One Piece will always be dear to my heart as one of the few serial manga/anime series that I cannot turn away from no matter how far behind I am. So it makes me happy to see it going on strong and MegaHouse continuing to support it with their recent Portrait of Pirates STRONG EDITION series. We have already seen Chopper and the very hot Luffy get the Strong Edition followed by Zoro and Nami. Now it's Nico Robin and Usopp's turn.

I'm really loving the character designs from this series. I have Zoro on pre-order and if I see Luffy on discount, I'm snatching him up. Nico Robin may be next just for the coat and the interchangeable head with those glasses. F'in sexy! I don't even care for her character! Usopp is... well, very Usopp-y, looking very comical as usual in his samurai armor. For those who want him down to his pin-stripped suit, it appears you may have some work on your hands getting it back on later. And it is true! A suit on anyone really makes them hot. Even for Usopp.

Usopp and Nico Robin are set for a late May release. The accessory laden Usopp will retail for 6,800 yen and can be reserved at Hobby Search and AmiAmi. The stunning Nico Robin is set at 6,000 yen and is also up at Hobby Search and AmiAmi. Anyone already collecting these are now finding themselves interested?
