Megahouse POP DX Ver. 2 Dracule Mihawk

Hello everyone! For this post, we will be showcasing actual pictures of Portrait of Pirates (POP) DX Dracule Mihawk Ver. 2. The Portrait of Pirates line is Megahouse's high-quality figures for One Piece Characters. The POP line is characterized by excellent details and are larger in size as compared to Figuarts Zero figures. I am comparing the two since Figuarts Zero is another product line that caters to numerous One Piece characters.

Dracule Mihawk is the greatest swordsman in the world of One Piece. He is Roronoa Zoro's ultimate aim. Aside from this, he is also one of the Shichibukai. Very early on in the series, he met Roronoa Zoro and they had a duel which resulted in Zoro's loss. After that, the both of them had a very peculiar relationship where Mihawk became Zoro's rival and teacher at the same time. Mihawk is one of the very cool characters in One Piece if you ask me. I personally like Roronoa Zoro and it is only right that Zoro is aiming for a guy like this considering how epic Dracule Mihawk is. 

Mihawk is also known as "Hawk Eyes" and if you look at his eyes in this POP figure, you will see where he got this nickname from. 

This PoP figure is the second version of Dracule Mihawk released. The first version reflected the original style of drawing for the One Piece series wherein most characters had a more cartoon appearance. With this Version 2 of Mihawk's PoP, it reflects the current trend in One Piece drawings wherein the characters are much more realistic in their body shapes as compared to their appearances in the first few episodes of One Piece.

This figure stands about 10 inches tall excluding the sword from its measurement. Aside from his stock pose folding his arms, he also comes with an extra head, two arms, two hands, one black sword, and another cross necklace. That's quite a lot of interchangeable parts considering that Mihawk will only be standing in this PoP. The number of interchangeable parts provides you with more options on how you can pose him and I think the numebr of parts also justify his more expensive pricing in the secondary market.

This figure is pretty epic but please be careful when handling the sword. Also, I didn't notice at first but I didn't screw the head in properly when I first took pictures. The other head comes with his spiky hair which can be a bit sharp when you're trying to put it on him. Enjoy the actual pictures below!

Master Stars Piece MSP Hinata Shoyo - Haikyuu!! - Banpresto

Hello! Here are actual pictures of Banpresto's Master Stars Piece of Hinata Shoyo from Haikyuu. As what you would expect from a figure of this scale and price, the paint job is not that super great, but it's actually good. In fact, I like this figure very much. The consistency in paint job could differ for each figure, but this is nothing out of the ordinary that you would expect from a prize figure. I got this figure for around P1,000 which is usually how much Master Stars Pieces sell for (except the special limited ones which could go as high as P2,500 - P3,000). Hinata is one of the main characters in the anime show Haikyuu!! He is supposedly small but has incredible jumping power which earned him the distinction of being the best decoy. His combination with Tobio Kageyama, however, is also a deadly weapon for their team. You can actually pose this figure of Hinata together with Tobio since there is also a Master Stars Piece of Tobio Kageyama - although we weren't ab...

Megahouse GEM Naruto - The Last

For today, we have actual product shots of Megahouse's Naruto - The Last Movie Ver. This item is quite simple with few accessories. However, don't let the simplicity fool you. The item is actually quite nice and the details are good (as expected of GEM). I got this piece for around P4,000. The Last movie takes place two years after the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke. Below is a picture of the item outside its box. As you can see, it only consists of three things: the item itself the base of the item, and  the plastic support for the running pose of the figure. The base uses metal pegs to support Naruto standing up on one leg only. I really appreciate this since I had a figure before that stood up only on one leg too. The peg got broken and I can't display the figure anymore without looking for a solution. With the metal pegs, the chances of the peg breaking is practically zero.  The design of the base is simple but, then again, I have seen much wors...

Figuarts Zero Perhona (Thriller Bark) from One Piece

Hello everyone! I'm back with another post. This time, I'm going to be doing a quick review of Figuarts Zero's Perhona from One Piece. This is the Thriller Bark edition and not the New World / Sailing Again edition. If you ask me, I prefer Perhona in the Thriller Bark arc since I think her costume is better and her color scheme is quite good at that time. She looks like candy by looking at her predominantly pink colors. And I also prefer her younger version during the Thriller Bark arc as compared to the more mature version of herself after the timeskip. Perhona (sometimes just Perona) first appeared in the Thriller Bark storyline. She used to serve under Gekko Moriah, the Shichibukai, but now she is seen tagging along Dracule Mihawk. It seems that Perhona has also developed somewhat of a relationship with Zoro since the both of them were taking up residence in Dracule Mihawk's mansion after the Sabaody Arc. Perhona's devil fruit power (Hollow Hollow Fruit / Hor...
