Megahobby Expo 2011 comes with a ton of awesome One Piece news, including a bunch of Portrait of Pirates news from Megahouse. Enough that I’m splitting it into two articles! First off is the first wave of the new timeskip versions of Luffy, Nami, and Zoro. For those not current in the storyline, some events [...]

There’s been a boatload of Ace statues lately and after seeing this partcular scene in the manga, it was a guarantee there’d be one or two based off of it. Ace and Luffy, the brothers finally fighting together? Gold! These sold out shortly after they were available so if you’re curious if it’s worth the [...]

Today I’m reviewing the captain of the Strawhat crew himself, Luffy, from the Megahouse Portrait of Pirates statue line. He was obviously part of the very first wave created for this line of statues and he’s been re-released once or twice in the Neo line, though they only made modifications to his design once. Check [...]

I’ve never heard of DPCF (Door Painting Collection Figure) but this looks to be a rather nice first release from them. It’s based on an image of Luffy from a One Piece cover, the three musketeers version. While I can appreciate the sculpt/paint on the prototype, it seems really out of character for him. That’s [...]

These are the highest quality shots to date of the S.H. Figuarts Luffy and Ace figures and unfortunately, I still think that Ace is looking pretty bad. On the other hand, Luffy is good. If you’re interested, they should be up at most import stores.

Megahouse doesn’t usually do this so no complaints from me, it just seems…bizarre? They release a few of these exclusives, but rarely do they have anything to do with the series. In a series where the characters wear so many different outfits, it makes more sense to me to release another outfit seen in the [...]

Here’s a magazine scan that’s been making the rounds, showing off the painted versions of the S.H. Figuarts Luffy and Ace from One Piece, as well as Gohan from Dragonball Z. The Ace isn’t looking as good as I’d have hoped, he seems a tad generic. Gohan and Luffy on the other hand, not bad, [...]

Now you guys know I rather enjoy the Megahouse One Piece statues, but pretty much all the action figures I’ve seen looked awful. Seems after quite a few years that they’re finally planning to bring out some nice looking ones. They’re called the S.H.Figuarts series and I’ll have more details as they’re available.
