,100 yen (tax inclusive). It isn't too expensive so this made it to my must-get list. Hope we'll get a POP Kinemon to go along with him,... or maybe a POP Robin in a bath towel :)
