It's been a while! So that means it's time for another figure with a long title: Excellent Model Portrait.Of.Pirates ONE PIECE "MAS" Tony Tony Chopper Horn Point 1/8 Complete Figure. The new line of P.O.P. are "MAS" which stands for "Motion Ability Statue" as the newer figures are supposed to be more action oriented poses.
Here is the box, and yes, it is a large one. Being a foot tall (30 cm) means it will be pricey shipping wise. This box is clean with light blue colors and bold white on brown lettering. I like that Chopper's boxes seem to always come with the 'X' shape on one of the windows.
As a "MAS" P.O.P. this means it won't come with any additional parts. This is fine for collectors like myself that find the one pose and keep figures that way, but not good for collectors that like to swap out parts. I just really wanted a super cute figure of Chopper's new Horn point anyway!
Here he is in the plastic hold that kept Chopper safe in the box, and the first look at the hot pink base! I actually really dig it, it matches Chopper and looks different from previous pale pink bases.
Chopper out of the box! He reminds me of Luffy in this form and I guess that's what I love about it. He just seems strong/capable as well as lovable in this point, and I wish we saw it more often in the manga/anime. The combination of the pose, details and proportions are fantastic! What a cutie~
The horns really are the best feature on this figure. I can't believe how close to the manga/anime they match. I'm not even worried about the figure leaning with these because it feels so balanced with the mass of hair in the back of the figure.
The molding on all the separate parts are a nice combination. The clothes crease realistically, and the fur is shaded and sculpted out really well. The fur on his arms looks different from the mane flowing down his back. I'm liking the details on Chopper's hooves as well.
Size time! Here is Horn point Chopper with his Brain Point Chopper from the Figuarts Zero line. With the Large Horns he is a over 8 inches (20 cm) tall, so it's important to make sure you have room for this guy. While I can get him to stand without the base, he is much better on it, plus it looks good. So that's all! it's rare for me to pick up a preorder P.O.P. but I couldn't pass this guy up. Pre owned versions should be hitting amiami soon, and well as a couple of sale ones in the future.
