I can't believe Bandai is doing this, should be very interesting! From BBTS: ""Cyborg" Franky, the popular shipwright and member of Straw Hat Pirates from One Piece who conducts self modifications via shipwreck scrap metal appropriately joins the super alloy line-up of the Chogokin series. Figure features cutting-edge gimmicks such as Strong Right projection punch and one touch hairstyle change! Shoulder parts open to expose rocket launcher, forearm parts open to expose tool box, and stomach parts open to expose refrigerator with chilled cola! A full array of accessory parts are included in set: interchangeable head part, a total of 6 interchangeable hand parts (6 large- includes one right hand part gripping large cola bottle, 2 small), cola (3 bottle set), hammer, wrench, missiles (2 large, 8 small), special display stand with support arm, and special parts storage box." www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN13970&mode=retail&picture=aux2tamashii.jp/special/onepiece/product_cgk_franky.html

Here is a big pictorial review (Franky has more gimmicks than first advertized... they could be story spoilers if you are not up to date with the manga): onepiece.ria10.com/Entry/1468/Chrome translation give me headaches so I don't know if they mention how much diecast there is. Since it looks good and HLJ has a sale I just bought one. I'll leave my impressions once I receive Franky.

Looks like a really fun gokin. Too bad it doesn't have much of the other One Piece action figures to go with. The Bandai statues while nice are no fun, while the S.H.Figuarts ones are few and don't look that great, while Franky alone is overloaded with fun and gimmicks.

Nice pics man. I've been keeping an eye one this one. If I collect anything one piece this would be a no brainer pickup. He's got lots of gimmicks!
Thanks dude.

I am really on the fence on this one. On one hand, I really like the funkiness and gimmicks this guy has. Seems like very fun to mess with and handle. But on the other hand, Franky doesn't go with anything else unless you already have a One Piece Figuarts Zero collection (which I don't, and will cost meto track them down). The other option is S.H.Figuarts, which don't look that great in general and looks like the One Piece line is pretty dead already, and the outfits don't match Franky's version either. Not likely we'll get the whole crew, making it tough to just have Franky on its own. Then we have Megahouse's POP statues, which look very nice. But they are way too big in scale, and quite costly to get a few.
I've recently been watching One Piece (season 2 so far) and start enjoying it quite a bit. So I would love to get a good set of action figures of the characters. But with whats out there right now, it really doesn't look good to start with Franky...

Great pics silverdonz!! I can’t wait to receive mine. BTW, how much metal is there?
I've seen about 200 episodes in the last two weeks to catch up to the anime. Sometimes the anime drags some story arcs but the series is full of EPIC moments.
So mpchi, the Figuarts are the only to scale figs to chogokin Franki? I’m new to the world of One Piece merchandize and there are a TON of them by different companies.

Guys, I'd highly recommend reading the manga instead of watching the anime. The anime is slow paced with subpar voice acting. The manga is sooooo good. It will also save you time and keep you up to date on the latest plot development.
One piece is pretty awesome. I believe it already is one of the longest running manga of all times and it's only supposed to be half way done.

Weird. Just a weird toy. I think a Looney Toons Marvin Martian would be cooler.
