Gear 5 Luffy!

Postby RedRoo » Thu Feb 08, 2024 6:48 am

I have such high hopes for this pop because OMLORRRRRRRRRRD does it look good.

I pray they use the Glow in the dark well on it. Theres big chances to make this a grail in most peoples collections.

I wish it had a mouth, the mold is good though the glow is fine.

Im a bit weary on the mouth idea only because i seen it fail in the past, Pops with mouths sorta scare at times.

Glow in the dark is on point for sure if they roll some out like that. It would be cool. :freddy3:

I have a feeling that this is not the last mold we will see of this specific variant of this character lol.. may be another variant that pops up later on with a mouth, who knows

The glow could've definitely been better for the chase variant for Luffy Gear 5. Such a disappointment unfortunately...

Definitely agree, a mouth would have made this figure.. pop lol

Just a thought, maybe a potential new wanted poster with mouth and updated bounties?! Maybe...

nah to soon for a new wanted poster. they gotta give it a little time before they produce a new one to prevent overproduction of simmalure items.

I really thought he was gonna need a mouth but I think he actually still looks great without one. I should preorder one before it’s to late lol

I have a few japan figures I picked up last year with the mouth. Funko being funko, I’m still good without a mouth too.

Maybe Funko is saving a better mold for the Cons? The chase one looks a bit underwhelming ngl.

I think this chase came out okay. I think everyone one is right and should have added his mouth. Overall I really like the mold.

I think Funko can get a bit lazy sometimes with pops. But the One Piece pops are some of their best work. The colors and design look so good.
