Figuarts Zero: Smoker and Figuarts Zero: Law (Punk Hazard)

I'm still on a wild One Piece kick (as always).  I know, I know, it's a lot of One Piece lately despite getting new cards, new games, new books and other goods, but I can't help it right now (sorry!)  

I wanted to do a quick little review of a couple of figures I picked up that go along very well with the recent episodes involving Punk Hazard: timeskip Smoker and timeskip Law!

First of all, the lighting I had sucked (stormy weather) I'm hoping my next set of photos will turn out better.  As always I start out with the Figuarts Zero boxes, which look good! Typical and not really too interesting, but keeping everything in place and letting you know about the figure inside.  I really need to get Tashigi and Ceasar Clown at some point....

Figure time! Man these guys look good straight out of the box, and pretty nice next to each other.  These two really made the arc for me, so I had to include them in my collection.

Standard bases, Marine for Smoker and Jolly Roger of the heart pirates for Law.  I gotta say, I dig that the feet are positioned just around the logos so you can still enjoy them when viewing.

Smoker has an amazing sculpt, and his vice admiral duds are were addressed in this figure.  My only concern is a few spots on the paintwork involving his green fringe, it tends to bleed onto the white parts of his coat.  It's not bad, but noteworthy.

I really like Oda giving him sunglasses, and the inclusion of them for this figure.  It can be difficult to see Smoker's face with his arm coming across.  There is a second arm to address this that look pretty good resting on his sleeve.

We can't forget about Law though, as he looks really nice in this pose.  It is a rather simple standing pose which may put people off, but that knowing smirk is what really draws myself to it anyway.  I don't know why they missed the chance to give him an alternate arm including either his 'room' or 'tact' hand pose (other than they knew a battle version coming out).  I really don't have any complaints about Law here, everything has a nice paint job and even the texture of his coat is included.

The only extra part they threw in was Law with his hat off.  I guess was used as a big draw for him considering this was the first Law figure to not include his hat.  It looks good, but I much prefer his hat as it feels like a part of his character.

So there they are! There is little to say about these guys since they are overall just very appealing! To anyone who is a fan of either of these One piece guys, I say get them!  Most figure shops still have these guys in stock.
