We have here an unboxing review of an Excellent Model Portrait.Of.Pirates Sailing Again version – Monkey D. Luffy. This is a 1/8 scale PVC figure which is manufactured by Megahouse. This is the first POP SA figure we have opened so we really did not know what to expect. But all I can say regarding POP figures is that they do make one of the best One Piece scale figures out there. Not to mention that the figures come with several other poses. “Sailing Again” refers to the return of the Straw Hat crew after the “2 year time-skip”. By this time, Luffy already have scars on the chest, other than that he looks almost entirely the same. This figure comes with 3 facial expressions and 7 arms you can choose from. Plus you get to have a piece of MEAT that Luffy always love!

CONCLUSION

an overall great figure especially is you are a One Piece fan! Face looks very much like Luffy and the scars on his chest are nicely done. The swapping of parts is a really nice addition, gives the owner some options on how he wants to pose the figure (not to mention play factor). Paint job is awesome, nice work regarding that eh Megahouse…

hmm what else? ah! I was told that pegs on the base tend to break easily so if I were you, avoid using the base or if you will use it, just sticky-tack the figures on the base and do not use the pegs…

that is all… feel free to leave comments and/or your personal experiences regarding this figure.
