Official Photos: POP Edition-Z - Nico Robin

Official promo images of the POP Edition-Z - Nico Robin appeared on the Mega Hobby Station just before preorders for this lovely POP is about to open. A lot of distributors for the international release has already offered preorders yesterday (along with POP SA-Maximum - Armored Franky), but as usual, Japanese retailers will be on time with MegaHouse's official timing (see the preorder announcement here)

These promo images are as lovely and sexy as the figure. She does not come with much accessories though. Only a removable cowboy hat, a sword and a rifle that she can hold in her right hand. But anyway, I believe every figure collector will fall in love with her. Some are actually complaining that this POP doesn't look much like Nico Robin. Well, the same can also be said to the POP Sailing Again - Nico Robin, right? It's really hard to capture Nico Robin's face in 3D figures and I haven't really seen a lot of figures that looks totally like her, most specially in her timeskip appearance. So I don't care, I'm still getting this beauty and will probably get all the Edition-Z POPs.

Slated to be released on June 2013 for 7,770 yen (tax included).

Update: Preorders are now open at Figmation, HLJ, Hobby Search, Amiami, Animarket and Hobby Frontier

New Release Photo Review: POP Sailing Again - Tony Tony Chopper (Kung Fu Point ver)

The second form of Chopper under the POP Sailing Again series was just released last Friday, 30th of November 2012. For those who hasn't received his copy yet, and for those who are still undecided of getting this figure, here are some photos taken from a retail release of this figure for you to view (courtesy of blog.livedoor.jp).

Official Posters: POP Kidd and Killer

Two days before the preorder begins for POP Neo-Maximum - Eustass Kidd and POP Neo-DX - Killer, MegaHouse releases the official promotional posters for these two. And based from these posters, the price for Kidd is 12,600 yen and price for Killer is 7,560 yen, both tax included. Kidd is almost double the price of an average DX. Not so surprised because of that huge accessory. I guess that's what a Neo-Maximum subline is meant to be. Both are December releases.

The official photos of POP Sailing Again - Tony Tony Chopper (Kung Fu Point) has been released by MegaHouse. And as I am writing this, preorders for this cute figure has just been opened, but unfortunately, Amiami, Hobby Search and HLJ has already closed their reservations. Same is true with POP SA - Sanji (re-release). But don't lose hope, there are still a lot of online stores that hasn't closed or hasn't offered this yet, so keep an eye on those.
