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!
