Banpresto Grand Line Children & Figuarts ZERO Figures


Here are some up coming pre-orders for both Banpresto and Bandai Figuarts ZERO figures. All of which are pretty awesome and might consider pre-ordering myself. For the Grand Line Children - Lucci and Jabara, I might consider just because I don't have their adult version of these figures but if there was I would. As for Bandai Figuart ZERO - Ryuma figures, I might consider getting this figure since Banpresto hasn't made a lot of the side characters such as Bepo, Sentomaru, Coby, etc. I am hoping that Banpresto would make a Ryuma figure, but I highly doubt they will since he's not a major character and also not in high demand. From the looks of Bandai's prototype he looks pretty awesome here.

Good day sir, I would like to ask about Banpresto DX figures, specifically the Grandline Series. Do you think they are scaled figures like Megahouse's P.O.P? Please do contact me, I am interested in One Piece Figurine. abcbajet@gmail.com

In terms of scale, the Banpresto DX figures are pretty well scaled to their own series. Their own series as in Grand Line Men, Grand Line Lady, Grand Line Children, etc. I find that the scaling of the Grand Line Men and Lady are relatively accurate, but the Grand Line Children are not. However, I find that the Grand Line Children series is the perfect scale for the Mega House P.O.P series. I am personally more of a fan to the Grand Line Children series compared to the Mild P.O.P series, just because of the details and the facial expression is much better captured in the Banpresto series.

I only started collecting more of the Banpresto DX series because of the cost of the P.O.P figure has been rising a lot as well as their popularity, so getting some of them has been pretty difficult. I would comment on one thing that I am unsure of for myself is the scale for really large characters such as Moria, Kuma, Garp, etc. Banpresto DX Grand Line Men/Lady series has so far only done up to Vol.11 (men) Vol.1 (Lady), which are all relatively close to their own scale but they have not introduced any large characters. I believe that once Franky's New World figure comes out, which I hope will be soon, we will know their scale well enough.

hank you for answering my last comment in your blog.

How about Figuarts Zero Line, do you own some of these?
They have been producing Large Characters such as Brook and Franky.
And the upcoming figures Kuma and Moria.
Do you think they are more in scaling?
Most people/One Piece Collectors says that Figuarts Zero is the so
called smaller version of the P.O.P., it's like getting a P.O.P. with
different poses as well and don't forget the special effect parts
included. What can you say about it?
