P.O.P DX Strong World Ace

Finally got my hands on P.O.P DX Strong World Ace figure just this morning and thought I would do a quick review of him. I've been debating on getting him for quite a while now and I just so happen to find him on Mandarake for under 40$ so I thought I mine as well complete my Strong World Collection.

First impression of him out of the box: I love him!! Surprisingly he's not that bad, even though I have read a lot of comments about his face being wrong. Unlike his Marine Ford Ace, the facial sculpt is done better compared to his Strong World sculpt. But the sculpt, pose, and the accessories that comes with the figure are excellent. The details are really well made and the coloring is consistent. I love the fact that he has two fire accessories so I can display him with out the ridiculous guns, even though it's the "Strong World" theme. Ace still looks like a bad ass without giving him two huge guns, in my opinion. 

The one thing I am a bit worried about is his hat, since you need to bend the string of the hat for it to stay on him while his hat is hanging from the back of his neck. Other than that I would highly recommend those who are Ace fans, should definitely get the Strong World Ace figure and add that to their collection. Enjoy!

Finally decided to open my P.O.P Roronoa Zoro Strong World edition. Had him in his box for quite some time now and decided to open him up and take some photo's of him. I still have the Strong World Chopper still in his box and probably will open him up in the next few weeks. For now, here's a short photo set of Zoro. He comes with the following in the box: 4 swords, 2 changeable heads, Strong World Gun, 1 extra arm, base plate, and the actual figure itself.

Wonder Festival 2011 One Piece Reveals

P.O.P DX Silver Rayleigh

Been searching on some websites on the Wonder Festival 2011 and found some new up coming releases for the P.O.P (Portraits of Pirates) line for One Piece. Here are two new reveals that will be coming out in 2011: The Dark King - Silver Rayleigh, Ace - Strong World ver. (finalized) & Boa Hancock wedding edition. There may be a chance that a wedding version of Luffy will come out to match with Boa Hancock later in the future. But here are some photos and links to various Wonder Festival blogs.

Figuarts Marco and Strong World ver. Shanks & Ace

Figuarts ZERO: Marco

Just a few updates on some upcoming pre-orders from Figuarts ZERO figures. They finally released the Strong World version of Shanks and Ave along with Marco, which I might say is probably the most decent looking one from the One Piece series. He comes with his blue flamed phoenix ability and it looks pretty sweet. Here are the links for the pre-orders from Otacute.

Figuarts Strong World Shanks & Portgas D. Ace

I haven't updated for a really long time, but I will get on that as soon as I updated all my photos. My Internship at Crispin Porter + Bogusky has ended not too long ago and it was fantastic! I'm hoping I will return and continue working there. As for now here's an update on what's coming up for One Piece figures in 2011. Indeed a Strong World version of Shanks and Portgas D. Ace is coming out, and here's a fully colored version of them here. Surprisingly these aren't P.O.P's but they are Figuarts version, I am wondering if P.O.P versions of these guys since will be out soon since I know a lot of you out there collect P.O.P models instead because of their quality (I know I do). Last time we saw the prototypes for the Shank's Strong World P.O.P version not too long ago, so hopefully it will be soon!! I hope to be seeing these guys on pre-orders on AmiAmi Online store very very soon! Watch out for these guys!
