One Piece Stacking Vignette Box

Found some interesting One Piece candy box toys I found while looking around AmiAmi and thought I would write a short review about them. Bandai has just released their orders for Stacking Vignette One Piece - Episode Fishman Island figures. These come with 5 characters per box, along with a piece of gum. These mini figures comes with a character piece as well as a counter part, which can also be put together with one another.

The figures can be put together along with the counter parts which creates a mini model of the Fishman Island Arc. The set of 5 comes out to be 2,040 JPY or roughly around 25$ Canadian depending on the shipping will change the final price. Take a look at these figures and enjoy!

Banpresto & MegaHouse Promo Posters!!

Can't wait for this month's Banpresto releases!! For Banpresto's Grand Line Men series we have Sanji, Zoro, and Chopper coming out at the end of this month; most likely around the 28th or so. Collectors, be sure to look out for them on Mandarake since I'm sure once they are on there, they will sell out really fast!

We also have some up coming figures from MegaHouse's P.O.P (Portrait of Pirates) series as well. I can't wait for my DonFlamingo and Moria to come out soon, but at the same time I am very worried since I need to save up for those two because of their shipping cost! None the less I am VERY close to finishing my collection of Shichibukai characters!

Currently thinking about buying P.O.P NEO Shanks since I love him so much and at the same time thinking about getting Ben Beckman if I so happen to get Shanks. The only thing I'm worried is MegaHouse releasing a New World version of Shanks to go with Ben Beckman, but this might not happen for a while since they just entered new world. We will see. Enjoy!

Banpresto 2012 One Piece Convention

Banpresto's 2012 One Piece convention has started just three days from now and from all the photo's being shown online, there are so many awesome figures that I thought I would like to share with you all. All the images can be found from the following links at the bottom of this post, but here is a list of Banpresto's up coming releases. Check out their blogs as well! There are a lot of other figures other than One Piece characters and some pretty awesome prototypes being shown.

Banpresto Ichiban Kuji: The Legend of Edward Newgate & The Legend of Gol D. Roger, Girl's Collection: Shirahoshi, Hancock, and Perona, and Chopper & Creatures. 

From The Grand Line Series: Grand Line Men - Garp, Young Shanks, Shiki (all Vol.0), Franky (Vol.13), and Grand Line Ships Vol.1 & 2 - Thousand Sunny and Moby Dick. 

From Banpresto SCultures and SCultures BIG we have the figures from the One Piece Colosseum. I am aware that some people on forums have been asking about what the difference is between the SCulture and SCulture BIG series, but to my best knowledge I am unsure of myself. Some people state that the figures are a little taller for SCulture BIG but there are characters such as Nami being labelled BIG where as X-Drake is still the regular SCulture. If I do however find out more information on this, I will post an update on this matter.

From what I have seen so far, I am pretty excited about the Ichiban Kuji: Chopper & Creatures releases since they have Karu and a bunch of well detailed characters. There is a mystery character that has not been uncovered but who ever the character is, it should be awesome! If you have any question on any of the resource links provided at the bottom, please leave a comment and I will get back to you on that! Enjoy!

Banpresto 2012 One Piece New Series

Been looking around on a few blogs with updates on Banpresto's One Piece announcements and they have introduced a new series along with a Grand Line Lady Special edition series. Banpresto has announced their new series Grand Line Ships, similar to the Memories of Merry, which was released last year. The size of these ships are still not confirmed but based on the images, we will be seeing the Thousand Sunny, Moby Dick, and Marine ships. We are probably going to see this come out roughly around July 2012, but this date has not yet been confirmed.

Another new figure is the addition of the Grand Line Lady Special edition with Shirahoshi. She is scaled down in reference to the Grand Line Lady series, which is probably the reason why they made her a special edition. I am hoping that once we see some interesting Lady characters, they will be part of the special edition series with Shirahoshi as well.

Finally there are some new updates on the WCF (World Collectible Figures) coming out very soon as well. Take a look at some of the new figures that are coming out shortly. I know I haven't been writing much on the WCF One Piece figures, but I will try my best to find out more about these since I know a bunch of you collect the WCF's more that the Banpresto and MegaHouse figures.

1/144 World Scale One Piece Figures

Shirahoshi has been added to the 1/144 World Scale One Piece figure series, just a few days ago. It is said that she can be obtained at certain online stores such as BigInJapan. She is an addition to the Thriller Park series with Oars, which came out 2-3 months ago, but for 4,400 yen for a decent looking Shirahoshi is not too bad. She is only 120 mm (12 cm) tall, not as detailed as her P.O.P figure but a decent addition to your One Piece collection.

P.O.P NEO-DX Ben Beckman & Shirahoshi

This weeks pre-orders has just released P.O.P (Portrait of Pirates) NEO-DX Ben Beckman and Sailing Again - Shirahoshi!! Sadly I was too late to order Ben Beckman. Even though I don't have Shanks yet, the Red Haired Pirates are my second favorite groups in the One Piece Series. Ben Beckman comes with two types of faces, his "younger" self and his New World look, much like what he looks like now from the anime. His sculpt is just fantastic and he is currently going for 5800-6000 yen; much cheaper than expected. I am hoping that once he is out on the market I would be able to find him and start a Akagami collection.

 Next we have P.O.P Sailing Again - Shirahoshi announced for this weeks pre-order as well! She doesn't come with any inter-changeable parts, but she does come with a mini luffy figure. I wish they included a second head with her crying face, which she is pretty much known for. In terms of her size, they scaled her down but she is pretty much the same height as New World Zoro, slightly a little bit shorter from some photo's I have seen posted on forums. The details on her is pretty awesome and coloring is done really well! I do like her character, but not enough for me to buy her to add to my collection. If I am able to find her for a cheaper deal in Japan, I may consider getting myself one if I happen to find one.
