Here's a stupid question: try and name a character that immediately comes to your mind when you see the word "troll" (no, not the one from Warcraft). I thought of Kizaru from One Piece, his face, he style of speech, his Devil Fruit ability and his outfit make him the king of trolls. Don't believe me? Watch the video:
Do you think he's a badass? I think not. Kizaru never seems to be serious when he's fighting, even when somebody points a gun at his head, his sarcastic tone makes everything sounds like a joke. As one of the three Admirals in the Marines, Kizaru adds quite the flavor into an otherwise dead serious top brass level of middle- to late-aged men (well, except for Aokiji).
So why do I even bother previewing him? Two reasons:
1. He's a troll, and you need a troll in your figure collection to make everything complete... or, you need him to complete your Admiral collection from Mega House.
2. His face and height make him the perfect molester for all kinds of messed up postures with other bishoujos in your collection for some nice, creative photos.
As always, the best One Piece PVC figures come from Mega House. This one is no exception. There are usually very few differences between the preview shots and the actual merchandise (unlike Kotobukiya)... Kizaru's troll face is faithfully reproduced here, with nice detailing on his striped yellow suit (who would want to wear this shit!?). The folds and crevices on his clothes look fairly realistic.
Based on the photos below, it looks like you can switch him with different hands: a pair that gets ready for a beam attack, a pair holding the light sabre he pulls out of thin air, and another pair in the same position except with more transparent colors indicating the activation of his Devil Fruit ability.
His Marine uniform is an additional accessory that can be removed if desired. Taking it off would make him look more like some producer in the Japanese AV industry, wouldn't you agree?
"It's time to start getting her undressed"
"Look you idiot, follow my gestures and pinch her sensitive parts like this..."
Kizaru measures up to around 260 mm, making him a pretty big figure, but he's likely shippable through SAL since Aokiji, who is around the same height as him, can be shipped via SAL. It's currently unclear whether or not his sunglasses can be taken off, but other than that, the number of accessories included looks decent: four pairs of hands, one light saber, and one uniform.
If you're a One Piece fan, there's no need for me to convince you to preorder him. For those who aren't interested in One Piece but are thinking of doing creative photo scoops with their existing collection, I would personally recommend getting him because of the intrinsic troll nature he carries.
