>>10144220>thinking it WILL happen because a figure from a completely unrelated line looks good makes no senseNo one has successfully done an articulated One Piece line that even covers the Straw Hats...never mind some of the more obscure fan favorites. All Bandai needs to do is give the line a strong start and then they can coast off the license for literal decades, so I doubt they are going to repeat the same mistakes they made with the original Figuarts run. Additionally, I'd argue that the recent IW Luffy shows that Bandai is willing to invest the talent and resources into making One Piece figures that do look good. Obviously there is evidence that suggests things could be shitty, but I'm more optimistic for this line given some of Bandai's recent releases.
All speculation aside, my dream of maybe getting a figure of pic related makes me excited by default.
