Banpresto One Piece Kyun Chara & Yoshi

So many surprises came today and thought I would do a quick blog about it. First off, my friend Suzu-Nyaa from the Netherlands sent me this awesome gift of a Yoshi plushy! Surprisingly I never got a Yoshi gift in my life and I never got gifts from friends from a far so this is a shout out to you Suzu-Nyaa!! I also got my Banpresto Kyun Kara characters Disguised Time Skip Luffy and Prize A Bartholomew Kuma as well.

For Time Skip Luffy, this is probably one of my favorite Luffy characters from this Kyun Chara series. I saw him before on a few blogs and know I just had to have him into my collection. Finally got him and he is just perfect! Love the details in him and love his chibi face with his disguise!

Banpresto Prize A: Bartholomew Kuma, was something I did not expect (in term of size). I thought that Kuma would be a small chibi, but I didn't expect him to be pretty big! I love his chibi-fied version of him! Within the One Piece world, Kuma is probably one of my favorite characters in this series. The details on him is clean, no marks (as expected from Banpresto), he also stands without having to use those ugly stands, and his head moves. If you are a big Kuma fan like me, the Banpresto Prize A: Bartholomew Kuma would be a excellent addition to your collection! Enjoy!

Figuarts ZERO: One Piece

Here are just some updates on some up coming Figuarts ZERO figures coming out as well as some neat Chibi Kyun Kara figures for Ichiban Kuji as well. We are finally seeing Kuma, Smoker, and Tashigi from the Figuarts series. Unfortunately they are not the New World series, but knowing Bandai, they will make a New World version of them very soon depending on their popularity. For Kyun Kara for Ichiban Kuji, we have Akagami Pirates as well as some White Beard Pirate crew members. From what I know White Beard is a A Prize figure while the others are B-E Prize figures.

All these photo's are from Chopper-Mania's Blog so take a look over there! They have some neat things as well but they are in Japanese. If there are specific updates that you would like to read but it's in Japanese, send me a link and I will update the content in english. Enjoy!

Bandai Figuarts ZERO: Sentomaru

As some of you may have saw during the New Years post, I received Sentomaru during the Christmas break. As stated from the previous post, I am very impressed from Bandai's quality going up. Compared to Captain Buggy, Sentomaru does not come with any additional parts or changeable faces, but the scale is pretty accurate when placed with MegaHouse P.O.P Bartholomew Kuma and with Banpresto's Grand Line Men figures as well. It can be a nice addition, especially if Banpresto has not shown any concept or demos for any side characters such as Sentomaru. Here is a small gallery of Sentomaru. Enjoy the New Years!

Bandai Figuarts ZERO: Captain Buggy

I know I told myself that I would think twice when it comes to Bandai figures because of the quality I have been seeing online. but I got a few unexpected Christmas gifts that I thought I would share from my perspective. First off, I was very surprised at the quality that some of these Bandai Figuarts figures came out to be. I know that some people that collect these figures were not pleased with the quality of the paint or some of the sculpt quality was poorly made. I do believe they are inconsistent, but I was lucky enough to get two figures that were pretty well made.

Here's a short review of Bandai's Figuarts Zero: Captain Buggy figure. He comes with two forms (1) his normal form with his knives and (2) his miniature form when his other parts of the body was tied down. The heads are inter-changeable and he comes with a base plate. However, he is pretty well balanced that he can actually stand without the base.

The color and details done on the figure is well made. There are some imperfection on his hand holding the knives, which is lacking compared to the Banpresto or MegaHouse figures. I am treating this figure as equal to the other companies to bare with me here. The details done on his pants and clothes are pretty impressive and I love the fact that you can have inter-changeable faces, which is something Banpresto is missing. Unless you decide to go for the expensive MegaHouse figures, but for it's price and customization, Bandai Figuarts would be an alternative. Enough with the long read, check out some of these photos. Enjoy!
